Thanos vs Superman

Liar, am I? You're the one who can't read. Look at the Thanos/Odin fight again and tell me Thanos can't do it. You're grasping at straws.

What I wrote was very clear : since when can Thanos at will imprison characters in pure energy, even though he doesn't know where they are, in this case somewhere in space ?

Hmm ? Can he do that ? Scans please. No my dear boy, not the Thor or Odin scan, those two were standing right for his nose.

Yeah, only most of the people who fight him.

Really used...

Thanos could teleport away from the sun if he was dragged there. I have a hard time picturing Superman drag Thanos all that way without him doing something though, a minute is plenty of time for Thanos to pwn him if they are in physical contact (Darkseid should also have been able to stop him, he obviously forgot his powers like Surfer forgets his!).

All True. All of them own Superman to be honest. I just get sick of the Rampant Thanosism on these boards, WHen it's clear a good many of Thanos' exploits are thru planning, Tech, or a jobber. I just can't see why Odin couldn't have just banished Thanos if he was such a bother. Thanos is beyond being Whipsed away from Odin's own wrealm. Or turned into an immortal Frog. There is waaay to much hype of Thanos given the fact that he uses so much tech and prep. On these forums, you can't use those feats pertaining to stuff like that. THanos really has no feats when you look at the sheer amount of Jobbing that has gone before him and the sheer amount of tech and prep he has had. It's not fair to even put him in fights with beings who can just duke it out on a moments notice and do very well.

Thanos often lets his opponents come to him because it gives him a tactical advantage. Superman has no ranged attack that will do anything versus Thanos (triple forcefield that completely stops herald level attacks), so Superman is going to rush in and get physical like he typically does.

Thanos is a master tactician in combat and isn't going to just let Superman man handle him into the sun, he can teleport anytime he wants to and can force trap Superman in countless ways to prevent him from grabbing a quick sundip.

How about he just pwns his ass telepathically? He CAN match telepathy with Moondragon and even go against Galactus for a while.

Oh yeah, this here proves that he can see and block opponents flying at light speed...

He actually specifically needed Moondragon's help to get into Galactus' mind, if you'll recall.

It seems that Thanos has great telepathic defense, but very little (if any) telepathic offense.

Again, he hasn't displayed ANY sort of telepathic offense since his ressurection, and specifically needed Moondragon to get into Annihilus' mind in the recent Annihilation mini.

Oh, so you wanna know if he could imprison Superman while he's running like a coward?

If he's across the galaxy, then no. But that's not the case. This is a fight, not a contest of how quickly Superman's gonna run like a girl once Thanos hits him.

Cool. How many people have used their flying powers against Thanos ? Because it's you, I'll clarify : used their flying powers, not "flew towards Thanos and then started kicking and blasting him."

Really used...

Like the running like a coward? Well, considering this is a fight, he's not going to do that. As in proper fight usage, like I said, everyone with flight has.

Once again, your ignorance is astounding. You have obviously never read one single appearance of Thanos.

Seems like he was coming out of warp, not that he was moving at lightspeed.

To me, at least.

What the hell do you think flying is? It's using your flight to move around. Thanos has one of the best forcefields in Marvel, a triple layered forcefield that makes even Galactus exert himself to push through, so most ranged attacks are useless unless you're skyfather level or above. What's flying around going to do? Thanos can sit there and blast back totally unharmed, so most opponents are going to use their flight to fly in to attack.

What other ways is a character going to use their flying against Thanos?

Thanos can levitate and can teleport, it's not like you can pick him up, fly into the air and drop him, he moves where he wants to move and that's it.

Warp is faster than lightspeed. He reacted to a faster than light attack.

We've seen attacks just straight hit him before, so that must mean that he doesn't always have his forcefield.

So you think his mental powers have somehow faded after he got resurrected with more power than he had before?

Hmmm 😮 😕 🙄

Considering he used that with no tech whatsoever, yes he does. Sometimes he choses not to use it.

Warp means that you are moving in a different dimension, generally. Hence the portal. ONce you exit warp, your speed could be anything.

He has multiple forcefields, they aren't always on, but if he knows that he is going to be in a battle he's going to turn them on.

He had more physical and energy powers. His versatility seemed to be limited.

You'll notice, no show of mental or matter manipulation, no "mind sync time warp" stuff, nothing.

Coming out of warp if you watch star treck actually makes you more vulnerable. Your moving rather slow compared to previous speed. But with warp, your energy signature is actually very easy to trace.

Guess what? Marvel hyperspace travel from a Herald > Star Trek hyperspace travel by a humongous technological space boat.

I asked the same question a while ago, but nobody answered, so I'll give the answer : he can't.

Of course he can hide behind his shields, and no, heat vision won't beat Thanos, but again, how will he know when Superman is about to attack ? Superman can wait all day. Is Thanos meanwhile gonna read the Titan Bugle behind his cosy force fields and wait for the attack ? Or will he actually do something ? And what will he do ?

Huh? He used what with no tech whatsoever?

The multiple forcefields? I don't think thats true. The fact that its triple layered, and that he explained it like that, seems to indicate that it was technology.

And the fact that he gets hit, even while he's fighting, indicates that he doesn't always have it.
