I forgot what issue, but it took place in Finale Crisis: LO3W.

A depowered Mordru was also able to create pocket universes/dimensions for each of the JSA members.

Odin

NO

Even at 30th Century levels Mordru would not be more powerful than Odin.
He's one of my 5 favorite villains without a doubt but isn't above Odin in power. He could take a fight to Odin ONLY because of the fact that his history of taking power from opponents fight them. His peak power level without amp ( referring to he and Glorith absorbing Infinite man) was not above Odin. Only the infinte man feat would put him there and he had help to achieve it.

Odin.

And yeah, Odin himself has feats of absorbing and warping energy as he sees fit.

One of Odin best feats was when his dark self (Infinity) was absorbing energy from one of the most powerful abstracts Infinity, his dark self was busting galaxies and when Odin awoke from his trance he undid and his dark self.

Another one is when Odin battled Seth and they sent shock waves through out the Multiverse just, and this is when Odin lost his memory.

Odin wins, I would say Odin is some what like Nabu of DC Universe, but higher due to feats IMO

He absorbed half of Infinite Man and all of magic in one universe. What type of absorbing powers does Odin have on that level>

Odin.

Context.

What context? I know he had prep, but it wasn't very long from what I remember.

^ He didn't even have prep. You should re-read it.

What was the context? Either way, Mordru's feeding of magic and cosmic energy speak for themselves.

The character, Kinetix, was from the Earth-247 universe (one of the three featured Legion timelines). Earth-247 was destroyed in Infinite Crisis. When it was destroyed, the magicks fled into her as a repository to survive. Mind you, she wasn't an ubermench sorcerer to begin with -- she just happened to be the only available mystical conduit left. She got killed in Legion of 3 Worlds. Those magicks apparently jumped into Mordru who had no idea that those magicks were in her in the first place.

In other words, it had absolutely nothing to do with prep and seemed to be much more of a happy accident. Granted, Mordru has actively sought out to jack magic before. So depending on how much you want to credit Mordru here, the situation was somewhere between the X-Men receiving the Phoenixforce after Stark blew it up by complete accident or Hope receiving the Phoenixforce after Dark Phoenix Cyclops got beat up because she was the most suitable host.

In the end, Mordru would later get those magicks jacked by Mysa, the White Witch.

Gotcha, but like you said, Mordru has jacked magic before. Even energy like the Speed Force isn't safe.

Thought Mordru was stopped while he was threatening to eat Jay's Speedforce.

DC's alternate realities have a numbering system similar to Marvel's? First I am hearing about that.

DC started it first with Earth-1 and Earth-2, etc. The higher numbers like Earth-247 were cemented when Alexander Luthor split DC apart in Infinite Crisis.

Thanks. Btw, why is the original Earth called Earth-Prime then(if it's even referred that these days)? Couldn't DC just assign a special number to it, like Marvel did to theirs with 616?

Quite right:

Anyway, Mordru's best feat(imo) is owning Thunderbolt from within his own 'lamp':

I'll let y'all argue about where that puts him in relation to Odin.

He was, but it doesn't mean he couldn't consume it. If he and Glorith could absorb Infinite Man, Speed Force shouldn't be a problem. And didn't he also absorb part or the full power of the Starheart? Which is all of DC's Chaos Magic?
