He'd use people like Luthor and probably even use Darkseid as a minion. He'd use the Spectre for his means as well. Thanos stomps dc earth. That's not how he's portrayed in comics. You really have gone downhill lately. Ever since you backed down from me with this my laptop is broke nonsense.
Wtf last i heard superman was still on dc earth. DS fears him, thanos is smarter and know better. He opens a portal back to MU and high tails outta there faster than superman can say great scotts that is one ugly mofo.
I would like a more detailed analogy by Quanchi. Exactly how would Lex be used by Thanos, as a person who is a master of manipulation. Same goes for Darkseid. How would Thanos appeal to them. What would he do. How does he use the Spectre exactly? Basically, if you were writing the story, how would you write it?
Prep Man: You can use any guy you want. I want to know how you think this would go down exactly.
Diesldude: Why would he hightail it out of there? He doesn't know anything of the place he is. He was randomly dropped there while tending to a crop or whatever nonsense it is he does when he's not conquering shit.
With PIS gone? Of course he wouldn't use Spectre as his minion. And cmon, DS? DS would be the first one to register his arrival, if we're to cut the shit. This isn't BZ Quan, and you are once again saying silly things! I'm not even arguing that Thanos wouldn't whip the DCU"s ass, just that the scenario that you put forth is total fanboy horseshit.
Here's my scenario; Thanos teleports into the DCU, and Batman is waiting with a BatKickFTW!!!! Why? Because Batman is awesome and he rulz!!! You have gone downhil!
If I were writing the story he'd appeal to their motivations. Thanos would bring him Superman and offer him this p.o.w. Thanos would then use Darkseid by promising him ultimate power in an alternate universe, ala marvel. Spectre is someone whose power I could see him either tapping into directly or manipulating him directly if he were hostless.
When Thanos manipulates conquerors or cunning devils such as Mephisto he appeals to their sensibilities/desires. Thanos exploits them because of their wants/desires.
I am not saying Darkseid wouldn't be unaware of his arrival he simply lacks the cunning to deal with someone such as Thanos.
I can and will always support my stances through comics. I walk the walk. Most don't. Diesel has run out of gas.
uhhhhh I really doubt that thanos beats dc earth. there are thousands of heroes that would team up and I'm sure the villains wouldn't want a power hitter like thanos running around. dc earth would feed thanos his own poop after they beat it out of him.
Awesome debating tactic! Firebomb everyone that disagrees with you! DS obviously lacks the cunning to deal with Thanos! He didn't do squat during COIE. Oh that's right, he ended a multiversal threat remotely from a different dimension. He couldn't do shit against Thanos.
Ds wasn't even directly involved in facing the Anti Monitor. Darkseid also used Luthor's unique energies and tech. Darkseid didn't even defeat the Anti Monitor. Darkseid stalemated Izaya for years. Izaya was never a brilliant plotter. This was an eternal stalemate until Ares killed Izaya. He achieved what Darkseid not for years.
If by "not directly involved," you mean forcing an energy beam out of AL's eyes that led to AM's immediate disposal? Yep, your right. Silly.
A+B logic on full. Highfather sucks in your opinion, he stalemated DS, IYO, so DS sucks. Awesome debating!! So if we're talking about low showings, can we use Final Crisis? A dying DS led to the reboot of the DCU multiverse all by his lonesome. When has Thanos died and ended the Marvel universe without augmentation?

Any great or semi great villain has screwed with entire teams such as Loki, Dr. Doom, etc.
Darkseidi is cunning just not to the level Thanos is on. Darkseid was safely away from the conflict. But sure he pressed a button to use his own tech and Luthor to aid the heroes who put themselves on the line.
Izaya was Darkseid's equal in terms of preparation since they always stalemated in terms of winning the war. Let's discuss Darkseid's role in Final Crisis. Batman got the drop on him. Despite the anti life equation being used and one sided prep they repelled Darkseid and all his new gods. That was an awful showing of manipulation and cunning since he completely and utterly failed.
He asked for me to give a scenario. I did. Thanos' resume is far more impressive than beating dc's earth.
I gave you months. You accepted another battlezone behind my back and made no mention of a laptop being broken at the time iirc. I walk the walk you just talk it.
Any great or semi great villain has screwed with entire teams such as Loki, Dr. Doom, etc.
A multiversal threat, from a different dimension, with the push of a button, while the rest of the multiverse didn't know what to do? Including the original Monitor? Show me how Loki or Dr. Doom did that with planning. It would be on par with Doom saying he was watching the Beyonder all through the Secret Wars, and he had a plan, and boom, out through Mjolinr came a beam that led to BY's death

You contradict yourself here. DS is not cunning because he places himself off of the battlefield? Silly.
And because Luthor and Co. were heroic, it made him less cunning? That's not a good argument. I think you're talking about when the Guardians sent their team to the begining of time to prevent Krona from opening the portal? I thought you were good at this!?!

So by got the drop on him, you mean that he shot him with a bullet, and then got killed (Batman). Then DS survived; and turned into a singularity, and is still alive today? Because, by your own arguments on this board, all the DS's are the same one. So the DCNU is the same as the PC DS by your logic. That makes DS the most prolific character ever. He has survived every Crisis DC has thrown at him and has remained intact. Does Thanos have anywhere near that kind of reality manipulation endurance? I think not.
