Magus. Warlock's daddy could possibly take a crack at a Celestial.

Without the PIS of people constantly rewriting genetic code, or messing with the techno-organic virus, he would be a universal threat.
At more than .5 astronomical unit in size, unlimited power, strength, regeneration, shapeshifting, and God knows what other abilities, the Magus has been shown to tear a star in half with his hands.
If you leave out all the x-men bs, I think he's a contender.

Yeah, but he has always been written terribly. You don't create a character with those stats and then have him constantly beaten by mid-level characters.Bad business.
Hey! I'm watching Prince of Darkness Right Now! (Thank you Netflix.)
Very cool.
I always wondered what John Carpenter meant by that "the God Plutonium" statement.
Was it referring to an old name of God?
Was it referring to how mankind fears bombs made with plutonium?
Or, was it a reference to the God "Pluto"?
Know what I mean?
and... you are wrong about Magus. 😎

But regarding the Magus, in all seriousness, he's done nothing impressive on panel though. I view him as high trans, at most, and that's being generous.
Originally posted by zopzopDrax tore apart a starcore, causing it to nova. And he didn't do it casually, at all. That's a massive distinction. You obviously have at least some sense in recognizing that distinction since you already placed Magus at high Trans and not Drax.
Drax tore apart a sun and fought more impressive foes than Magus.
And don't bother appealing to "Drax fought more impressive foes." This isn't about Drax's opponents or Magus' opponents. This is about a being that dwarfed our Sun and ripped entire stars apart in half as casually as Hulk would tear apart a tank. And Trans characters like the Destroyer, Despero and H/P Doomsday don't do that.

Magus tore a star apart and lost to Colossus/Rogue/Nightcrawler and couldn't convincingly put down the New Mutants (sure they ran but I mean it's the New Mutants with some sad members like classic Sunspot, Wolfsbane, etc...).

He should have been used in more cosmic stories. Having him fighting (and losing to) a handful of mutants is misuse.
