Multiversal beings vs Multidimensional beings?

Which is more powerful?

dunno what's the difference here
we are not quantum physics major, we go by individual characters feats

You mean like beings who can operate on a multiversal scale vs beings who only have one dude like Shuma Gorath (pretty sure he's a unique being anyway) and they travel to different universes?

Or am I misunderstanding?

I'm going with multiversal.

Multidimensional strikes me more as being able to move between dimensions, but not necessarily having great power beyond that. Also, they generally reside in one dimension or another, and they themselves may even be comprised of more than 3 spatial dimensions.

Multiversal impresses as, not only able to move between dimensions, but also having vast influence in all those dimensions (thus innately being multidimensional), perhaps even having a multiversal presence.

Essentially, multidimensionality is a subset of multiversality.

EDIT: Just saw OP's def of multidimensional. I'm still going with multiversal.

In DC at least, multidimensional beings are more powerful than multiversal ones. By far.

Both tend to be boring to debate.

I'm almost ignorant about this, but from these boards I get the impression time and time again that dimensional beings like imps etc are usually ranked way up there when things are being ordered.

For what its worth.

Maybe someone who knows what they are talking about could give a quick example of a really top-end example of each?

Can you provide an example of one type of both?

Mxy would be considered both Multiversal and Multidimensional. His dimension is the 5th dimension.

A multidimensional being who is not a multiversal being would be someone like Eclipso who has his own dimension within one universe.

For some reason, I can't think of multiversal being who isn't multidimensional. Usually, if a being can affect multiple universes, they can also enter multiple dimensions. IE: Superman Prime (GA)

I'd have to go with Vishanti on this for fisrt round like Dr. Doom beat the Beyonders with magic. So Multidimensional for round 1 but in round 2 only the Vishanti with magic they learn to increase infinitely.

Flip side, Mxy is a multidimensional being from the 5th dimension(which is outside the multiverse entirely.) He can move freely through Hypertime itself, and control reality at ANY level. Not only can he gesturely manipulate the 3D multiverse, but he can also manipulate ALL universes and ALL dimensions, whimsically:

IOW, his power transcends the multiverse all together. This is not the case with a being who is 'just' multiversal.

Make sense?

For example, the original Monitor(ala COIE) was a bonafide multiversal entity. He was linked to, and powered by, all positive matter universes in the mainstream/3D multiverse. That said, his power was also limited to the 3D multiverse -- without it, he was effectively powerless.

You hit the nail on the head, sir. 🙂
