(collector tried to use his PP against the avengers after having NOT used it for a long time and got his arse totalled in a hurry!) i also believe surfer's fought and beaten other elders who also wield the PP - gardener i think, and the runner, and a couple others. and we can't forget the power cosmic is derived from galactus! the power primordial (wherever it stems from) CAN'T come from a much more powerful source. my money would be on SS - unless of course they were both thrown into a ring (which is what it looks like in that farsical issue of she hulk!)
SS beat The Runner?
Thats hella fishy, because i have a comic where The runner is going multiples of Lightspeed around SS and making fun of how slow surfer is, and talked down to SS like he wasnt anything...SS seemed to know not to mess with The Runner.
PP isnt more powerful than Galactus, and Champ wouldnt dent Galactus. Big G is a part of nature.
BUT...thats not the point, the point is SS has only a small portion of Galactus' power.
SS couldnt hurt Champ. Champ totally outclasses him in all areas.
