I come to put my point and then be ignored for juicier flamming wars (you know, the usual). First of all, shooting Galactus across his ship is hardly prep, prep would be to hire Aegis and Bro to gang up on Galactus and pwn him, those are entirely different things. Not I'm saying SHOOTING the blast, not talking about Galactus retaliation.
Also, the DC hierarchy is plain messy as Nvr portrays it. Shazzam is an abstract but he is not "abstract level" he is "high father level", Takion is an abstract but I'm not even tempted to say he is "abstract level" either. At his best Darkseid is around Tyrant's level. The Spectre is not equal to the Living Tribunal, the Spectre PRIME may be, saying that an aspect of the Spectre can match the LT is like stating it would take a single face of the LT to stalemate the Spectre Prime, its just wrong.
So sorry Nvr, you know your DC and I'm certain that you are never far off from the truth but I just don't buy your interpretations of your knowledge, in DC a top tier can give a run for its money at something that should be low abstract level, and that just shouldn't happen by definition.
