Thanos is base level with no gems or armour. How would he fare against the same metal barrage attack Magneto threw at Apocalypse? Would he no sell it, only obtain scratches, be impaled, or even survive it? Just curious as to the boards opinion on this matter.

This isn't a "who would win scenario", it's just a durability/damage output thread.

Magneto (as an old man) has shown the ability to rip out and lift the Golden Gate Bridge and support structure with his powers, that's 880,000+ tons in lighting weight alone, without factoring in the ripping force required behind the act.

Meaning he could impale Thanos with steel beams with that amount of force. I don't think Thanos could take it indefinitely.

Thanks for the reply. The only reason I started this thread is due to my own doubts. I assume that barrage could mess Thanos up, possibly kill him, but I had to take a step back and wonder if I am underestimating Thanos.

Thanos is extremely strong and durable, but we're talking about a mutant who can exert over 1.7 billion pounds of force with his powers, and this was while he was old.

Wow

Magneto decimates

The OP wants this to be the Magneto portrayed in Age of Apocalypse. All the metal he hurled at Apocalypse was small and consisted of scrap. The speed at which it was thrown was at least 10 times slower than a 20mm round.

Thanos is vastly more durable than any man-made alloy or natural metal, we're talking orders of magnitude here.

There are videos showing bullets disintegrating on impact with steel plates without leaving a scratch. Likewise, if scrap metal were hurled at Thanos fast enough, it would simply be destroyed on contact.

You guys are funny.

Writer's intent was that it was planet destroying force.

1. Magneto would be able to hold projectiles together as they impact, and even keep pushing them forward after impact...not like bullets decimating on impact. He can probably hold the weakest metals together just as easily as a stronger metal.
2. Apoc shields were purple like his teleportation bubble, and the metal from Magneto was disappearing, not piling up round him. Cyclops energy beam seemed to be getting blocked/deflecting/dissapating by the shield.
Maybe the shield blocks energy attacks but teleports matter away?

Thanos would not survive a barrage by Magneto. Now what would happen if Thor's hammer were thrown at Apocalypse's shields?

1. You're creating a hypothetical scenario that goes against the OP. Magneto is hurling the exact same scrap metal at Thanos in the exact same way he did at Apoc.


2. The metal was either being destroyed on impact or transmuted, as seen by the material forming around the shield.
