Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the GEB not 1 aspect of the Presence? The Living Tribunal works on behalf of TOAA and is as powerful as he needs to be.
You are wrong. The GEB is the complete and total opposite of the light. And the LT is not as powerful as he needs to be. He wasn't powerful enough to kill korvak. Nor was he powerful enough to pwn an alternate reed richards. The Lt also wasn't powerful enough to beat protoge. And he couldn't even fix a universal flaw. He isn't supreme.
That means jack. Just because there is no one more powerful than he doesn't mean he is supreme. Why? becuz thanos got the heart and become more powerful. So we know one can become more powerful. And protoge managed to be as powerful as the lt. While scathan managed to beat someone with the lt's powers. The lt is NOT supreme.
While I'm a firm believer in on panel feats, I will not deny the Protege saga was a major-PISfest.
Thanos was willed to merge with the heart by TOAA himself. The heart is TOAA's power. Of course it would be able to stomp the LT. TOAA is obviously a greater level of infinity than the LT is.
And yet the itself couldn't fix the universal flaw. it had to destroy everything and remake everything. thus the heart was not Supreme either. It was just more powerful than the LT.
1. Lets stop with the reference to What If #31. Been debated at length by the wonderful Mr. M and company. Fact. LT>Death>Korvac.
In regards to the MC2 Universe, not even canon. Living Tribunal was neither hurt nor killed as he later showed up in She Hulk willing to replace Earth
2. Starlin's nonsense about TOAA needed Thanos to fix a flaw. Haha. No wonder Starlin doesn't write for Marvel. And the HOTI no longer exists
3. Scathan and LT defeated Protege
4. Astner made great points in his Presence Disrespect Thread. Its a shame it was closed
The Beast wins in a stomp, LT and Scathan are not on Gods level you know that Guy . And Astners disrespect thread should have never been started in the first place as its against the rules and he made it to be disrespectful to DC anyone can see that, and he doesn't understand the story very well and its after effects. Who would in there right mind make a disrespect thread for TOAA?? silly
