Magus with the incomplete IG was existing simultaneously across universeS.
Warlock faced down the LT in the Dimension of Manifestations, which is located outside all space-time.
Thanos's psychic wave of destruction, from 616,
reached the Beyond Realm. (located outside/beyond the Multiverse)
Loki nearly assembled the IG in Rune's Multiverse. (an entirely different Multiverse)
Instead, Nemesis was formed. Therefore IG power was functional.
-----------------------------------------------------------
But, that aside, (and I have the scanned proof if needed regarding the above claims)
how can anyone think classic IG as being "universal"
when even incomplete Magus performed multi-universal feats from way beyond 616? confused69
In fact, as I stated earlier, Magus never lingered in 616, he entered 616 for a second to kidnap Warlock,
he immediately returned to his reality over 100 universeS away from 616.
meh, ... the immediate proof on this one cause it's bad ass.
incomplete IG merged the 616 universe and a duplicate 616 universe from OVER 100 universeS away from 616.
============================
First: ... Magus was in another Universe and no where near 616.
Second: ... This Universe Magus was in was MANY DimensionS (universeS) away from 616.
(at-least over 100)
Third: ... The Dimensional Corridor is an infinite Nexus of Realities
also known as the "CrossRoads" or the "CrossRoads of Infinity"
which leads to other UniverseS. (Timelines/Alternates/Diverged/Parallel)

When Galactus/Heroes went looking for Magus' "Relay Transmitters"
Starlin tells us the location of the "RTs" is:
"In a Reality many steps removed from our own."
+++++++++++
Indeed ... about 100 UniverseS or so away:

"... we're talking about a Dimension some hundred or so levels over."
---------------------------------------------------
When Dr Doom and Kang reached the "Relay Transmitters" we learn:
"Our true goal lays farther down the Dimensional Corridor."
The "true goal" Kang is referring to is ... reaching Magus' stronghold/universe!
... and these "Relay Transmitters" are already 100 UniverseS or so away from 616!
---------------------------------------------------
Magus' Stronghold in relation to the universe containing the Relay Transmitters was still:
"In a control room several Realities away."

Magus' Stronghold was ...

"In a Far-Off Dimension, many Planes removed from our own Actuality"
---------------------------------------------------
The Dimensional Corridor is another term for the Cross-Roads of infinity,
a Nexus that leads to other Actualities/UniverseS/Dimensions:
http://s3d4.turboimagehost.com/t/15952038_7.jpg
"The Magus travelled far down the Dimensional Corridor."
---------------------------------------------------
Dr Doom and Kang also travelled the Nexus, finally enter the Magus's Universe:
"Breaking through to the desired Reality"
---------------------------------------------------
Here the dialogue is clear ...
Galactus and the heroes are located in the Universe with the "Relay Transmitters,"
they can't get data from the 616 Universe.

"Dimensional Rifts interfering with scans back to our Reality."
"Thor, I would have you journey back to our Actuality."
"The defense of our Universe requires this data."
"You'll be transported back to this Dimension once data is acquired."
