Does it matter so much that they be Tier 1 in order to make the narrative of the verse work? It seems to work well enough for that purpose as is, there's no need to go out of your way just to make them powerful according to one specific way of tiering characters.

At any rate, there's an entire blog post on that topic listed in the OP, so for the sake of not cluttering this thread without sufficient reason I advise you turn your attentions there instead, if you really want to know what makes a Tier 1 what it is.
