Tiamut (Before he was buried on Earth)
Exitar (same version that fought the watchers)
The Entire Celestial 4th Host
the 4 Alternate Universe "Mad Celestials"
The One Above All (Celestial)
The Red Celestial
The Blue Celestial
So Death is more powerful than 18 Celestials? Several of which are more powerful than multiple "regular Celestials"? I've heard each Celestial could create and destroy universes, I'm surprised everyone is giving Death the win.
OK...everyone was saying Death destroyed the cancerverse in another thread. Well I just re-read it and Thanos destroyed it by destroying the avatar of life (a plot based win to be sure). He even says "I destroyed a universe for you" to death. So I don't think death is as powerful as people were claiming.
Even if you attempt to take that feat away from Her (which makes no sense since she ANNIHILATED even the Cancerverse forces that were in 616 reality AND she sealed the Fault), she still has that Avengers Annual issue where Grandmaster (using her power), created 5 Null Life bombs, each capable of destroying 1/5 of the universe. One of the bombs went off and 1/5 of the universe was destroyed instantly.
Death slaughters them unless Scathan is involved, then she's getting stomped.

That entire storyline was a hot mess. I also recall on Comicvine, a user pointed out that the only reason they were capable of doing that "Necropsy" ritual in the Cancerverse, was because that Universe had some odd properties about it that allowed the Old Ones to pull that ritual off.

I thought Death killed the Avatar of Life, not Thanos. I could be wrong, I'll have to go find the issue. But like I said, it's more like Death destroyed the Cancerverse based on plot than outright power.
Death has been killed on several occasions, I doubt she's powerful enough to take out several Celestials.
Her role in the TI is what's built up the current hype, I think.
And that was merely a technicality, since the Cancerverse was full of undying creatures - life having poisoned everything after killing off Death. Death sent Thanos in, to open up some channel to her, then she emerged and rebooted the death process...
If that universe's Death wasn't killed, they wouldn't have been vulnerable to her.
TI had nothing to do with it, she was a confirmed universe buster back when Grandmaster was playing games with her power.
Regarding the TI nonsense, there was something up with that universe even before the MAOs did their Necropsy Ritual that exiled Death : http://i38.tinypic.com/ff1yk8.jpg
If that universes Death wasn't "killed" they couldn't even ENTER the damn universe. Once she re-entered it, she absolutely WRECKED them, even the ones in 616 reality couldn't escape her power, then she sealed the Fault. There's no way in hell to lowball this feat/fight.
There were more scans on Comicvine but I can't find them now.
