Well one Thanos was motivated my Death. He now no longer has that kind of motivation. Not to say he has no will or determation but "Love" in comics is the biggest and Thanos no longer has that drive.
As for adapting
Which could be look at two different way
1. Like you mention it they couldn't handle it
2. The presence is too over whelming for anyone person but god to have.
Heck Both the IG and HOTU were both used by other beings one being a plain mortal "Hotu" and the other warlock.
Thanos wasn't motivated by death in marvel's the end.
1.Because they lack the experience to wield such power along with the proper mindset. Thanos has both.
2.For the Spectre and cronus not Thanos.
The hotu was only wielded directly by Thanos and akh took a long time to adapt to only a portion of the power. No, it's not apples to oranges. Thanos had the willpower to adapt in moments to supremacy. ds can make no such claims. Thanos wins.
Akhenaten and the celestial order never controlled THOTU. They just let it sit there and siphoned energy off of it with machines because they couldn't do anything to it.
The ig coul dbe wielded by anyone. It would come down to willpower and I see Thanos getting the better of warlock hence the reason he was selected to obtain the hotu.
A mortal to tap into what? What are you talking about?
No, I am going by the facts and their histories.
Thanos had to give it up. Ds had his power taken away from him and was outplayed by the source when he called Orion into the fray.
Thanos has more impressive willpower and the only person who ever defeated Thanos was himself. This is Thanos' fight to lose and since he usually puts down the competition first it's Thanos' win here.
as far as will power alone is concerned, i am of the mind that darkseid has accomplished far more than thanos has.
ie. through sheer force of will, and under his own power, darkseid essentially flushed the whole of DC down the cosmic toilet. thanos, on the other hand, could never dream of accomplishing a will power feat on that level, without the aid of some uber artifact.
that's all i'm saying...
strange... i don't recall TOAA ever saying that...
Thanos's willpower took control of the power of TOAA. That's like if Darkseid met the presence and stole his power. Definitely a greater willpower feat.
But obtaining great power through artifacts seems a bit easier in Marvel. A weekend quest and bam, you're atop the celestial order. Not to mention how ultimate just means that your energy blasts are even stronger than that of the LT.
TOAA ultimately allowed thanos to control it's power. if the presence allowed darkseid to control it's power, he could do so as well.
i understand there was a certain degree of will power involved on thanos' part. however, to say that feat trumps darky's feat of willing the entire DC multiverse to crumble [under his own power] is... meh.
I don't think Ds could survive the raw power or adapt the way in which Thanos did to become the supreme being. He doesn't have the experience to do so.
Ds had the ale though throughout that entire story and that was the reason he defeated the new gods. He needed an angle himself it seems.
I have seen Superman break Darkseid's will before. Just saying.
