Thanos vs....YOU

I'd also say that Superman is a liability - Thanos could get his hands on kryptonite in a month. I think Strange is definitely good, as are GL and Genis. You don't really need Superman if you have Majestic, since it's a little redundant, and Majestic is more powerful anyway. The biggest problem with Hal and Strange is that they have human stats. They'd have to fight flawlessly - if their shields go down for a second, if their concentration breaks for a second, Thanos has them nailed. I'm sure Thanos would know that during his month of prep...that's a huge liability.

Ahh...Manhunter. There's a good option and he could telepathically protect the team. BUT...Thanos would know about his weakness to fire....

Superman, still a liability because of the Kryptonite.

Ghostrider is valuable, but I don't think he'd be protected enough to be used as the final ace in the hole.

Strange is still good.

Dr. Manhattan...isn't he skyfather level???

How about:

Dr Strange
Professor X (unparalyzed)
Drax the Destroyer
Silver Surfer
Magneto

Prof and Mags are still both liabilities. You probably shouldn't use mutants here because of how many blocking devices are all over Marvel Earth. Thanos knows Drax and Surfer too well (BUT...that also means they know him well, too. Could that make the difference?)

then i'd change Thor for Dr.Strange and for SS... Xorn-because he has an unstopably strong gravity blast!!!-and for IronMan GhostRider!!!

Wait...so what does that make your team?

I thought Manhunter got over the fire thing?

And I'm not sure whether Manhattan would count as Skyfather level. He's the result of an atom smasher and strong will, so I'm not sure.

Hmm...

Dr. Strange
Dr. Fate
He-Man (Pre-Crisis appearance vs. Supes; Pre-C Supes was scared He-Man would kill him)
Manhunter
Firestorm

Manhunter can handle "random" fires down. He's still weak against fires caused with hatred or passion. The writers sort of left that intentionally vague, so you COULD argue that Thanos is so emotionally detached that the fires he'd set to use against MM would have no effect. It's unclear.

Hmm...I kinda like your new team, Ill. They could pull it off, though you could probably do better than He-Man. What's the deal with Firestorm? I'm pretty unfamiliar with him.

hmmm....... you could be right about Superman which is why i never included him in my first team, but i still don't want to use the Surfer...... ok....... once more.........ok, this may be stretching the "hero" part....... but he has saved the world so i'm picking Graviton..... (i feel i have to since he's the top guy on my tourny team)

Mr Majestic
Dr Strange
Captain Marvel
Green Lantern
Graviton

Sue Richards
Mr Fantastic
Dr Doom
Dr Strange
Zero

Sue can create a forcefield of a caliber that can protect the other four whilst Zero ports them all away. Using his magic, Strange can mask their location whilst Doom and Reed create themselves some nice hardware. Once prepared they may return to the battlefield, where Doom shall move forward to engage Thanos. Having taken a blast from Thanos with the IG in his basic armor, I have no doubt he will be reinforced to the point where he can trade blows with Thanos for long enough for Reed to prepare his weapon. If Thanos decides to ignore Doom, he will have his powers removed much like SS has, or, barring that because of some protection, will be facing the wrath of whatever Doom has cooked up. Now, here's the best part, if at any point any of the combatants are in danger, Zero ports over, pulls em out, whilst Strange provides whatever nessecary support.

The idea is that Sue can provide cover for Reed to use whatever he can come up with (Nullifier anybody?), Doom can stand up to Thanos, Zero is our safety boy, and Strange can augment any of their roles with his magic.

If this team doesn't have a shot, I don't know many who do.

Also note, there is no being anyone has stated with the sheer power to overcome Thanos without being over the maximum power limit.

Firestorm is a DC character. He's the combination of two people caught in a nuclear accident. He can fly, has super strength, control his density, and alter matter.

He-Man is the strongest man in the Universe and magic based. His power source is protected by the Masters of the Universe and The Sorceress, and that's his main weakness. He's like Supes minus light speed, Ice breath and special vision types, but plus a Magic Sword and magic sabre-toothed tiger. With Fate and Strange by his side, that's a lot of magical firepower.

I just peeped that is a Gundam sig nataku. Nice.

Graviton and Doom are a little over the line of what I'd consider a hero. I could go with Magneto being a hero or Gladiator or even Firelord, but a hero is someone who does heroic things out of concern for mankind. Graviton and Doom have done heroic things out of convenience, not because they're heroes.

I like Nakatu's line of reasoning, though.

damnit.........lol............. ok

Mr Majestic
Dr Strange
Captain Marvel
Green Lantern
Thor

i feel i need more than 1 person to smack Thanos around to give Strange and Thor time to pool their magical powers and beat him for good, so Majestic, Lantern and Marvel can do that...... perhaps Thor can give Strange access to his hammers magic while he goes into the fight

Can Thor do that?

i'm not sure........ maybe with Strange's help

My five against Thanos huh? Sentry's out of the question because I think he's a bit powerful, so here are my five:

Adam Warlock
Dr. Strange
Genis Vell
Silver Surfer
Gilgamesh
