Scathan the Approver vs The Living Tribunal

Here's my take. Scathan had to step in not because LT would've gotten beaten but because LT and LT copied Protege would've been an eternal stalemate. Which might explain Scathans presence, perhaps only he has the ability to nullify the LT's power. But, I believe in the grand scheme of things the LT is above Scathan as far as control. I think that the LT could judge against Scathan and sentence him.

In terms of power on power? Can't argue with on-panel feats. Scathan defeated what was, in essence, the LT.

Protege>LT. He had plenty of other copied powers besides LT.

I guess that depends on whether or not you believe the LT is Omnipotent. If he is, it wouldn't matter who else he copied, he'd have all those abilities and more.

Nah. Stated on panel, Protege exceeds the power of the abstracts including LT as his powers stack.

LT.

Is it just me or is Scathan an aspect of the Living Tribunal, considering how approval is an aspect of judging?

Maybe his "new" and hidden 4th face? !! 😕

What puzzles me is that we never see LT directly attack Protege does we?

He just stands there waiting for Scathan to make his move (It seems that way)

That meanie.

I always though Scathan was equal or slightly superior never below the Lt. But he had one appearance and one mean nasty feat. Meh thats my opinion anyways take it or leave it.

I'm not trying to place myself above the writer, just mentioning details that I myself find interesting when looking at the incident concerning Scathan, LT and Protege.

I read this a long time ago as well so my memory could be a little fuzzy here.

I loved the gotg though. I read the first issue of the new gotg. Too early to tell if it will be good or not.

Prior to Protege duplicating and attacking them, with Scathan present, Living Tribunal flat-out states that there is only one above him.

This is also confirmed in the Living Tribunal's handbook.
So if Scathan isn't more powerfull than the Living Tribunal, then why would the Living Tribunal need its help ? 😬

Oh wait, Scathan has 'teh celestial muzzle' which somehow pwns Protege. 😂

I find this character vastly overrated on this forum. In the end, what did he do ? Use the celestial muzzle on Protege, somehow blinding him from what transpires and then held him while Living Tribunal owned him.

Meh .. whatever.

Evidently in this arc, it was true.

Also,
from now on I think we should consider that Scathan is situated in the future,
and until further notice,
we shouldn't include him in present-day battles,
unless otherwise specified.

Just a thought.
