I see you're under the impression Scathan is/was just another Celestial. 😬
Protege copied the powers of
the LT/Eternity/Hawkgod/Beyonder/Mephisto/Malevolence and GOTG,
this made Protege more powerful than all of them combined,
then Scathan came by and stomped all that power with a gesture.
Anyone who believes Scathan is/was just a Celestial is posting with ignorant innocence.

Yep. Energy muzzle to the face, an attack that really had no clear effect that might have defeated a being that was supposedly above the LT.
Anyways, it looked like Quasar 38 retconned it the moment a Watcher appeared on the scene and declared all of the abstracts "manifestations" or M-bodies, and "homogeneous in scale" looking ones at that.
M-body pretty much = the Thanos Clone excuse for lower end abstract showings.
Sometimes, I hate when they pull that though.. The epic Spectre/Great Evil Beast showdown was treated much the same way, when in the Last Days of the JSA story Spectre revealed he only sent a minor portion of his power to confront it, and that it's threat wasn't nearly as bad as the Ragnarok the JSA was facing..
Yeah, that wasn't really necessary, basically pumping up one story at the expense of Alan Moore's story.. Luckily, no one really seems to know or care about the retcon...

PIS is when a character performs a feat, or can not perform a feat
that's outside and/or beyond/or below the inherent characters power-set.
This is done to either defeat one that can not be defeated (at-least withIn whatever story)
or to bring a story to an end.
So, while I felt at first that it was PIS, I later realized it was not.
This was Protege's and Scathan's only appearances, so this was their character set powers,
therefore no PIS was involved.

In Marvel comics, the M-bodies (fractal in-casings)
house the full power of the sentient abstract conceptual entity it gives form to.
M-bodies NEVER come in fractioned portions of power,
and Quasar 38 or any other issue has never made any statement or allusion to the contrary.
In fact, an Abstract can't make/have a showing without an M-body,
so this unsupported theory ('excuse for lower end showings'😉 is not even possible.
Simple ... Protege copied the full power of the LT and company I mentioned,
then he got stomped by Scathan with a gesture.
This is the on panel fact, this is the fact that's corroborated in the LT's official handbook bio.
