I was going to ask the same question. What has Thanos done while using the Power Gem? Has he ever used the Power Gem by itself? I saw him slap Captain America's shield and fracture over 90% of it, but was that the Power Gem alone, or were any of the other gems at work? If there's no history that shows him using it alone, how can any one make claims as to how powerful he'd be with it? If he can fully use it, then he would be able to surpass WB Hulk's strength, but then again, he was clobbered on by Thor and it didn't appear to me that he was as strong in those scenes as WB Hulk.
Yes I know what I'm talking about. WBH can not do anything to thanos, maybe he can hurt him a little, but that's it.
Tell me what WBH did? Destroyed a planet with fist bumps? Classic drax has destroyed planets with arm wrestling, and Thanos in his weakest version overpowered him with ease. Classic drax has also destroyed stars alone, with his pure strength, and WBH is nowhere near that level.
Not to mention all this mad power gem thor and Odin fighting Thanos and only stalemating him.
we have seen feats from him only 3 times. however the fact he can bust planets, disintegrate beings equal to Savage Hulk effortlessly just by clashing with red she-hulk, makes assumption take its place. We can't measure what he can do but atleast we have a starting point. Maybe he can do greater things, maybe not. But until then, he bust planets effortlessly and surpasses by more than a mile ANY striking feat Sentry, Superman, Thor or Thanos have ever dished.
Thanos without the Power Gem ran neck and neck with Annihi-Hulk or perhaps a slight bit stronger, and I mean slight bit. Annihi-Hulk was nowhere near as strong as WB Hulk. They weren't even in the same zip code TBH.
