The Odin/Tyrant comparison is difficult because the Tyrant/Thanos fight is so badly written. There is absolutely no way of reconciling the artwork with the idea that the orbs contained knowledge, not a power amp as the earlier text indicated. Both fights have elements that could lead us to believe that Tyrant and Odin were holding back, as we have seen both of them exert themselves more elsewhere (in the case of Tyrant, he grows blades when he fights Galactus). But look, the idea that Odin beat Thanos worse than Tyrant did has to be dropped, unless having your costume messed up is somehow worse than having your costume destroyed, or refusing to back down indicates a greater level of fear than running away and acknowledging that staying to fight would be suicidal. More to the point, both Odin and Tyrant dismiss high heralds effortlessly, and quibbling about how one is more impressive than the other in this regard is silly. What is in question isn't raw power —_Odin and DP Tyrant are obviously somewhere in the same ballpark, even if you think one is slightly stronger than the other —_what IS in question is versatility. Tyrant's background would indicate that he can put his energy reserves to a wide range of uses (like Surfer or Odin), but with only three showings we can't know for forum purposes, and this makes a huge difference when fighting multiple opponents (esp. when one of them is Validus).
