    Living Tribunal

    Character » Living Tribunal appears in 177 issues.

    The Living Tribunal is a single entity existing across the entire Marvel Multiverse. He is the Judge of the Marvel Multiverse and the arbitrator of cosmic justice. He is above the likes of the Celestials, Galactus, Eternity, Death, and Infinity. The Living Tribunal doesn't have his own free will, as he serves the will of the creator of the Marvel Multiverse, The One Above All.

    (Chaos War) Where is the Living Tribunal?

    Why has the Living Tribunal not intervened to stop the Chaos King? he is literally eating away all reality as we know it, and yet the Tribunal is not to be found. as powerful as the Chaos King is, i refuse to believe that he is more powerful than the Living Tribunal, whose power dwarfs even that of the Infinity Gauntlet, and although i could see him not caring if 1 universe was being destroyed, but when all realities and multi-verses are being destroyed, you would think that he would be the first to intervene. so i guess i wish to ask what your thoughts are, on why he has not halted, or at the very least aided Hercules and the god squad in the fight to prevent Chaos King from destroying all there is.

    @Nova`Prime`: yes thank you i realize that, but there have also been times when all reality has been threatened when he has involved himself, and this appears to be one of those times when he would, as it stands to reason that the coming of the end of all there is, would mean his end as well.

    @Primmaster64: great point. also, another member who i asked directly said that perhaps the Tribunal is waiting to see how it turns out before he renders a judgment. thanks for your input.

    Very true, or TL just doesn't see Chaos King as big of a threat as others do. Plus its never shown what actually motivates LT besides things that threaten his power and I doubt Chaos King is that, even if he destroys the universe.. he isn't a multi-universe threat like say someone misusing the Infinity Gauntlet.

    Cho said the Chaos King has absorbed 98% of the multiverse, not just the universe.
     
    The real reason the Tribunal isn't getting involved, is that he'd end the threat at its conception therefore Hercules would no longer be relevant. His absence is due to storytelling reasons and nothing else.

    Oh...of course XD No wonder they won't have him appear, but like I said LT probably knows that Herc has it under control and sees no need to get involve...until now

    Presumably the One-Above-All has the Tribunal NOT intervene. Or maybe the "multiverse" was simply Earth-616 and its pocket dimensions, such as the Hell realms, the divine realms, but not other realities. Besides, Mikaboshi is not on the Tribunal's level, if he's equal to Eternity, so...  
     
    TOAA did help Thor against Glory, though, so...

    Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tiiiide, roll away... whistle solo *whistle solo* 
     
    Quite a few ways to justify his lack of presence, Cho as is an unreliable source in the nature of these things, Mikaboshi, wasn't that huge of a threat, or Living Tribunal and maybe a few other concepts, already knew the outcome and so didn't bother to intervene no matter how dire. You don't have to be Biff Tannen to know that Hercules was going to fluke a win, and Mitsubishi would lose.

    Yeah, I think so, too: Hercules was played, just like THANOS was, to save the Universe. By who, I think we all know. Glory was destroyed in Chaos War: Thor #2.

    You had a good reasoning, we all know that TOAA created the Omniverse and has a plan and story for all the characters. Maybe TOAA has the Living Tribunal to intervene only when he knows that no one can stand against a thread.
