Mags would be a great asset here, but even he can only do so much. Again, it comes down to sheer numbers:
Bear in mind that if you go with the tactic I mentioned above, it means that Marvel would have to clear 75,000 planets PER HOUR, or over 1,200 planets PER MINUTE... For 3 years straight... In order to eradicate all of the droids.
There's no way that's happening, imo. Like I said before: they'd likely have to introduce some sort of plot-device tech that eliminates the droid army in one fell swoop.

Would pretty much have to be something like that, imo. Quintillions of droids(and ALL of their accompanying weapons/ships) is waaaay too much for Marvel Heralds to handle individually.
Yup. How, in the Star Wars universe, would anyone be capable of creating a quintillion ANYTHING sans high level reality warping? Imagine all the material and energy it would take.
But back on the topic, a high herald (Black Bolt) amping a T-bomb ripped a hole in space/time many PARSECS across. 1 Parsec = 3.26 light years. That would wipe out the majority if not all the droid army. RIP.

Not only that, but it's logistically impossible as well. Producing quintillions of droids would require...I dunno...Quadrillions of droid production factories scattered across the galaxy. Then you have to think about the mass production of accompanying battleships and carriers to get all of those droids from A-to-B, which would require...I dunno...Trillions of shipyards and whatnot.
And the CIS supposedly accomplished all of that over the course of the Clone Wars(so just 3 years, lol)..? Also, where'd they'd get the funds to afford all of that(the CIS did not have infinite money, lol)..? Also, how could the Republic have possibly stood against those kind of forces, when they only had a scant 1.2 million clone troopers ready for battle at the onset of the war, lol?
well in the mcu, "trillions" were killed when thanos snapped. so if we use that figure then we are possibly talking about thousands of universes worth of droids here
TBH, I actually think quintillions droids makes sense due to the battlefield is the entire galaxy.
The Milky Way contains between 100 and 400 billion stars and at least that many planets. And given the fact our Earth has like 8 billion people, then a battlefield across an entire galaxy should require some astronomical big numbers
Quintillions is still WAY too much, especially if the entire universe only numbers in the trillions -- a galactic invasion force that vastly outnumbers the rest of the universe is a bit over the top, lol. Billions would have been more fitting(and much easier to wrap your head around), imo.
That said, it was a huge misstep for GL to only give the "Grand Army of the Republic" a mere 1.2 million troops at the onset. You can tell he put zero thought into that one.
well they had technically been building the droid army since phantom menace right? so that's like a decade of building before clone wars started. it's more realistic that way.
The CIS didn't begin to really grow its numbers until right before the Clone Wars started, because that's when Palpatine finally decided to make his move. Had Palpatine tried to aggressively expand the CIS army beforehand, it would have undoubtedly drawn the attention of the Jedi and potentially ruined his plans.
Anyway, Dooku stated that his droid army outnumbered the Republic's forces 100-to-1 right after the war first started. And since we know the Republic canonically had 1.2m clones at the onset, it means the CIS had ~120m droids initially.
So yeah... IF their numbers skyrocketed from the millions to the quintillions, it would've happened during the war itself(so in just 3 years, lol.) Even in the world of fiction that's... Quite a stretch.
Just Marvel heralds against quintillions of droids? It's hard for me to imagine them winning in a direct battle, tbh. I can't stress how unbelievably immense "quintillions" actually is.
The better play would be to take the primary CIS leadership out of the equation -- so remove guys like Dooku, Grievous, Asajj, Vos, the Separatist Council, Admiral Trench, Super Tactical Droids, etc. etc. from play. Without them around to give all the other droids their primary orders/strategies, the army as a whole would likely begin to crumble. You might even be able to mindf*ck a few of them into sending out a signal/directive that decommissions the army in its entirety(though I believe those orders would have to come from Sidious himself, and I'm not sure if he'd be included here..?) Either way, the primary CIS figureheads need to be removed in order for Marvel to have a realistic chance against those type of numbers, imo.
