Thanos. Kurse had nice strength feats when he manhandled Thor, but Thanos did the same to Thor, Hulk, Cap with Mjolnir, etc and he has better durability feats.
This was previously discussed and I had given the win to Kurse. After watching Endgame however I have to reassess and give the win to Thanos... though he's definitely going to work for it.
Thanos seems faster and more skilled but Kurse still looks like he tanks hits better. So edge to Thanos, as he ends up landing more hits... but Kurse won't be a push over.
Kurse was no slouch in h2h, he outright bested Thor while making Thor look tiers below him, and he almost killed Thor and would have. Thanos never got close to killing Thor. These are all things to consider.
He beated a Thor without Mjolnir, who was mourning his mother (not mentally stable) and who hadn't unlocked God-Mode. Place Thanos in Kurse's place, and he does it way better.
Also, Kurse has never tanked a lightning from Thor and was impaled by a non-important sword.
IIRC, it wasn't a dagger but an elven sword that ran him through the back, but it didn't seem to hurt him. Just surprised him. Whereas when Stormbreaker impaled Thanos he was clearly hurting.
As for the blackhole grenade, well, Starlord's gravity pods were capable of locking down Thanos for a bit in IW. Thanos may or may not survive a blackhole grenade, but I haven't seen anything from him that indicates he can.
In any case, there are no swords, daggers or grenades here. And Kurse tanked Thor's hits better than Thanos did. Thanos blocked/dodged majority of Thor's hits whereas Kurse just stood there and took them without even flinching.
Like I said, I'm still giving the match to Thanos but it's not going to be easy for him.
And Thanos has never faced anyone as strong as Kurse. We know Hulk is strong enough to affect Thanos with his hits, just so happened that Thanos was a lot more skilled than him. Still, basing off of their respective fights against Thor we can determine that Kurse is stronger, tougher and more skilled than Hulk... which means it's not going to be a walk in the park for Thanos.
Again, I'm not saying Kurse wins, just saying Thanos would have his hands full.
There is no reason to believe Kurse being stronger than Hulk. Thor has always outmatched Hulk because he is smarter and agile enough.
Also, Hulk never had a chance against Thanos, he caught him off-guard and was dispatched without an issue. Consider also that Thanos wasn't even shown pissed.
So, I think Kurse's strength would oscilate arround Hulk.
But again, Thanos is faster, more agile, and way more durable than Kurse. Plus, Thanos won't be caught off-guard this time. Lastly, Thanos MMA combat style is amazing.
Thor is able to knock Hulk 360 with a single punch whereas numerous punches from him didn't even budge Kurse. That's enough proof that Kurse is stronger than Hulk. Kurse also doesn't seem to feel pain. In almost every thread here where Kurse and Hulk are discussed, majority of us here agree that Kurse operates at a higher level.
Err... you do know that the ability to resist opposing forces is exactly what strength is right? I mean, that's the whole reason why a great way to increase your strength is via resistance training.
The fact that Kurse hits way harder than Hulk means yes, he is stronger. Kurse isnt some slow moving brick, he was actually very fast in combat, fast enough to react to thors hammer when not even looking.
