[45] Lastly, while in his own words "technically omnipotent" this depends on the circumstances he is placed in as he doubted he would even stand a chance against the true Phoenix Force in the White Hot Room which suggests that the limits of his powers or how he measures up to other cosmic beings depends on the context of the situation (such as location or the authority of the other cosmic being in the hierarchy of existence).

[4], They eventually hired the Pegasusian alien race as agents, to tow Counter-Earth to the Beyonders' museum. The Beyonder first appeared during the first Secret Wars, as a being that was stated to be the omnipotent embodiment of an entire separated multiverse. Even though Strange had seen so many mysteries and beings of power, and had "stood unafraid before Eternity himself," he recoiled at the sight of the Beyonder's true nature and power. The Beyonder's first appearance was in the story Secret Wars I.
