The problem with Dr. Doom's godhood was that both the Phoenix Force and Infinity Gems could both briefly hold their own against him. So it's very different from the classic portrayals of godhood in Marvel when people just snapped each other out of existence.
At his peak, COIE AM was low-megaversal level. That is to say, he had the power of nearly 2 infinite multiverses. Flip side, it took everything God Doom had to stalemate an Infinity Gauntlet, which are exclusively universal in this day and age.
Which doesn't make any sense. All, or almost all universes, have their own version of the IG. In all the infinite universes NOT one person thought of assembling the IG and stopping the Beyonders rampage?
ONE IG gave Doom with the Beyonders power the fight of his life. Two or three would have ended this whole nonsense.

I agree. I mean, the power of the friggin Starbrand can kill a Beyonder, after all, so I would assume the IG in its native universe --or even a UN for that matter-- could have wiped the floor with the entire race. Perhaps said items weren't included on purpose, as it wouldn't have made for a very interesting story if an IG or UN wielder showed up and massacred the entire race with a gesture/click, lol...
On that note, the Beyonders should thank their graces that the Council of Reeds wasn't around at the time, or their machinations would have never even got past the development phase.
The omniverse or multiverse(whichever terminology you choose to go with) was destroyed as a result of the incursion fiasco, but Doom never had the full power of the Beyonder race. He only had as much power as Owen --who was the conduit/medium/reservoir for said power-- allowed him to access at any given time... Which was only enough to defeat a universal IG after a prolonged battle.

^^ ... calling it a "universal" IG is an unintentional mislead imo.
The IG only being able to operate within a certain amount of space-time is relative good friend.
Because within that space-time it is "all-powerful" ...
It doesn't work that way though old pal.
An IG makes the wielder "God" of a particular chunk of the multiverse,
another IG makes the wielder "God" of another separate specific chunk of the multiverse,
and on, and on with the countless IGs in their independent universes.
Two IGs or more wouldn't work in unison sharing the same space.
Doom stalemated the most powerful being in the omniverse.
It sounds ridiculous, but all IGs are the most powerful items in the omniverse.
So long as they are within their respective realities, no one can phuk with them, save for another "God" (ergo Doom)

"All-powerful" is clearly hyperbole, given that Doom beat it. It is still a universal item, however, so no, it is not a misleading title at all--it's a factual one.
