To make a verse powerful, you have to make its SOCIETAL STRUCTURES have great tiers, duh! It doesn't help if MC's squad and villain squad are Tier 1-C if everyone else absolutely is in tiers 10 and 9 if both squads are three people each and they don't do much to society.

Now, if you have a verse like BNHA where the people who defend society and fight for countries and institutions — their heroes and soldiers — are on tiers 8-B through 7-B with this 7-A~6-C outlier called All Might, then you can say we have a powerful verse: threatening the world in it would be met with this level (an army of 8-B through 7-Bs) of opposition, a war between verses would have this verse fight with this much power.

I personally find a verse more powerful when society is at higher tiers than when we have "duh everyone is Tier 10 to 9-C+ but the hero's team has nobody weaker than Tier 5 and btw we have members of the hero's team who can OHK each other yet we'll force situations where the weak members are relevant even though the stronger ones would not sweat to fodderize any enemy which makes a fair battle against the weak ones so we have Tier 5 fodder but pretty much everyone in this verse is an outlier to it". A verse with lots of societal structures and armies where you can predictably find people who are able to cause even a bit of damage to this other verse's top ties is already stronger through sheer numbers and organization unless they suffer from the PIS every villain mook suffers.
