Tyrant said that "As I derive my strength from the ambient life force which binds this universe together, every time you feed upon a world, gleaning it's Bio-spheric energies, I am thusly weakened".

How weakened were they? Obviously not enough to hamper their spirits, because in the book that I read, they seemed to be confident in their ability to defeat Tyrant. To bring it up, and then attempt to solidly capitalize on it is pretty phucking slimy Carver.

how come you're so sure galactus was well above a skyfather's level when he faced tyrant?

Not only that, Galactus wanted to fight Tyrant where Galactus had the homefield advantage and even tells Morg this.To recap :
Galactus feared/respected Tyrant's power (as Tyrant did Galactus)
Galactus fed on a planet that made him feel more powerful than he had in ages
Galactus wanted to fight Tyrant in a place where Galactus had the advantage"DP" Tyrant wasn't inferior to a FED Galactus. He was his peer (at a minimum).
1. "fed" galactus is a subjective term.
2. he also fed on one planet before battling odin which would indicate that "one" planet gets him to equal/slightly above skyfather because, as i said, odin did manage a flash ko and still still wasn't out of the fight entirely as evinced by the showing up of the destroyer.
3. brings me back to my original point--how are you so sure galactus was well above a skyfather?
if you asked me whether the galactus who faced off against the mad celetstials was well above, i'd agree. he had what? 4 planets? ONE planet? even if it was a particularly nourishing planet? not buying it puts him well above skyfather at all. the planet he had before he faced odin may well have put him at the same level he was at when he faced tyrant. impossible to say, but silly to assume it wasn't as beneficial.
basically--stop making all or nothing statements, and stop expressing opinion as fact. 👆

I didn't write the story. Take it up with Marz and Lackey.
he fed on one planet. agreed.
he feared tyrant? meh. i always figured he didn't want the fight because as he said it was 'his child'. we already know galactus was able to beat him from their earlier encounter.
wanted to fight him at home? lol so? he didn't really gain any advantage at all unless you can prove he gained something? he likely didn't want to fall into any traps or give tyrant the chance to draw on other, amping powers. but it's open for interpretation WHY he wanted to face tyrant where he did. useless as the thought was.
you're saying the planet he fed on was better for him than the odin planet. impossible to say since the odin fight happened what, 15 or so years later? lol
one planet vs tyrant. one planet vs odin. still not seeing why we should consider the g that fought tyrant to be well above skyfather..... slightly above? maybe....

Everythng isn't about strength Abhi. Other powers come into play making characters more potent. Galactus was well above the Sky Father tier in his battle with Tyrant, and yes Tyrant was created to be Galactus' equal which was written on panel.
How was Galactus above skyfather level there?
Thanos took on a team of Avengers that was filled with Herald level characters. Thanos did lose but he was also in a weakened state.
Huh?
Being momentarily pinned does not mean you have lost. If that were the case, I'm going to start pulling that card everytime Superman, Orion, Hulk and any other character finds themselves having to struggle to free themselves. This was Galctus after all not Willie Lumpkin. Get
it? Got it? Good.
But it means Galactus was overpowering Tyrant.

full power tyrant was capable of destroy galaxies as a side effect of his fight
depowered tyrant should never be used as a measuring stick for himself at full power
and even depowered he was above herald level characters by a mile
Originally posted by h1a8He crushes Gladiator with ease. Gladiator matched Tyrants eye beam for mere seconds at best, once Tyrant poured on the power and pressed the attack he stomped Gladiator.

Also Tyrant was getting amped by Galactus.
It's like attacking Superman with sunlight.
not sure he was draining from galactus directly though. in any event the best we can say based on later evidence is that both were right around skyfather levels. not sure why we need to make more than that. if we assume tyrant was getting extra power against galactus than he wasn't even at that level necessarily though i'd still say he was at least low level sjyfather. /shrug
