So again: Feat-wise, Surtur /w/ Twilight>Surtur w/o Twilight=FP Odin>DP Tyrant.And personally, I liken Tyrant's ability to contend with Galactus via BSE-absorption, to Luthor using Kryptonite to defeat Superman... Or IW using Hyperspace energy to defeat Exitar. Superman is more powerful than Luthor, Exitar is more powerful than IW, Galactus is more powerful than DP Tyrant. In the end, PIS-sy plot-devices simply prevailed in those instances. Just MO. /shrug
I just gave you a few examples of people having more feats but them not being more powerful. This happens all the time in comics and a way of life. The problems with the examples you used are that they don’t matter.. even if you throw out the fight as PIS it doesn’t matter because we are left with this…
1. Galactus created Tyrant to be his equal and made in his own image. Thus we can safely say canon narration has Tyrant to be very close in power to Galctus. Somebody who is above Odin.
2. We have the first battle lasting thousands of years before Galactus winning won… which FURTHER supports that Tyrant was meant to be his equal and very likely his equal. To compare… a galactus who didn’t feed as well nor prep for Odin.. beat odin pretty easily and in a short period of time. It took galactus thousands of years to defeat tyrant.. and you’re going to tell me Odin is more powerful. That defies common sense and logic.
3. We have Galactus very leary about fighting tyrant because of how powerful he was. he expressed this to anybody who would listen. this is canon narration again citing how powerful Tyrant is that has nothing to do with the final fight.
4. We have galactus backing down from Tyrant the first time he met him because he didn’t want galaxies destroyed as a side effect and he wsn’t ready for battle. In contrast… Galactus never expressed such concern about facing Odin… didn’t think about backing down from Odin.. shit he didn’t even feel the need to find a ripe planet to feed on.
5. Surfer who knows Galactus and Tyrant well and felt tyrant’s power.. said he need to hurry to the battle before they both destroy each other.. think about that destroy each other. That clearly implies how big a threat even surfer and the writer felt tyrant was. Surfer never expressed concern about galactus facing odin
You see all of the above.. that has NOTHING to do with the actual fight. It was all to establish Tyrant power level and it was established well. It was established to be above Odin.. even if you throw out the fight. But why throw out the fight.. the fight played out just as you might think. A huge legit threat beat his foe. No big surprise. It doesn’t matter how he defeated him because he was already built up TO be able to defeat him regardless. So as you can see it doesn’t matter how he did it.. he was already expected to be able to and did so. This isn’ t a case of somebody being clearly inferior and then pulls out a plot device to win. This is a case of somebody built up over many issues to be a legit threat to galactus.. somebody made in his image to be his equal being a threat and he was just that.
Then when you add Thanos into the mix it becomes even more clear. Thanos studies tyrant for issue after issue looking for a weakness to exploit. Acquires an amp to fight Tyratn and yet still backs down and losses and admits he would be killed. Compare that to Odin vs. Thanos…. Thanos doesn’t prep at all for Odin.. doesn’t acquire an amp from Odin.. in fact he was seekig Odin’s help not to fight hm. yet he never.. not ONCE did he back down from odin nor admit odin was his superior in a MUCH LONGER fight. When you view that fight plus the above it becomes clear Tyrant was meant to be above Odin and probably is. Sure odin has more feats but I posted out numerous examples of more feats doesn’t mean you are more powerful. Odin also has low showings that Tyrant doesn’t have. We don’t just go by high feats we go by them all. Tyrant doesn’t have any low feats so we can use all of his… Odin does and has been humbled by an army of oversized ants. Shit, a thanos clone with prep owned odin with ease. The real thanos prepped and couldn’t take tyrant? See a pattern here? The pattern is Tyrant > Odin.
