Galactus would be more closer to Oblivion itself that Maelstrom, lol

If Infinity can make Quasar powerful enough to match Maelstrom in terms of power then we know that they COULD do something.
By what you say Maelstrom>Abraxas/Oblivion/IG/UN/GF etc..
which isn't true.

After Maelstrom was defeated, Infinity told Oblivion that Maelstrom was going to "overthrow him and it would have unbalanced the universe" (paraphrased), which implies Maelstrom was becoming more powerful or had the potential to be even greater. Oblivion had to remind him of his place a couple of times.

The power Infinity granted Quasar was enough to match the power Oblivion gave Maelstrom, but added to this was Maelstrom's status as an anomaly + cosmic awareness + quantum bands which was only balanced out by Quasar's status as a greater anomaly. What percentage was Oblivion's power and what percentage was Maelstrom's is unknown. I'll say though that the Infinity Gauntlet is greater than the sum of Oblivion's power + cosmic awareness + quantum bands. However, what is unknown is the Infinity Gauntlet's effect against an anomaly like Maelstrom.

With regards to the question about the intensity of the blast that Thanos tried to kill Maelstrom with. Take notice of the setting. Thanos was on his throne, some guy materializes and mocks his godhood, Thanos' fist is clenched. Do you think Thanos fired a weak blast? And remember, Thanos was monitoring Maelstrom's activity and said something about being rivaled, so he knew Maelstrom's power levels (I don't remember which crossover it was but I believe he was talking to Mephisto or one of Death's servants).

I remember reading somewhere that Jim Starlin didn't like his boy Thanos portrayed as being powerless against Maelstrom. In terms of this thread, if the Nullifier worked it would just send Maelstrom to Oblivion's realm - a place he's probably visited a few times.

I know the maths don't add up: IG > Eternity = Death = Oblivion = Full Galactus > Maelstrom but IG seems to have no effect on Maelstrom. My only explanation is that Maelstrom's an anomaly so the normal rules don't apply to him.

in that issue: oblivion = death = eternity = infinity.
quasar actually beat maelstrom, and with the backing of another abstract. iirc, maelstrom got his arms severed by quasar's power over the bands.

If the IG couldn't do it, the UN sure as hell ain't coming close.

FOrget about the IG good friend,
it would annihilate Maelstrom in a battle.

Heck, Maelstrom himself admitted he was beneath the power of the IG.

Bottomline:

Maelstrom couldn't even affect a single reality with all his power,
while the UN remade the entire prime Multiverse.

http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/maelstrom.htm

"As Anomaly, Maelstrom possessed Cosmic Awareness, and could alter reality; he was immune to nearly all forms of harm, and could not be affected by the Infinity Gauntlet."

I respect Marvunapp, for the most part, their on point,
but even they make mistakes, or interpret scenes
that are actually left with lingering questions due to the vagueness of the portrayal.

Fact is, that we don't know what happened exactly,
what we do know, is that Thanos only attacked Maelstrom once,
and again, for all we know, he was erased and then sent back by Oblivion.

I mean, you say he wasn't affected,
but actually,
he was obliterated,
THEN,
he re-appeared. (in which case it fits in nicely with my 'Oblivion's interferring' stance)

Where are you getting that nothing could hurt him from?

Did Maelstrom showcase an ability to move in and out of Oblivion's realm in that storyline?

I don't remember him displaying such. Although I've not seen Oblivion's realm so when the two communicated it's hard to tell if it's in deep space or if Oblivion's realm actually looks like space. I'm quite certain that Deathurge has that ability, and if Maelstrom is of a higher standing in Oblivion's eyes, he might have been granted that ability too, but I'm just speculating.

That was one casual blast. If Odin and Thanos stopped their battle after their initial blasts where Thanos didn't even flinch would you assume Odin can't hurt Thanos?

First of all, I don't see how you call this a casual blast:

(please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)

Second of all, there are reasons why you shouldn't conflate the impotence of the IG with the concept of casualness. Because not only does the blast not affect Maelstrom, but Thanos is further confused as to whether he was even there. Which means that his complete awareness of space, time and reality could not discern what just happened. This is more in line with the IG not being able to affect/understand a complete anomaly.

The idea that the IG can be impotent is not an isolated instance. Consider also that Adam Warlock was also able to act outside the scope of IG-wielders' awareness because he was outside the boundaries of Order and Chaos.

That's right, Galactus still wins in a stomp.

Maelstrom = I can't even take out the 616 reality without a stipulation,
and even with the stipulation, it would take me time,
enough time in fact, to get owned by Quasar backed by Infinity.

UN = I can erase from existence, and then re-create from non-existence
the entire prime Multiverse (including the 616 reality-Eternity/Infinity) in an instant.

And as far as IG vs Maelstrom goes:

IG ftw. in the most ridiculous stomp ever.

Yes, that's a casual blast. We see Thanos going all out later against Eternity and the abstracts. He was angry and blasted Maelstrom and was not killed. Thais is hardly proof of Thanos and the ig not being able to defeat him even though an avatar of Infinity did so.

The ig still has control over reality and reality still affected him at this point. The black hole later killed him did it not? His concentration and lack of confidence also did him in against Quasar.

I am not saying the ig doesn't have flaws but it still defeats Maelstrom in battle, hands down. Maelstrom at his peak in 616 was on par with Infinity while Thanos was above any abstract.

It's pretty clear that the entire point of that scene is to show how Maelstrom has nothing to fear from Thanos w/IG. It establishes how much Maelstrom had achieved by becoming an Anomaly. You're projecting your own theory on the scene when there's no evidence supporting it.

But regardless of whether your speculation has any merit, you haven't addressed the point about how Thanos, with a complete IG had no idea what just happened. How could the master of all Space, Time and Reality be oblivious to what just occurred? That can only lead to one conclusion: Maelstrom, as an Anomaly, operated outside the bounds of the Infinity Gauntlet.

That conclusion in and of itself would be quite a reach if there wasn't already precedent establishing that such a thing can occur, i.e., Adam Warlock operating outside the awareness of Nebula w/IG. So there isn't much point to your continual speculation until you address that.
