Yeah, they're supposed to be quite powerful -- but because of their "we do not interfere" vow, Uatu doesn't exactly have a plethora of high-end feats under his belt. Lots of accolades/lip-service, but not a whole lot of action.
Uatu beating Aron was very impressive, though, given the latter's showings... But I don't remember off-hand if there were extenuating circumstances behind that victory..? If I remember, I'll look when I get home.

See, this was my first thought too. Ganthet is one of the more powerful members of his race, BUT......my gut still says Uatu.
People sleep on Watchers because they are mostly passive but they do have some respectable feats/fights to their name. Too bad their respect thread's links aren't all working. Some very good stuff there.

During Uatu's fight with Aron, they battled across "the infinite rivers of reality", which ultimately ended with Uatu converting Aron into pure energy -- the same Aron who beat Molecule Man without much trouble. Granted, Owen was unable to control organic molecules at the time, but he was still regarded as one of the most powerful beings in existence.
If Uatu cuts loose like that here, I think he wins. If not, Ganthet could take it.
Also regarding the version of Molecule Man that Aaron beat, not only COULDN'T he manipulate organic matter he also didn't have any of his time/space manipulation powers. He was also being controlled by Puppet Master!

^ It was NEVER alluded to that Owen's powers were dampened due to PM's mind-control. And again: Owen was still regarded as one of the most powerful beings in existence in the very same arc, yet Aron beat him fairly easily.
You can downplay all you want, but that IS impressive. *How* impressive is the only part that is debatable.

I'm not knocking Aaron or Uatu, I'm just pointing out that that was probably the most FEEBLE version of Molecule Man ever and that other writers have made use of that same phrasing used during the Aaaron/Uatu fight.
