Well Leo you're correct in that Tyrant was a peer when he was first created... Being made in his image and all. However, you're incorrect in that he was NO LONGER a peer. Tyrant own words and marvel canon says otherwise. Tyrant had been in hiding for eons GETTING all his power back. When he got back enough he said.. I've gained back enough power to Challenge Galactus.. he further says... He's at the HEIGHT OF HIS POWERS... Now, what on earth can we make of these statements other than he is back to his original power levels if not greater? Galctus stripped power away but that is exactly what he's been gaining back. The only thing Galactus prevented was his size NOT his power level.
To go further, Galactus and Surfer's own actions and words confirm Tyrant is a threat and rival of Galactus... Galactus can sense power levels...galactus has done battle with Tyrant before... he is his creator.. So you would agree he can have a pretty good idea the foe he is up against... Well lets take a look at his actions and see if he considered Tyrant a threat...
1. Backed down from him the first time they met again and let him take his heralds FOR FEAR of galaxies being destroyed... Something as I've pointed out would be of no concern with a mere creature liek Mangog
2. Galactus ACTUALLY (different than usual) prepped and FEED before facing Tyrant. He hasn't done so when facing Odin and other powerful beings.. Yet he did so when he was going to face Tyrant. Hmmm seems to further show that Galactus was concerned and considered him a threat.
3. Surfer, knowing both very well.. was rushing to the fight because and I quote " I need to hurry before they BOTH destroy each other". Seems Surfer also viewed and knew Tyrant would be a legit threat
4. Then we see the actually battle take place and it's further confirmed that Tyrant is indeed a threat, since ya know, he punked Galactus with ease.
5. Tyrant also did better against Thanos than Odin did... Tyrant also did better and Galactus was more concerned about doing battle with Tyrant than Odin. Sh1t Odin one shot himself against Galactus. You can claim galactus did better against Thanos, which on the surface is true... yet going further... It was a prepped and AMPED thanos... that wasn't the case against Galactus. AND.. once tyrant said he was going to get serious... Thanos ADMITTED Tyrant would kill him (just like Galactus) and left.
This all points to the same thing... Tyrant was certainly a peer to Galactus and a bigger threat to him than Odin or mahy others he's faced. Mangog.... please... he wouldn't he bother with him or view him as anythign more than some dumb brute wandering around asgard.
