Even if, for some reason, you don't put much weight in the fact that the Embodiment of the Multiverse being powerless to stop Abraxas is a sign of Abraxas' power, you can't ignore what happened between him and Franklin Richards.Franklin didn't dare attack Abraxas directly and was in fear of him. You have Rogue Celestials (that were one shotting IG users and brushing off attacks from a Starbrand wielder) in panic of Franklin calling him "beyond Omega level" and a "universal level Shaper". All that power and he feared the "Dark Man".
I can't see Abraxas losing this fight (vs Dream).
Nah i understand why youre saying what you are, but think about Franklin as a whole character as opposed to just his power set when making the assessment.
Franklins what. about 7 or 8, hes not a very experienced fighter, hes not experienced in the use of his powers because for the majority of his life they have been suppressed, most of the great stuff he has done has been subconsciously. As a 7 or 8 year old kid, running away from some nightmare figure that was haunting you in your dreams is understandable. That instance cant then be used as an indicator for Abraxas' power.
If it was an experienced, battle ready Franklin in full command of his power fighting Abraxas, losing and running away, then your point would be solid. However in this case when you take all points into consideration, a child running away from a boogeyman is not good enough evidence to make the point youre trying to. Im a grown man, however i hate spiders, they spark an irrational fear in me and i will evacuate a house if a big one comes near me, thats in spite of me being very physically capable of squashing it like its nothing. So think about the character, not just his powerset.
As for Eternity, i mentioned the Chaos War incident for a reason. The top tiers not getting involved despite a threat to themselves is standard. It would make for a boring story if they stomped a threat in two panels. Again, if Eternity had faced off against Abraxas and lost or made a comment pertaining to his power being dwarfed by Abraxas' then your point would be solid, but in Marvel there is a precedence for the top tiers to leave the heroes to do the work and save the day because it is them that we buy comic books to read about 🙂
