TEEEEEEXT WALLLLLLLLL!
Yep they do vary in power. Some have zero showings other then being tall. But their meant to all be peers. They actually hate each other and would cancel each other out without Somon in control.
But to be fair most of their “defeats” were not even the real beasts but avatars they created. They also have a time constraint where they can’t access their full power.
They do have a lot of great showings though. For example Tanaraq powered the wrecking crew to be planet busters. Oeming wrote it and compared tanraq to the level of Surtur. Still no clue why or how he commanded surturs army. Tanaraq also with just a stare took out talisman who was written as a rival to strange
Ranaq had weird abilities. For example he can control and manipulate even food to where "its replicating itself at an impossible rate, it must be functioning as a dimensional interface, siphoning energy from the spirit plane and instantly converting that energy into ectoplasmic matter" and if unchecked could become two-directional, draining from the plant entirely. So he made eggs threaten the life of the plant
Mauvais who used to battle the Ancient One and who even Strange was terrified of him and said he was unsure he could beat. All That happened was before mauvis upgrade...but even after his upgrade he even knew he was nothing to the Beasts and was scared for his life just coming face to face with them. Shaman knows anything he could do would merely be stopgaps at best against the beasts
I also put them as Elder God level as that’s what they have been called too. Their older then the earth itself and are similar to abstracts,
-“The Great Beasts come from a time long before good or evil, for that matter, right or wrong. They're hellstorms, nothing more or less--living breathing tornadoes of mystical energy--consuming everything in their path without restraint or remorse.”
-“The Great Beasts were embodiments of death on Earth when it was first commencing to come alive. It was stated "the Great Beasts rule over death and decay, and can implore death and decay as a weapon against mankind".
