Thanos

Here is a quote about Thanos's strength level:

Writer Peter David, who wrote the Hulk comic for about 12 years, is a subscriber on AOL. Ramus decided to e-mail David about the matter. He was very detailed in his questioning, desiring to avoid any confusion.

To quote Ramus, he asked "if he ( Peter David ) thought Thanos was on a physical strength level higher than Hulk at any time he was writing (meaning various incarnations)."

David's reply was simple, answering: "Yeah, probably. Thanos is kind of in his own weight class."

That quote shows that Thanos is pretty damn physically strong.

Does Thanos has limitless strength potential via Cosmic Powers ?

yeah Probably? what kind of definitive answer is that? And since when did we start taking writers words for anything when people won't even except that DC has said that NO OTHER earth super hero on earth is inbetween Superman and Diana in the strength dept. and yet everyone over looks that. so i'm not buying it.

How could he have be able to amp is strength unlimtedly when his cosmic powers are not unlimited themself?

They aren't limitless. Even Galactus doesn't have limitless Power Cosmic. If he did, he wouldn't need to feed himself. He would already have limitless power.

Thanks for clearing that

So every one seems to think Thanos beats Top tiers becuz of his strength. I believe it's due to his durability and skill. With Thanos having no "feats" and people have used this very same argument against me when I have tried to defend Diana (she doesn't have the feats), I want to see just who do people think Thanos is stronger than. How far along this Guantlet of strength does Thanos Go in the Strength Only dept?

1. Solomon Grundy
2. Wonder Woman
3. Thor with the Belt
4. Superman Sun Dipped
5. Drax with the PG
6. Psycho Hulk
7. Wonder Woman with the Guantlet of Atlas
8. Champion With the PG
9. Superboy Prime
10.Uni-Powered Gladiator
11.AS Superman

completley off subject, noticed you got flusterd the other day but im glad you didnt leave 🙂

I believe that the only non abstract beings to have limitless strength would be the Hulk and Champion of the Universe. Superman can keep soaking up sun light for more strength but I'm not sure if I count that as Limitless since he has to get near the sun to do it.

Can I just say regarding the list/gauntlet in the first post, Hulk, Thor /w gem and Drax /w gem should probably all be on the same level and higher up on the list since one has the potential to grow as strong as he needs and the other two draw from limitless power, you can make arguments for them being stronger than anyone else.

No, people just don't accept any old character is stronger than Thanos just because he doesn't have precious "lifting feats". When you can beat the Silver Surfer to the brink of death in 7 punches, trade blows with Thor wielding the power gem and man handle Hulk and Thing at the same time, you're strong.

I did the list this way becuz if you were to put all of these guys in a room to brawl, i figured it would come out this way.

Bah, I have used many battle scenarious to argue for a certain character and they were dismissed.

I agree, i have had that same problem. Sometimes, characers just dont have the feats and you have no choice but to speculate. but in some cases due to bias or other factors, some people refuse to accept specualtion. Personally, i dont see anything wrong with it considering its very well thought out speculation. but i understand your delima

The first thing someone says when a character that they dont' like is being argued for is " where are her feats?" And if it's a character that they dont'like and you do have the feats, they holler, It was PIS. It just boggles my mind.

I would say so too. But when I said WW broke Superman's Ribs, people dismiss that as if you dont' need planet shaking strength to break anything on Superman. And the surfer jobs. Storm knocked surfer out with one lighting bolt. So Is her lighting stronger than Thanos' punches since she did it with one hit? It just seems like people on here like to pick and chose what is PIS, what is a high feat and what they dont' like.

God, she didn't KO Surfer. She hit him, he was weak, he screamed, that is all. He was up in the next panel, and pis also helps her case. Go read the comic, if you aren't sure about it, but don't lie to support your case!

I see blah, blah, blah. But, when Wonder Woman... Thanos doesn't have any feats...

OK, smart guy, riddle me this, Darkseid has basically no lifting feats at all, so from that, we know that Batman is stronger than him, since Batman has lfted more on panel, does this make sense to you?

WW might be second to Supes in strength, but what about the people above Supes? What about people as strong as Supes? Do we know the exact extent of her closeness to Supes powers?
Is she a ton in strength lower than him?
She broke his ribs... what about the time Superman knocked her halfway across the solar system?
(Don't even use the Marvel example, because you should know, that no one in Marvel has these feats, not even Galactus, so before you try, don't!)

Wonder Woman broke Superman's ribs, good for her, she is strong.
Is this whole thread here to try and compare Wonder Woman to Thanos?

Does punching power, not equate into strength? Are you just going to keep ignoring the scans that got posted on the first, and then quoted on the second page?

Also, when have you ever really seen Thanos amp his strength up before a fight, to even try and prove that he uses the cosmic powers to gain strength?

You're comparing Hulk's strength to Eternity's right now. Wow...
You're comparing Hulk's strength to abstracts, no, just no!

Your blatant lies, your twisting the truth, the obvious-ness (if that is a word), that you haven't read the comics.

what are you getting mad for? I'm really just trying to show people how they do. They use feats when it's convenient, and when it's not, they dismiss them. What are you so mad about? If superman Knocked WW half way across the Galaxy, that would be a durability feat for her and a strength feat for him wouldn't you say? Your getting all pissed becuz what? I'm just doing what everyone else does to me? Now you see why i get so mad dont you. You are one of the very ones who did the same bs to me. Always saying bs like where are the lifting feats? Now i'm asking the same thing. Please don't come to me with childishness becuz you can't take the very same heat you scrutinized to me.
