I said that a long time ago. I dont even consider the loss canon....I was giving the poster the benefit of the doubt. The point is whether you consider that loss canon or not that it isnt a low showing seeing as how she has never lost. So even if it is canon she is undefeated. How many characters can claim that.

This thread still going, anyhow I give Thanos the edge but I think Supes can easily take him to the limit. Supe's is faster, more durable and equally as strong as Thanos and unlike SS Kent wont be fighting like a complete jackass.
The Surfer was oneshotted by Odin....was he fighting like a jackass then or is it that Thanos is superior to the Surfer against the Surfer and shared opponents....think on it please.

I agree that Thanos' durability is probably higher than Superman's. However, in terms of strength, there is no evidence that Thanos is superior to Supes'. Thanos has practically zero lifting feats compared to Superman. So, saying Thanos is physically stronger than Superman is unfounded. It is Thanos' superior durability along with his other powers that put the Titan above Superman...not his strength. I believe Superman would defeat Thanos in any test of strength.
Does every character need lifting feats to prove anything? I say nay. Anyways why make this about strength when it obviously isnt. It is a one on one battle and you can still have your opinion that Supes is stronger which many would disagree with. But to change the thread and make it a strength contest only when this isnt the threadstarters intention is clearly based on Thanos hate imo.

Even Doomsday has more strength feats than Thanos...well, because Doomsday takes care of business with his fists. How many times does Thanos throw down hand to hand with his opponents?
Thanos throws down quite a bit. Are you sure you arent confusing him with Darkseid here. Thanos threw down with Thor with the power gem. Ill use that as a specific example. Thor was going through badasses like it was easy but when they teleported him into Thanos' ship he hit a roadblock.

Whatever,

You wank on Thanos about as much as Quan does. And no, Thanos is not known for using his fists as much as Supes and Doomsday do. Thanos relies on other means..primarily.. to defeat his opponents in battle.

I'm glad to clear that up for ya!!!!!!!!

Ok so your point is that Thanos doesnt rely solely on punching and brawling in every case. It doesnt prove he cant do this but instead proves he can do this among other things. In a way you are giving him a lot of credit in saying he uses a wide variety of options in dealing with opponents. He can brawl and beat opponents down among other things. 🙂

I for one don't recognize Sentry's supposed stalemating of Galactus.

At the same time, Squirrel Girl's 'victory' over Thanos was a sham, because it was not the real Thanos. It was retconned in a 'She-Hulk' issue by Dan Slott, (the same writer who did the Squirrel Girl story). The explanation is that Thanos created the clones so close to perfection, that it could fool even the most cosmic of minds, (ie. The Watcher...who claimed that Squirrel Girl had defeated the *real* Thanos). This retcon also gives Starlin's retconning of Thanos' appearances in 'Celestial Quest' some additional strength, as Death was not able to recognize the Thanosi.

*Sigh*...I hate these stupid clones...but they're a necessary evil to right the wrongs done on the character by various writers from 1997-2002. I just pray we never see them again.

Thanos has too much to bring to the table, Supes looses this one.

I don't think it's quite as simply put as that.

Strength = Superman > Thanos

Durability = Thanos > Superman (Although they are both shown to have god-like durability when the situation calls for it)

Speed = Superman >>>>> Thanos

Energy Projection = Thanos >>> Superman

Thanos most likely get's the majority due to his proven durability when fighting Tyrant and Odin, however Superman's durability has been shown to be absolutely insane in the past.

Superman would fight the way he does best, bringing uncomparable strength in the form of near light speed punching and reflexes, Thanos would absorb many of them, but power set vs power set signifies that Thanos wouldn't be able to land a punch, and if he did, i see Superman absorbing it, and a few after, but he couldn't do it for long.
I see Thanos' durability waning, before Superman's endurance.

IMO Thanos would get the majority over Superman, but it's entirely possible Superman could knock out Thanos.
Thanos could stand there with a smile on his face for only so long before Superman smacks the taste out of his mouth.

severance Plot is better than power

Thanos whole thing is he is far greater in power than any single hero. Which is why it usually takes a team effort to even take him on let alone defeat him. He only usually loses because of his in-built self destruct. Superman may be just about (barring, Thor, J'onnz and Surfer) the ultimate hero but he is not taking a team beater on his own

That's what I have been saying for years.

But you have a better way with words 😉

I am glad you posted this for all to see who disagree with me about whether or not Sg is canon. It isnt. 🙂

I couldnt disagree more. Thanos has dealt with speed before and came out on top. This is no different. Thanos smacks around Thor who is Supes' equal and Surfer who is superior. Thanos also took a pounding by Odin and Tyrant and stil had gas left in the tank while I have seen Supes get utterly embarrassed by Cyborg with his rings while on the other hand Thor who had a power gem and more feats than this amped Cyborg. Think about it what did Cyborg do or go through with his rings.......Thor went through badasses while Cyborg just manhandled Supes. The next time we saw him and when the backup arrived he got worked.

Of course you agree it's not canon but it doesn't mean that she beat a clone either how do we know he was making a direct statement about that fight? Or that he even meant that that Thanos was an actual clone we don't have solid proof so it is canon.

The same writer explained how it can fool anyone. It makes no sense that Thanos would be out on the lookout for items of power anymore. It was completely out of character and the same writer later explained how hes so damn good at cloning that it can fool anyone...including the WATCHERS. He fooled Death before didnt he. 💃

So what was his purpose in Annihilation? It could have been to how people would react to him gaining power again these still are assumptions you are pulling out of nowhere to justify your claim until it is actually retconned Thanos lost boo whoo get over it.
