Here's my take. Scathan had to step in not because LT would've gotten beaten but because LT and LT copied Protege would've been an eternal stalemate. Which might explain Scathans presence, perhaps only he has the ability to nullify the LT's power. But, I believe in the grand scheme of things the LT is above Scathan as far as control. I think that the LT could judge against Scathan and sentence him.
In terms of power on power? Can't argue with on-panel feats. Scathan defeated what was, in essence, the LT.
I guess that depends on whether or not you believe the LT is Omnipotent. If he is, it wouldn't matter who else he copied, he'd have all those abilities and more.
And because of this we have to figure out ourselves what the writer's intent was of this altercation.
That meanie.
I always though Scathan was equal or slightly superior never below the Lt. But he had one appearance and one mean nasty feat. Meh thats my opinion anyways take it or leave it.
I'm not trying to place myself above the writer, just mentioning details that I myself find interesting when looking at the incident concerning Scathan, LT and Protege.
Prior to Protege duplicating and attacking them, with Scathan present, Living Tribunal flat-out states that there is only one above him.
This is also confirmed in the Living Tribunal's handbook.
So if Scathan isn't more powerfull than the Living Tribunal, then why would the Living Tribunal need its help ?
Oh wait, Scathan has 'teh celestial muzzle' which somehow pwns Protege.
I find this character vastly overrated on this forum. In the end, what did he do ? Use the celestial muzzle on Protege, somehow blinding him from what transpires and then held him while Living Tribunal owned him.

Also,
from now on I think we should consider that Scathan is situated in the future,
and until further notice,
we shouldn't include him in present-day battles,
unless otherwise specified.
