OK I'll admit I dont a thing about Eternity but on wikipedia, a pretty reliable but not always correct source, they state
He is, along with Death and Galactus, one of three fundamental entities in the Marvel Comics Universe (the Living Tribunal is further above them all and maintains the cosmic balance of power)
"He" refering to Eternity. On this forum at least its pretty much accepted that LT is more or less equal to Spectre. And its a fact that the Anit-Monitor is greater than the spectre. So if Wikipedia is correct Im gonna have to say AM wins.
Oh Ive just found some more support for my opinion from here on KMC

Another person who agrees that Spectre and LT are both equal and above Eternity.
The Anti-Monitor, the Monitor, and the (Formerly?) Infinite Earths were created by Krona's experiment to discover the secret of creation. The Anti-Monitor was able to consume/nullify thos cosms in part due to their interlinked origins.
Marvel's Multiverse arose from the fragmentation of the Infinity Being that gave rise to the cycles of creation and destruction that eventually led to the current state of affairs. The Anti-Monitor would have far less power therein

The Infinity Beings role in the multiverse got retconned a very long time ago and his position was replaced by Phoenix. Thats how current continuity stands. How long it remains like that however is anyones guess.

The point I was trying to make is that the Anti-Monitor only had the power to consume those worlds because he and they were really one and the same; mere fragments of the one true Creation that Krona's had blasphemy splintered.
It doesn't necessarily follow that the Anti-Monitor would have significant power at all outside of the DC Infinite Earths. Nor does it necessarily follow that having the power of many fragmentary universes would be greater than one unfragmented/whole universe. We cant really say.
Not that a question like this can be answered with any sort of athority mind you, but that's the way my speculation runs.

I see. You're likening Eternity to the Dc universe before it was splintered which is wrong to do. Especially when Eternity himself is just one of many, a small part of a multiverse. Anti - Monitor was like an Anti-matter version of Eternity who unleashed an anti-matter wave which converted all other universes into anti-matter therefore vastly increasing his power. At the height of his power after having consumed all of the multiverse with the exception of 5 universes i dont see how he would have a problem defeating Eternity.

I would say that that hiearchy is messed up. Spectre should be equal to Phoenix and the Source above phoenix.

Why should the Source be above Phoenix when theyve been presented as one and the same in the past and in current continuity Phoenix represents the Crown in Creation?
All aspects should be on the same tier.

In X-men Forever Eternity stated that the origin and end of a universe is Phoenix. In that series it was also revealed that Galactus and the abstracts were merely the evolved humanity from the previous universe and were transformed into their current states by Phoenix.
This is supported in F4 526 and confirmed in the latest F4 Handbook where Galactus' bio states that Galan was protected at the end of the last universe by Phoenix and bonded to the cosmic egg by Phoenix.
It would be lovely if you could check it out and then get back to me. 🙂

Nope. Phoenix in Marvel represents the Crown. (Hence Jeans title of White Phoenix of Crown) Keter/Crown/Presence are all the same thing. Just different names for the same aspect of the supreme being. Keter can be represented in creation via the Primum Mobile (as in DC) or as the Big Bang (Phoenix in Marvel)
Just like how the Source is in DC Phoenix is the origin of all life and all energy in Marvels creation as stated in both F4 526 and F4 Annual #23, X-men Forever 1 to 6 and Uncanny X-men (many times over the years up to a few months ago actually)
