I don't think Scathan is on Lt's level but you're welcome to that idea (naturally).
It's not something that can be countered by some energy damping celestial, Novu is a super adapting story, that's what he is.
He feeds on story, the dramas, their very reality, that's what Monitors do and Novu was the greatest of Monitors, he created the Cosmic Armor before he became an outcast after all.
The only thing that affected the Monitor's was story, the overaching sagas that affect living things, this is what made them the indivduals they are now. Novu was the part of the Prime Monitor that felt contaminated by this 'story', hence the reason he wanted to devour all reality until there was nothing left but Mandrakk.

Protege had become powerful enough to be a threat to the entire mulitverse and even at copying Lt's powers it still wasn't enough to resist the mighty muzzle.
Good point. This is the only plot device out there that I can think of at the moment that can defeat him. The hotu has the best feats out of any comic I have ever read and displayed a power level that would easily defeat Mandrakk.
I for one really don't believe Scathan was above the LT at all. He never faced protege one v one. Protege was dealing with the LT and was attacked from behind and muzzled so he couldn't see and then that gave the LT time to do what he did. To me it clearly seemed like Scathan was sent there by the TOAA to do exactly what he did. LT's power had been duplicated and thus he wasn't the one authority anymore and thus Scathan was needed to preserve his role as such. Again though imo Scathan isn't above the LT.

Opinions this, opinions that ...
when the bottom Marvel fact line is ...
....
Scathan didn't muzzle Protege from behind,
Protege was about to erase the LT, Eternity. Hawkgod and the rest,
when Scathan stomped Protege with orange flaring energy
that proceeded from Scathan as he disapproved of Protege.
The muzzle was an after affect of Scathan's decision.
Now, seriously, whoever doesn't enjoy this truth,
can just email Marvel and complain,
but please yall.
let's stop speculating with unsupported opinions over Marvel on panel,
confirmed in Marvel HandbookS,
100% canon facts.
Wow that is such BS. By that logic you can just say that no matter what the matchup is. Mandrakk vs. TOAA? Eats his story. Mandrakk vs. your mom? Eats the story. Dumb.
Gender: Male Location: Hiding from The Doctor, shhhh.....
Considering what Mandrakk is.......pretty much anyone short of TOAA/The Presence is going to lose.
The original Monitor is basically the Presence. The 52 monitors are different aspects of him that he created to study the multiverse. They were changed by the nature of the stories. Dax Novu believed it was contaminating them and corrupting them. As a result, the Monitor's belief turned him into a monster that fed on the story of the multiverse. Mandrakk the Dark Monitor. And as he was beyond the monitors and part of GOD, he was unstoppable by any lesser being. The armor that Superman used to stop him was created by Dax Novu himself before his fall.
Mandrakk was a god beyond even the likes of HOTU.

The Monitors are fundamental beings, the authors of existence with the multiverse resulting as a "flaw" within the primal monitor, this flaw caused an infection called 'story' and from then the Monitors were forever transformed developing individual unique forms (the 52 Monitors).
That I have to explain this to people arguing for Scathan is ridiculous.
