^^ Assuming this is classic IG:
LT came not only with the TOAA's "help" (oaa's authority)
but even as a representative of TOAA"s in-universe power ...
... and still the LT was unsure if he could beat Warlock. 👆
Indeed/in fact, it was never concluded who would actually win in that scenario.
After that scene, in a later issue, Warlock literally said:
'LT was the servant, of the ONE above the IG.' 🙂
