How do you justify tanking a blast when he's in a defensive position? And are you claiming he would've lasted if Warlock assault was allowed to continue? He already got stomped by Thanos and Nebula.
Galactus, Watcher, Hate, Love, and Stranger are NOT more powerful than the known Celestial. Galactus may be a par with a Celestial but on average Galactus is below most.
Lord Chaos, Master Order, and Eternity would've been fight. Eternity took a point blank shot was wasn't blasted own, only dropped to his feat. That second shot pushed him back slightly so wasn't taking anything the higher abstracts couldn't. But you know full well Ziran and the others were affected saved LT who just SAT there. Are you blind?
How could Ziran's M-body withstand the attack but not the other higher level abstracts?That's why that entire argument of "LT snapped his fingers and restored order hence he's > IG argument" is full of holes.
See above. LT just sat there and snapped his finger. Go find me a person that snaps his finger while just sitting there and shocking an IG user? Are you dense? You still have no one that could match the feat. Stop kidding yourself, you act as if the Phoenix Force would've fared any better than the other abstracts.
He gave it up because Warlock is not Thanos. He isn't a conqueror or nihilist and when he realized that a fight would wreck the Dimension of Manifestations (it's inhabited by living fractals), he stepped down. The LT did a fine job of guilting him out of the Gauntlet.
Lol. He could've restored everything just fine. You act as if living fractals mean anything, they're just energy constructs.
It was shown on panel that he couldn't just shut down the Gems without the IG user's consent, otherwise there would be NO confrontation.
Because the Phoenix Force would've fared better right? It would've ignored a point blank attack by the IG right? And you can justify with that Xorn, Enitity ship, Galactus, or Rook Shir showing huh? Or that Goblin Force showing? And don't tell me this nonsense about how the IG's power came from the Big Bang and therefore the PF has power over it when the PF has never displayed power like the IG.
You have zero proof that was their actuality do you? Anymore than an image of Odin appearing in the LT's hand was actually Odin.
lol. It says Odin's death can be felt throughout the universe by for LT it was just a whisper and you can see how everything is viewing images of Odin. How you can't understand what its saying to you when it's actually spelling out to you is beyond me.
And the LT fled from Korvac and was blasted apart by Reed Richards. At least with the PF we have the following on panel high end feats :
Destruction of two alternate universes - What Ifs right? Lol. Doesn't count on any forum board. Not relevant to any canon character save the Tribunal who actually exist in all universes.
Destruction of multiple galaxies and Annihilus (alternate universe) - Again another What If.
Destruction of and devouring a star (616) - LMAO. That's going to be real affective in a fight against the Tribunal.
Destruction of a solar system (Necrom 616) - A depleted Galactus wreck three. Your point?
Projecting an object onto every plane of existence simultaneously and fusing all alternate realities into 616 (Necrom 616) - Yeah, when everything was in alignment was it able to do that. The Tribunal exist and rules over all Multiverse(s) simaltenously.
Holding a universe and rearranging it in the palm of it's hands (616) - In the white hot room after Jean, not outside of it. Not going to help it in a fight considering she was there because Xorn had killed her. And later, the Shi'Ar with there basic tech pulled the Force out of the WHR and the Force has to run and hide once again from the big bad Shi'Ar.
Saving the universe from a super massive black hole (616) - lol. The guardian of the Crystal and has knowledge of the Crystal is able to access and shut it off? Next off you're going to tell me it's impressive that Strange can move about his Sanctum Sanctorum without getting lost? GTFO with that. How did this help it against alien weaponry or Xorn? It was running and hiding from the Shi'Ar and the Entity Ship.
Saving the universe by curing Eternity (alternate future) - Great feat. But not good enough to beat Dormammu. We can conclude that Dormammu > Bubonicus. Protege > Dormammu seeing as it took 4 high abstracts to deal with Protege.
Now you're excuse is that the PF has 30 years of history so it's not going to be all feated into a handbook. If that's what you believe, then find me a hand book where a character's What If feat is counted as part of there canon history. Not the Tribunal for obvious reasons. I'm sure there's recent characters that have plenty of spaces that need to be filled, who have had appearances in What Ifs.
Kruegarr defeated Korvac by imprisoning him in a dimension where his powers wouldn't work. Krueggar went on to defeat Dual Dormammu. Kruegarr did what the LT or the PF (according to you) couldn't do. So why rag only on the PF for being unable to defeat Dual Dormammu when Kruegarr did, but excuse the LT for fleeing from Korvac when Kruegarr was able to put him down.
So now bfr is a defeat right? Okay then, LT defeated Slorith a devourer of dimensions. He didn't defeat Korvac, only locked him up. It's one of LT's low showings as I've said it before. I never denied that.
I realize they are different Korvacs, but the Korvac Kreuggar put down had all the original "Godlike" Korvac's power from 616.
The point is they are not the same being. Do you actually want to argue that Kreuggar would beat LT in a fight? If all Kreugarr did was BFR Korvac to be counted as a win, LT would have no problems doing the same thing against this Korvac seeing as he BFR Slorith, a dimension eater, who required the attention of all the Vishanti - beings of who Kreuggar borrows most of his powers from. The Vishanti requested the Tribunal to show up and handle the matter.
The fact that when Mainframe asked who should he call to aid him, Eternity specifically stated his only hope was the PF. The Celestials and the LT's name was brought up and he still said no. Obviously that was much more than a mere M-body of Eternity. When Giraud cured it, all creation shook. When Adam blasted an M-body of Eternity at the Trial, nothing happened to creation. See the difference?
You're assuming LT couldn't have beaten Bubinocus and only PF could. When it comes down to it, it's just what he says and not actually LT failing to beat Bubonicus. The fact of the matter is Giraud couldn't beat Dormammu when Kreuggar, a SS did.
That's right, PF isn't Odin. Although they both have higher on panel feats than anything the LT has ever done. I love how you keep ignoring this and bring up meaningless arguments in an attempt to divert attention that you haven't provided ANYTHING on panel for the LT. That's the reason I'm even continuing this discussion, because it's pure comedy gold.
It is comedy gold when you think a being such as the PF who get stomped by alien weaponry and a mutie named Xorn is even a match for the Tribunal. And all you have is What Ifs that has nothing to do with the canon PF as proof. Everything I've pointed to is canon for the PF; it's power is easily manipulated by others. While all you've got is just denials of any feat I've brought up for the Tribunal. If you would like, then bring up put up a thread involving the Tribunal and the Phoenix Force. You and I aren't going to argue on this. The board members have enough knowledge of both characters to decide and if they don't I'm sure you can enlighten them on how powerful the PF compared to LT. Lol.
