The words I used is "fictional continuity", which includes everything that appears in Marvel issues (or more precisely the raw materials, since the current present is mostly the product of autonomous evolution from there on).

You see, that's the point where arbitrary affirmations tend to lose most of their credibility. As a matter of fact, PR Beyonder historically predates TOAA by a long shot and his power-level was clearly on par with the later. Then the guy in charge of Secret Wars 2 was quicked from Marvel for indulging himself a little too much through the main character, and Beyonder was rectoned so many not even them know for sure what he is. Then TOAA suddenly poppped up from nowhere while pretending to have always been da bawss.

Then his Living Tribunal in-universe proxy was outright executed by an outside force (how is that even possible ?) who turned out to be the... BeyonderS ?... and the very continuity was rectoned as having been "constructed" by some sort of "alien, ethereal other thing", lightyears from the "Almighty One Above All" who wasn't so much retconed as just forsaken altogether (which didn't take much effort considering he was almost nonexistent anyway).

So... forgive me for giving only marginal credit to arbitrary affirmations ^ ^;

Everyone will tell you what they want to believe, despite the name being so explicitely hierarchical. All the more considering TOAA is essentially a stand-in for the real-life God ("I want to believe"), who's loudly proclaimed Omnipotence is equally doubtfull.
