Thanos vs Superman

Thor didn't have WM he was just crazy. Also ABC logic doesn't work. Remember the game rock paper scissors? Superman wins this by comboing Thanos to ko before he can make an action. He has Thanos number.

How about Superman blitzes Thanos then Thanos grabs him and drains his life force?

So essentially you're arguing that Superman will blitz Thanos and beat him into a corner until he's nothing but a pile of meat? 🙄

Cool thanks for explaining bro.

This planet is indestructible. Superman beats him while he is on the ground. See I knew this argument would come up so I prepared for it in advanced. If you want to go the comic physics route instead of real life physics route then I can show you some examples of combo to ko between two vast powerful beings without using a corner or ground.

How many times has Superman started a fight and directly went for a blitz?

In comics not too many times. But that was due for the sake of the story and not because of limitation on his character.

In forum fights he has more than 100 times I would guess.

you have to at least prove its nonsense first though

No, see nonsense comes under a reasonable person standard. Any reasonable person doesn't need proof to know that 2+2=fish is nonsense just as any reasonable person doesn't need proof that the combo to KO principle is nonsense.

superman is extremely fast and it is within realm of possiblity that H1's theory is actually correct

you can't just debate someone by calling their points nonsense without showing any evidence to the contrary

With CIS off it would be another story though.

CIS is always on if you want to use this as a strategy the Thor fans can also use their 100% usage of all exotic powers strategy (with which I also disagree btw).

Not to mention Surfer can spam all his powers at once. And create a solar-power draining black hole that sends the opponent into a time-loop. ha-som

Never. At least I haven't scene or heard about any such moment.

When he does pour on the speed, it's almost always when a situation gets desperate or he gets pissed off. And most of the instances I've seen him blitzing are against foes that his already encountered and labeled as dangerous.

And with his logic because Thanos doesnt have speed feats he gets KOed, same goes for Galactus and LT. Powerful doesnt mean shit in his world, only speed and strength does.

IIRC he blitzed Mongul right off the bat once. He's also attempted blitzing Darkseid several times right off the bat, usually he gets brushed off though by the OE or DS's backhand.

So like I said, foes that his already encountered and labeled as dangerous.

I've never seen -or at least I don't remember- Superman encountering a strange foe and going for the blitz off the bat.

its general knowledge of the public,,, smart guy.. tryin to get one over on us. 😖mart: 😖hifty:

To be fair I'm fairly certain forum rules give general knowledge of opponents unless otherwise stated. So knowing Thanos's power Superman might well blitz. Even then as shown by the DS examples the Superman blitz isn't a OHKO tactic like Hia8 plays it up to be.

What constitutes as basic knowledge though? How much do most beings know about Thanos? That his a powerful and mad Titan?

If we want to play that game, Thanos might enter the battle with the intent to have his shields up from the get go. Superman would get off some hits possibly, but it certainly won't be anywhere near enough to put down Thanos before the shields come into play.

Your guess is as good as mine. He might know that Thanos is a guy who's beaten Thor and Surfer, that would certainly be grounds to take off the Kid's Gloves.

Well I doubt him beating Surfer or Thor would count as common knowledge. At least if this common knowledge thing works as I understand it. He should know that Thanos is above a standard elite top tier.

And his never beaten Thor under his own power. Close though.
