Also, LPS Galactus was seemingly above LT, too.
In LPS storyline, LPS Galactus > LPS LT (which is also ridiculous to the extreme), but LT is far more powerful as what he was shown in LPS.
No chance, just one of the worst, actually atrocious writing for LT that could ever be.

LPS LT is no different from any LT that we've seen, though. He's the same being. LT has no alternate versions which is why the LT who appears in the mainstream (616) universe is the same LT who appears in What Ifs and other alternate realities.
Well, it's one of LT's worst depictions, sure. But his appearances back in the 60s, in Strange Tales, are even worse (after all, struggling against someone like Nebulos is worse than needing help to take on a being who was threatening the whole multiverse which is what LPS Galactus was doing). Which is why i consider "classic" LT to be weaker than current LT.
Yes, I know that, I just want to say that LT has previously been shown as far more powerful than in LPS storyline... of course it's completely the same being who fought Protege or Dr. Strange etc...
I think LPS story wins with Reed and his gun.
In only case someone like LT to really need help is going up against THOTI, but such cases as LPS, LT should handle with ease.
For someone with LT power and status, he has been written more times badly.

It's a just a plot devices. LT being ineffective is just a way of conveying how dire a situation is or how high end the power being used is. Sort of like how he blew up a star as his final judgment on Korvac rather than just taking his powers away/turning him off like he did the Infinity Guantlet.

That's where my point concerning LT being weaker in his old days, comes in.
The Korvac incident happened in '82; LT hadn't done anything significant back then. In 1990 (before IG) he was established to be a megaversal power (which is > multiversal). And being above the IG is specifically attributed as a result of him being a servant of the supreme being (TOAA), back in the What If Korvac issue, LT wasn't the servant of a supreme being.
LT has always been either the most powerful, or the second most powerful entity. (officially)
"Protege/Scathan" are just that, anomalies. It's also over 1000 years from now so it's inconsequential.
LT didn't act directly against Korvak. He should've used his universe manipulating powers,
instead of a single puny sun to attack a being who had absorbed Celestials and Cosmics. 😂
LT proved his at-least absolute universal control when he sealed the whole freakin universe separating it from the Multiverse.
(while Korvac conceded he was not above the universe entire and he needed the UN to affect it)
... damn ... that's PIS/CIS and Plot in one.
Nebulos? Nebulos was a mystery before he appeared in that one arc.
Nebulos had a plot-device in hand, his Staff, that could absorb any attack, including the LT's.
Remember, Protege, able to copy and stack any power he witnesses, including the LT's,
and Scathan was clearly above them both.
No biggi, just anomalies. (Also, Nebulos is irrelevant minus the Staff)
Staff = plot
** The LPS comedy I don't even register as ever having happened. (real dumb shit)

Of course it's a plot device, but for someone as LT, there shouldn't be such plot devices... really shouldn't be.
And was it revealed what happened to Living Tribunal on the moon?

Living Tribunal makes all Superman versions simultaneously more powerful then they already were (from Superman, Superman Prime to Cosmic Armour Superman)No one beats LT except PR Beyonder, PR MM (whom power he got from PR Beyonder anyway), THOTI and Protege.
