It's a completely ridiculous feat to be sure, but ive been meaning to know the exact intention behind owen's omniversal feat. As in, what is Ewing's definition of the omniverse?
On panel he seems to be using the terms multiverse and omniverse interchangeably, but i came across an interview where he specifically differentiated between the two and stated that the omniverse is the collection of all the multiverses, superflow, and everything else marvel has shown. So im not really sure what to make of this.
The most blatant example that comes to mind is when the chained Eternity was referenced as 'the omniverse' fairly early in the series: http://i.imgur.com/MNQ0C3v.jpg
However, Ewing seems to have settled on "multiverse" to describe Marvel's totality, as he uses that term with far more frequency as of late. In the most recent issue of Ultimates, for example, ALL of Marvel's eight previous continuua were referred to as "multiverses" by the First Firmament: http://i.imgur.com/c8ItAAP.jpg
All of that being said, Owen's 'creation in a box' feat is still ridiculously uber, but I am absolutely confident in labeling it a multiversal showing.

Tbf Marvel has basically always used the two terms interchangeably, bar a few exceptions where people tried to explain a difference that was then ignored.
I mean Hickman's Avengers/NA to Secret Wars always says multiverse when they mean the entirety of existence. Even the Cap Britain Corps say multiverse from time to time and the term omniverse originated (in Marvel) from them back when Moore wrote it.
Marvel hasn't always used them interchangeably. Quasar, New exiles, and several handbooks have all mentioned that the omniverse encompasses the multiverse. That and the fact marvel has referenced (and even depicted) several times several multiverses (FF annual, Marvel Knights 4, Quasar, hell even Cable's title mentioned it and i recall also a marvel UK title mentioning it as well.)
The term actually originated before Captain Britain comics from what i recall. I remember a dr strange comic in the late 70s mentioning the term omniverse and also a thor letter's page in that time era. But back then it just wasn't properly defined yet.
Anyway, it's actually a very well established fact that Marvel does have multiple multiverses, so differentiating between the terms seems only logical, wouldn't you say?
In all fairness, that article was written November 6, 2015 -- just before the very first issue of The Ultimates was released. Back then, Ewing most definitely used 'omniverse' and 'multiverse' interchangeably -- they quite literally described the exact same cosmology... After reading the article you posted, however, that may have been due, in part, to his own unfamiliarity/ignorance of the term(s). By Ewing's own admission, one of the sole reasons he used 'omniverse' in the first place was because he just "really liked the word".
As I mentioned, though: Ewing *seems* to have finally settled on 'multiverse' to describe Marvel's current superstructure. Moreover, he also described every one of Marvel's eight previous totalities as 'multiverses' as well... Which also falls perfectly in-line with Hickman's pre-SW cosmology, so I don't mind it too much.
