Ok. Do you know who Thane is? Let me give you a little backstory for the uninitiated. He was a regular joe nobody, got hit by the terrigan mist and found out he was the son of Thanos. He was used by one of the Black Order to double cross Thanos, later went on to be duped again by J'son whilw being mocked by Maw. After get owned by some new villian chick of the month he went back to Maw lost everything got wrecked by Glaive, depowered thrown in jail. Got duped again into working for Death. Put together a team to kill Thanos, got killed by Nebula iirc his death sparked a transformation into a phoenix avatar. went on a killing spree in deaths name. went after dad, was convinced not to kill him. later regretted it. went after thanos found him, fought him, lost. phoenix was stripped from him. begged for forgiveness from daddy thanos. thsnos left him imprisoned in the god quarry. the end.

his whole existence has been a pawn to others. he is not a fighter or a warrior or brave. hes a guy with daddy issues who found out his dad is the biggest bad in the universe. he has no respectable feats. oops i lied he can encase people in amber (think han solo trapped in carbonite) but he isnt fluent in his power. hes literally done nothing of note.

also every phoenix avatar is not the same. Rachel, Cyclops, Jean,Thane were all avatars and none were equal. Its the same thing with whoever holds mjolnir...Odinson, Foster, Masterson are not the same, or whoever weilds the power cosmic, Surfer, Nova, Firelord or whoever wears the venom symbiote...Brock, Parker, Gargan or whoever has the infinity stones Doom, The Hood, Thanos etc...just because you have the power does not mean you know how to use said power or apply it.

Rachel had the PF and she was a complete idiot with the power. Nekrom with a sliver of it out did her.

The P5 were incompetent hosts and Sinister was able to use his Madalyne clones to steal the PF from them.

You’re still naming personal traits nearly totally irrelevant to his battle with Thanos. Mike Tyson was a pawn to others. He still knocked his opponents out. His powers, defeats, etc, that you reference are all before gaining the PF, so are to a significant degree irrelevant.

Not all Kryptonians are the same but all Kryptonians have top tier power. All heralds are Herald level. Odinson, BRB, Masterson and Jane are all in the same general category even with individual differences.

All GL’s reside within a certain range. And the particular range that Thane resides in is completely speculative.

Thanos>>>Zuras=Zeus

Canonically Thanos is far more powerful than Zeus, who has zero feats on skyfather tier besides beating down the Avengers and WBH.

Darkseid said Superman is his peer, which automatically means he's fodder in this fight. Only his omega beams, if they have the omega effect, can meaningfully contribute to the fight.

Darkseid is easily more powerful than either Thanos or Zeus.

That’s like saying that Superman gets overpowered by Kryptonite.

Easily. He will beat the shit out of him if he goes into Darkseid beating mode.

Darkseid is not dependent on Superman for power scaling and Superman has been compared to a lot of powerful beings.

Did Thane do the same with Thanos?

IMO, it’s just a theory that Drax is Thanos kryptonite. I believe Drax was created to be POWERFUL ENOUGH to kill Thanos. That’s why he was shown destroying planets, ripping out the core of stars, etc. This is storytelling. There was no indication that he was kryptonite. Writer’s intentions are clear.


If Drax is indeed Thanos kryptonite then Surfer can easily beat Thanos as he can detect this weakness.

Did you read the scan? It only says that he was “given power beyond imagination” and that refers to the power he is given when first resurrected in his original form on Titan. His resurrection in Alaska results in his current weaker form. It is in this weakest form that he kills Thanos. I recall Brevoort stating somewhere that the power Drax loses is refocused into Thanos specific lethality.

Beyond this, Thanos doesn’t even attempt to defend himself from Drax after Death tells him that it is time.
