And yet he couldn't snap his fingers and remove the Gauntlet from Warlock. He had to reason with Warlock. He didn't ask Warlock to stop when Warlock was attacking Eternity, he snapped his fingers and restored order. But that only proved that he can interfere with an attack, it doesn't mean LT could've snapped his fingers and Warlock would lose the Gauntlet in an instant.
I'm not arguing that LT isn't stronger than the IG, but it wasn't like his mere wish could've taken the IG out of Warlock's hand. He needed Warlock's approval to no fight back for him to take the Gauntlet.
Now if LT wanted to take it by force, it wouldn't be just a mere thought but a struggle for the Gauntlet, one that LT would EVENTUALLY win - it'd still be a struggle no less. One that would result in the destruction of the universe ask LT himself stated to Warlock.
he could have done it. he could have stopped the entire infinity gauntlet saga from even happening, but he said it was of natural order for it to exist. therefor he did NOT interfere. but he COULD have.
He could've interfered and fought Thanos for the IG, but it wouldn't be just with a thought and Thanos would lose the Gauntlet.
the struggle would last long enough for LT to think adam warlock to not have the infintiy gauntlet. then the "struggle" would be over.
And what evidence do you have of such? If he could've done such a feat, then why reason with Warlock instead of just thinking of Warlock not having the IG. What's with the statement of "a struggle that would no doubt end the universe" from LT?
Warlock can do almost anything LT could do. LT just has more power behind him, but this doesn't mean LT can just do anything with a mere whim to an IG weilder.
And this is all stated in Infinity Watch #1. LT ain't second; it hasn't proven that he is; and bios prove squat.
LT says he SERVES a power that dwarfs Warlock's own, not that he IS a power that dwarfs Warlock's own. He's more powerful than the IG, but dwarfing would be a bit much.
the original beyonder, is the same beyonder after the fact. it was mere illusions 😉 LT dwarfs them all in power.
Original Beyonder meaning as he was ORIGINALLY INTENDED in SW I & II. In those, he was the supreme being; LT had nothing on him.
What you speak of about ILLUSIONS and such happened way after SW I & II and was the RECKON of the Beyonder character. That reckon was done cause Marvel didn't want a God-like being in it's universe.
Thus: ILLUSION = RECKON
ORIGINAL = BEFORE RECKON
