[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 383743, member: 326"] Hi Silverthrone! :) There is no evidence to substantiate this (as far as I am aware). The Living Tribunal made Earths Sun go nova and then fled the multiverse rather than fight Korvac (In the Marvel What If #32). Well the enigmatic race of Infinites may be more powerful (?), but I agree hes generally regarded as the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe. Marvel always hints at a Supreme Being, but thats essentially what the Infinity Gems are; however its unlikely Marvel will ever clarify such an ambiguity. I disagree. Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet is more powerful than the Tribunal. The six infinity gems are whats left of the Supreme Being who decided to divide its essence rather than exist alone. What you may be picking up on was that the Tribunal ruled that the six gems could never function for the one being. Of course that was when he was effectively given the infinity gems rather than in a situation when they would be used against him. That seems to smack of incongruity. Even Galactus, in and of his own power cannot destroy a planet (evidence: Galactus vs. Ego); though he was close to defeating Ego until Thor got involved. Therefore the idea that he could destroy a galaxy must be a false claim. Its plausible that Galactus could have some technology that might (?) destroy a galaxy (evidence: even Thanos has created weapons that can destroy a planet) but that is not then in and of his own power. As I explained above either its a mistake or the act of blowing up a galaxy was some sort of technological achievement. Korvac was able to destroy the universe with one shot from Galactus weapon the Ultimate Nullifier...of course firing that weapon kills the wielder too. I am only vaguely familiar with the Imperiex threat (I'll see about checking out the relevant Superman issues this week). I read that Imperiex disintigrated Doomsday which begs the question how did Superman defeat him/it (don't spoil it for me). I am guessing Imperiex is somewhat akin to Tyrants (or possibly Galactus) level of power? I am only going on evidence. The Beyonder was supposedly able to destroy a galaxy (in and of his own power). The Stranger was just about able to destroy Earth's moon (in and of his own power). But the only issue I have seen was when an army of thousands of celestials warped into space to take on the galaxy sized Super-Ego being...though I don't have all the relevant issues, so details are sketchy on that one. The crude hierarchy of the universe has a few rungs on the cosmic ladder. - Tribunal (at least Solar System destroying power) - Eternity; Death; Infinity; closely followed by abstract entities like Law & Chaos; Kronos etc. (possibly Solar System destroying power though channeled into different areas) - Celestials; closely followed by Galactus); Eon; In-betweener etc. (Planet destroying power) - The Stranger; Elders of the Universe; the Watchers; Tyrant; Surtur; Terminus etc. (Continent/Moon destroying power) Thanks I'll check it out. Not according to any evidence I have seen. [/QUOTE]
