Is Thanos aware of what the spear is? If not Thanos dies.

Soljer
If this is forum bloodlust, meaning Thanos won't be toying with Superman, Thanos wins in a stomp.

Thanos_THOTU
Isnt SoD a anti-Spectre device?
It would have no affect on Thanos.

After all a snap* reaches futher than the leangh of the spear.

Galan007
IF Supes had the opportunity to use the Spear on Thanos, then of course he would win.


But the IG is definitely a more versatile artifact.

Thanos in seconds.

What exactly does the Spear of Destiny enable you to do ?

But the Spear will possess/control it's user, over time.

1) Is the Spear of Destiny more powerful than the Ultamate Nullifer ?


2) And when you say kill Spectre, do you mean the Host or the actual Wrath of God ? I doubt the Wrath itself can be killed....

In terms of raw power? yes

It really is that powerful.

The IG has no power in the DCU (so much for "infinity"wink. One could reasonably infer that it has power only in the MU.

Are there such limitations on the SoD? If not, this would seem to give Superman a definite advantage if they fought anywhere but in the MU.

Skeets
I.G wins.The Spear doesn't grant the user/wielder any added protection (that I know of).It can be taken away as if it were a regular spear.

Superman was gonna use it on Spectre,but Spectre just tapped into his mind and showed him the possible future that would follow.
Superman then gave it up and Spectre got rid of it..

How can the spear destroy something which is indestructable ? The Gems have never been destroyed. Simply over ruled by LT.

This is why cross-company established facts don't mix well.

You're right,

the 616 Gems in Marvel are totality indestructible.

I know your questions arnt directed at me but i think its irrelevant whether the spear can be destroyed or not in this case what we have to ask is that is Thanos arrogant enough to allow a flying man with a spear openly attack him and the answer is yes.

Endless Mike
But wouldn't the IG's cosmic awareness inform him of the threat it posed to him?

My opinion on the matter was simply that I believe Spectre's durability to be > an Infinity Gem.


Hence I personally don't see why the Spear could not destroy a Gem, if it can destroy Spectre.

The infinity gauntlet controls every aspect of time, space, reality, power, energy, and soul.......i believe it would have power in any reality or universe......it would own a spear. Even the living tribunal didnt want to fight it when adam warlock had it (warlock and the infinity watch #1)

Well i guess i stand corrected

Juntai
I agree with both Galan and Mr Master.
The cross company politics is kind of what kills this, and the gems do seem to be indestructible..

However the very idea that the spear can even destroy a piece of god, leads me personally to believe it should be able to destroy one of the infinity gems or a wielder of them, provided it gets that chance. As I don't see them being higher on the chain than that.

However Thanos wielding the IG I beleive would win, as he could still destroy Superman.

Umm...yes we do. One power cannot work in another existance.


If a Marvel character/item has no authority in DC, then the same is true vise versa.

Assuming Superman got the CHANCE to stab Thanos, it'd kill him.

The thing is, though, with the infinity gauntlet, Superman'll never get the chance. That's why Thanos'd win this in a stomp.

The Spear of Destiny killed pre-crisis Spectre, post-crisis is far more powerful when tapped into the Logoz.
The Logoz is up there with the Source and Voice.

Are the Logoz (the power Spectre taps/is a part of), and the Logos, (the room where God's voice can be heard by the likes of Michael), the same thing with a variation in spelling? confused

Endless Mike
I was wondering that too

illadelph12
Um, not to be a dick, but couldn't it just be that since the Spear of Destiny has divine blood on it that it can pierce the Spectre as well being as how Jesus=God=Spectre. It doesn't have to be especially powerful if it's purpose is to simply slay/injure deities.

Example of my point being that Holy Water will destroy Demons but if you threw it on Luke Cage he'll just slap you silly with no effect.

I'm just saying...

It is a Spear so getting stabbed would likely hurt, but it's supernatural abilities might not be exactly universal in application. You might not be able to stab just anything with it with the same effects.

However, the Spear has never been applied in a Universal scale, but this doesn't mean that if it pierced through Thanos, it would not kill him... Because it would, IG or not..


But I do think the IG takes this simply because it is a much more versatile weapon.

if it's limited to that distance of attack, that's a weakness that can be exploited.

Hmm...

Was it ever specified how the spear did this? It could just be that a spear bearer is destined to kill someone who brings about armageddon (by setting off a chain of events by, say, killing the Spectre and allowing evil to run rampant in the DCU). It could be the key but not the means, feel me. Particularly if you take into consideration the Spectre/Supes encounter involving the spear.

Just speculation, of course, but within reason.

Infinity gauntlet is far, far more versatile than the spear. no contest. Space gem guarantees that thanos would be too fast to hit, Time gem could age supes a million years in a nanosecond, killing him instantly, mind gem turns supes into a vegetable, power gem can generate universe destroying blasts....there really isn't much you CANT do with it.
and range isn't an issue. thanos could be 1000 light years away and still use it.

in contrast, the spear...uh..could stab you.

the gauntlet also isn't limited to 616...it doesn't work in DC, but DOES work in the ultraverse, which was a totally different continuity IIRC. So using that as a gauge of which is more powerful isn't totally accurate.

Also, not sure if it has been mentioned here, but the Spear can also control anyone who is not a normal human. Any meta or superpowered character will immediately fall under the power of the wielder of the spear.

Last time someone got the spear, Wildcat has Jay Garrick/Flash kill him several times, as his only Superpower was having nine lives. Thus could no longer be controlled by the spear.

Are the Logoz (the power Spectre taps/is a part of), and the Logos, (the room where God's voice can be heard by the likes of Michael), the same thing with a variation in spelling? confused

I would assume so.

Based on Christian mythos the word if God is roughly God's power and in fact logos can be associated with God's creation itself. Logos means "the word".

The room where one can hear god's words could resonably be called the Logos. And if one were to tap into God's power it could be said that one can control the word of god.

For example in the Preacher's universe the Preacher has so much power due to his voice. He would seem to command the word or logos.

don't shiv
Thanos IQ and speed of thought humbles Supes,
Spear of Destiny Thrust at Lightspeed would proly be assimilated by Thanos. like when Crawler bonded with the soul sword

Even in the world of comics, that's exactly what the Logos is as well:

Why does one version end with a "z" and the other end with an "s"? confused

Well they wanted to seem original so they replaced the s with an z

Or writers have no idea how it's spelled.

Typo? Or maybe someone misread Logos because of the font used and thought the S was a Z.

Any other time I've seen that word (even in actual texts), it ends with an S...



So it got me wondering if they were the exact same thing?

I assume they are, but I'm not 100% sure... confused
