I would argue Storm on the same level as Beast in the 80s and 90s. She was one of the first black superheroes, possibly the first but definitely most prominent superheroine of color, she was as present in the X-Men as Wolverine throughout the Claremont run (the only two who didn't retire or go to another book since Giant Size), as much a part of the cartoon as Beast, had the mohawk outfit, and was Amalgamated with Wonder Woman. She was comparable to DC's #3 in their triumvirate as Marvel's best/most popular superheroine. Add in Marvel vs Capcom presence and Halle Berry and actually, y'know what, she's higher than Beast. Same tier, but higher up.

Always been curious what tier lists would look like by the decade, maybe even year if possible.

I'd guess Iron Man was A or B list in the 60s and 70s and 80s through Demon in a Bottle, Secret Wars, and Armor Wars before falling to B or C with most other Avenger types in the 90s. I agree that New Avengers & the Ultimate line brought him back to a solid B.

The 90s A-listers were a different breed. Wolverine, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Spawn, Punisher, Venom, Hulk, Gambit, Rogue, Cyclops, Storm, Robin, maybe Wonder Woman, Captain America, Catwoman, and Thing.
