It depends on how Superman wins in the comic. If he uses his vibrating speed, instant appearing behind Thanos before he can turn around, and combos Thanos until he is koed then it is clearly not PIS.

except that it would be.

If it was an actual even writing staff, yes. Since Thanos hardly ever loses in a comic. I have no doubt that Superman would eventually foil his plans, but for the part of fighting, no, it's not common sense (also based on the fact that it's never happened).

Either way, like I said before, it's a complete non point.
It's something that you'd have to be a complete idiot to even think about bringing up.

It's not anything we don't already know, it's pretty obvious. If a writer had Superman winning it wouldn't be anymore uneven than most other conventianal scenarios.

And its not so idiotic because it lends some perspective, as in it's not really a David and Goliath contest, it's much closer.

sounds like superman's wins are just shit writers pulled out of their hats to keep their poster boy looking golden.

at least that's what i'm getting from this

based on what, exactly?

PIS certainly rears it ugly head in some of his fights but Thanos is a pure raw physical threat. Think Doomsday with concussive energy beams and other high energy beams. The list of esoteric abilities he can level at Superman are very small if any. And in terms of raw power he's not busting solar systems or anything.

He's a low skyfather not far enough above the level of physicality of Superman. The reality is a fight with Supes would put him at physical risk, its not like Superman doesn't have the sheer speed and strength to outperform him in a physical fight. He has a greater margin of error than Supes because of his defensive countermeasures but he is also less mobile and evasive.

don't you mean lower margin or error?

No. I mean greater margin for error as I said. Thanos can afford to make more mistakes, he has shields. Superman has a lower margin for error, he can't afford the same amount of mistakes.

i guess i was thinking of the statistical definition

While I can see what you are saying in Re: Superman and from that perspective, it doesn't change the fact that Thanos is superman's superior in pretty much every category that matters. While Thanos does have raw power greater than Superman, he also isn't a buffoon, and is considerably smarter than Superman as well. The simple truth is, that Thanos is just more powerful and higher up on the food chain that supes. That is what matters on KMC, we aren't debating what DC writers would do with this fight.

Based off him defeating beings of similar power or more powerful. Based off his best feats, based off his speed.

Thanos is more durability to energy based attacks, I'll give him that. Superman is stronger, far faster, more maneuverable, more durable against certain types of physical attacks.

I don't know about you but I think those categories matter, especially the speed one.

1. So he's never engaged Thanos in a physical confrontation. Yet you feel he's well versed on knowing how much stronger this clone was than Thanos? How is that possible.

2. This is a very relevant fact... how would mixing Glads Dna with his own make him 5 times stronger or more powerful then. If thanos is already stronger than Glads.. why would mixing glads DNA then make that clone 5 times stronger than the real Thanos?

1. He has engaged Thanos in a physical confrontation. But irregardless, Adam Warlock knows Thanos better than anyone else, even Thanos himself.

2. I am a little over twice as strong as my father ever was in his prime and taller than both him and my mother. If my father is already stronger than my mother... why would mixing my mother's DNA then make the baby (me) more than 2X as strong as my father?

which you've misconstrued more than once.

he was being sarcastic. ermm

the reason supes is considered the golden boy is b/c he is given golden showers by writers... get it?

Supes cannot win against thanos at least not for the majority.

he is in the same boat as MN.. he wins because he will tun the long shot into the majority... seriously? wth?! .00001% chance of winning gets turned into .999999% chance of winning

First I'm surprised you used Irregardless....

Second, please list me the fights where Warlock and Thanos locked up in a physical confrontation

Third, that is honestly the best you could do? Trying to draw a correlation between your mother and father and genetically engineering of a clone?

i can actually see superman beating up thanos to a pulp in a comic like he does darkseid
