You're backwards. Thanos deactivated them because they were too dangerous and powerful. He only realized that after the clone that Thor fought and the Celestial Quest one.Those Infinity Abyss clones were already more powerful than Thanos. So your progressive logic fails. Details below. Key phrase: "Four of the most powerful."
Not: "The four most powerful." The actual statement is not exclusive, just descriptive. You could have been able to build on your progressive ABC thinking to infer that the one that Thor fought was weaker, if they were indeed, the absolute four most powerful. But they were not. So you can't. Let's stop butchering English.The newer clones were "only maybe = to Thanos?" How about three of the models rivaled Thanos' power:
And that Warrior, the Thanosi that was spliced with Gladiator's DNA, was actually five times more powerful than the original Thanos:
Even moreso, Omega actually far outclassed Thanos. So what do we have? Two clones who are outright more powerful than Thanos, Omega and Warrior. Two others who rivaled Thanos' power, X and Mystic. These four were among the most powerful ones, but not necessarily the four most powerful. The one that Thor fought was only described as a "higher powered" one. Thanos doesn't really describe the Celestial Quest one.
I'm not suggesting that the Thanosi which Thor fought was the most powerful. But trying to act like all his clones were far inferior power-wise and could never match the original Thanos is attenuation. And in two instances, outright wrong.
It’s a progress step so this means his older clones were weaker which was my point was to begin with.
lol at you using Warlock's statement claim to say Gladiator's DNA clone was 5 times more powerful and not realizing that is just false or a statement to dramatize his strength. Stange was easily disposing the other Thanos clone who was suppose to equal = real Thanos as well. And Warlock one shot this clone with his soul soul gem so much for = Thanos in power. In fact all the Clones were disposed rather easily.
Gladiator Clone was one shoted by Soul Gem
Strange easily Handled Mage clone
These clone were suppose to be = Thanos as stated by Thanos
The clones were defeated by top tier "easily".
Your using Omega to claim thanos clone in the past might have been been more powerful than Thanos? Lol funny Omega was never meant to be used by Thanos... Soo that point.
So again......... Thanos started using clones weak ones at first... then stronger ones til they were getting strong enough so he stooped using it. Last ones were the one that fought the Avengers.
So it's a safe bet that all the past clones were at least weaker than him since the newest clone were not even as powerful as he was.
