Does Chaos king came in part 3?
And there is also Abraxas.
I think this makes sense.A few things: With regards to the Queen of Nevers' exact position in the cosmological scale, I would actually like some input here, because at the moment, I am really torn. As a high-end, one could argue that she is above even the White-Hot Room and thus presently the most powerful being in the verse aside from The One Above All. An explanation of this is in the profile.
And for the matter, I don't think her being Eternity's lover actually disproves the idea that she is this high, particularly because the notion that they must be equal in standing largely comes from the scenes where they are shown interacting, like this one, which certainly gives the impression they are comparable. It's all really cute, but ultimately it should be kept in mind that all of this is metaphor: Eternity and the Queen of Nevers aren't two giants making out, and those scenes are, in-universe, just allegorical visualizations of the interaction between two concepts (Existence and Possibility), so they really don't prove she is his equal at all.
That said, in Silver Surfer Vol. 7 #13, The Never Queen actually is shown dying alongside the Seventh Cosmos, apparently because the death of the omniverse means that there is no longer a future, and therefore no possibilities, which seems to indicate that she is indeed being treated as Eternity's complement, rather than something above him.
I think this scene is really weird, though, because the same run states that the Queen of Nevers births possibilities, as such meaning that she, in some way, exists prior to them, so her being dependent on their existence is just bizarre. Furthermore, the Kabbalah-based cosmology that Al Ewing established in Defenders: Beyond has it so possibility ultimately antedates reality and emanates it into existence, to begin with, so that makes the Never Queen dying because of the Seventh Cosmos' reboot even weirder.
Granted, Reckoning War showed that there is apparently a Never-Queen living in Overspace, who seems to have the Universal Eternity as her lover, so it's plausible that the above could be explained by her having different versions of herself across different layers of reality, meaning then that the Never-Queen which the Silver Surfer saw dying wasn't the same as the Never-Queen who lives in the Sefirot. It isn't unprecedented, mind you, given that we're shown that Death has a higher version that resides in the White-Hot Room and stands in direct duality with the Phoenix, apart from the Lady Death that exists in the omniverse but still linked to her.
This makes sense too.As for the Molecule Man's profile... I have to say that I don't really like. It is, in fact, probably my least favorite thing ever, but further revisions to it don't belong on this thread, so I've kept it as close to its present state as possible, while trimming it down significantly because as it stands that thing is barely readable.
However, some abilities were particularly egregious, so I chose to remove them already. Existence Erasure and Mid-Godly level Healing come from intepreting this as meaning that Molecule Man can send people to Oblivion's realm, thus erasing them from all levels of existence, as well as bring them back from there.
This is pretty ridiculous, because it's just assuming that any usage of the word "oblivion" in-verse is talking about the guy, which is obviously really silly, and is a line of logic that'd lead to quite a few entities scaling above where they should be (There are a lot of times where the word "eternity" is used in reference to stuff above Eternity, for instance)
Next is Causality Manipulation, which comes from this, and honestly I don't even know where exactly the Causality Manipulate comes from, in this scene. The other justification comes from this, which is not only not Causality Manipulation but was also done by Owen after he absorbed the Beyonders, so it has no place in his base key. The same goes for a lot of the powers and scans on that tab, actually.
Law Manipulation comes from this and this, which are Physics Manipulation instead.
Conceptual Manipulation comes from his interactions with the Abstracts in Secret Wars II, which turned out to not be so trustworthy, as has already been established, so, it goes, too.
And this is it, methinks.
