I thought it would be best to add an additional section to this thread…
Section VII: Skuttlebutt
Skuttlebutt is Bill's sentient battleship. She was built by the Korbinites using the same technology they used to create Beta Ray Bill himself -- essentially, Bill and Skuttlebutt are family. Her purpose is to assist the protector of the Korbinites.

"I was given a warship to ride, the Skuttlebutt, who has become my companion… And my friend":
"Created with much of the same technology used to create beta Ray Bill's super-being body, Skuttlebutt is almost Beta Ray's equal. They are kin, brothers at arms, though each is one of a kind":
Bill owns an entire alien race without so much as swinging his hammer...
The Drenx (a violent and powerful species hellbent on invading earth) begin negotiations with Abigail Brand, leader of SWORD...
-Abigail-
"See that little horse-faced guy up there? He's Beta Ray Bill. He had Galactus on his knees, I hear. His girlfriend lives here, and he doesn't like you very much right now."
Additionally, both Gladiator AND Surfer pay homage to Bill in the third scan...
-Surfer-
"Asgardian Fury. One of the few things in the universe that gives ME pause."
-Gladiator-
"I know what you mean. In the service of Chandilar I've seen a thousand wars on a thousand worlds. Men like Beta-Ray serve to remind me how humble we should be in the face of this universe."
Respek!

^ Bill was only blocking out the Black Sun's light in that particular area of the planet. So while the storm had to have been very large to accomplish that, it definitely wasn't the size of the sun.
Regardless, the main thing that should be taken from those scans is that Bill's storms can shield against very potent magical energies.
