Imperiex destroyed the whole universe. If he did that then he could very well destroy everything in Marvel save Phoenix/LT/TOAA. Krona is a being that is using entropy's power so that is why he's so powerful. Imperiex Prime is the embodiment of entropy in the Universe, hes way above Galactus and the Celestials.

The only beings that should predate him are The Presence/The Source, The Voice, The Word and Lucifer and Michael and The First of the Fallen.
You said he destroyed THE universe. If he had destroyed the DC universe, then nothing after 2000 could have happened. Check your wording. Also, it's claimed that he's a destroyer of galaxies, but there's not really much proof. I'm gonna quote Mindship on this one, because he said it best.

I don't know much about Imperiex, though I liked when Supes fought all issue with what turned out to be "just" a probe. Cool idea; but Imp still strikes me as DC's attempt to be one-up on Galactus.Galactus...the thing with him is: how hungry is he, how much energy does he have? This explains all his varying power levels. What I'm wondering is, what is the difference between power levels, from his strongest to his weakest? My feeling is that it's not in the hundreds or thousands of times, but millions or billions...
Imperiex is called the destroyer of galaxies, but that doesn't mean with the snap of a finger. With his probes and whatever, it likely means Imp lays waste across the stars over a span of several thousand years. If Imp really had that snap-finger level of power, neither Supes nor anyone could challenge him.
Galactus, on the other hand, takes out whole planets in very, very short order. If his scale of operations was expanded, how long might it take Big G to start "destroying galaxies?"
At full power, I give this to Marvel cuz Galactus is a force of nature "spanning universes." IMO, Galactus was among the first and is still the best--the best thought-out--of the cosmic gods.
You don't really need to quote anyone. I've already read everything you have said and what mindshop said. Imperiex has destroyed the DCU and restarted it. We are in the new universe he caused understand???? Did you not read the history pages of the DCU?? In Secret Files Our Worlds at War he destroys the last DCU and takes the blast and is reborn into the new DCU. During Our Worlds At War he was going around the Universe destroying galaxies and planets.. Look in Superman's Ultimate Guide calls him the embodiment of entropy, signaling the end of existence.
There are a million marvel characters who signal the end and marvel has an embodiment of entropy - LordChaos, i'm not impressed. Eventually, according to physics, the energy and matter in the universe will succumb to entropy, or maximum state of inert uniformity, meaning that Order will ultimately dominate, so master order can definitly beat him.
He can't be the embodiment of Entropy. If that was the case, his mere presence on this plane of reality would've have caused its instant destruction. Entropy is like a never ending blaze, destroying all it touches. The end of all things. If he had manifested on the physical plane, it would've been destroyed instantly. That was not the case in OWAW. It sounds like DC gave him the title of embodiment of Entropy without the actual powers. To up his cool factor.....Which failed because he ended up jobbing to Superman.

he planned on destroying it by destroying the DCU main planet holding everything together, Earth. He also within a matter of months went to 2 or 3 major galaxies and destroyed them. Kismet knew she was going to lose vs Imperiex. Galactus never has destroyed the Marvel Universe, didn't he lose to Krona???
Precisely. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but MU earth isn't a sort of lynchpin of the whole universe is it? He wouldn't have anything to destroy the whole universe with if that's the case and It's not a feat of personal power, it's more exploiting factors such as that. those 2 to 3 galaxies were the result of probes invasion and not his own battles. No one has seened him till his battle superman.
And for kismet dying, if she was the emodiment of DCU, then why did DCU didn't die when she did unlike Eternity? That alone if she was indeed DCU would cause a big bang and Imperiex needed not go to all that trouble to destroying specific planets. She was going to lose because the plot needs her to and she returned anyway.
Krona had an absurd powerup. If you read the end where the heroes finally got to the powersource, you'd know he can't do those things in his own power.
