Ok Mr. M, I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I don't think that Galactus was at FULL power during the couple seconds after he absorbed his 'World Ship' during the Secret Wars. Think about it, the Beyonder's recton established that Eternity was more powerful than the Beyonder, right? And at full power, Galactus=Eternity, right? Well Doom(with all that power from Galactus) got his ass kicked by the Beyonder. So it seems logical that at full power, Galactus would be even MORE powerful than he was for the couple of seconds in the Secret War. Now I'm sure that instance was the CLOSEST we've seen of him being at full power, but given all the evidence, I doubt that he was ACTUALLY at full power.

You forgot one little detail my good friend,
the Retcon did not exist when the feat was performed, it wasn't even thought of.
Initially, everything the Beyonder did in his PRE retcon era, was legit, as you know that's why threads with the title PRE-Retcon Beyonder versus "whoever" exist.
Between May 1984 and November 1986, Beyonder was exactly what we all thought, the Retcon issue came out and his history was changed.
Galactus's Ship has perhaps the greatest Energy Stores in the Universe, and the bottom line is, Doom became one with the Universe On Panel.
So I can't take into consideration the ret-con, because that was monkey wrenched into Beyonder's History YEARS After Secret Wars the First series.
Oh, I'm not trying to downplay the amount of power Doom had, or say that full power Galactus DOESN'T=Eternity. I'm pointing out that the recton inadvertently rectoned Galactus, because now it's been established that the level of power Doom absorbed COULDN'T have been Galactus's max, because it was insufficient for the task of taking down the Beyonder. It may have been CLOSE to his max, but the recton raised the bar so to speak. Captain Mar-Vell was in a sense 'One with the Universe' because of his universal omniscience, but that hardly makes him equal to Eternity.
I could understand ignoring the incident, if there were ABSOLUTELY no way to explain it, but there is...Galactus was nearly at full power but not quite. Which is why Doom lost.

Beyonder was more powerful than the Multi-verse millions of times over,
How was Eternity (FP Galactus) going to defeat him?
Your still mentioning the ret-con but it had NOTHING to do with these characters at the time.
The Ret-con was FORCED into the Beyonder's History YEARS AFTER Secret Wars the First seires. even Years after the Second series.
Beyonder was ret-conned in 1990. NOT Galactus.
That's why the Beyonder ret-con is a stupid one that should have been left alone.
Even in the issue he was Retconned, FF#319, in 1990, had Beyonder as a Universe, not as powerful as Eternity but a Universe nontheless.
Cosmic Cubes (like Kubik) supposedly are pocket universe at best, yet we have a "Half Cosmic Cube" made out of a Universe and Kubik comes along and Warps that entire Universe into a sphere the size of his hand.
SO I guess they must of Retconned that too, because Kosmos (Owen Reece and the Beyonder) was Kubik's equal.
Then Kosmos separates from Owen but stays with the essence of the Beyonder inside.
Then another Retcon, we Now learn that Beyonder's Essence can collapse the Multi-verse, so go figure.
Kosmos takes on Mortal Form as the Maker, Now another retcon, the Once Universe turned into a Half Cosmic Cube that became Kosmos that if dies folds the Multi-verse has become Mortal with the power to implode the Universe but is insane and vulnerable in it's Mortal Form.
The Maker can still collapse Reality if it were to die, Thanos knows this and puts the Maker in a catatonic state, the essence of the Beyonder trapped safely inside.
ANd that's it for now.
I'ma my cousins house so I don't have my scans, but by the way Marvel being one with the Universe and Doom controlling ALL Reality of the Universe are two completely different things.
Doom wasn't only ONE with the Universe, he was showing Molecule Man the Fabric of Reality on like another Plane of existence it seemed.
The scans are some pages back, read them and see that Doom was Eternity basically, or was able to do whatever he wished with the Universe.

Hey, I know that rectons often cause problems, and are generally a BAD idea. And I know that no one MEANT to recton Galactus(that's why I said it happened inadvertantly), but the Beyonder's recton DID(even if it was by accident).

I hear that,
Galactus is meant to be Eternity though, many times he has referred to his next step in evolution to be a Universe. Last Planet Standing, though non canon, was solely based on that concept.
There were other factors that made it non canon but the Galactus idea of him becoming iether the next Eternity or an Eternity all his own has been metioned in the past ample times.
Anyways PM me, on further ideas involving this issue.
The Answers I seek are most certainly not there. On page two, you state that Galactus consuming the Worldship would make him equal to eternity, as FP Galactus. That's what I'm contesting. How did you arrive at that conclusion?
"Of all the mighty in the Universe, You are the mightiest, SAVE for DOOM" (actually Molecule Man was more powerful than Eternity, but he didn't know it yet.)
"What could Beyonder give me that is not already within my power"?

Roma begins to have a vision, Jaspers was not supposed to be part of this Game she thinks, but Merlin set it up like that (later we learn he's training her for her future position as Omniversal Guardian), and if a Multi-verse has to DIE in order to prepare her properly, so be it.
