Darkseid gets beat down by the likes of Doomsday. Superman and Wonder Woman aren't close to Thanos in power. There's no way the three of them are beating him. Even if Thanos didn't have the Infinity Reality Gem, he would own these three. Thanos at full power is like Imperiex w/o the probes.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
regular, straight out of the box no prep time thanos with no gimmicks or enhancements? sorry cube, i'll respectfully disagree. these 3 have a good chance. recall thing and thor battled thanos for a prolonged period of time and, more recently, mad thor battled him one on one and did VERY well for quite awhile. thanos had to resort to weaponry to disable thor and here we have 3 thor level beings attacking at once. all 3 are enormously intelligent (smarter, likely, than thor) and very experienced. the omega effect WOULD do damage, though it wouldn't defeat him. but all they need to do is stun him, tie him up with the lasso and it's over. it's held gods and thanos isn't so far above a normal god (falls between regular god and skyfather - he couldn't beat odin, not sure how you say he's at imperiex level) that i could see him breaking free.
Thanos is stronger than Hulk, even peter david said so.
And he can trump his strength up to unknown levels, with cosmic power.
His durability is nearly unmatched.
Then, adding to all this, his body got an upgrade by death.
Peter David never said, "Thanos is stronger than the Hulk." When asked if Hulk was stronger than Thanos, David replied, "Thanos has his own type of strength." Not necessarily physical strength.
To me, saying that the way he did means Thanos is stronger.
He just didn't want to say "Thanos is the strongest there is!!", it'd piss Hulk fanboys off, so he when he was asked "Is Thanos stronger than the Hulk?" he said, "Well, Thanos is in his own weight class".
He's more than likely much stronger than Hulk, and since he can continuously amp said strength with power cosmic, how could hulk ever catch up?
Silver Surfer can do the same thing. He can't contend with Hulk in raw strength.
When have we ever seen Thanos exhibit strength? We know he has it, but he's a tactician, not a brawler. Thanos says Hulk is the only terran he has ever acknowledged, and that he would avoid getting into a brawl with him. That doesn't sound like he's stronger.
I might not be giving Hulk the proper respect. But supersuper strength and durability doesn't mean much to me.
He has suprised me with his durability before though.
When Thanos faught Champ, he just outsmarted him and used his ship's shield to keep Champ from punching him.
Without that ship, Thanos would have lost eventually.
Thanos always exibits strength.
Lifting his ship was a big deal IMO, that ship had to be in the billion ton range.
He might not use it like Hulk uses his, but he certianly is on par or above with Hulk, and can amp it up with cosmic energy like SS does.
Hulk draws strength from a limitless extradimensional source. He can always get bigger, and stronger. Thanos has a limit to the amount of cosmic energy his body can store.
Thanos can project a force field of the same intensity with his power. He doesn't need to fight with Champ. He could just blast Champion into submission. Or, he could mindwipe Champ, and be done with him.
Thano's ship doesn't weigh a billion tons. That's a bit of a stretch. Regardless, Hulk has lifted way more than that. Thanos might be comparable to Hulk in strength, but he certainly isn't stronger.
