Thanos vs. The Authority

SS can do that, anybody with matter manipulation ( people who can change themselves can do it)

Thanos won't be turned into anything, he survived the trip to Nexus (where he was basically shattered)

Thanks to death Thanos is nearly unstoppable

Even without Death, he's still an Eternal with all kinda of power nehancements. He's a b*tch to kill in any state.

What hasn't he done.

Has defeated the Elders
***** slaps guys like thor , Hulk , Silver Surfer
Outsmarts the likes of Doom etc
Durability to hang with Odin, Tyrant (where other top notch hero don't last much)
Can teleport, Can trap someone like mad Thor with power gem (someone that Strange, and Warlock couldn't contain)

Apparently Thanos has never been truly tested ( before battling Odin)

Thanos is the second best villain out there

That's why I pity Darkseid

second best?

Joker is tha best

Is Apollo's equal to Odin? That's what it takes so beat Thanos in a head-on fight. Even if Apollo were able build up that level of power (which he might be), he cant sustain it. He uses up his stored energy in his attacks. A battered but still spoiling for a fight Thanos will crush Apollo as he starts to run down.

Jenny Quantum might be able to out-power Thanos, but Apollo is overmatched.

Thanos is also a better tactician than all of them except the Midnighter. Unless they "Door" onto the bridge of Sanctuary V or something theyd be lucky if Thanos just brawls with them. Even then, in the battle for the Cube way back, he beat the Avengers, the Thing, Mar-Vell, Moondragon, etc. all without working up much of a sweat. He also carries a nuke on his person, just for laughs.

Again, this all assumes the Doctor hasn't just turned him back into a statue.

joker?! with your love of ss, i'd NEVER have begged you for a joker fan. i figured it was some almighty cosmic dude. and thanos USED to be ultimately cool back when he first gained some prominence. fighting the first cap marvel and warlock - i have most of those issues. after they brought him back it wasn't the same. they made him TOO tough. like they seem to be doing to everyone nowadays.

I just happened to have read all his comics (at least I hope)

ya they made Thanos too powerful , and he is always finding a way to be #1

power ups yes , apparently darksied went the opposite direction

Apollo would never beat Thanos in a million years. And I've said this before, but usually saying "Who can the Authority beat?" is basically saying "Who can the Doctor beat?" A few would be able to hang out in the "herald-level" section of the restaurant (Angie, Apollo, Jack with the right conditions) but none but The D are near Thanos. If they used Carrier doors, all of their resources, and basically bought time for The Doctor they coudl probably do it...but everything would have to go right and I still say Thanos wins more often than not.

But the Doctor's matter control is damn close to limitless, and all he has to do is think about it. Since he once grew in strength and size many hundreds of times, I'd assume he could simply make himself a Class Infinity and throw Thanos to the next galaxy or at least knock him out or something. He's also sent people to different dimensions and traveled time. He could go back to when Thanos had a self-defeating personality and whup on him bad. They might never kill Thanos, but The Doctor could definitely "win" the fight.

Problem is, he's never written to potential since it would make some story arcs boring...though they've been creative with giving reasons for him not intervening (comatose from an overdose, doesn't agree with The Authority, loses his powers to an evil Doctor, is just learning to use his powers, etc.). But if they ever decide to write him to full potential I have a feeling a Doctor vs. Odin/Galactus/Abstracts/teams of magic-people, etc. thread wouldn't be out of the question (just one-on-one though, not at the same time).

aren't the Doctor's powers linked to the Earth? being as he's only Earth's shaman and not Shaman of the multiverse..... wouldn't he have to be on or near one of the various parallel Earth's to be useful?

In theory, that makes sense, but it hasn't seemed to stop him. The evil Doctor casually remarked that he could eat the sun if he wanted to (and he fought Apollo inside the sun with no ill effects), and a former Doctor (in the "Garden of Ancestral Memory"😉 seemed to fully believe that the evil Doctor could destroy all life in the universe, perhaps multiverse....in any case, I forget the exact words but he was worried about more than just Earth.

The Doctor, being an "Enlightened Being" (and also somewhat of a flake about his powers) tries to preserve life and hasn't really tested his limits, but given the evidence I see no reason why he would have power only with Earth-related things.

homer mmmmmmmm Pretzels😄

Keep the faith 😄

Stay Whirly 🤘

Though he seems to be slightly sarcastic with his remarks, I'd have to disagree with whirly...Khell made some good points earlier about matter manipulation not working that easily on Thanos. But still, The Doctor has plenty of other options that I detailed earlier. It would be an interesting fight.

Of Course Matter Manipulation will work😄

Thanos is a pretzel😄

Keep the faith😄

The nexus was manipulating his matter and changing his form. (thanks to death shit like that has very little effect , even before death ( he is a manipulator himself)

His not a MM on the Docs scale 😄 as for the Doc he just makes himself infinitely strong "infinite" is word of the day homer

And beats Thanos up😄

Keep the faith😄

Thanos Dies😄

Jenny Quantum beats Thanos, he loses to a 5 year old 😄

Stay Whirly 🤘

Changing thanos molecules or turning him into a pretzel won't work at all. Death has cursed him he can't die by no means, th doctor doesn't have intelligence like thanos who is over 5000 years old and highly smart one of the smartest beings in the marvel universe and maybe in comics.

Thanos as eternal can increase his own powers at will he has vast mental powers that he uses to protect his mind from mind attacks he has cosmic and plasma energy projection which he can fuse both power sources into a divesting blast. Plus he will tare authority a new a$$hole this is the same being who had destroyed the marvel universe on more than one occasion.

The Aurthority is dead on rival.

Jeeny Quantum and the Doctor destroy Thanos😄

and noone really knows how jacks exploding punches work his not really strong enough to do what he is supposed to so..................
how?

Keep the faith😄

Thanos is a Pretzel😄

Stay Whirly😄

The Aurthority is dead on rival.

1. The only time he destroyed MU was with help from more powerful artifacts.

2. Even a cursory knowledge of Authority will tell you that The Doctor has been reincarnated throughout history since the dawn of humanity. He is aware of his past selves and has their collected knowledge. So Thanos' 5000 years of experience are actually probably dwarfed by The Doctor's combined knowledge.

3. Sure Thanos is a badass, and can increase his powers. And no, matter manipulation would not work on him directly. But I detailed at least two other ways the D could use his considerably ridiculous powers to take him down (earlier on page 2). The rest of The Authority is a distraction at best, and dead at worst, but Big D could definitely pull it off (if they ever decided to write him as a non-flake).

Jenny Quantum has almost unlimited abilities😄

Er, but when has she ever used them? Jenny Fractal perhaps, but she's not a member of the Authority and is now dead/reincarnated in J. Quantum/something weird like that.

Thanos would own her before she figured out what was going on...she has no training with her conisderable powers. Maybe in 15 years I'd agree, but not now. Only The Doctor has a chance.
