I don't even know why what Uranos did was suddenly Skyfather plus tier, barring Legion (who they annoyingly never did show how he was defeated).
I mean, Xavier could probably give a million mutants a brain seizure on his own. Manifold could (and has) opened portals from the Sun - imagine if he did it on a large scale. The whole thing about the Montesi Formula and Dr Strange was that he was capable, had he the formula, of wiping out the entire vampire species in existence (so way more than a million).

They did.And it was less impressive than you think.
Legion got distracted because of his daddy issues (his one true weakness).
That's the part that Carvie boy didn't bother to post.
Legion of X #6.

I like how Flash getting the blade is the issue, not whether he can actually do it once he does so.
Relying on the Muramasa blade is so utterly superfluous, it's reductive.
It's like begging the question of how much more lethal is Flash if he were wearing adamantium knuckle-dusters?

I agree- but then, Carv is my audience, I need to dumb it down.

I read the Legion of X issue where they explored what happened off-panel when they fought and I still don't get it.
Legion was lending his power to Nightcrawler, who was also using his mind to store refugees, including those who didn't want to be saved (which further distracted Legion). Legion was also distracted watching Nightcrawler work.
Meanwhile, Legion and Uranos were duelling but doing so in the same way two chessmasters play out an entire match in their heads, or the old martial arts movie trope where two grandmasters fight each other without lifting a finger.
They didn't actually fight. Then Uranos saw Legion was distracted, was about to take advantage of this, then Legion was saved by Banshee.
Meanwhile, as you say, Uranos' machines were slaughtering mutants. I know it wasn't you who said this, or made this argument, but what he did wasn't all that impressive. Can we really believe that if Tony Stark or the Maker really put their mind to it, they couldn't create machines capable of doing the same?
I change my answer to Cyborg. He opens Boom tubes from the Sun over Earth's major cities or over Arakko, and just pours the sun onto the planet.
Even the resulting environmental chaos would be enough.

She boom tubes the sun into Cyborg.
