Thanos vs....YOU

Well, alright then. I've still got to show some to DC though. Instead of Phantom Stranger and Johnny Thunder, I'll muster the Thessalian and Cascade from Sovereign Seven. Since I seem to be the only S7 fn around, Cascade is an iron-willed interdemensional/interstellar/tactical teleporter who's a brick to boot. Surprise team attack that Thanos won't expect: Thessaly and Warlock cause Cascade's soul to once again manifest as the avatar of Nike, goddess of victory (as seen in S7 issues two and three), after Thanos coldcocks her (which he surely would). Nike's avatar has a sort of nemesis type power where her powers adapt and expand to counter opponents and obstacles. Her upper limits are unknown. If it goes on too long, Cascade's soul would cleave from her body and be fully Nike. Luckily Warlock's around to put her back. 🙂

dr. strange
black bolt

strange puts shield then black bolt yells

shield on both bb and himself

Strange
Black Bolt
Martian Manhunter
Drax avec Power Gem
G.L (Hal Jordan)
Juggernaught Clasic (He is a good guy now, but he's back to full power)

If Not

Flash

M.M directs the whole battle from a distance, E.G. Where his telepathy can do alot of damage and he is not being hurt by fire.

Strange has his own version of penance stare. As you said before this would do some serious damage.

Drax with the intelligence of M.M. can blast him from a distance.

As can Hal. While Juggernaught goes toe to toe with him. When Thanos is worn down, B.B. provides the fatal blow. E.G. Its no over until the Inhuman sings. Thanos is not winning this. 🙂

demi, i SERIOUSLY think you are overestimating thanos's psionic abilities - and some of his other abilities as well. mindblasts?? mental domination? this is your thread and all, but i gotta see examples of him doing this. i've never seen thanos mindblast anyone, and as far as i know, his psionic ability is still undetermined and what HAS been shown has been telepathy of the kind you mentioned. nothing 'offensive.' he also has no matter manipulation powers per se, though i think he has shown a limited ability to heal others. his powers are his strength, his destructive blasts and his intelligence. i'm thinking he's plenty tough enough, without adding to his power set . . .

in any event, seeing as how i didn't factor in this psionic ability you are crediting him with, i'll change gl to xavier and fate to manhunter. combined with strange, these 2 will CERTAINLY be able to shield physical OR psionic blasts, and will also be able to prevent the mental domination you were hinting at.

that makes it strnge, mm, x, flash and ww.

if thanos wants them, he'll have to lower his shield, and when he does . . . can you say hog-tied?

LEONIDES I CANT BELIEVE YOU MISSED THOSE THINGS! thanos has the abilty to create huge destructive mindblasts, mental domination is much weaker but still there, NO MATTER MANIPULATION POWERS? thanos has shown on many occations to have vast matter and even energy manipulative powers. and thanos is know to be nearly impervious to all kinds of mental attacks while physically his skin is nearly invelnuerable to all kinds of damage including psychic and cosmic, he has enough stength to simultaneuosly engage hulk and thor in battle for a long time, he is VERY powerful. much muich more so than even the strongest heralds like morg, surfer and nova{but probably not as powerful as the fallen one or invisible man}.

Was that english?

Demigawd's knowledge of S7 = 0. 🙁

If someone else would like to take this, feel free, lol.

Well, if Strange's shields are powerful enough, then surely Thanos' shields are powerful enough. Besides, Thanos has a month of prep. He'll have a convenient teleportation device or hologram generator to get out of the way of the blast, appear behind Blackbolt and then....

He re-programmed Fallen One, a being who challenged Galactus. He mentally put down Beyonder, keeping her forever on the brink of death but not dying. He penetrated G's mental shields, something Xavier and Magneto combined couldn't do without causing a huge feedback. He's pretty potent telepathically. What's worse...in his month of prep, he can pick up the mind gem.

matter manipulation? Aside from the healing and the regeneration, he put together a house again that was totally destroyed, better than it was before. He did some transmuting as well (though there's some debating going on now about that on another board). Matter manipulation isn't his strongest point, but it's there.

