Ummm okay.. and this matters how? We see characters re-defined all the time. In fact Thanos looks MUCH different than he was orginally intended to look and be.
Just saying, people tend to act like he's always jobbing to superman or something. He is actually often portrayed in original fashion. He has many feats that put him on universal level. This guy has created beings more powerful than Thor.
MIND RAPE? HECK NO. PURE STRENGTH? NO. THANOS IS STRONGER THAN A WEAKER THOR. SUPERMAN IS STRONGER THAN A STRONGER THOR. DS AND SUPERMAN ARE AROUND THE SAME STRENGTH. THANOS AND DS AND SUPERMAN ARE ALL AROUND THE SAME STRENGTH.
add to that list Durability (by miles) h2h skills, striking force both h2h and energy. True DS has the Omega beams which are more powerful than anything that Thanos has. However, it is rarely used much like thor's Godblast. DS average energy projection beams are inferior to Thanos's. I guess energy projection is debatable depending on how you look at it. However striking power isn't. Also add to that mental defenses and matter manipulation.
I think mind rape is pretty close. Durability and striking power aren't. mental defenses is also thanos. tech is also in thanos favor as it applies to vs. battles
THE WHOLE LSH. THESE GUYS ARE USING TIME MANIPULATION, ENERGY, STRENGTH, MAGNETISM, ENERGY, MATTER MANIPULATION, AND IT DOES NOTHING BUT PUSH THIS GUY THRU A BOOM TUBE.
THIS GUY LOBO HERE IS AROUND SUPERMAN'S STRENGTH LEVEL. HE HAS KICKED AROUND THE RED LANTERN GUY AND THE ENTIRE YOUNG JUSTICE. HE BREAKS HIS HAND ON ROCK FACE.
THIS GUY'S DS'S ENERGY BLAST ARE SERIOUS. HE'S PUTTING DOWN GODS WITH THEM.
NOT TOO MANY GUYS CAN HURT THE SPECTRE UNDER THEIR OWN POWER. ESPECIALLY THE HAL JORDAN SPECTRE.
HE KILLS A GUY MORE POWERFUL THAN LIGHTRAY AND ORION COMBINED. HE ACTUALLY JUST MAKES HIM A PILE OF ASH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HE BLOWS UP THE ROBOT SUPERMAN GUY. NOTHING ELSE HAS EVER HURT THIS GUY THIS BADLY. NOT EVEN THE SINESTRO RING BATTERY BOMB.
AS FOR HAND TO HAND,
DS KNOCKS SUPERMAN INTO THE WALL SO EASILY AND EFFORTLESSLY.
I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE TIME THANOS HAS EVER SMACKED SOMEONE AROUND LIKE SUPERMAN. WITH STRENGTH ONLY.
I'm not even going to reply that dude who posts in all caps. For all I know it's probably Fangirl. Speaking of which... I kinda miss lightyear... true he was a sock but at least he contributed to the forum a lot.
Now onto your points... There is NO question who has better durability between the two. Darkseid has his eyes and face swollen up and begging for quarter against superman. Thanos was hit in the face by a Non Holding back Thor with the PG and all it did was a small trickle of blood and a smile from Thanos. It took DD 3 punches to completly KO DS. When have we ever seen Thanos KO'd from 3 punches from an elite brick.. you don't.. you Thanos treat bricks like weak feebs and pimp slap them away. To go even further... Thanos has no weakest that we know of other than Drax... DS has a radion weakest which is like kryptonite to supes. One radion bullet killed DS. Thanos doesn't have a weakest to an element like that. So yes, it's not even close when it comes to durability
As far as skills go... he trained Gamora to be the deadliest woman in the universe. We are talking about a lady who has mastered what 85% of all known MA in the Universe. We dont' see him doing flashy moves and kicks.. he doesn't need to.. he just needs his pimp hand.
Striking power I don't see them the same at all. I see Thanos as the superior. Maybe not by that much but superior.
Energy projection... as I said.. If you count DS OE.. then sure he has that category. If you count regular energy blasts Thanos's have looked far superior and done more damage on average.
Tech... doesn't have to be a prep thing.. Thanos incorporates tech as part of his standard gear. Examples being Teleporation tech and force block tech etc etc. We aren't talking about tech as in ships or planets full of various weapons. I'm only talking about the tech they carry on them which would apply to vs. battle and Thanos wins this area.
