improtant note: 10 issues prior, odin was destroying galaxies and the entire universe in his battle with infinity.
odin even mentions that mangog is a threat to a thousand universes:

personally id put odin above Zeus based on feats, there are, however, on panel statements and bios that put them as equals (some other bios say that odin is the most powerful mythological god).
Thor annual #14 puts odin = zeus > Mangog:

but mangog's and zeus' performances says otherwise, for instance, mangog one-shotted thor when he encountered him for the first time in thor #156, while Thor gave Zeus a hard fight during his encounters with him (in thor annual #8 and avengers v1 #283/284).
going by feats, id say classic mangog is more powerful than Zeus.
thanks pal, i have the comic on DVD somewhere lol, I just forgot the finer details of it, but i do recall that there were certain parameters that gave Mangog the win. Zeus does not have many low moments from what I know of so there's that. I've also never read anywhere aside from this forum that stated Odin to be Zeus' superior.
