Speaking of that, by definition Touma's power won't work on anyone who has the Heart of the Universe , as that artifact makes the wielder functionally omnipotent.
And how can you prove that? For all intent and purpose, Touma's universe has a power called Dark Matter, that f*cks up the universe rules as its power. But even that will fall before the Imagine Breaker. And this isn't even the extent of his powers yet. There's room to grow, and powers to slap down.
The Ultimate Nulifier is written by Marvel, whose very own Sentry's power has been found to yo-yo across the board. And unlike a comic plot device, To Aru Majutsu no Index's is written by one writer, thus more consistent and more reliable.
That's not to say that I think that Imagine Breaker can top UN. Seriously, no. UN is a plot hax. IB is also one, but in the scale of To Aru? It is already overkill, to blow it up to UN power level is illogical. But in all intent and purpose, IB and UN serve in the same role, an artifact that can contain the most powerful being in the story/one that erase all power before it. Marvel universe is larger and more powerful critters.. beings inhabits it. UN power scale is needed to do that.
In To Aru Majutsu no Index, Imagine Breaker does its job adequately. And it's doing its job while containing Touma's unnamed prisoner to boot!
So, how will we know that IB in a marvel universe isn't a version of UN? It could be the same thing, or it could not. A human version might acted differently from a full UN. Once the sandbox size is taken into account, IB might or even cancel UN. Touma can be written as the only being who will survive a UN activation convincingly. Or he could just be erased like the rest of the Gods/Omnipotent Beings in Marvel, that is also realistic.
That's the trouble with plot hax, it is only as powerful as the current writer meant it to be. And with Joe Quesada's Norman Osborn rearranging Marvel's dinner table, I have less confidence in Marvel than To Aru's author.

The Ultimate Nullifier has the word ultimate in it for a reason.
Like in Ultimate Spider-Man? So, the reason is to make more money? :crazy:
