They're not canon since they are alternate universes and power levels vary depending on comic universes because of independent writers.
On the other hand they are part of the 616 comic timeline up to the point of divergence (like possible futures only the divergence is in the present of the comic) so they are the same version of the characters with the diverging point being decisions made that change the course of their history.
But they are also made for the specific purpose of being continuity free and made for the writers to go as buck wild as possible without a second thought of timeline consistency or character assassination since they're specifically made not to be canon.
I see we do count MCU's what if feats to be canon to the characters from the MCU since they are timeline variants of those versions. But then again those as well have inconsistent power settings and out of character moments from the MCU versions (like Vision being able to one shot Thanos and Pre-Ragnarok Thor easily fighting toe to toe with an angry Carol who in the primary MCU timeline dominated Thanos physically etc.)
What is the consensus of this. Are they just as applicable as the 616 comic feats or are they stamped non-canon by already being out of character and different enough to be divergent timelines, non-canon and thereby dismissible.
