Marvel Cosmic Hierarchy
This is a rough guide to the Cosmic Hierarchy of the Marvel Universe. I say “rough” because for the most part a guide like this is based on ones interpretation of how these characters are positioned in the cosmic scheme of things revealed in the comics and in official profiles etc.
Even with the advantage of comic panel evidence and the comic book profiles it is still largely a controversial subject when designing a hierarchy, as some are based on power, some on importance, position or purpose. Basically, it is at the whim of the writers where a character is placed on the hierarchy and is subject to change depending on what the writers want to happen.
A being who is all powerful one moment may be depowered the next or vice versa. For example; The Beyonder was the single most powerful being in the Marvel Universe, he was later part of a Retcon (Retroactive Continuity) , meaning his origin was changed, and he was de-powered to cosmic cube level, however, it appears he has been powered up again in recent times. The same thing happened with Owen Reece, the Molecule Man.
The One Above all is supposed to represent God in the Marvel Universe, and the writer of the Comics, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby maybe, the creators of Marvel characters. TOAA is only mentioned and not really seen, and is the one who gives authority and power to the Living Tribunal to keep the cosmic balance and Judge Cosmic issues.
