My friend says the anybody w/ the infinity gauntlet, I say The living Tribunal.

My argument is that the tribunal once stopped Adam Warlock(w/ Infinity Gauntlet) and Eternity from fighting once.

I'm a ways out of the comic-collecting thing anymore, but I'd have to side with you. The Tribunal, Eternity, Death... those powers transcend a mortal with the Gauntlet.

I never read that comic, but it was my understanding that the Gauntlet was all-powerful. Thanos certainly schooled Death and Eternity in that saga, with it.

Speedball

Eternity called the Living Tribunal his only peer. Thanos (with the infinity gauntlet) was trying to become the new Eternity. The Living Tribunal was the only other galactic entity that could influence the outcome of the Eternity/Thanos conflict but abstained because he saw the struggle as the natural order of things (survival of the fittest).
So, It seems that these three are equals. If I had to pick one I'd go with the Living Tribunal because he represents more than any multiverse or reality, he represents the ability to be.

I would have to say that the Plot Device is the most powerful cosmic entity in any comic universe.

but the living tribunal wont do anything unless a proper hearing is in place to act. so with his lesser peers beaten in battle he cannot/wont do anything. the tribunal has the most "power" but wont use it, so next up would be eternety while merged with his sister infinity with the exception of the whole gauntlet mess.

then again there is that new egyptian god form marvels "the end" who is supposed to kill the whole marvel universe so maybe its him.

Now you've done it! You've gone and brought up The End! I am soooo disgusted with that project! Some of you may not know this, but the 'End' project actually started last August with Hulk: The End, and it was soooo cooool! The idea was to tell the tale of each of Marvel's star characters, one each month. After The Hulk, Marvel announced that they had a new idea for the series that was even better. Now we get this sorry piece of garbage Marvel: The End. The entire Marvel Universe is about to be wiped out by some guy we've never heard of! How lame is that?

hey i read the firrst issue and its pretty cool. I mean you read comics for long and realize these end of the worlds things come around every year.
but THIS IS JIM STARLIN'S RETURN TO MARVEL! He is such a great writer that i cant judge the series yet by one issue.



Oh and isn't it cool where thanos says the only human he respects and keeps constantly under surveillance is DR. DOOM.

Love that doom

The End isn't all bad, it's just bad compared to the original idea. The original idea was excellent. In Hulk: The End, every last human on earth has been wiped out by nuclear war but one- Bruce Banner/Hulk. He's an old man, wandering the wasteland of Earth. Every once in a while, swarms of mutant cockroach come and attack him. He turns into the Hulk, and gets eaten nearly to death anyway. Since the Hulk can regenerate, he survives. An alien shows up as a representative of the various species of the world. He is there to confirm the death of the human race. The Kree and the Skrull have declared peace in order to celebrate our destruction! The alien leaves behind a robot to record the death of Banner so that there can be no doubt about the end of the humans. If you manage to find a copy, pick it up!

In the current The End, I liked the bit with Spidey and Daredevil checking out the dead bodies of the Avengers and the FF. It was a cool scene. The problem I have with this new version is that it so casually kills our favorite characters. The X-Men, Avengers, and FF never even knew what hit them. There was no battle. One second they're alive, the next they're dead. Nothing. Everyone has to die sooner or later, and these are the sorts of characters who want their deaths to make a difference. I want it to as well. In this story, their deaths are totally without purpose or meaning. They never stood a chance.

aren't the celestials the most perful living comsic characters. they don't speak in front of any lesser beings. No ones heard then speak yet right?

i agree it was quick but if you read J starlin before, he always does cosmic scope stuff. so i suppose the heroes dying was a plot device just to move the story along

I just hope Thanos isnt turned into a good guy


and the hulk end story sounds cool. kinda like the maestro story arc

the beyonder is by far the most powerful cosmic entity in the marvel universe.

The Celestials are a star-faring race of humanoid aliens who possess untold cosmic power. Standing two thousand feet tall, the Celestials are clad in full body armor. No Earth being has ever seen what they look like beneath their armor or knows their origin.

There have only been indications of the full scope of the Celestials' power. Each member of the Fourth Host withstood a full frontal attack by the collective power of the Eternals and the Asgardians. Arishem has been shown to have sufficient power to permanently seal dimensional portals to the godly realms.

If Eternity chose to...could he stop to have reality and make the Living Tribunal non-existant?
