Not sure why you insist on attempting to separate Thanos from the Infinity Gauntlet. That's like mentioning Dr. Jekyll sans his potion.
Anywho, one resource regarding the Heart of the Universe:

Does Thanos contain the power of the infinity gems now? If not, why are we including a power he only had for a six comic run? If he does, I understand.
Thanks for link. I just read up on it. Heres the quote that loses me some-
Thanos would not be allowed to hold the power cosmic. Even with his new self-awareness and new inner peace, his ego would force him to absorb everything in the universe after getting attacked by the gods and heroes of earth. After Adam Warlock forced him to realize the futility of his actions, Thanos gave up all to restore all that he had destroyed.
Sounds just like the infinity guantlet storyline to me, but who did Thanos give the power up to? Adam? And, who did not allow Thanos to hold the power? Himself? Sorry, just a bit confused.
***Hey Never, i'm still curious as to what you think about the comparison between the DC ubers and the "Impossible Man"? Are they comparible or are the ubers way more powerful? Sorry, just trying to catch up some.
Because one more often than not includes Thanos with The Infinity Gauntlet when creating potential matchups, regardless of whether or not he currently possesses it. This is not just me. Example?

Would you prefer Thanos with the Cosmic Cube?
Regarding your questions, you answered them both yourself 😉
The Impossible Man. Purple costume? Pointy head? Have not heard that name in about 20 years...LoL, we called him "Pop Up Man."
Mmm, they are capable of molecular manipulation. Lots of DC's ubers can destroy and recreate entire multiverses.
They do not compare at all.
Thanks for all the information.
I messed up with my question. I meant the DC imps in my comparison to the "Impossible Man". I realize he's a goofy character, but it came to me that I thought I read a book where there was an entire planet of "Impossible People". I know for sure that he hooked up with a female species of his kind and they had a litter of kids. Just imagining the untapped power and madness of an entire planet of those characters. He could after all, do just about anything.
Going bak a little about Thanos and Darkseid. When DC and Marvel met up Thanos found Darkseid who he thought was his counterpart (other half). Darkseid challenged Thanos to a duel to the death and of course Thanos accepted the events across the pair of universes would come to echo this titanic struggle. All of creation would learn of the existance of two brothers...beings _beyond_ gods. Countless billions of years before, the pair had come into a conflict so vast, it destroyed the pre-existing universe and created a new one. The forces unleashed seperated the brothers...and their shattered conciousnesses gave birth to a multiverse. Over the eons they finally regained their sentience, but without any knowledge of one another. Now, after recent cosmos-shaking events...the brothers had once again become aware of one another, and were prepared to renew their timeless conflict. These two obviously being Thanos and Darkseid. The merge also brought 2 beings in to one and one union this was Thanoseid (Darkseid and Thanos). I thought that to be funny. Anyway. However, the amalgam universe would be short-lived...and the union would be found to be the result of a last-ditch effort of the Living Tribunal and the Spectre to save the cosmos. Later Thanos found himself on Earth, and came into conflict with Lobo. The pair battled, threatening to destroy the surrounding city. Thanos, eager to find Darkseid, finally brushed Lobo aside. Soon Darkseid arrived and before the pair could grapple, they found themselves opposed by some of both universes most powerful heroic beings. Soon, the Living Tribunal journeyed to the Nexus of the Multiverse in an attept to convince the brothers to reconcile, and instead found the pair battling...a conflict which had already begun to tear reality asunder. As the brothers battled, the skies of Earth became filled with blood...blood which rained down upon the surface of the planet. This sight moved Thanos enough to state that it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The Brothers clashed again, ripping the pair of noble beings asunder...a move which allowed the brothers to see into the souls of the dying men. The nobility and sacrifice they saw in these two unique men so moved them, that the fueding cosmic brothers ceased their battle, clasped hands and admitted in unison that his counterpart had done well. The brothers then parted...and reality was restored, returning all involved to their proper place in the multiverse. And there u go. Thats wat happened when Thanos and Darkseid met up 😄
Apocalypse would beat Thanos and if you know anything about the two opponents you would have to agree with me. Apocalypse is indestructible, he can alter his mass immensely, he can shape shift to his hands to make extremely powerful projectiles and he can alter matter! Alter matter people! This means he can absorp ambient energy, and even create forcefields his powers are incalculable! Thanos isnt shit have you ever seen him challenge any one wiithout the infinity gauntlet? Didnt think so ! Thanos needs the infinty gauntlet to be a fromidable opponent for Apocalypse. And just to set the record straight no one is more powerful than Galactus, he eats planets!The most powerful form of power is cosmic and he is the master of it.And if that isnt enough for you Galactus created Silver Surfer with one finger!And Silver surfer has strenght to match Colossus', he is totally indestructible and has a control over cosmic energy, He could level a large state with a force blast!
/\
No Way!
Thanos is a titan, apocolypse is just a mutant.
Thanos is almost a cosmic being, he was the ultimate being in the marvel universe for a time, and defeated galactus.
Apocolypse might be a threat to the earth, but thanos is a threat to the universe if he became evil.
It took apocolypse 5000 years or so and he still has not conquered his home planet (even when most on his planet are weaker than him), whereas Thanos conquered Titan in almost no time at all, (even though most titans were not much weaker than him)
And just to set the record straight no one is more powerful than Galactus, he eats planets!The most powerful form of power is cosmic and he is the master of it.And if that isnt enough for you Galactus created Silver Surfer with one finger!And Silver surfer has strenght to match Colossus', he is totally indestructible and has a control over cosmic energy, He could level a large state with a force blast!
And you call yourself "Marvelguru?" 🙄
Galactus, most powerful? Purchase Excalibur #61 and read it, please?
Ever heard of Eternity? Death? The One Above All? The Living Tribunal? They are all quite a bit above Galactus.
Thanos defeated The Living Tribunal. This puts Galactus where?
Phoenix defeated Galactus. Drops him down even further!
Thanos would defeat both Galactus AND Apocalypse. Matters not if Apocalypse is "indestructible," what would happen when Thanos dropped him into a black hole? Scattered his molecules across the cosmos?
Surely you jest!
He also defeated eternity. And yes he did have the infinity gauntlet but even with out it im know he could destroy Apocolypse. I mean Thanos has got what class 100 strength??, teleportation, telepathic powers and psi abilities, he can also disrupt and manipulate matter. Also his powers were increased by Death when she returned him to life, giving him the might to fight such powerful beings as Tyrant, and Odin (King of Norse Gods) on nearly even ground. His body is tremendously resistant to injury, can go without food, water and even air for an indefinate period. His body is also able to withstand a total vaccum (such as in deep space). His abilities to manipulate cosmic energy have been increased to a high degree, and he can utilize it to grant himself near-invulnerability, or to project the energy from his eyes or hands in the form of light, heat or concussive force. He is also highly intelligent, with a highly cunning and logical mind. He possesses not only the Advanced knowledge of the Titans, but also technology and skills gained from all over the Universe. Thanos is also a hightly skillled combatant, possessing knowledge of many different styles of combat from throughout the universe. So there u go. Apocalypse is no match for Thanos 😄

