DC's version of "entropy" is "UN-like" ... yes I agree.But, how was Krona defeated again?
And, how was Abraxas defeated?
Krona was 'beaten' when he jumped straight into the energy backlash generated by all 12 of his items of power run amuck-- ultimately reverting him into a cosmic egg:

ie. UN+CCU+IG+GL Battery+Spear of Destiny+etc. etc. etc. >> Krona.
Abraxas was destroyed by nullification/entropy.
Originally posted by Mr MasterThe events of JLA/Avengers was never retconned in DC. This fact was made clear shortly after the crossover ended.
^^ That scenario applies to Post-retcon Krona.The Krona from JLA/Avengers destroyed/absorbed only Two realities.
(one universe from DC and one from Marvel)Anything added/subtracted to Krona's history afterwards has nothing
to do with the character designated for the two-company cross-over.

The JLA have a gander at the Krona-egg:

Additionally, the CSA were able to ascertain knowledge that their universe(the anti-matter universe) had been destroyed by Krona only months prior:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15893298/Untitled-Scanned-04.jpg.html
And as you recall, the AMU was among the universes we saw Krona destroy during the crossover itself:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15893297/ja-01-05.jpg.html
The events of JLA/Avengers was also recalled during a more recent retelling of Krona's origin:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15892950/2.jpg.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15892951/3.jpg.html
So yeah, the events of JLA/Avengers was never retconned in DC. The scan operator616 posted is merely DC's [albeit ambiguous] way of informing readers as to the full extent of damage caused by Krona:
And imo, the above statement coincides with the summary page from JLA/Avengers #3: "Krona's investigations tear apart the fabric of universes, destroying them... Krona wanders the multiverse, leaving destruction in his path.":
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15893330/avgrsjla-03-01.jpg.html
The separate statements: "multiversal destruction" and "many universes" imply that Krona had destroyed far more than a scant two universes. However, I won't argue for him destroying more than two universes, because we didn't see it happen on panel. Either way, he's still empowered by entropy/nullification, AND possesses the power of no less than two complete universes.

Abraxas was destroyed by nullification/entropy.
That aside, I know how Krona was defeated,
I'd like to say great it took the UN and IG plus other comedy to stop him,
but the thing is, nor the UN or IG were the "real" UN or IG in that story.
Because the IG alone could've accomplished what Krona couldn't,
which was to bound Eternity and Kismet.
Which is nothing to the Multiversal Space-Time Continuum that feared
and could do nothing against Abraxas.
Just sayin ...
In JLA/Avengers Eternity/Kismet share the Same Multiverse. 😐

I also disagree the "multiversal destruction" line which actually reads:
"Krona wanders the multiverse, leaving destruction in his path"
suggests destruction across the multiverse shared by DC/Marvel.
It's literally referring to the Two universes that were destroyed.
Cause like we both know and agree, that's all that was shown,
and directly referenced in other inside Cover pages.
btw. I hate this cross-over, so I don't mind slipping away from this debate. 😛
Originally posted by Mr MasterSomewhat disagree here. The multiverse wasn't destroyed to defeat Abraxas himself. Reed flat-out told us why he destroyed it:
Cool. Abraxas was banished by remaking the Multiverse though,
and he was Never destroyed.
It's either that, or the Multiverse was remade by banishing Abraxas.
Or in layman's terms: "In order to fix the damage Abraxas caused, we had to destroy all reality." As you know, nullification is nullification-- all that changes is scope, not power. Point: Reed could have nullified Abraxas alone, but nullifying just Abraxas would not have fixed the damage he caused to the rest of reality... That's why the scope of nullification had to be changed to a grander scale.
Originally posted by Mr MasterAs the crossover itself hinted at, and as we now know for sure based on current Marvel canon: all IGs and UNs are created equal. 😄

On a more serious note, my only point is that Krona=entropy=nullification... And nullification>Abraxas. /shrug

^^ El Gay also needed the IG + UN and 10 other uber joints,
to bound an Eternity and its counterpart.
While the IG alone stomped prime Eternity in one move. 😂 😐 😛

Abraxas, and Abraxas alone was the cause behind multiversal upheaval,
nullify him, (rather banish him) and all his actions are undone.
Big G stays resurrected because if Abraxas is back withIN Eternity/Infinity,
then G never died.
Just sayin friend, according to the UN's actual capabilities and bio,
this is what it does, and only should do. This is actually sensible
considering the circumstances: Like Reed got nullified so how did he
press the button on "nothingness" to get "creation" back? On Panel
this is the manner it was described to remake Eternity once
nullified. The UN Handbook also states Reed hit Abraxas and
this caused reality to get fixed. (this suggests my view is very much viable)
Nevertheless,
either stance puts the UN remaking the Multiverse directly
or inadvertently via defeating the most powerful Concept after the LT.
(excluding Concepts: Eulogy and Expediency, which are aspects of TOAA)
