Well in the aforementioned scan, he's red hot so obviously his temperature's also raised.His portrayed cap is obviously varied. He's absorbed the likes of Asgard and a cosmic cube successfully, but he's also been overloaded by less. And every time it's happened the circumstances surrounding it make it difficult to quantify. Sentry did it once, but in their next encounter AM did ok by absorbing his power over time rather than all at once(and let's face it, Sentry's power level is EXTREMELY variable). Dazzler did it, but who can say how much power she was pushing since she was converting Blackbolt's voice into light and BB himself didn't seem to be able to overload him. Quasar did it, but that's after AM successfully absorbed the quantum bands and Quasar specifically noted that bad things happen to people who wield the power of the Quantum Bands without being protector of the Universe and started pumping more and more power into him.
AM is basically the ultimate plot device character totally subject to the whims of the writer. But since we take characters "at their best" on the forum, I wouldn't count on anyone in the herald tiers as being able to overload his abilities(even my boy Surfer). When you get right down to it, giving AM the magic potion that created him was the stupidest thing Loki ever did. If he'd drank the potion himself he could have kicked Thor's ass at will. I mean AM's powers PLUS Loki's powers and cunning... Thor wouldn't stand a chance lol.
Agree to disagree on the red hot bolts thing. But u make valid points. Iirc when he absorbed ultrons intelligence in elseworlds he killed the avengers
