True, but withIN Comic Reality.
THOTI never was Toaa/god that draw the Comics. (as in the avatar in FF#511)
THOTI was what Toaa/god would be withIN Marvel's Space-Time in Comics.
Originally posted by Southern_Rebel The TOAA is the one who drew the Beyonder to begin with...
Actually,
Toaa/god in the End: (HOTI arc) was Starlin/Milgrom
Toaa/god in Secret Wars II was Shooter/Milgrom.
Half the same ... half not.
Toaa/god in the End arc, made THOTI the ultimate power in Marvel.
(let's not forget that Classic Beyonder does NOT exist in This Marvel)
Toaa/god in Secret Wars made Beyonder "god" of "OUR" Universe,
in fact, "god" before "god" began Genesis. (as in the Bible)
That's right,
Shooter associated the Marvel Reality as "our" (mine and yours Universe)

and the TOAA could just tear the Beyonder up and throw him in a trash can...
and edit Marvel History to say that he never existed to begin with.
Thanos never had that kind of power.
You're referring to the actual Oaa/god (artists/writers) which Thanos was not.
Originally posted by Southern_Rebel If Thanos had the power of the TOAA...
then it seems to me that his power would be well above what Beyonder had.
Thanos was only able to exercise his power withIN the Marvel fictional Reality,
he wasn't able to tear pages and throw them in the garbage in the literal sense.
That's She Hulk's world. 😂
Originally posted by Southern_Rebel However, some say that the pre-retcon Beyonder also that the power of the writers...if that is the case...then, this would just be a stalemate of equal powers.
👆 ... That's what I ultimately agreed upon.
But technically speaking, (based on Shooter's official statements)
Beyonder was something greater.
But I can live with them stalemating. (I respect them both)

I fail to see how the Beyonder could be above the power of the TOAA.
I hope I presented some thought provoking reasons,
but again, I'll say for the record, imo, stalemate.
