Re-read my explanation on why the Living Tribunal is more powerful

the Living Tribunal is a singular entity in the Omniverse and has the power to eliminate entire realities with a single judgement. Since the Beyond (at least by his traditional origins) is the sentient energies that make up an entire universe, the Living Tribunal would be stronger since the Beyonder is technically an entire universe and the Tribunal has the power to destroy one -- As seen in the What If? story where he destroyed the universe where Korvac won against the Avengers and took over the universe. He destroyed that entire universe to prevent Korvac from tainting others.

Even when you consider the other "retcons" of the Beyonder's origins (a) that he is a sentient Cosmic Cube and (B) an Inhuman who is also a Mutant.. Again these are all things that are native to a single universe. Therefor the Tribunal could destroy them.

Refer to the Living Tribunal destroys Earth-82432. All handbooks have also stated that there is only ONE Living Tribunal in the multiverse. If he is powerful enough to wipe out entire realities with the wave of a hand and there is no other being in the universe like him, he is more powerful than the Beyonder. The Beyonder has *threatened* to destroy a universe but never showed the ability to do so. That said, since the Beyonder is technically the makings of an entire universe, the Living Tribunal can eliminate him with a single judgement.
