Only this doesn't really relate to what Shooter said, imo.
Shooter simply and clearly stated,
that comparing the infinite Multiverse to the Beyond Realm,
is like comparing a droplet of water to the ocean.
There's no need to speculate on what that means imo,
when it's simple english without the need for an English course
to make it any simpler.
On top of this,
Shooter was direct, precise and literal when guaging Beyonder's power,
and if he used a specific number to assert that guage,
I'm going to go out on a limb and believe he meant what he said
concerning the analogy we're debating over.
Meh, and even if we don't take into account the analogy literally,
we atleast still know (undebatably) that Beyonder was in-fact,
millions of times more powerful than the infinite Multiverse combined.
In the end, that's what really matters,
he really was millions of times over infinity itself.
(yea it reads crazy, but it is what it is)
Factor that into perspective and we end up with:
a character that erased then re-created a Multiverse, (Mxy)
a character that threatened a Multiverse, (Mandrakk)
a character that nearly absorbed a Multiverse, (AM)
vs a character millions of times more powerful than a Multiverse, (Beyonder)
a character that was more powerful than a Multiverse combined, (MM)
a character that fashions the power of two Megaverses in one hand,
while spinning the destiny of the Omniverse in the other. (LT)
Not saying who wins, cause really, who gives a shit,
just defining the match according to feats/narration.
Who wins is a question for the sensible, bias, lovers and haters.

I could find more.
That's just a drop in the ocean.
