If we go by low showings thenKK has been shown to struggle against multiple MA's in his book (precrisis with none having nearly as impressive feats and showings as him) and in fact barely scraped by in a particular showing thanks to being "good minded."

This thread is the perfect example of stupid writers not knowing what to do with a character. Few comic stories have EVER made me as angry/disappointed as Jim Starlin's Thanos vs Champion fight. Champion has to be the most unfairly abused character in comic book history. At 10' & 5000lbs w/Class 100 strength and mastery of every close combat discipline in the galaxy, he should be completely unbeatable. Period.
This thread should be a friggin' joke. Here's how this fight should actually look:
The Champion is no such a thing. What we have are perfect examples of:
Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics. Examples of PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman.
...completely at odds with how he was originally established when he made his first appearance.

If you read the old comic, he never had the gem when he fought earth's heroes.

???So a PIS story that bs'd EVERYTHING anyone ever knew about the character became his new standard?
I mean that as in, his best showing, was 10 times better than any other showing, and he still got his ass handed to him. Even his best showing betrays his skill.
Either Champion is overated, or Thanos is under...

Your idea of "best showing" differs wildly from my own, Jebus.
His best showing was when he arrived on earth and challenged earth's heroes to a boxing match. He was skilled in our own MA and crushed opponant after opponant, calmly, intelligently, efficiently.
In the fight with Thanos, Starlin had him acting like a mindless brute who used his sized to overwhelm opponants, fought emotionally and abandoned any idea of skill-in-technique.
So when you say "best showing" you are obviously talking about Thanos (Jim Starlin's own creation! 😖) not the Champion.

Too bad his vagina showings outweigh his uber showings.
The guy is a stone cold, crab-infected, gaping vagina.
