S: Galactus and The Watcher (or the Doer as he should surely be called). God out of Savage Dragon.

D: The Living Tribunal.

I tried to find a proper picture of the so-called Living Tribunal but even Google seems embarrassed by him and there was nothing but 'fan art'. What does he actually do?

He's got three faces, and one is vengeance and the other two are other judgey-type things, and he judges Earth wanting and sets up a giant hourglass and Dr Strange has the time left in the hourglass to make Earth good again or he'll blow it up. (it takes about nine months of solid action, so presumably it's a really big hourglass.) I'm sure he's done more since under Starlin.

Uhm, not really. The Tribunal just sort of tribunes and moves the story along.

S: The In-Betweener, The Celestials
D: All others.

Recommended that you round up What If the Avengers Became Pawns of Korvac. Juicy cosmic action!

S: The Spectre (original, not current/soon-to-no-longer-be Hal Jordan wuss-ass), The Phantom Stranger, Darkseid, Krona

D: Highfather, Guardians of the Universe

Grant Morrison to thread. Who was the cat in Rock of Ages who was taking care of that whole time & space business, except he was a robot apprenticed to some other guy? Also GM's Archons/Barbelith, the Sublime Virus sort of, etc.

Michael Fleisher's greatest work.

"But a pit full of alligators is only a joke... to the Spectre..."

They should give Galactus his own series and have him face a pit full of dangerous animals.

(xpost - Hourman. But Tom Peyer depowered him in a fairly interesting comment on the merits of fallibility in a medium historically obsessed with the infallible.)

C/D: Metron

The worst EVER I saw in one issue of that kid-superfamily (was it called Power Pack?). It was the cosmic embodiment of fate. This meant that it turned up at the end of a disastrous plotline and said "This is not what is fated to be" and sorted out the mess. Basically a cosmic embodiment of "oh no I have fucked things up, can I get away with the ancient Greek drama dodge" for writers really.

I liked the Living Tribunal, based on its first appearance, but it may have come back and been used more tediously since.
