Ganymede is far from useless. Hell, she can probably split with Wonder Woman. Her combat speed is above Diana's and as far as travel speed/bullrush speeds, she was able to keep pace with Surfer through space. Plus she's had millenia of martial arts training.

In cosmic powers #5 Tyrant tells morg "must i drain every vestige of energy from your body to teach you?".
Then in cosmic power #6 Thanos then asks "computer show the location of the contaiment device storing energy from the subject Morg"
Tyrant also gives Morg back his Power Cosmic in CP #5 to deal with the heroes. This is one of my posts from another thread:

As usual, Kris was probably initially correct with the quoted statement. I went back through some things, and found a lot of strong evidence to support that not only did the orb not contain Morg's Power Cosmic (as CelestialDemon pointed out), but it didn't contain any power whatsoever besides knowledge. Evidence for this is pretty conclusive. First off, the event of Thanos stealing Tyrant's orb is mentioned here:

Tyrant clearly has a lot of them...which Jakar and a few others steal. Take a look, because it seems like the same type of orb that Thanos stole:

That being said...its explicitly referred to as a 'globe of knowledge' by multiple people. Nothing regarding a power amp is mentioned:

And this interpretation fits in perfectly with what Thanos says afterwards when he's studying his own orb which he stole from Tyrant:

"I sought knowledge...because in knowledge there is power. From that knowledge arose a goal. And I have conquered that goal. Now I probe the spoils of my struggle...attempting to learn its secrets and gain more knowledge."
So...a reasonable argument could be made that Thanos took on Tyrant with his base power. And I think a lot of the textual evidence supports it.
Anywho...Team One every time, no sweat.
