How does the imaginary version of the his manga, otherwise the same as the promo manga but with retconned power levels look?
According to how Whis describes it in chapter #32, after Freeza’s army was destroyed he transformed to Golden Freeza, and Goku and Vegeta fought him with their Super Saiyan Blue forms. So, the manga basically shrugged off any interaction Freeza had with his first and fourth forms.
As for how Boo and the others compare to the forms other than Golden Freeza, you might have to consider some points:
- Freeza had a tough match against Caulifla when she was using her Super Saiyan form and when he was using his fourth form;
- Chapter #32 implies Caulifla may be more talented or stronger than Goku and Vegeta when you count only the Super Saiyan form, as she was beating Cabba around easily in the same form;
- Cabba and Vegeta were tight close on their match in the same forms, but perhaps both got stronger since then or Vegeta was holding back for some reason, that’s your pick.
Considering those points, my personal take is that Freeza’s fourth form was at the highest level Super Saiyan could reach in the DBS manga, but not so much as a SS2, so likely no match for Ultimate Gohan, SS3 Gotenks and all the package of high tiers from Boo Arc.
About Freeza’s first form, I think you can draw a parallel with Frost’s first form, but with Freeza having a considerable advantage, which you can extend to his other forms as well.