Now, your new team...Xavier is going to be the weak link. Mutant gene-shutting down devices are all over the place, so Thanos can turn Xavier off in a second. MM's fire weakness is ill-defined now, but it worked as recently as last month. Thanos will set up fire bombs on the battlefield and laugh evilly and emotionally to make sure it bothers MM, lol.

With Xavier and Manhunter down, there's nothing protecting Flash anymore from a mental attack. And that completely destroys the rest of your strategy.

i dont think thanos is as powerful as blackbolt or dr strange though guys.

(Fallen One) Challenged Galactus, ? Hardly

(Thanos) Re programmed Him ? Yet to be seen

Mentally put down the Beyonder ? He lobotomised her. Its hardly a complicated procedure. They have been doing it since Victorian times.

Penetrated G's mind Shields ? He did it with whats her names help, and his version of cerebro (technically he could use this again) + Galactus beat him quite badly, on this telepathic plane.

Putting together a house is something a low level T.K. character could do, E.G. Jean

And how often does Thanos use mental attacks on the battle field ?
Any way what about my team ?

demi, you're getting on my nerves . . . 🙂

all right, let's make some more substitutions . . .

since he can so easily find a 'mutant shut off device', let's sub moondragon for x, and since fire may still be a question, let's get . . . MAXIMA! (i know she's dead, but you never said the characters need to be alive . . .) 🙂

so,

maxima, strange, moondragon, flash, wonderwoman. i still think you're WAY over-estimating thanos's mental ability (sounds like fallen one was a construct, rather than a humaniod, per se . . .) but moondragon, strange and maxima should be MORE than able to protect themselves and the others from psychic AND physical attacks.

thanos has to drop that shield SOME time . . . 😈

heheh. thanks for some clarification. i suspected there was more to the feats than demi was letting on, but that's okay. it's his thread so i'll play along and not raise too much of a stink. it's kinda fun.

😄

random team

Dr. Strange
Shumo gorrath
8th day juggernaut
Uninfected Cable
Lobo

would shumo gorrath qualify tho?

Beyonder - it wasn't a surgical procedure, he telepathically rendered her brain dead. It's what telepaths do...except he did it to THE BEYONDER. That's pretty high end, considering that anybody who even tried to get inside the Beyonder's head pretty much went mad.

Fallen One - What do you mean "remains to be seen"? He mentally enslaved The Fallen One. He became as docile as a puppy. It's what high end telepaths do.

And you're right, the equipment he used against G last time he could use to further amp his mental powers, which makes it even worse for WW and crew.

I'll get to your team in a sec...

Why did they cancel the comic?

Was my favourite title, they probably shelved it for Son of Gambit and Son or something.

Thanos, during his month of prep, figures that Juggernaut will be the battering ram. So when the fight begins, the first thing he does is teleport behind Juggy, then he blasts the helmet off of him. If Nimrod was able to get it off easily, it'll be easy for Thanos. Once he does that, he immediately re-programs Juggy and sends Juggy to attack Drax.

that removes both Drax and Juggy from the fight.

Strange, Manhunter and GL are well-protected from telepathic attacks, but BB goes down. He was able to resist Maximus, but Thanos is on another level entirely.

GL shields can be shattered, but Thanos won't even have to try. GL power is vulnerable to yellow again. As I mentioned before, the vulnerability can be overcome with sufficient willpower, but only if it's there to be overcome. A random yellow blast isn't subject to willpower reinforcement...GL goes down.

Manhunter still has his fire weakness, which Thanos can take advantage of, and Strange, while crafty, won't be able to do much for long by himself.

Hey, does anybody else want to help me out with the Thanos stuff? I won't be on much longer.

The weakness here is durability. There isn't enough of it. Strange can put Strange, Moondragon, or Flash down in one hit. It won't take more than a few hits to put down Wonder Woman or maxima, either.

But how does Thanos deal with the lightspeed lasso?

with one of his clones. 😈

He teleports his clone in to attack. He actually can manage to get in an attack before Flash ties him up. As soon as Flash stops, the real Thanos, who was cloaked, blasts him, putting him down. And as I said, durability problems plague the rest.
