Beyonder was the all back in the '80s. Its funny there was no mention of TOAA back then. In a Dr Strange issue, Eternity tells him about God. Some felt Shooter abused his powers
TOAA is LT boss. I don't think he would allow LT to lose. IMO
Whether or not you agree with Shooter and the Beyonder, he was a supreme being akin to Thanos with the heart. Feats alone but Beyonder above Thanos with the heart. ::shrugs::
I don't have a response to that. I don't know why they needed Thanos or why they couldn't just do it themselves. Thanos is to Starlin what the Beyonder was to Shooter, Starlin obviously wanted Thanos to be God, even if it were for a short time.
With Shooter we saw that writers and editors live vicariously through characters. TOAA is the embodiment of the writer (Stan) and the artist (Jack). Shooter wanted the same thing with the Beyonder. He wasn't God, but he was supreme in the MU at the time. Starlin obviously wanted the same with Thanos during the IG affair and then again with the Heart.
That's my take on the whole thing. Neither character really made any sense. I'm not sure they were even suppose to.

LT FTW. He's second only to TOAA and TOAA would not let him lose to someone like the beyonder. TOAA took over Thanos or something like that in THE END to fix the flaw anyways so TOAA>>>>>Thanos>>LT>>Classic Beyonder
Classic beyonder was only everything outside of the marvel multiverse. There is now a marvel omniverse which would include the multiverse AND everything that the classic beyonder was. The LT sits over all of that. and he exist now in ALL multiverSES simultaneously. He didn't have that power then. He only was the judge over one multiverse.
I think LT would win. That book where Beyonder met with the abstracts LT looked to be potrade as a peer to the others where now he is know as the more powerful of the abstracts in the Marvel Universe.
