what has current LT done? you mention the IG which happened around 1991 and Guardians of the Galaxy took place around the same time<this is where protege was shown>
heck if you want to go by time LT battle protege in the future
LT turns off IG
then teh other abstracts ask LT to turn it back on
then LT turns it back on
then LT judge Adam & tells him to give up the IG
at least im sure thats how it goes
why is Adam gonna try use the IG again after he accept to give it up?
beside u said u aint sure if LT has power over the IG when someone uses it so I post a scan where LT switches it off when Adam uses it. who cares when it happened
because u remember when LT had to team up with other absracts just to defeat Galactus? (Galactus more powerfull then LT. lol! the same galactus whose suppose to be below Eternity and Eternity below LT)
I didnt claim nothing, u posted before me (I posted only after u mentioned LT)
just cause older LT at that time cant do it doesnt mean 5D imps cant. 5D imps are suppose to be ominpotent
not sayin they can muzzle protege, just sayin maybe they can

LT is above the IG, there's no debating that,
his 06' bio confirms LT's power surpasses that of the Gems,
and interestingly enough, the bio uses the incident with Warlock as it's justification.
LT's Infinity War control over the IG says it all though.
Not to mention the LT himself basically conceded to this fact during the Rune arc.
Not true, the LT has always been the same character,
and he's NEVER been retconned by a power-up, or down, or sideways.
.. Yes, in this you're right,
and this further proves the LT's superiority over the IG,
when it's actual functionality depends on him.
Then how come LT had to sit there and contemplate whether or not he was powerful enough to take the IG away from Adam? If he was above the IG and he knew he was above the IG he wouldn't have to consider it.

The LT exists on strict cosmic protocol,
and thus must have all of his 3 faces in agreement
before initiating any kind of action.
We have to understand,
the IG per TOAA allows the wielder to become God of everything,
with the exception of the LT.
So, just like the LT could not interfere with Thanos/IG
because Thanos was fairly replacing the sentience of space/time (Eternity/Infinity)
without changing the cosmic consonance of reality,
in the same fashion,
the LT had to evaluate if he had the authority to interfere with Warlock,
because again, the IG makes one the legitimate God/Supreme being of Reality,
unless TOAA empowers his representative to change that.
Remember, the LT was acting as a direct representative of TOAA's power.
But that aside, we know the LT is above the IG,
becaue of the Infinity War arc,
we also know because it was clarified in the LT's bio,
and we also know, because the LT acknowledged this to be true in the Rune arc.
