In-Betweener vs Ego the Living Planet

I hear you,
but it should make us both uncomfortable that G (extremely weak)
can stalemate the In-Betweener.

I mean, IB isn't some push over,
he freaking treated Mistress Death like a joke,
after using her to do his will:

true also. Though Death did exact complete and utter revenge....I forgot how though, but IB was totally incapacitated afterwards, IIRC. Perhaps it was during the Thanos Quest? I can't remember and am a bit lazy to pull up my thanos scans.

About Death, I see what you're saying about IB summoning Death to do his bidding (i can't recall anyone doing that to Death), since death is part of his being as representing dualities and opposite extremes. Obviously IB is no pushover...but here's the reason why i don't find it so uncomfortable for G to stalemate IB:

1. IB himself stated that G is the one, singular unique entity in this universe (or any other). As such, none of IB's summoning powers can work on G...in some ways i'd say G is in someways IB's opposite in the sense that G embodies everything that IB is not; IB is opposing extremes, G is the "balance" between. So none of IB's powers about controlling/manipulating extremes and opposites can work on G, as G has no opposite.

2. IB's favorite accessory, the Soul Gem, has zero effect on Galactus. So that G is among the very SMALL list of entities that don't have to worry about its power.

So those are perhaps the IB's two most formidable and primary weapons available to him, rendered inconsequential against Galactus...obviously, the same can't hold true even for more powerful entities (i.e., Death)...so that's why I don't really have a problem concerning G and IB.

G > IB (potentially, cause G can increase in power, while IB remains constant)

Normal G = IB, that's what I got from their battle.

Under specific circumstances, IB > G,
and we already know what stipulation that is.

Here's a thought,
if IB can call upon Mistress Death like that shouldn't he be able to do the same to Eternity?

Eternity is above Death in power though,
cause he embodies the energies of everything within him.

Wish all writers would stick to that truth more often,
Eternity would get a lot more respect.

But in terms of status, they are equals.

Can we consider that the heralds and the Ultimate Nullifer are Galactus, since the heralds are created with his energy to serve him, and the UN is a part of his power?

I consider the UN his power, because it's a part of him, but since heralds are sentient beings they are not, imo.

Marvel doesn't treat Eternity fair. Portrayed as a jobber. Last time we saw Eternity, he was being 'healed' by heroes. What a shame

Death and Eternity always struggle with Death seeking the upper hand

Agreed on Eternity needing more respect. He should be next in line below the LT.

Exactly
