Thanos vs Superman

The difference is Marvel has done a good job with Thanos and not had him take the losses that DS has to other heroes. Thanos is more powerful than Thor or Surfer, and unlike supes, aren't just given victories. So no that isn't a given with people who write Thanos.

Of coruse I am because I dont buy into Supes high end crap which is PIS. Now, if I was to jump on his PIS fanboy bandwang then I would be right!

when you don't read his comics (by your own admission) how can you claim to pass judgment on him?

I used to read his comics and IMO there is PIS in a lot of them. I have torrents and torrents of Supes comics.

I like him but just dont buy into his crap unlike some people.

I have my opinion and Supes fanboys have theirs.

Oh yea, all of the darkseids you see in comics are just aspects of the real darkseid, so no he isnt a jobber his high end feats are the true darkseid

you told me yourself that you hated the character. For stupid reasons too, iirc.

but for the sake of it, what kind of PIS are you referring to? What examples?

common misconception. All his losses weren't rectonned as avatar or because it wasn't his true form. Good try though.

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

When Warlock died the first time. Also, Warlock knows Thanos better than anybody... even Thanos himself. Also Warlock and Surfer have melded souls, so he knows everything Surfer knows. Also Thanos has worn the Soul Gem. Also... trying to pigeonhole the veracity of Warlock's words whereby Warlock had to have arm-wrestled him at some point to know how powerful Thanos is, is a transparent deflection from the plain presentation of the comic.

Starlin didn't write that scene to make Warlock look like some arrogant know-nothing schmuck. You can arbitrarily characterize Warlock's claim is dubious, as long as you acknowledge that you're simultaneously denying how clearly matter-of-factly it was presented.

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?

yea, someone posted the scans on comicvine, there all avatars, and some are even this guy(forgot his name) that impersonates him.

Don't believe everything you see typed as fact

You can arbitrarily characterize Warlock's claim is dubious, as long as you acknowledge that you're simultaneously denying how clearly matter-of-factly it was presented. Do you deny that combining their DNA through natural birth produced somebody that was more than twice as strong as the strongest original "parent"? So why exactly are you so incredulous that combining Thanos and Gladiator's DNA through genetic manipulation could produce somebody that was four or five times as strong as the strongest original "parent"?

Ummmm when Warlock died the first time they were never engaged in a physical confrontation. Thanos one shot hiim with an omni directional blast. I don't need arm wrestling, but what I do need, is to see them lock up in a physical confrontation. I do agree, that warlock could very well be correct, as he is a trust source. However, trusted or not, he doesn't have much evidence to support such a statement is my point.

Well... you first don't know that you're twice as strong as your dad. You guys have never actually tested your strength and certainly not tested it with both of you in your primes. However, I don't care about that not being a good example because there are plenty of them that support your claim. My point is, and always has been, that this statement by Warlock is dubious at best. Does it mean only strength does it mean as powerful.. what the hell does it mean really. That has been my issue this whole time. Well that, and I thought you were claiming Glads is 5 times stronger than Thanos

^ Pretty sure Warlock got the pimp-hand in addition to the eye-blasts. And if you don't have evidence to disprove the veracity of his statement, than that's that.

I know I am twice as strong as my father ever was. And my brother is twice as strong as I am. So arguing the dna route is a loser. You can argue with the plain presentation of the comic, or you can just accept it. You have no reason to think Warlock (i) is a complete liar, (ii) is just a flipping idiot, or (iii) has absolutely no basis for knowing how powerful Thanos is.

Warlock knows Thanos better than anybody. Even Thanos himself. Fact. Starlin couldn't beat that horse deader if he tried. And this is further supported through their personal confrontations. And his soul-meld with Surfer. And Thanos' Soul Gem bearing.

Accordingly, the only other route by which to deny the plainness of that scene and statement is to resort to "Starlin doesn't know sh1t." Which isn't very reasonable in my view.

Some of the early post crisis work was Desaad masquerading as Darkseid. That was pretty much blatantly stated iirc.

As for it being the "true" Darkseid later on, arguments can be made either way...

Second off I don't understand why people can accept Thanosi retcons without so much as batting an eye but get their panties in a wad when Darkseid's own low showings receive the same treatment. Huge double standard on this forum.
