clearly you dont know what you are talking about and did not watch the video. try again. heres a nice example. I (TOAA) enter the room and want to create a drawing but there is only a table (oblivion). So I (TOAA) put down a blank paper (marvel universe) on the table (Oblivion). Now i draw on the paper (things come into existence inside the multiverse) on the table (Oblivion) Once im done i (TOAA) take my creation (the multiverse and all my creations) i throw it away and leave the room. All thats left is the table (oblivion WHERE IT ALL STARTED)

Always fun to listen to people talk about the Big O.
There are 5 being that represent the 3 faces of the Living Tribunal: Necessity - Eternity (Time & Life) & Infinity (Space) Equity - Galactus Vengeance - Death (Time & Life) & Oblivion (Space) Eternity represents the continuation of life & time, while Death is the end of them. Infinity represents the universe & its expansion, Oblivion represents the void surrounding it & its shrinking.
It’s actually crazy that somewhere in the marvel comics that the one above all can only be harmed by love not the being but they said it was the feeling of love
I still feel like TOAA is still the most powerful. The writers are just adding more stuff.

Okay I know everybody mentions Oblivion mistress death and all but why does nobody ever mention Nex the goddess of night
Bets on the other Ur Divisors? Maybe the King in Black, The Pheonix perhaps. Cant be the One Below All as it is literally one aspect of The One Above All. Just maybe the being the represents the cycle that is an ultimate survivor/ destroyer we see in Galactus and Franklin Richards.
Oblivion is literally the canvas that the writer wrote on. Only the writer can be above the canvas. TOAA, is made within the canvas. How could he be above? That would make him the writer which he is not. He is the literal end.
I believe that yes Oblivion might be strong but the Character Joy, controls their will
Nice
Even in the current hulk comics there was a being tht existed before Toaa came the mother of horrors
Whats interesting is in my own universe i created, my god of time and space (two gods) are considered the most powerful because Oblivion is just one side of the same coin as time and space. You can think of it as if there is nothing then you have Oblivion, but you can also say there is always time and space so a person can easily say a time and space god will always exist.
7:20 - Given that all dimensions in 616 exist inside of either Overspace, the one that most dimensions, including Earth, exist, Microverse & Underspace, the Outer Void seems to be where dimensions that orbit the universe, like the Dark Dimension & Agamotto's Dimension, exist. 9:10 - False! Oblivion is only 1 aspect of the Living Tribunal, 1/2 of Vengeance.
Yup yup
If ghost rider comes in that would be dope
Wow ❤
I respect and love this channel but you are wrong in several instances. Oblivion first appeared in Iceman Vol.1, #3 of a 4 issue mini-series. That was it's first appearance. 2ndly, Oblivion is Eternity's equal and it's brother. The two cancel each other out in all reality. Same as Infinity and Death do in the same reality.
Premise is similar the American Gods by Neil Gaiman
What about TOAA ? Because every week we get new most powerful Character Enigma, Oblivion, TOBA and other characters. But isn't TOAA represent the writer so how these character be more powerful than the writer?
The whole point of being TOAA is that there's no one more powerful than you. I don't think that oblivion is more powerful than him.

I still believe TOAA is THE most powerful. I mean, he is Marvel itself, right? He created Oblivion, the Living Tribunal, Eternity, etc. I don't know. It's the writer behind this comic, but looking at the characters as a whole. There is a hierarchy. Oblivion, according to Variant, is the most powerful among his siblings. I argue that regardless of Tribunal not being able to deal with Oblivion physically, I think TOAA would have no problem since he is omnipotent and omnipresent personified

Oblivion is the 3rd most powerful Marvel character. Behind (2nd) The one below all and (1st) The one above all. Or he's the 2nd most powerful, because Toba and Toaa are one being.
