Yet how could that be? CK was merely an aspect of Oblivion.
So if Oblivion is so much more powerful than Death or Eternity that even a mere aspect of him can cause Death to flee and be considered Eternity's opposite, then why does he need to honor any pact (like the one made during Cosmos In Collision)? He's either their (Death, Eternity, Infinity) peer (according to Cosmos in Collision) or their absolute superior (according to Chaos War and the Thor Annual). Which is it?
If he's their superior why did he need Scrier/Other/Galactus to do something his aspect (CK) couldn't.
Both WWK and myself have already answered this query . Zop you are too obsessed with the power-levels of cosmic characters to pay attention to their characterizations . Oblivion, in character , is a concept , part of a natural balance which generally should never be upset . Even if any of the respective conceptual entities want to tilt the balance in their favor , they normally would choose to act via proxies . In a nutshell :
