Because Current Thor has as much power as Odin plus mastery over the Asgardian runes. Surtur killed Odin and he expressed fear of Thor in a recent issue. When I say 'far' more powerful, I just mean enough that it is noticeable.
hmm....i thought classic Odin had mastery of the runes too..he seemed basically omnicient...doesnt Odin have mastery of the runes by his mythological definition?...which he acquired shortly after creation, in Norse mythology.
The mythological Odin had mastery over the runes, I don't know if Marvel Odin did or not, but I know it was understood that Current Thor is more powerful than Odin. Maybe it's due to the fact that he gained more wisdom than Odin ever did by putting out both his eyes instead of one, or the fact that he gained the Odinpower in addition to his own natural strength and Mjolnir.
For many of the people saying Thanos is too powerful based on his battles with Odin and Tyrant. However, just because Apocalypse battles with Cable and the Xmen it doesn't mean that he is less powerful. If you look through Age of Apocalypse, Cable's Future, and the Tweleve the Xmen diddn't beat Apocalypse based on power. They beat Apocalypse because Mr. Sinister setup ways to bring out Apocalypse during his hibernation.
As far as power goes Thanos may have the Power Cosmic, superstrength surpassing the Hulk, and Durability that can withstand beatings from Odin. That being said I find it hard to believe that Apocalypse wouldn't be able to manage these same feats. Since Apocalypse could become a giant possibly a thousand feet or so. In addition Apocalypse can tap an extradimesional source allowing him to increase his strength and degree of power he takes in. In addiion Apocalypse can alter his atomic structure. The way I see it is that Thanos would most likely get overwhelmed by Apocalypse, which result in him retreating.
Thanos is one of the most powerful begins in the universe, Thanos as an eternal his powers dwarfs Apocalypse literally. Thanos like all eternal can manipulate cosmic energies for numerous use increase strength, speed, durability, agility, mental, energy projection. Thanos is over 10,000 years old only eternal that are older than him is mentor 40,000, forgotten one 35,000, Interloper 35,000, Ikaris 20,000. He study black arts of the eternal increase his body output with bionic implants, tremendous meditation. Thanos powers are on lower skyfahter level like Zuras former leader of the eternal, Thanos is one of the most powerful eternal/titans he has fought more powerful beings that apocalypse has ever dreamed of and won or stalemate them silver surfer, adam warlock, thor, the thing, the maker (true beyonder), fallen One, Tyrant, The Runner, Grandmaster, The Champion of the Universe, Captain Marvel, in-betweener, the collector, x-man, the hulk, drax the destroyer, Odin most of these people will just b***h slap apocalypse like $2 ho and apocalypse is only a mutant not a god not even a low skyfather. Thanos is smarter, stronger and powerful then he is, adam warlock even stated that they have never seen Thanos true power he holds back, even Odin gave the titan respect that was able too tap into some dark cosmic power of some sort.
And where talking about apocalypse who can't even get pass the x-men, avengers, cable, magneto, eternal etc. Apocalypse was even scare of Onslaught, and you think he can f**k with a being who had destroyed half the marvel universe with a snap of finger(infinity gaunlet), and later blink the universe out of existence with the heart of the universe. Apocalypse has wet dreams about those feats, that he will neverhappen for him at all in his life.
Thanos will make apocalypse his lap dog. You know how darkseid be punking kalibak samething with apocalypse like a little b***h.
Thanos 10/10.

Well until that day comes that Apocalypse battles beings on par with Odin and Tyrant, he'll always be regarded as inferior to Thanos in every respect.

Thanos does not have the 'Power Cosmic'...though he does wield tremendous cosmic power.
That being said I find it hard to believe that Apocalypse wouldn't be able to manage these same feats.
Well give us a real reason why...Apocalypse couldn't withstand an optic blast from Cyclops, a TK attack from Jean Grey, and more recently a whisper from Black Bolt. You really think he can go toe-to-toe with beings like Odin and Tyrant???
Since Apocalypse could become a giant possibly a thousand feet or so. In addition Apocalypse can tap an extradimesional source allowing him to increase his strength and degree of power he takes in. In addiion Apocalypse can alter his atomic structure.
Size means absolutely nothing...Sentinels are friggin huge, but get chopped down to size by the X-Men with regularity. As far as his 'extradimensional power' goes, until he's actually displayed this uncanny ability in a comic book, I won't believe it.
The way I see it is that Thanos would most likely get overwhelmed by Apocalypse, which result in him retreating.
Well then you'd have to be an ignorant X-fanboy on crack, and I hope you're not that.
He is on crack. Thanos has throw down with some of marvels big dogs and still standing. Apocalypse would get rape by tyrant and odin, please apcoalypse isn't even in the top 20 of the most powerful beings.

I guy who takes over the world for 2000 years isn't in the top 20 most powerful beings....you must have been looking at a old out dated list....early 1940's I'd be guessing no...
