Cyttorak.
The only information Insane Genis-Vell will get from prep-time is:
Cyttorak = transinfinite unlimited endless power.
Cyttorak can actually observe anything around the universe if he so pleases and that includes watching events that include Genis-Vell. But Genis-Vell has no way of observing Cyttorak. This match would be more fair if it were Insane Genis-Vell vs 8th Day Juggernaut. (Or possibly Trion Juggernaut)
Genis puts a cosmic .45 to his head and pushes his wig back.

I pick the guy who actually has relevant feats.
Cyttorak is way beyond one of eterniteys's children in power. Cyttorak shows Genis shat it means to be a God.
If anyone lives in New York, please go watch the planets at the National History Museum. It's insane and explains the Big Bang Theory.
To even restart a Universe is INSANE indeed. Genis actually has a real feat here that not many people have done. Destroy and recreate everything.

IGV wipes the floor with Cyttorak.
Easily.

This would be equal to throwing hand grenades at a ghost. Or launching nukes at a ghost.@tron_bonne said:

He isn't. You'll only hear that from 1) tron_bonne 2) Lance Bastro 3) Kenshiroo

I figured it was hogwash, but on the off-chance he actually has substantial proof...I'd like to hear it.
@iLLituracy:You won't have any on-panel evidence as proof, but they'll give you lots of theories to prove that Cyttorak is superior to abstracts like Eternity.
I'll admit that some of them are pretty interesting to read, especially the ones created by Lance Bastro. But until Marvel comes up with an official storyline showing Cyttorak to be above the likes of the prime abstracts of Marvel, it's only theory and good for "what if" speculations.
In a resent comic a bunch of evil underworld characters were around Satans vacant throne. The ones who dared sit closest were considered the highest ranked.
Mephisto was there and so was Cyttorak whose seats were pretty close to each other.
I don't know much about Insane Genis-Vell but Cyttorak is way overrated/overranked in the battle forum.
I'd say Insane Genis-vell would win because he has actually done Eternity-level impressive stuff in the comics. Cyttorak's claim to fame is getting beaten up by Juggernaut, and he's Juggernaut's powersource no less. How does that happen? The crimson bands have been broken before, and it seems he's all hype.
Color me impressed.
Because it is a different conception from a different universe that watches over the multiverse like a TV.@tron_bonne said:

How is Cyttorak above Eternity?
Kenshrioo explained how the Crimson Cosmos is omniversal
Lance Bastro explained Perception vs Reality
Eternity is what exactly? An abstract..... Abstract of what? The answer is simple.
Now reverse the question on Cyttorak. He's a concept of many things, but why is that? Perception. Heck, Juggernaut himself as the Trion Juggernaut is 1/8 of the physical aspect of Cyttorak alone.
So it's Reality vs Perception and Actuality vs Comprehension
Example of Comprehension
... How is any of what you said prove anything? Cyttorak, if memory serves, which I'm sure it does, is an earth-bound deity that was worshiped and banished to the Crimson Cosmos. While powerful, I don't see how he's ever going to match up to the embodiment of all spacetime. I don't want to hear theory, I want to hear fact on Cyttorak. If you can provide scans, that would be great, if not, then issue and page numbers will do and I'll research the matter myself.Because it gets much deeper than that. Cyttorak provides hints of his powers whenever featured through name and what not. Let me throw in one example: The Ancient One vs Eternity and Eternity vs Nightmare.

I'm not sure why you always try to over hype Cyttorak TBH.Because it gets much deeper than that. Cyttorak provides hints of his powers whenever featured through name and what not. Let me throw in one example: The Ancient One vs Eternity and Eternity vs Nightmare.
You have to find the scans through either Kenshioo or Lance, but Ancient One woships Cyttorak as most powerful deity and he single handedly defeated Eternity with his bare hand.



If you really need me to I can dig up the scan but I'm sure you have seen it already. Eternity clearly states that he was never in any real danger during the encounter with Nightmare.Nightmare before he was retconned was also able to submit Eternity and Nightmare is in par to the original Juggernaut and Juggernaut is nothing without Cyttorak.

Yeah, I took note of Cytorrak in that issue too. Personally I enjoy reading Lance's stuff but I do think much of it is conjecture and the use of old fights (like Ancient One and Eternity) that happened while Marvel was still evolving their ideas about the various universal powers. I mean, we all understand that Classic Strange and Current Strange have entirely different power levels, and that's true for many other entities from that time period as well.
I think Cytorrak, like other rulers of pocket dimensions, has a lot of power, but those power levels vary depending on the size of the pocket dimension. I also tend to see him in the same basic ballpark as Mephisto, Agamotto, or Dormammu, maybe a bit more powerful. I could even buy that he's near Shuma-Gorath (who, incidentally, was also in that same issue of Journey into Mystery where the devils are all sitting around Satan's throne). But I don't buy that he's equal to Eternity or LT. (Or that Shuma is equal to them either.)

Agreed. It's hard to believe some of the characters people believe can take out Eternity and LT
@Dernman: @Owie: I agree. Most people are almost unstoppable in their own dimension. But even in their dimension they can't take powers like Phoenix, PR Beyonder or LT. I don't see Cyttorak as any different. If Cyttorak is so bad how did he get banished in the first place?

If anything.... Marvel is trying to re-evolve there ideas now.
Or maybe trying to fix up their mistake within the last 10 years of failed continuities.
Says fan made articles (which are sometimes good reads), none the less Marvel states otherwise on panel.Because he wasn't banished in the 1st place. It was the influence that was banished.


