I've always figured that Thanos' insane durability and damage soak is the reason why he's so damn tough to bring down through physical means. But offensively, what are Thanos' upper limits of power? Either through his physical blows or energy blasts (barring amps/artifacts, of course).

It has been said by others that his upper limits have never been seen(Adam Warlock said this when he was fighting PG Thor).

Odin also said he taps into a similar near limitless power supply, which also has been stated on panel of being a mixture of cosmic and mystical[accult/dark arts) energis.

What are his best offensive feats?

That makes little sense though; his healing factor would have just pushed it out. And I remember a Hulk personality resulting from Bruce having his brain riddled with grenade shrapnel so a Hulk can survive something like that.

I'm bringing this up again because I just read Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine.

Near the end Wolverine and Deadpool stall Hulk to buy time for Richards and his crew to relocate.

Wolverine gets his claws directly into Hulk's brain through his left temple and Hulk just bats him away. And since we see Hulk in the Punisher mini for this universe (which I haven't read yet), then the wound barely slowed him down.

Wolverine even notes that he's never seen the Hulk madder and stronger then this and since Utopia was mentioned, Red She-Hulk was around and Steve was Captain America again, this universe branches off just before Fear Itself most likely.

That means Cannibal Virus Hulk is more powerful than World War Hulk at the time where the universe branches (which was before the crazy stuff with World Breaker Hulk in the Dark Dimension) and this is evident when he breaks through Adamantium with his teeth.

So I still see an inconsistency here.

Knocking Galactus on his ass with a blast

Does Captain Marvel or Black Adam exist during the LOSH time line? If not why not?

Cap appeared in 853rd century, so he must be somewhere in 31st century most likely sleeping in rock of eternity.

I remember that one. I also recall him and Drax busting a planet.

I'm looking for more collateral damage feats (not that busting a city, country, planet, etc. is more important than battles against other characters). I have the feeling I'm missing something.

Does Cain possess any of the Juggernaut enchantment any more?
What happened to him after fear itself?

If I recall correctly the last time he got depowered he retained a part of the enchantment from his lengthy exposition, but I don't know much about his current situation.

Is Epoch -current series- any good?

Matched In-Betweener, easily killing Surfer, beat Maker pretty easily, killing Warlock easily, one shot killing Mar-Vell, helped take down Goddess, destroyed a shield in one shot that pretty much every major hero outside Surfer couldn't get through.

A lot of his stuff is him doing way better than heralds though.
The Galactus blast for one. When Surfer can't harm him, Beta, Glads, etc.
One shotting Punisher Robots, when one has given Surfer trouble.
Tyrant of course.
Lord Mar-Vell, when Mar-Vell killed Magus (Magus may or may not have had enough power to destroy many planets at the same time, don't remember if it was his power up, or just him using it as a weapon), blew through Surfer board, Nova devastation.
Easily beating The Mouthpiece of Death, which gave Surfer a lot of problems.

There's others, but we don't really see Thanos cut lose. The closest would be a Thanos clone who absorbed enough energy to wipe out Rot. A being who was killing Eternity and everything else. In the process he made the universe "scream"

Another EP feat, he hit Omega with a blast capable of leveling a mountain range(he stated) and dropping Thor in 2 shot in his weaker pre first death form.

Who so far has the best Healing Factor feats?

Answer this with the following caveats disallowing suggested holders of the title:

- Blatant immortality
- Control over their entire cellular/molecular/metaphysical structure
- Any flavor of Omnipotency or Reality Warping
- Artificially having their healing ramped up by a higher power (such as a god blessing/cursing someone to heal or being bonded to a deific or higher force)
- Temporary or unquantified power ups
- Temporal/Speed manipulation
- Energy Manipulation/Absorption to speed up healing (Such as Power Cosmic or Red Hulk, not metabolizing ambient/hyperdimensional energies such as Hulk or Superman)
- Magic to speed up healing (only disavows the use of spells specifically geared towards ramping up healing, not those who healing is from paranormal origins)

Well, he's disqualified because he's blatantly immortal. xD

Lobo and Deadpool.

Their healing feats typically aren't dependent on their inherent immortality.

Lobo is definitely a contender and he definitely has defined feats that don't rely on his immortality (such as regenerating from a pool of blood during 52) but isn't Deadpool's healing factor more intertwined with his immortality?
