The Orb was also said to contain the power drained from Morg; the trouble is that the status of the orb was portrayed very inconsistently. On the one hand, it was very clear that Thanos was getting the orb to access Morg's power; on the other hand, Morg was also shown as being re-powered, so that doesn't really make sense; on the other hand, the art in the fight (power aura around the orb) suggests Thanos DID draw power from the orb; yet, on the other hand, Thanos later states that the Orb contains knowledge. It is very badly written, and unfortunately this fight, like the Thanos fight with Odin, tends to get used a lot when trying to establish power hierarchies. My own feeling is that Thanos was amped, but the writing was inconsistent enough that I think the other view (that it only contained knowledge) is completely valid too.

That's why we know with certainty, in hindsight, that Thanos was simply armed with...knowledge.

Knowledge can be a way to attain greater power, as Korvac clearly showed.
Besides that I agree with Simbon, the portrations of the orb was hardly consistant, if the orb contained nothing but knowledge I find it strange that Thanos would utilize it as he did against Tyrant, but that is just my opinion.

problem with that stance--though i agree with it in hindsight--is the clear depiction of the battle's dramatic turn once he got the orb. i still say that when the battle was originally depicted, the orb DID amp him. that was later retconned though by the cosmic powers book.

3 solar system? did you even read the post? sky fathers are galaxy busters, elder gods are multi versal/dimensional beings, atum being at the top shouldnt be THAT far from galactus.
Galactus did that being severely weakened, Atum is no where near Galactus you are speculating because sky-fathers can destroy galaxies, So has Galactus battling Tyrant so what's your point? Galactus stated by Watcher and Eternity Galactus has enough power too destroy the universe 10x over. Atum would get butt f**Ked by Galactus and anybody else in between.
Atum is good but not that good. MM well written will murder Atum.

And newer stories suggest that Nate Grey helped Sentry "stalemate" Galactus, supposedly.
