User blog:Whitekey/My ranking of the most powerful Marvel beings (A personal list)--Version 1

What is your ranking of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe? The answer to this question tells you a lot about the person making the list. It really all depends on how you define power, and which comics you get into. I know there are many lists out there, but what true Marvelite wouldn't have their own personal one. It is a fun topic to discuss, but has Marvel ever provided an official list or ranking? It doesn't really matter though. Here is MY tentative list. Future blog postings will attempt to flesh this out, and give my reasons. I know I'm leaving out many--there are just way too many characters. I don't read that many X titles, so those characters are underrepresented here. A lot of Dr. Strange characters showed up here, so any avid readers of that title want to weight in? I'm sticking with beings that came into contact with characters in Earth-616.

Top 30
 * 1) One-Above-All (Multiverse) (obvs.)
 * 2) Living Tribunal
 * 3) Phoenix Force (Earth-616)
 * 4) Abraxas (Cosmic Being) (Earth-616)
 * 5) Shuma-Gorath (Earth-616)
 * 6) Nightmare (Earth-616)
 * 7) (tie) Death (Cosmic Entity) / Oblivion (Earth-616) / Infinity (Entity) (Earth-616) / Eternity (Earth-616)
 * 8) Demiurge (Earth-616)
 * 9) Chthon (Earth-616)
 * 10) Lord Chaos (Earth-616)
 * 11) Master Order (Earth-616)
 * 12) Celestials (ranked accordingly)
 * 13) Dormammu (Earth-616)
 * 14) Atum (Earth-616)
 * 15) Zom (Earth-616)
 * 16) (tie) Vishanti: Agamotto (Earth-616), Hoggoth (Earth-616), Oshtur (Earth-616)
 * 17) Other Elder Gods
 * 18) Kronos (Eternal) (Earth-616)
 * 19) (tie) Beyonder (Earth-616) / Owen Reece (Earth-616)

 * 24) Stranger (Earth-616)
 * 25) In-Betweener (Earth-616)
 * 26) Thanos (Earth-616)
 * 27) Galactus (Earth-616)
 * 28) Shaper of Worlds (Earth-616)
 * 29) Ashema (Earth-616)
 * 30) Adversary (Earth-616)

I can't figure out where these go because I don't read enough Thor:
 * Asgardians (incl. Thor, Odin, etc.)
 * Ymir (Earth-616)
 * Frost Giants
 * Surtur (Earth-616)

The list above is heavy on cosmic and abstract beings, I'm not sure where these go yet either:
 * Franklin Richards (Earth-616)
 * Jonathan Richards (Earth-967)
 * Mephisto (Earth-616)
 * Uatu (Earth-616)
 * The Summers crew.
 * Norrin Radd (Earth-616)
 * Onslaught (Earth-1298)
 * Bete Noir (Earth-616)

The list has many reality manipulators. I've left out some really strong characters:
 * Robert Reynolds (Earth-616)
 * The Hulks
 * Super-Adaptoid (Earth-616)

Version 2 coming soon.
