Metal Gear is a tactical, stealth and espionage gaming series created by Hideo Kojima in 1987. It is set in the modern era, but with far superior technology, emphasising nuclear deterrence, AI weapons and private military companies, while going deep into philosophical implications of warfare, and also inspired on comedy and action films.

Power of the verse[]
Despite initially seeming like a grounded militaristic verse, the verse's power is comparable to nuclear weapons.
The verse's power is the bottom and the apex of Tier 7 (Nuclear). Appearances can be deceiving, as even the lowest possible characters are Town level and by advancements in cybernetics in the post-Patriot era, Large Mountain+ levels of power.
In terms of speed, they are pretty fast, with FTL and MFTL speeds.
Lifting Strength is where most of them shine for their tier. With feats, the lowest tiers are Class M, with the high tiers reaching Class G and up to Class T for the strongest in the verse.

Scaling chain[]
- Main series characters scale off of Snake's feat (amplified) for AP, Big Boss's LS for lifting strength, and Snake's speed feats for speed.
- Metal Gear Rising characters scale off of Armstrong's strength and power feats, and from Raiden's speed feats
- The scaling is very tight, so most lie around the same tier
Notes[]
- Raiden in MGS4 gets an x4 amplification due to Gekkos scaling to Snake (he can flip them over) and gets x4 Snake's AP. Since exoskeletons are stated to be amplifiers of “several times” (several meaning three to five), I’ll use four times as a safe amp and mid end for all exoskeleton amps.
