That means nothing to the Starbrand. It functions across multiverses. In fact, it's not EVEN from 616s native multiverse. It's from the New Universe multiverse. In the New Universe there were no Watchers, no Quantum Zone, no one and nothing that Quasar could have contacted to help him (because his Quantum Bands were running out of power since there was no Quantum Zone).
Once the Starbrand is on you, it's on you. Unless you willing let go of it to another person. So BFRing the wielder or the tattoo wouldn't work.
The LT himself didn't want to face down against the Starbrand and instead chose to fight through a 'champion' because the ensuing battle would wreck the MULTIVERSE more than just allowing Ereshkigal to lord over it.
I'm going with the Starbrand or split vs the IG.

I don't know Mr. M. The very fact that he couldn't undo her mucking with cosmic balance AND the fact that he threatened to enlist the mighty of the multiverse to take her down leads me to believe he wasn't gonna win that fight. But we'll agree to disagree I guess.
Yup, Spawn was there and some DC characters too (I think).

? ... You seriously think that Erish ...
was going to (or possibly) defeat the LT
because in a Quasar book the writer is forced to implement the star of the comic?
Quasar has to be the selling ticket since it's his book.
So of course the writer is not going to have the LT stomp Erish,
and instead make it seem as though Quasar is responsible for her defeat.
Come on Zop,
this is the inevitable failure of all books involving heroes and Cosmic scopes.
The LT had just clearly stated that Erish
(Starbrand + merged with the Guardians + withIN the Nexus)
was a potential peer to the Abstracts, but NOT himself.
Also,
Erishkigal didn't do a damn thing that warrants such high-esteem.
Silly cat (with Starbrand) had to expend vast amounts of energy
just to open a Dimensional portal.
No Cosmic Awareness of any kind at any level.
Couldn't destroy a Reality, or anything close to that,
and without the Guardian amp plus the location of the Nexus,
biatch wasn't even registered by the LT.
In fact, outside of the Nexus & no Guardian amp,
Erishkigal may be at herald level.
As far as she "mucking up the balance" ... yea, she didn't even have
to do anything special to do that, just exert some of her energy
which was enough to un-balance Order & Chaos.
You know why?
It's not that Erishkigal/Starbrand was powerful enough to do so,
ANYONE that enters the Prime Multiverse from another Multiverse
is capable of an imbalance for the reasons below,
and evidently the LT is not allowed to deal with these things personally. (pis)
The Prime Multiverse has a specific amount of power contained in
its CLOSED system, (LT and everyone else that belongs to it)
any amount of extra energy that enters this closed system (Prime Multiverse)
causes an imbalance.
This is why Erish, when she let off some energy (withIN the Nexus)
cause Chaos to grow, it's not like she was individually/particularly re-arranging Chaos.
This is the similar case with Rune. It was made clear that while the
LT had the power to stomp Rune/IG, he could not, due to cosmic protocol. Basically,
he's from another Multiverse so for retarded reasons I have to stand down. (pis)
