Nekron vs. The Living Tribunal

Considering that Nekron banished a full-powered Anti-Monitor with ease and an immunity to the Spectre, I thought this would be an interesting match-up.

Thoughts?

This isn't a match. The Tribunal surpasses Nekron in power.

The LT has banished a universe devouring creature with ease. I'm guessing the LT would be "immune" to the Spectre too since the only authority above the LT is Marvel's God aka TOAA.

So unless Nekron has some super on panel displays of power, I'm going with the LT.

LT

Isn't the Anti-Monitor also a "universe-devouring creature"?

I've also heard arguments that the Spectre is somewhat an equal to the LT. Is that outlandish to say?

Sorta. The LT needs no ones permission to carry out his work, unlike the Spectre. So he doesn't vary in power as much as the Spectre does.

Well currently it depends on how you define LT... I mean pre Starlin (infinity gauntlet etc sagas) like back in the 1980s you had some feats that would put LT as a weakling... but you go like thanos quest forward.. and you get a guy who is only surpassed by TOAA... or... THOTI...

Excellent point rotiart. But newer stories retcon older ones no? So as of now there is no authority above him save TOAA.

He, the LT, seems to operate more freely without being on a short leash like the Spectre. If he wants to ignore a request for help, he does so. Wants to seal off a universe? He does so. Wants to step in and act, he does so. No permission needed.

Eh. If you say the presence = toaa... And lt is usually fully backed by toaa and spectre is fully backed then yes they are similar... However with the introduction of the primal monitor etc thats kinda gona to the wayside...

Ideally id say yes... However since sprectre routinely geta manhandled like eternity for the sake of the story ill say no. (like the recent blak lantern spectre story to name one)

A bit, yes. The Spectre's job is limited to this solo universe.

They both work for the big dogs of their setting- The Presence and TOAA, and The Presence can empower the Spectre more than usual if desired, but I don't think the Spectre has ever gotten up to LT level.

They have some thematic similarities (the tool of the boss to handle problems), but different jobs (guardian and tool of wraith in one universe vs balancer of all universes) that are on different scales.

Nekron would be equal to oblivion who is just one of many aspects of the cosmos that the LT oversees.

^ you mean Mikaboshi?

😛

do not bring that travesty up

It is not outlandish to make such a claim. The issue is the Spectre jobs once in a while.
