His best OFFENSIVE feats are what exactly? Extinguishing a couple thousand souls in Beijing? Stalemating a weakened Michael?
On the other hand, I don't know what exactly Scathan can do to Lucy. The guy has tanked a multi-verse creating blast, as well as almost everything the Basanos threw at him.
My guess is since neither have the offensive capabilities to damage one another, they either stalemate, or Scathan muzzles Lucy and leaves him.
Scathan can do more than muzzle the over rated pretty boy. People forget that after Scathan owned the Protege with the muzzle, the LT asked Scathan to remove the muzzle and RESTRAIN the Protege as the LT passed judgement. Think about this. Scathan restrained a being that was more powerful than the LT and every other cosmic assembled at that trial. If the LT had asked Scathan to rip the Protege's head off, I believe 100% that he had the power to do it too.

Consider this:
Scathans best feat is capturing and holding a person...
Who at the peak of his power never defeated anyone
Or defended himself against anyone.
And the statement that protege was equal to the one above all... Must be hyperbole or maybe an error in judgment... Because being above everything and getting stopped by scatham implies he wasn't.
