Ok, here we go again...

Ikaris is the Prime Eternal so that puts him near Zuras in terms of power which rivals Thanos.
As for the High Evolutionary, what makes you say he couldn't hold his own with Odin if he did with Galactus.
Because he DIDN'T hold his own with Galactus. Did you even read that issue...or are you just copying what you've read on here from others? FF 175...they started out with a casual conversation, which intensified to threats, then a few blasts were exchanged, but missed, then Galactus nailed him SQUARE with an eye blast...immobilizing him and sending him into the Negative Zone.
No 'holding his own' for the Evo...I call it a clear-cut victory for Galactus.
PE Ikaris is at least equal to Zuras, who was able to battle Zeus. Zeus is an equal of Odin in terms of power. Thus PE Ikaris could hold his own against Thanos.
And you base that grand assessment on what? On the title of 'Prime Eternal'?
Well I agree Thanos putting down Thing and Thor at the same time is impressive. However, what I'm having trouble understanding is that you assume Apocalypse can't do the same.
Don't assume that I assume anything...I was merely responding to your boasting about Apocalypse being able to get past the X-Men B-team...one against six. Do you really think Thanos would have any trouble against them??
Since Apocalypse Stronger than Hulk and highly versatile he could also manage beating Thor and Thing at the same time.
When has it ever been proven that Apocalypse is stronger than the Hulk? Perhaps you refer to when he recruited Hulk to become War. Apoc was immobilizing Hulk, (who was having power fluctuations and shrapnels inside his brain), for a few seconds, while trying to tell him he just wanted to talk. Then Hulk stopped, and Apoc talked him into becoming a horseman.
Hardly a display of brute strength on the part of Apoc.
It was one-sided. Apocalypse teleported to the High Evolutionary and proceeded to lecture him on evolution while still staying several steps ahead in the fight.
Again, that was not a fight...more like a philosophical conversation, with a little sparring. The Evo even considered forcing Apoc back to continue, after he teleported away, but considered it to be a waste of time.
I didn't say Thanos couldn't beat PE Ikaris, Thanos probaly could, but he couldn't easily dominate him.
Why not?
The Silver Surfer is powerful, but I doubt he could humiliate Apocalypse. Since Apocalypse is so versatile he could adapt to the way the Surfer fights.
Yet he can't adapt to the way Cyclops fights...you really think he stands any chance against the Silver Surfer?!? What the hell are you smoking?
I'm not so sure since Apocalypse when he is healthy is as versatile as you can get. Odin probably would have a hard time hitting Apocalypse since he can easily shift his body to maneuver around any attack.
Laughable statement, to say the least. Considering Cyclops was able to optic blast him into submission, Odin should have absolutely no trouble. Apocalypse had trouble fighting Loki, and was only able to contain him with the help of Caliban. You really think he's on par with Odin?
In 5,000 years Apocalypse has accomplished a lot such as periodically through history altering beings in order to become future henchmen. Apocalypse is responsible for Mr. Sinister, Exodus, Ozymandias, and Archangel each from a different part of human history. Apocalypse also takes over the world for over a thousand years in the future.
So he's a mad scientist...big deal. Who isn't? He isn't even half as accomplished as Dr. Doom...who has even toyed with Ultron...making him his thrall...a guy that could probably give old blue lips a run for his money.
As for Apocalypse having incalculable strength , his strength is definitely incalculable. However, Thanos, Morg, Angry Hulk, Gladiator, Hercules to name a few all have incalculable strength. But, since Apocalypse can change his size, density, and composition Apocalypse could raise his strength to an even higher degree than the ones mentioned.
Sheer speculation on your part.
Apocalypse does overcome virtually any and everything put in his way.
Except a well placed optic blast.
I'm not convinced since Thanos under his own power is impressive.
Then you obviously haven't read much Thanos over the years. Drop that silly X-book and read something more interesting. Read 'Thanos Quest'...which many people regard as his shining moment...where went on his mission to collect the Infinity Gems. Going toe-to-toe with Tyrant and Odin were also under his own power. It must really get under the skin of X-fanboys that Apocalypse has not been given the same attention and respect.
But, what you might be referring to is when he had the Infinity Gauntlet, the Heart of the Universe, etc. Which doesn't qualify as saying he's the stronger villain.
I made no mention of Infinity Gauntlet, or HoTU. Nice try.
I said I could see Apocalypse loosing to Darkseid's omega effect, which wipes people out of existence. But, if Darkseid doesn't use it than Apocalypse would dominate him.
O-k...whatever you say. rolleyes1
Once again you've proven that you don't know jack about the subject at hand.
Thanks for playing...call me when you're ready for another round.
Originally posted by SmaxxerThen how come he had no qualms about slapping him (and Drax) at the same time? What you conveniently neglect to mention is that he said infamous line during 'Thanos Quest'...before the 'Infinity Gauntlet'. Ask him today and I highly doubt he's afraid of anybody. Good try, come again.
I agree with most of your post (not everything), but Thanos is afraid of Hulk (his own words).Apocalypse isn't.
Maybe. Who knows.
Dude, you're a tool.
