Fodder as most of the droids may be, it would still take a tremendous amount of time for a single character to destroy quintillions of them... Especially if they were intelligently spaced all across the galaxy.
^ Droid Control Ships were used early on in the war to remotely coordinate the droid armies and whatnot -- back then, destroying one of these Control Ships would effectively neutralize a nearby droid army(as we saw during TPM.) But the Separatists soon recognized this inherent weakness, and began programming the droids independently.
And given the 'peak' stip here, I'm assuming the Control Ships wouldn't be in play, and the army would all have independent programming.

whered the quintillions figure come from galan because thats insane. if youre just talking about the sheer numbers i dont think theres ever been a threat like that immense.
That said, the number of droids in the Separatist army was drastically reduced(and rightfully so) in current canon. But again, OP specifies 'peak', so... /shrug
Uhm Guys, the Shi'ar empire alone had 8 quadrillion prisoners in their jails. Not to mention 100+ artificial suns and 40 million artificial worlds. And this was just their prison colony which spans an entire galaxy : (please log in to view the image)
Another neophyte Starbrand was casually busting planets : (please log in to view the image)
That droid army will be decimated, it will just take time.

Even quadrillions is absolutely nothing compared to quintillions. I do not think there has ever been a singular invasion force nearly that vast in Marvel.
And as I mentioned on the last page, even if the Separatists split up their collective force into squadrons of 1 billion droids each, they could still attack billionS of worlds simultaneously. So even IF it were in character for Starbrand to go around whimsically destroying planets, it would still take him a LONG f*cking time to destroy billionS of worlds/eradicate the droids.
I have no doubt that Marvel would eventually win... But how long it would take them is the bigger question.

I don't know. I think the number of droids is being undersold here...
The guidebook states "quiltillionS", so lets just assume the droid army is capped at 2 quintillion.
Using the tactic I mentioned above, where the Separatists split their collective force into squadrons of 1 billion droids each, they could still attack 2 BILLION worlds simultaneously. So for Marvel to destroy them all in 3 years time means they would need to 'clear' over 666 MILLION planets per year... Or over 1.8 MILLION planets PER DAY. That still seems like an unrealistic undertaking in my opinion... Even with all of Marvel's heralds on the job.
The more likely option is that one of Marvel's 'big brains'(like Reed or Tony) creates some sort of plot-device tech that shuts all of them down simultaneously... It's a bit of a cop-out, but I don't see any other option, tbh. /shrug

What about someone like Magneto? Wouldn't he be able to wreck much of the army by himself. Saw in one of the RTs that he can also manipulate metal across galactic distances and not just locally.
