But still, that's all he attempted. No other blasts. No physicality. No shields. Nothing else. All that tells us is that Runner is fast enough to avoid Thanos' eye-beams. It doesn't tell us where Runner's personal power stands in comparison to that of Thanos. I'm essentially saying that if Runner would have straight up overpowered Thanos(like he did to Surfer), said showing would have been FAR more impressive... Which is true whether you like it or not.
...Though I suppose if Starlin had allowed Thanos to utilize abilities like shielding, Runner's 'awe-factor' would have dropped significantly, given that all of his attacks would have been completely ineffectual. /shrug

a.) That is pre-res Thanos, who was weaker than post-res Thanos. The latter is who I'm discussing.
b.) Pre-res Thanos still caught Marv and proceeded to one-shot him.
c.) I'm not saying Runner's showing vs. Thanos was unimpressive. I'm simply saying that if he would've straight up overpowered Thanos(like he did to Surfer), said showing would have been even more impressive... Which, again, is absolutely true.
d.) Is it possible for you not to lowball a character in every thread you participate in? Honest question, because I can't remember you doing so in recent years.

That Captain Marvel showing is meaningless, since when Death rezzed Thanos to carryout his IG mission, she empowered him : (please log in to view the image)
Runner took on a Thanos more powerful than the one Captain Marvel fought (who by the way was also rocking 2 or 3 Infinity Gems by the time he faced off vs Runner).

I never said otherwise, so I'm still not sure why you even posted those irrelevant Mar-Vell/Thanos scans, if not to lowball..?
Anything brought up would just be downplayed anyway, so what's the point? Unlike most of the faction you debate with, I don't feel the need to argue just to get a word in these days. It's boring and tiresome.
Someone else may indulge your request, though. /shrug

1) Lol...fanboy fail...Surfer was clearly thrown; note Runner holding Surfers wrists, then the twisting of his body as he flings Surfer at the planet.
2) Your reading comprehension sucks."I summoned the Power Cosmic, but he was an Elder." Clearly Surfer was acknowledging the fact that Runner was superior to him...only in the world of a Superman fan would that not compute.
3) Thats right, Surfer NEVER claimed weakness....why is that!?? Any idea's? Maybe, just mayyyybe, because Surfer wss not weakened!
If he didn't use any of the Gems, how did he stop Runner?
Just answer that question so you can simultaneously confirm of truth of the matter and your status as one who willingly lies in debates about fictional characters...
The argument for Runner not actually throwing Surfer to the planet actually looks better for Runner.
The throw or impact didn't do much to Surfer. What almost killed Surfer was Runner out powering Surfer in their contest of strength.
After that Surfers, limp almost lifeless body fell or was thrown to the nearby planet.
Good job Abhi
Based on Abhis contributions to the thread Runner should have no problem with these 2

To be honest, without the space gem Runner would have still been able to blitz Thanos. We don't know how much Thanos would have been affected, unless we go by the writer's intentions (Thanos would have indeed lost due to him resorting to using the time gem instead of beating him straight up). The writer's intentions are clear. So runner is indeed formidable.
This would be a good fight I think. Could go either way.
Thanos sustained absolutely no injuries to his person from Runner's blitz. Aside from making a few empty boasts/threats to that effect, Runner just targeted/destroyed Thanos' chair with his blitz. Truth is, we don't know what would have actually happened had Runner physically assaulted Thanos--he may have owned him just the same, or he may not have been able to cause any lasting damage.
Of course the Runner brigade is bound to disagree, but truth is truth. /shrug

Thanos was also clearly and purposely playing helpless to get his way, which he got. As right after that, he has no problems standing up and walking on empty space as he insults his intelligence and overconfidence.

It is true, but keep in mind that his chair was also a creation of Death's IIRC. It seems like a far-fetched point but it has even also withstood Surfer's attack upon his first meeting with Thanos
