I find it suprising that everyone's calling the illuminati murders, when when push came to shove, only namor actually blew up a planet. The whole point was that most of the group couldn't bring themselves to do it.

I guess you could say they made the bombs that allowed namor to blow up that one planet, but after that it was the cabal through and through.

This is a very important point.

Also, the incursions were explicitly happening outside of the timelines of each individual universe, that is to say that Doom's time traveling was necessary for him to gather information and start the incursions but didn't actually buy him any real time towards stopping the Molecule Men from exploding.

If the Illuminati hadn't been blowing up worlds, Doom wouldn't have been able to engineer his Black Swans/Battleworld solution and the Beyonders would have destroyed everything, not just most things.

We are shown that the Illuminati was willing to lay down and die rather than destroy another world, until the Cabal picked up the world-killing business. If the Cabal hadn't been killing worlds, then the life-raft would never have gotten built and presumably 616 and the rest of the multiverse never gets restarted because no one is there to defeat God Doom.
