Dr. Strange merged with Shuma-Gorath by destroying him. Strange then destroyed his ego, so as to destroy the Lord of Chaos. Later, with the excess energy of Shuma-Gorath burned-off, only Dr. Strange remained when Kaluu and his pupil arrived on the Earth plane. I would surmise that Shuma-Gorath's energy reassembled itself in his home dimension where he now is plotting another conquest of Earth.
Yes he has been killed, but it says right there, he probably reassembled himself in his home dimension.
It also may be impossible to permanently destroy him.
He can be defeated, but it's very hard to kill him. This thing actaully forced Strange to kill himself. I think he beats Cyttorrak. Shuma Gorath wins.
We've seen Shuma Gorath defeated several times, but never a defeat for Cytorrak--granted Shuma's tried to take over the Earth again and Cytorrak hasn't. Even the Vishanti had a hand in defeating him once. When Strange was being summoned by the great mystical deities for service in the War of the Seven Spheres, the Vishanti appeared to treat Cytorrak almost as an equal. I don't know if they'd do the same with Shuma Gorath.

I would disagree with "the Squid"'s conjecture that Shuma Gorath reconstituted, based as it is solely on SG appearing in one panel of a montage presented by one Cube being to another to learn about the multiverse. I would chalk that up to the same lack of coordination between Marvel's editorial desks that gives us a HYDRA fleet invading and mini-nuking Manhattan in Thunderbolts one month, and Peter saying they hadn't amounted to much in recent years in Amazing the next month (with his New Avengers membership clearly setting the story months later). Spidey was even shown fighting the HYDRA troops in TB.
Until we see a story with Shuma depicted as active, I'll take his destruction by Dr. Strange at face value.
We shouldn't take sites like maruvap to be authorative when they stray from the source material and start theorizing. Not that I don't theorize, but I don't expect others to take my theories as gospel when they're not supported by the texts.
It was incredibly stupid and bad writing to have Juggernaut defeat Cyttorack He only has a fraction of Cyttoracks power and that makes absolutly no sense that He should beat Him but then again Cyttorack was cought off gaurd. But i think it happend more then once witch is once again.............really bad writing and stuipd but who am i to judgei guess they though it look cool.
