But it still setsthe precedent that even in the 616 universe the ig wasn't all knowing and hence possibly all powerful

The IG's effect was based on the users Intent.
meaning wherever he focused his will, the effect happened.
Absorbing all the knowledge in the universe is a feat that would destroy any comic character.
IG didn't do that.
You know I'm talking about ig vs maelstrom right now and it's a fight you won't win so your spinning it back to a topic your more comfortable with.
And as for the sensory perceptions you are assuming that there was a requirement to focus your intent... Can you verify that sensory perception is not an automatic ability

That maelstrom was not up there with the ig in power
that you think only lt is above the ig
:-)

Maelstrom only disappeared after he tanked a blast from Thanos. Really alot of beings such as abstracts could have tanked one blast from IG. if he actually went toe-to-toe with Thanos then it would have been safe to say that Maelstrom=Thanos with IG.
Eternity went up agaisnt Thanos for a good amount of time.
Quasar travelled to another reality where maelstrom had fought thanos and there maelstrom an thanos were both called omnipotent by the watcher
theonly apparent difference in that universe was that maelstrom fought thanos with the ig rather than leaving
that maelstrom blasted quasar into the greater omniverse where he received the starbrand

1. Maelstrom didn't usurp oblivion... To do that he needed to wipe out the universe with a black hole... He did not do that
2. But as to the 616 maelstrom. On panel thano did not affect maelstrom with a blast that he thought should have obliterated him. And Boone has tanked a blast from thanos unfazed except for maelstrom and the living tribunal

There is no indication at all of how a fight between Maelstrom and Thanos would have gone....for all anyone knows the ig was completely innefectual against him.
True. What I interpreted is that on one page they mention that quasar doesn't remember thanos or the events of the infinity gauntlet
and on the next page mentions he wonders hat events lead up to thanos attaining omnipotent power also...
I put those together to say that thanos had the ig
but true. They don't directly say he has the ig... To me it's more indirect
But your right I couldn't find them saying it explicitly that thanos had the ig either

He didn't in the 616 reality but common sense tells us he did so in the alternate reality where he faced off against Thanos. Either way it's an alternate reality with too many unknowns so you bringing it up doesn't help your case at all.
2.Yes, because Maelstrom was more powerful than Thanos anticipated. He wasn't anywhere near Eternity level at this point and a blast like this wouldn't have even made eternity flinch.
1. Common sense doesn't not tell us he did usurp oblivion. If you read quasar you would know the requirement for him to attain oblivions position was to wipe out the entire universe with a black hole first... The universe was not destroyed...you are not following the events leading to maelstrom rise in power and are making assumptions based upon what I'm telling you..
2. That is not answering what I posted at all. You cannot prove that while in the 616 universe eternity would have tanked it. Outside in the room on manifestation he tells us he would have been unfazed... While in the 616 universe thanos defeats eternity off panel. You haven't identifed who could tank a blast from the ig while in it's home dimension other than maelstrom

1.They explain had maelstrom won that he would have usurped Oblivion's position. I am saying if the events followed the 616 ones he'd have taken over and supplanted Oblivion's place.
2. I posted a scan which you misinterpreted with eternity basically saying the effects would be nonexistent. Comics support me while you are all over the map.
