Plus, as powerful as Korvac was, he wasn't impervious to harm. Though he was never whittled down enough, he was still able to be injured.
Tbf, the only one able to injure him in Avengers Academy was Thor (The others were only able to hurt him after his energies were drained fighting Thor) and Korvac beat him up:

You know, I get that, but he did the exact same thing to a fully healthy Grandmaster in the What If...And yes, I know that What If isnt canon, but I just think that this What If is a special case where the goal was to demonstrate Korvacs power and how dangerous he truly was...
It was only one showing and it was full of inconsistencies (although to be fair to Gruenwald it was one of his earlier works).
616 Korvac before and after that What If was never anywhere near that level. I'm not saying he's not powerful, cause he is, but he's around high trans/low skyfather at best.

Probably a dumb question but why are what ifs inadmissible? I mean very canon stories are often full of pis and we (should) know it when we see it. A lot of Cosmic characters have few feats outside of them so we end up just arguing hype & hierarchy.
As far as I know its because What Ifs are much more inconsistent and PIS filled than standard canon stories...
For example, there is as a What If where Thor literally kills Savage Hulk in 2 attacks; one standard Mjolnir strike, then Thor breaks his neck...game over.
Now I like Thor; hes one of my favorite characters, but he cant run through the Hulk that easily...
And that sort of thing is common in What Ifs...
