[net.comics] Who are the most powerful beings in Marvel

dub@pur-phy.UUCP (Dwight) (09/25/84)

	Hello Again;
		After reading some ancient back issues of the
	X-men and Fantastic Four, I came up with the question of who is
	the most powerful being and ,have eliminated many, have a few.
	See if you agree with me!
		The first to come to mind was Galactus, who has roamed
	the universe since 300 plus years after time began.  He has
	the power cosmic, and has demonstrated it on many occasions.
		Barring the Celestials - Elders Of The Universe -
	Greek Gods, who does that leave?
	1) Galactus        2) The Watchers  3) Phoenix    4) Sphinx
	5) The planet Ego  6) Odin          7) Thor       8) Hercules
	9) The Superior Being   10) High Evolutionary
		That seems to be the lot, and for some strange reason, with
	the exception of the Superior Being, all have come in contact with
	Galactus.
		And to make sure that references are applied to each, in
	the case of meetings with Galactus, I will name them below.
	The Watchers [Supervillian #1, the Origins of Galactus]
	Phoenix [What If #17: Phoenix had not died?]
	Sphinx [Fantastic Four "210-213]
	Planet Ego [Thor #225-228]
	Odin [Fantastic Four #262]
	Thor [Thor #160-162, 168-169]
	Hercules [Thor #225-228]
	High Evolutionary [Fantastic Four #174-174, I think]

		So send flames and nova blasts.  I love 'em!

p.s.    Now of course, I know there must be other powerful
	beings in the Marvel Universe besides these ten, so let's hear 'em.