Ok the Inifintiy gaunlet ended when LT seperated Thanos with a thought. Never, Galactus was very weak when Phoenix fought him. Galactus can't "lose" a battle because it is a phoecy that says Galactus must stay for a "final battle" and can't die until then........
can someone name a couple of comics with Thanos in them where he kicks total ass? I have the whole Inifinity Guantlet series and he kicks ass and i have a few Silver Surfer comics where he fights Thanos and they go to an almost stand still. I'm really interested in seeing Thanos beat Living Tribunal...which comic and what # is that one?

Did not know "losing" a battle was commensurate with dying...? No prophecy states that Galactus cannot lose a battle. Galactus is, however, a fundamental thread of the fabric of the Marvel Universe.
Regarding Phoenix...well Phoenix defeated him...like, easily.

What? What series did you read? The series that I possess has Adam Warlock stating that "Thanos is truly invincible, utterly omnipotent. Our allies' power is less than nothing against Thanos' might."
Allies consisted of Galactus, Eternity, The Living Tribunal, two Celestials, Adam Warlock, Silver Surfer, The Avengers, Quasar...The Living Tribunal refused to intervene. EVERYONE attacked and vaporized Thanos - but for a split second, because with a mere thought he trapped them ALL in suspended animation.
In the last issue Thanos was tricked after he discarded his corporeal body and Nebula got a hold of The Infinity Gauntlet as he was in spirit form. Nebula trapped him in cement, remember?
So um...what issue did you read?
