It could definitely be that GS is adamant in his stance AGAINST a mutant... Dunno if I've ever seen this meself, for that matter.
Of course, kgkg could be on an entirely different train of thought, and the two are heading for each other, but luckily someone left a penny on the rails, so one of the trains is launched off of the tracks to safety. With only a few minor injuries. (how's that for off topic, semi-related rambling?)

well, psi-lord has enough psionic power to create universes. likely the only entity more powerful in a psionic sense would be phoenix/someone weilding the phoenix force/avatar/whatever they are called . . . he also has precog and his psionic abilities can be manifested in countless ways.seems even the celestials were willing to call franky at his full potential an equal. so rather than us telling you why psi-lord WOULD own thanos, tell us exactly how thanos would AVOID getting owned. and pretty well anyone else as well.
The same way he does every thing, by being smarter. Obviously he's got more raw power, but has that ever stopped Thanos? How about when Thanos beat the Grandmaster? No matter how powerful the opponent, Thanos is one of those guys who ALWAYS has a small chance to win, unless you just wanna throw them in a box together and say "Kill eachother". Of course, what feats does Psi-lord have as far as actual showings? Could you give me some comic names/numbers so I can look it up myself?

he beat all the elders 1on1, but ss has beaten most of them as well. and isn't throwing them in a box and saying kill each other the point of these bloodlust, hypothetical fights? and don't forget fr's precog which warns him (sometimes!) well in advance of any potential threat. as for feats - psilord wasn't in many issues and i can't recall any 'feats' off the top of my head because it was a while ago, but check out ff 375 and up. as psilord, i THINK fr had already selfimposed some restrictions on his powers so even as psilord i don't think he was at full strength - which would approach celestial level or higher. or maybe he was for a time. damn, can't remember. f#$#@!^ confusing story arc. anyway, a good description of psilord's powers is this short one:
<<Richards suffers from a mutation resulting in vast psionic abilities enabling tremendous telepathic and telekinetic powers, an ability to fire blast of mental energy, and rearrange the molecular structure of matter on a cosmic scale.>>
in 'days of future past' (the xmen arc) i believe he is called the most powerful mutant to ever exist - or something close to that, putting him even above nate at his fullest potential.
maybe you won't find much in those issues in the way of feats, i don't know. maybe i'll take a look as well. i hated the art and story in those ff books -- guess the simonson arc spoiled me. 🙂

hmph. that sounds a bit suspect to me. how would order/chaos make him immune to reality warping? anyone confirm/deny?
It's unclear. Warlock has being described as being outside the universe yet part of it. At times he seems to be invisible even the the hold of IG!
Thanos is similar I think. They are supposed to be outside destiny,fate As such Their actions and future are pretty much impossible to predict even by the abstracts.
I don't think they are immune to reality warping though.
I'm not sure how useful it is to be outside destiny/fate, it doesn't really have much effect in the comics. At best it's an excuse to explain how beings like Thatos can beat abstracts despite the abstracts knowing the future. But then again quite a few heroes have this ability too 🙂
In the context of this thread, does it mean he can sidestep FR's precog? I don't know.
