Who takes it?

Does Mantis start with a power charge? 2nd, can he absorb power by touch, punches, or just energy blasts?

Ehhh.... I'm gonna let someone else argue this one. I don't know enough about Mantis. srug

Thanos pretty much owned the most powerful version of Mantis in Avengers: Celestial Quest

Wrong Mantis, this is the one from DC.

Oh sorry.

DC Mantis?

Could someone direct me to a couple of comics involving him? Tell me what to read at least

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_%28DC_Comics%29

There's not alot on him. He hasn't shown up in DC in awhile.

Well, it says in his wiki bio that he was defeated by Spiderman.. sooo .

You know..

I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to say Thanos wins then?

I actually think Thanos could defeat him in hand to hand combat.

Given Thanos' amazing martial arts skill and all.

Cross-overs exist, my child.

Broaden your horizons.

The only way I could do that would be to climb a mountain.

And since I live in Yemen

I'm 90% sure that was a crossover.

Darkseid gave Mantis his powers.

This isn't exactly a good showing for Mantis, but it shows how much juice he can store. Mantis fires the full power of Hal Jordan's GL ring at Darkseid.

How hard is it to overload him?

It's pretty hard to do. Mantis has drained power from guys like Infinity Man, GLs, and others. Thanos might be able to do it, but again, I'm not sure.

Do you think Thanos would risk it?

If he wasn't able to overload him, it'd be hell.

There's two or three possibilities if Thanos tries that. And someone better informed than me could answer which one it is.

1. Thanos burns Mantis's energy absorbtion out and overloads him. Might not happen, I think Mantis can control what he absorbs and he could just redirect it, I think.

2. Mantis absorbs all of Thanos's power. In which case, Thanos is ****ed.

3. If Mantis does have a limit, he could just start blasting the power back at Thanos, and expend as much energy as he absorbs, thereby keeping him under his overload limit.

But this third option would require Thanos to be an idiot.

I have never seen Mantis over loaded. Someone Like Infinity Man is above the Top tier and Mantis hasn't had a problem absorbing his power. Mantis is second in power of the Evil New Gods to DS. It's fair to say this fight can go either way.

What about draining? Has anyone besides Darkseid ever drained Mantis?

Not that I can recall. But DS is the premier energy drainer in comics.

thanos beats mantis.

Orion overloaded Mantis, I believe. But, since Thanos' blasts aren't even close to being as powerful as Orion's are, it's a rather moot point.

Mantis should win....although, saying "This touch shatters solar systems" and then going on to touch a guy and it did nothing kinda makes me wonder WTF really happened.

Dr Fate and his amazing durability...

Ummm..I wasn't claiming it was good as Thanos, so where did that come from?

Still though, people claiming that feat is so good, and really, it's only relevant if Fate is more durable than Thanos...
