heheh. as the thread starter, i wanted it power v power, 1on1 locked in an impenetrable room. problem for thanos is that part of gog's powerset is his ability to control hypertime. these clones as they continue to be inaccurately named, most certainly are legal. nothing OUTSIDE either of their basic powersets are allowable. no cubes, no going back in time for gadgets, etc . . .
on a different note, people seem quick to assign a level to gog. forget mider's KC gog. the only thing we know about continuity gog is that he beat, nearly killed, and toyed and tortured superman for YEARS!! WHILE he was doing that, multiple versions of himself waged a 100 year war against the ultimate version of doomsday and an army of supermen!! gog was never pressed, was never in danger of losing, and gave no indication that he couldn't have kept going forever. he was never beaten, he ELECTED to stop the war and stop torturing superman. and he is UBER smart -- all of time is at his disposal. what he wants to learn he goes back and learns. he basically can't make mistakes, because each is erased when he goes back and returns. as he was depicted, gog is damn near unbeatable. his powers need to be a little better defined in a future arc.
going by the 'he's beaten more powerful people' argument (not a good one, btw) consider who superman has beaten! villains WAY beyond him -- some would say he's beaten skyfather level opponents! but he had no chance against gog. the beating connor received from gog was as bad or worse than the beating prime gave connor.
i'm seriously not sure why people don't like gog, or why they won't give him his due (unless you've not read the arc) but he was stupid powerful. and in a power v power match up, no prep no outside tech or gadgets, thanos isn't winning this one.
