Basically you should group your characters into tiers based around having the same amount of health and/or damage (and not based on their levels or promotions). Then, you should try try to make either balanced teams out of cards with good passives and/or moves and with the same levels of health and damage as each other, or else unbalanced teams based upon having a strong character or two (who I generally call "lead" characters) teamed with whoever else you have that you put into a lower tier that can impact the game while being lower-leveled as a "support" character. For instance, Shazam gets a strong boost to his basic attacks and can unleash several special moves in a row upon using his super move; a stronger Shazam  (higher level + more promotions)  can be used with a relatively weak The Joker/The Killing Joke (same level but unpromoted, say) to great effect.

Characters like Raven/Prime (just for the impact of her passive), Harley Quinn/Animated, Green Lantern/Regime, every Lex Luthor, and maybe even oddballs like The Joker/Insurgency can be decent supporting characters. I've never worked with Darkseid/Prime, but if the matchmaker AI doesn't take his passive into account, then he's possibly the strongest support of them all.

Characters like Doomsday/Containment and Black Adam/Regime can be exceptionally strong lead characters (again, this is premised upon them being the strongest member on your team, not upon them being your strongest character overall).

Certain characters break some of these rules: Arkham Origins Deathstroke, for instance, has more and more hidden power per each promotion due to his passive. He can be a "shadow" lead in that he poses more threat than the matchmaker AI registers.

For what it's worth, I am working on a guide [http://injustice-mobile.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Perchance/The_Perchance_Power_Ratings! here]. Generally, though, the above I'd say are the most basic rules that cut across characters of different levels, ranks, qualities (Gold-Silver-Bronze), and overall usefulness.
