The Heart of the Universe is the strongest force mentioned above...not the Inifinity Guantlet.
Living Tribunal and Superman wouldn't fight it out...it would be a matter of wills.
Superman with the Heart of the Universe would eliminate the Living Tribunal. Thanos with HotU successfully eliminated everything...Living Tribunal was powerless to do anything about it. Superman would be the same way.
I highly recommend you pick up Marvel Universe: The End.
An ancient Pharaoh gets abducted as a youth by aliens with seemingly unimaginable power. Hundreds of years later this Pharaoh comes back to earth now possessing this unimaginable power.
He offers all of the worlds leaders an opportunity to live if they are willing to unquestionably follow him. I don't exactly remember but I think he was trying to do something similar to what Cable was doing in the Cable/Deadpool series. Only through violence.
Superheroes stood up to him, and fell. Somehow, someway Thanos and a crew like the Defenders find the Pharaohs spaceship and board it. Thanos and the group reach the part of the station that has the HotU and they find out it's a machine...not an artifact.
Thanos jumps into it and doesn't just become all powerful....he becomes one with the universe. He doesn't just sense the plants, animals, and various forms of matter....he is one with them.
He decides to wipe out all of existence (kind of like how he killed 1/2 the universe in IG) Then he realizes that he is left with nothingness. In a last ditch effort Thanos undoes all that he did and everything the Pharaoh did in order to restore peace to the universe.
It's a great series. A bunch of cosmic beings get toasted in it.
I dont know were you guys get this crap about the LT having so much power i mean what comics did you read were he just waved his hands and did this or snap his fingers and did that he couldnt even beat Korvac and Korvac was only as power as one universe and even then he wasnt as powerful as every single living thing in the universe. His judgement is all powerful? Korvac withstood his judgement and it doesnt matter if it was in a What if comic for you LT fan boys you should know there is only one LT and thus it couldnt have been an LT from THAT reality Korvac gained the powers of every living being on earth, the grandmaster, the stranger, gardener, the in-betweener, the shaper of worlds its there in pen and ink yet you guys still go on about how LT is so powerful when he cant even handle a few guys who are on the same level as the elders of the universe. LT would show up and wave his hand at superman prime and then superman prime would take his arm break it off and smack the shit out of LT while the normal superman with the heart of the universe and IG and all those other things would wipe the LT out of existance and all of you guys would cry rivers and rivers of tears cause the pussy LT is dead. The Living Tribunal is over powered but he in reality has no real power on the level everyone says he is eternity calls him a peer not even a supirior. DEATH TO THE LIVING TRIBUNAL

The issue with korvac your refering is a "What-If", and therefore isn't cannon in the marvel universe but the appearance of Living Tribunal himself IS cannon. Think of it as that the story never really took place but the Living Tribunal that appears in the story is the same Living Tribunal that appears in the regular Marvel Universe.
Any reference to Living Tribunal being weak was just for the sake of pushing the story foward in the "What-If".
Secondly, Korvac did not withstand a direct judgement from the Living Tribunal.
In the issue however:
Living Tribunal caused the sun to go supernova but Korvac shielded earth and himself from the explosion. He never really employed a direct judgement on Korvac like he did on the infinity gems. LT then just decided to cut his losses and cut off any access to that universe. The universe was more trouble that it was worth to Living Tribunal.
Additional Note: That issue was written in 1982 well before MANY cosmic characters were written into play.
Also in reference to the heart of the universe, Living Tribunal, Eternity, and Infinity were able to resist it's power initially longer than any other being in the entire multiverse. Even if Thanos had the "ultimate power" it should be considered a FEAT that Living Tribunal was able to resist its power at all.
so the Living Tribunal just dreamed it all? cut his losses? i thought he was supposed to protect the universes he just pussed out and left and Korvac didnt exactly look like that judgement affected him in the least. Living Tribunal i guess the LT is the greatest entity in Marvel it just seems stupid to me for people to say he is most powerful in DC too witch some of them do DC entities would hand the LT his ass

Living Tribunal monitors an endless amount of alternate universes. Why should he waste his time on a single universe when he can just seal off that particular universe from the multiverse and be done with it?
Cannot understand how can you make threads with beings like LT, Eternity, Infinity, Entropy, Michale, Lucifer, Spectre, and the powerful In-Betweener
They are beings that can warp reality at their pleasure or just wipe out you with a cosmic blast and being unaffected by your attacks.
It's a battle of who blinks the eye first and wipe out the other from exsistence wins.
