He can take blasts from the likes of Odin or Tyrant, he has incredible physical strenght, intelligence, a source of dark power to tap into, but I've never saw him fly except for when he was the owner of the HOTU and the IG.

don't think so

I am pretty sure he could if he wanted, his brother is very good at it and it probably put him off as a child not being able to compete

Poor Thanos

Maybe that's when he snapped...
Thanos: "Everybody loves Eros"
That could be a fun show

No, he cannot fly, but he can propel himself through his blasts like Jack of Hearts and Blastaar do.

Jack Of Hearts before his death has achieved control over his powers, he was able to hover in mid air and fly without propeling himself in that way.

Mimic fly

During IG, just after Thanos lost the gauntlet and Nebula banished him someplace, he was seen just floating in space, which means he can't actually fly. But in slight contrast to this, during Thanos Quest, the Runner destroyed Thanos' chair and Thanos was just hanging onto the debris. While Runner was talking, Thanos lunged at Runner (didn't touch Runner but moved towards him), which is weird seeing as Thanos has zero weight in space and had no momentum.

Flight probably isn't one of his natural abilities. Might be similar to Surfer and Firelord - neither have been seen to fly without the surfboard and staff - but if they focus their cosmic energy into flying, they'd be able too. I think, anyway. But seeing as Thanos also uses cosmic energy, he should be able to fly as well, if he focused his energy that way.

I think this is what you were implying:

To answer the thread starters question, he can levitate, but he can't fly.

Looks like it.
Eros may use some mechanical device on him - flight ring or something - to fly through space, alongside people like Firelord.

I don't understand why this is being debated : Thanos can not fly, he has never been seen flying, nowhere is stated he can fly and so on...

Are there any Thanos trades out? Preferably somewhat recent.

As one of the Eternals, Eros just mentally controls gravitons to fly. Being that he's a deviant eternal, Thanos' abilities in those regards may differ. I'm sure he could, but just doesn't feel like it.

No.
He can levi' and he can teleport, but no actual flying.

Could he? Possibly, but he'd be like a bottle rocket, no control.

I dunno, we know he can levitate and it may turn out to be flight, he may have granted himself that ability after the events of The End. At the moment I guess you have to say he can't truely fly, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it happen in a future appearance.

it's stupid to think he absolutely can't fly. i mean, he can probably invent a C or faster flight ring in his sleep. even aside, it seems like manipulation of his other powers could easily lead to flight.

most likely: thanos just looks really stupid flying, from a purely character-design perspective.

Firleord can fly without his staff.... he just uses it for additional balance and control:

lol..... Spidey's hands are touching his "Precious Firestaff" ...

Thanos can fly with his helicopter

Oh those were the days

Just like his DC counterpart Darkseid, Thanos cannot fly, but only levitate himself.

Flying is beneath Thanos.

Probably could but flying just doesn't fit Thanos just levitating

Giant bricks don't fly unless they're wearing a cape.

Earth levitation similar to Terrax so um yeah he can fly in this sense.

Why would thanos need to fly when he can teleport?

In terms of traveling you're right, teleportation makes a lack of flying less of a short coming, but in combat Superman-style flight is superior to the kind of teleportation Thanos has demonstrated.

Thanos don't need to fly. He would drop Sups while chilling on the ground.

Thanos has showed he can fly once, in the cosmic cube arc.(just before he got the cube)

thanos looks foolish flying. that's why he has the power chair.

He can levitate

eternals are able to fly by being taught to utilize their cosmic energy to levitate, and iirc their abilities are graded on a (0)1-5 level of efficiency (ikaris being a 5 in flight). apparently either didn't bother to harness his innate potential, can't due to his mutant physiology, or chooses not to in order to re-route his personal energies for other aspects of his power-set like strength.

I thought Thanos wasn't an actual deviant/mutant, he was a genetically "pure" Eternal who through some small superficial mutation had the surface appearance of a deviant but all the same internal physiology of a proper Eternal.

Guess he can't fly, but at least he can fight and crow.

This scan shows him appearing to fly, but it's the only example I can recall that seems more like flight than levitation:

Just to clarify (I know this was an eternity ago) but Darkseid can fly.

wtf...that just seems wrong that he can move like that

Yeah he's genetically 100% Eternal.
