Good matchup. 👆I would probably be inclined to side with God Emperor Doom, given that he stomped an IG-wielder with a fair amount of ease once he got serious... And even a Hickman-era IG makes its wielder 'God' within their native universe. /shrug
Doom did seem more powerful once he got serious.
Although the same IG, Hickmans version didn't seem as potent as other versions (Stralin's etc)
Hickman-era IGs certainly do not have the scope of power the classic IGs did(classic Gauntlets operated multi-universally.) However, I do believe Hickman-era IGs have the same depth of power within their native universe(ie. they still made their user 'all-powerful' and such.) In fact, Hickman actually gave IGs in general some of its best and most quantifiable feats ever -- referring to the universal destruction/creation feats from F4. 👆

Hickman's IGs can't be "all-powerful" cause it was defeated via power without stipulations.
So yeah...

The LT that was defeated by the Beyonders is the LT that was nearly erased by the Protege,
the LT that couldn't outright erase Korvac,
the LT who's power was in-affective vs Nebulos
the LT who needed help to off an alternate Galactus ...
It was NOT the LT who came as a representative of TOAA's power vs the IG,
NOT the LT who held TWO comic book lines in one hand shaping them both.
btw. Classic IG violated the Beyond Realm in case you forgot. In fact, it's the only thing to ever do so.
So yeah, Starln's IG is on another level compared to Hickman's.
Heck, even as recent as "Revelation" ... Starlin had his IG traversing countless universeS, working just fine,
and that was only a fragmented avatar of its power lol.

Since I don't know half as much about this as this nerd above me, I agree because he makes sense.
