agree oh its in the vs forum cuz im pretty sure people are gonna have the demons on the list in a battle debate for sure so yeah
dormammu and set cant even challenge chthon here is a explanantion of his power someone wrote and i quote
"the Elder God and Primal Devil himself, Chthon has been described as the Great Shadow that creeps behind the feet of God.. he is perhaps the most feared being by all of Earth's mystics and religious sectors as they would go to all possible extents just to prevent his influence.. Eternity himself likened him to a cancer, that if left uncheck, all of reality will fall before him in a blink of a eye and it took the combined effort of Oshtur, Set and Gaea to banish him and prevent him from corrupting the very fabric of magic itself.. the Vishanti created the seat of the Sorcerer Supreme to battle his threats and Gaea, Mother to all Godly Pantheons has erected magical barriers to prevent him from returning.. Chthon possesses unimaginably vast mystic powers, so vast in-fact that it is the very reason that prevents him from leaving his realm for no inter-dimensional rift is big enough to contain his full essence.. the true testament to his powers so far was when Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch (whom he blessed with a fraction of his powers when she was born, a power known as Chaos Magic) destroyed and re-created reality itself.. she casted her spell over billions upon billions of souls, world and dimensions.. permanently shifting all possible futures of the entire Marvel Omniverse, a feat nearly unprecedented even by cosmic entities.."
he was also the first practitioner of the black arts and the creator of the darkhold.
only shuma gorath can challenge him.
That's lord_oraculous016 from comicvine. Used to debate him a lot before I got banned from comicvine for pissing off the mods. Good debater, but certain things I disagree with definitely, one being how powerful he thinks Chthon is. HOM Wanda's feats have nothing to do with Chthon and cannot be attributed to him. He's also been pwnd quite easily before. These are just grandiose claims.
Do you even know what Set is capable of? Set has beaten a fellow Elder God (Gaea) not once, but twice. Set has survived multiple encounters with Classic Demogorge and even stalemated him once for millions of years (the resulting battle wiping out the dinosaurs). Dr. Strange/Spider Man/Scarlet Witch/Thing combined their willpower and burnt out a Cosmic Cube exorcising Set from Earth.
No other Demon on that list has fights or feats anywhere near that impressive.

1) Getting the crap kicked out of you by a cosmic cube = being at its scope of power.
2) A fight taking millions of years that only manages to wipe out the dinosaurs is > controlling the entire Earth instantly from dimensions away
1) It wasn't just the Cube. It was the Cube (backed by the willpower of Strange/Wanda/Ben/Peter) AND Dr. Strange's artifacts. Set was banished but the Cube was burnt out. They exhausted the power of a Cosmic Cube (backed by Strange's artifacts) to banish Set from 616 reality. To further cement the point, Set stayed banished till Strange destroyed (or thought he destroyed, it later turned out that Agamotto took the artifacts to his realm) his artifacts and the exorcism spell keeping Set out weakened. So it was the Cube (that ultimately got burnt out) + their combined willpower + Dr. Strange's artifacts to BANISH Set from Earth.
2) The extinction of the dinosaurs wasn't the point genius. The fact that he managed to stalemate CLASSIC Demogorge for MILLIONS of years before ultimately losing is a greater fight than anything those other demons on that list have ever gotten into (possible exception of Mephisto in regard to his battle with Galactus, but Mephisto was in his own realm yet Set fought Demogorge on the Earthly plane so he didn't have any kind of home field advantage).
