Knowsbleed33 You know my name

First off none of what a cube has done would lead to the imminent destruction of the universe. The Chaos Engine cube was a nascent cube constructed from bits of broken and failed cubes. It wasn't trying to collapse the multiverse, it was simply too inexperienced to know what it was doing.

Thanos became Eternity with a cube so I'm not sure what you're getting at with your second point?

I don't have a good reason to explain away your last point other than the "restriction" argument. I can only guess that Kubik was comparing those cosmics to a restricted cube or cube being. Based on what we've seen a cube do and Mephistos explanation, an unrestricted cube is potentially on par with the IG.

Yes because we've seen immature cubes do far more than Galactus or Celestials are capable of. Hiding behind the excuse that "we haven't seen them do it because it's no in their character" is lame.
Can you honestly sit here and tell me that you think Galactus or a Celestial can turn someone into a universe or merge several universes together?

We've never seen them do it because it is not in their own interest. That isn't a lame excuse, it's just a fact. Cyclops, Havok, and Iron Man all have the power to level cities but there's no reason for them to. Just as they protect the world, Galactus protects the universe. While there are a few worlds that have to be sacrificed, it is not in his own interest to destroy and recreate the universe.

Galactus has been shown to destroy solar systems with simple gestures when he's pissed. Thanos concluded that his fight with peak Tyrant must have destroyed galaxies. The Ultimate Nullifier, capable of destroying all existence, was described by Galactus as being a part of himself (which makes it a small manifestation of his power).

With that said, I don't think it's too farfetched to believe that Galactus can match and exceed the Cosmic Cubes' feats.

Kubik was damm close, with Beyonder, same with the Cubes that Magus had.

It have already been mentioned that the cubes varies in power iirc. When Thanos assumed Eternity's role with the CCU I don't recall him fighting him like he did with the IG, so I'm unaware of how he claimed it. Now would a single being with the power of a Celestial ore Galactus be capable of assuming Eternity's role? Celestial couldn't imo, Galactus at Full Power would be Eternity so...

To me Knowsbleed it appears more as you simply doesn't like the idea of them being so powerful but ... *shrug* . Obviously, a unrestricted CCU from my point of view would be a cube with unlimited access to the power of the Beyonders Dimension, and obviously that is a power far above what any in the 616 reality can hope to produce, in regards to mephisto, we are never certain whether he speaks of the Infinity gems in perfect unision ore seperate, where they also have a enormous power. But even if we are talking restricted Cubes the powerlevel that is granted to the Greater Powers is huge.

Just my own opinion, but I always figured full-potential Galactus as being greater than Eternity and Death. My reasoning being this: the Ultimate Nullifier is a part of Galactus, and thus, a manifestation of his power. That power can destroy all life, time, and space. Without time and space, there is no Eternity. Without life, there is no Death. It's not in his own interest to do something like that, but it would be an example of an extreme attempt at balance.

Again, just my own thoughts on the matter.
