wow, don't see you actually debate very often guy! nice to see. 🙂 anyway, gotta say i side a little more with nilihist in this thread. based on feats, seems odin should win. stranger seems to indicate he could beat uatu but at the same time seems to imply that uatu was there to force him to keep his word. weird. below, we see quasar doing very well against a rogue watcher. stranger shows up and together stranger and quasar take the watcher who ends up killing himself. but before he does he claims HE could have repulsed either quesar or stranger alone. guess it comes down to which scan you want to believe. 😛

not a great showing for a watcher against quasar. in the next issue stranger gets his butt handed to him by overmind (who is quite powerful but still, seems stranger should have been able to take him--overmind couldn't do ANYTHING to quasar....) even in beyond i wasn't all that impressed. stranger would have beaten the heroes imo, but he wasn't doing it 'effortlessly'. least it didn't seem that way to me. there are other battles that can be looked at as well.
i guess i see these 3 as being very close. all have both good and lesser showings. for my money, i think odin has the more consistently high feats than either one and has certainly got the better battle feats. i tend to not put so much stock in dialogues or statements and based on what i've seen and read of them i'd have to go with odin=>uatu=>stranger imo.
i'm curious though about where uatu seems to have so clearly dismissed odin as beneath his notice because i remember a thor issue where the watcher was present in asgard and i walked away with the impression that odin didn't really dismiss him, but sort of suffered him to watch. it gave me the idea that odin could have removed him had he wished though it was a while ago so maybe i'm misremembering.....
