Who is the weakest character that can beat Thanos when he weakened himself to only using the power gem during the Infinity Gauntlet? And what majority would he/she take?
I was wondering...Adam had the abstracts at the ready when the heroes were fighting...You'd think he would have deployed them while Thanos was weakened or something.
I wouldn't call that weakened since he used the best gem out of the bunch which made him completely invulnerable. If the abstracts would have attacked, they probably would have failed at dropping him which would have resulted in him powering up.
Well compare it. With the IG going full strength he basically no sold all of the abstracts firing on him together. With the PG he was sent flying by hulk and drax.
Well this is where we have to disagree. Ha ha funny this time I'm repping Thanos, and you aren't. You losing your touch man? Thanos would kill Galactus IMO if he had possession of the Power gem. His blasts, TP, stength and any other offensive natural weapon would be increased by the amount that he willed himself to be. I mean without CIS or plot to nerf the true potential of what that gem is supposed to grant it's user Galactus would be beaten down nearly as bad as when Krona asked him the question.
I thought Thanos toned it down drastically to put on a show for Mistress D? I mean before he did this and had full power of the gauntlet, didn't he kill Gladiator, and was clutching the Hulk by the throat as he too died? It was in a Silver Surfer comic I believe.
the first part was from a silver surfer tie-in where mephisto tried to trick thanos into touching every mind in the universe in order to steal the gauntlet from his "mindless" body. he thought he was successful but then the gauntlet appeared to be acting on it's own and started chocking him and thanos revealed that he was on to him from the start
You're taking that out of context. There is also a big power gap between Galactus and Mephisto outsaide of his realm. Well, Adam didn't want to kill all the heroes... He was weakened. At least from the power of the full IG.
I'd say Odin could come close, but no do it. Probably someone a little above Odin would be able to take it from him. RKT mabye?

That still doesn't take away from what I said though.
I also feel safe at saying that him withstanding attacks from those abstracts had a lot to do with the PG. None of the other gems makes you completely invulnerable.
No, but they give you many abilities that the power gem does not. If it weren't for the time gem, Kronos would have just BFR'd Thanos to 10 million BC.
If it weren't for the reality gem, they could have just warped him out of existence.
If it weren't for the mind gem, I'm sure between the (what 12, was it?) abstracts attacking him, he would have been mindraped.
The power gem helped against the heroes, as they used mostly physical attacks. When fighting abstracts, as has been stated many times, you have to fight battles on much more than the physical plane.
So no, Thanos didn't choose the "best gem". Just the one that best fit his circumstances.

The abstracts attack in a lot more than physical power though. Mistress love, sire hate, and abstract entities were trying very powerful methods that had little to do with physical durability. Without the gauntlet having him at full power the PG alone wouldn't have been enough in my opinion.