Cyttorak was never shown to have an "M-body" or access to one. again this is more fan based speculation that he is above any of those other Demons shown there. It has been clearly shown throughout his history that he is banished and he can not manifest himself in the mainstream universe. That's why he has an avatar and joined that wager in the first place. His realm was also never shown to posses more power or to be more vast than any "inner dimensional demons" in any way. It has actually been compared to other such dimensions such as Asgard, furthermore LT has complete domain over his realm and all others in the Omniverse.1st of all that issue was WIS since all the demons collected to the throne of Satan where inner realm level demons. Cyttorak (perhaps an M-Body wanting to participate) was the only odd ball "demon" in that issue because he is the only extra realm abstract present in that feature presentation. It's like he was just there to cameo, and had nothing to do with the story.



Cyttorak is placed well above Mephisto OR ANY Inner/inter realm demon.
Cyttorak is placed on the extra-dimsionsional level
It's just that, a fan made legend never shown or proven on panel.The legend is this:
Extra-dimension (out of reality) >>> Inter-dimension (splinter realms that boarder reality with idea) >>> Inner-dimension (within reality)
He never worshiped Cyttorak, ever. Cyttorak is banished in his crimson cosmos so he is generous with the portions of power he lets people only if they invoke him correctly, he does this to spread his name so he keeps his power and so he will not be forgotten over time. Unlike Dormammu and Mephisto who can easily cross over into the mainstream universe and do dirty work themselves. Mephisto and Dormammu actually have agendas because they are not restricted to where they can go.He has done nothing at all to show he is above either of the two.As mentioned above on my link: Dr. Doom acknowledges this by fighting Mephisto and Dormammu. Unlike these two, who Dr. Doom spites without a care of respect, Dr. Doom can not do the same with Cyttorak, but is forced to respect and worship him at the humblest he can get.
I like Stan and all but he was far from water tight in his writings and editing. He was even tricked into publishing Sise-neg by a fake letter from a minister. this actually had a part in the forming of "what if?" comics. He did not retcon things because he would just say "Oh yeah, that happened in an alternate reality". In addition characters like Cyttorak and Galactus when created were supposed to stay on the down low and only show up in big events, when Jack Kirby created Galactus he never planned an origin story because it was meant to be kept that way, mysterious. Stan gave the fans what they wanted despite what some writers wanted, if Cyttorak was as popular as Galactus he would have a clear origin, back story and allot of jobbing too, most Marvel fans just don't give a crap about him.No, no, no.... Marvel had their power hierarchy water tight back then. Back when Stan became head Chief, the heirachy was water tight all the way until his retirement.
They have been doing this since the publishing company was formed, Stan did it in the forms of alternate realities/timeslines the new publishers are trying to clean it up a bit with retcons. Not much difference.Haven't you noticed that since Stan left, new writers have been rectconning Marvel's continuity at least 10 times already? Why do they need to retcon the continuity that many times within just that 10 years?
So is there a big contradiction here on "Marvel Evolution" or has someone been trying to change Marvel from it's 30 plus years of water tight ideas since the leave of his predecessor?
Not sure who Genis is...but he looks like Ion after stealing magnetos helmet :)


Insane Genis-Vel. From what I've heard, Cyttorak has next to no feats outside of powering the Juggernaut.
Well I find it humorous. I actually think they just put him in there because of his part in Marvel vs Capcom 3. He's been given quite a few cameos as of late ever since then.@Prince CortSether: Thank you. Someone who is capable of good reasoning.

And I haven't read this arc yet, but if the demons there are supposed to be positioned by the throne based on their level of power (closer to throne being more powerful) then they must be saying that Shuma-Gorath is weaker than Mephisto. Which, if we take Steve Englehart's original run with Shuma-Gorath in the 70s, was already shown to not be the case. I mean this is a demon who made the Ancient One convinced that he was a dead man as soon as Shuma-Gorath had set its sight on Earth again. This is a demon who Sise-Neg near the end of his journey was wary of fighting. This is a demon who stalemated the combined might of Agamotto, Oshtur and Hoggoth. A demon who took over Nightmare's realm and placed a spell of silence on him without even having to go there. A demon who gave Strange the power to destroy multiple galaxies just by being present. A demon who could nonchalantly affect the entire Earth by surrounding it in a ring of fire from 1,000 planes away. A demon whose lesser realm was making a peer of the Ancient One, Kaluu, collapse and go comatose. A demon who powered up the Cancerverse's Galactus Engine which was killing Celestials and stalemating Galactus. But according to this writer, Shuma-Gorath is far behind the likes of Mephisto? Is he high? I'm hoping the illustrator was just being ignorant and the writer/editor just accidentally overlooked it.@Prince CortSether: Thank you. Someone who is capable of good reasoning.
i agree.. i think the writer is not familiar with Marvel's hierarchy of demons.. also, from what issue was that scan from Cort?
From what I've found online it's Journey into Mystery #627. I want to pick it up but kind of don't at the same time.@Prince CortSether said:

To me this is like in Dragonball GT where all the villains escape from Hell and Freeza is seen leading them all, even though much more powerful villains like Bojack are seen behind him and taking his orders for some reason.
lol.. looks interesting.. i think i'll grab a copy..
Also Shuma wouldn't just sit there afloat when thousands of mini demons are around him like that....
Using Shuma's in-character logic.... He would drain all of there powers at once and eat all of them for lunch!
