MM was impressive in terms of manipulating molecules, but in his last appearance he had none of the general reality altering feats Creed had. And Creed had full control over his own molecules, as evidenced by Sentry trying and failing to tear him apart.
using their careers as a whole instead of just creel's best vs one of mm's worst, owen would destroy him with a thought. besides, void operated at a unique level during siege
If MM's that powerful, I'd be more inclined to believe he jobbed to Void, then to believe Void is just that powerful (At the least, the Creel showing and the MM showing balance each other out.)
owen was only put in that story to make the void seem powerfull and he only used a tiny aspect of his power (matter manipulation), so yes, you could say they jobbed him to void
what do you mean? his inherent power is the energy from the beyond realm that he absorbed, the same energy that makes the cosmic cubes. he is a cube being
His body acted as a partial cosmic cube during his accident, giving him his own powers, and then eventually, he joined himself and the Beyonder together in a complete cube to gestate and eventually create Kosmos.
Except right whilst he was fusing himself and the Beyonder into a CC, he transfered a fraction of his power into Volcana without her knowing. So once he got ejected from the gestated Cosmic Cube, and was powerless, he was able to use the fraction of the power in Volcana (which alone had allowed her to subconciously perform feats beyond his initial organic matter limits) to fully restore himself with cosmic cube level powers, although he didn't know this at the time, and thought he was restricted to merely inorganic matter again. But then after practising for months he was back to his cube levels (him/Beyonder warping the multiverse, and statements from Kubik saying as much).
So yeah, his inherant power is cube power, there's no distinction between the two.
Anyway, in terms of this fight, the fact that Owen has on two occasions been able to take direct control of cosmic cube energy means he could very easily just drain Absorbing Man
