Who is the top 5 prep kings in comics?

Considering the massive amount of prep, resources, and time he needed, no I do not consider his prep "godly" or the best of the best.

As I said, give Doom access to the same materials Thanos has, and Doom would outperform him.

How much prep did it take? What resources did he use, and how much time did he need? You don't no, so stop the speculation.

Baseless, and biased. Thanos prep > Dooms prep. I mean the guy plans for every possible outcome of a situation, that alone places him with the best of the prepsters.

lol is this suppose to cause me to shake in my shoes?

I respect Mr. M as a debater, but I have no problem in debating with him if its some thing I truly want to make a stand for (such as the Michael+Lucifer Vs. Lt thread).

So please by all do little lapdog, call your master.

It was stated by marvel itself, that the events of the end took place in a separate universe from the 616.

Actually the End took place in 616.

It's Canon.

Yall are having a good debate,

proceed.

Again you make baseless assumptions, and ignore the evidence provided by others.

Thanos plans for every possible outcome? Sure didn't look like it when Drax's hand plunged through his chest and killed him; or when he was betrayed by his partner in crime during the Anihilation Wave.

Thanos prep when in comparison with the resources and time he uses to accmplish his feats, is horrible ineffecient.

Doom has performed feats which have outperformed Thanos to an Nth degree when it comes to timeXresources=results

Not true, it was not 616, it was stated by Marvel it was a separate universe.

The marvel statement came after the End series and its references, thus it is the most recent retcon in correlation to it.

It took place in Earth(reality)-4321

I don't know about the rest of these prep kings,

but Reed is up there.

Doom is above Reed.

and Thanos is above Doom.

Doom is a close second, I have to give Doom his props.

I didn't assume anything, I actually did otherwise. Others have yet to provide evidence of how long it took Thanos to prepare for THOI, you on the other hand decided you knew and decided it took a massive amount of time. I already knew the question, but In turn I asked you how you knew. You don't, so stop the speculation.

He had prepared for Drax to appear, however Drax is the silver bullet to than Wear wolf. He couldn't stop it regardless. However this doesn't change the fact that on panel it was stated Thanos to plan for every possible outcome of a situation.

Another baseless statement. Stop debating of speculation.

You don't even know the exact numbers either character takes to prep so how would you know either way?

You're getting your info from Wiki, and that's a mistake.

I have all the Bios of 2006 and 07 updates.

I can splash this thread with atleast 8 Offical Marvel Handbook Bios,

LT, the Abstracts, Thanos Warlock and on ... there's actually more than 8 Bios,

referencing the End taking place in the Prime Universe (616)

But I'll just throw this up from the actualy Comic itself:

Where On Panel is this 4321 Universe mentioned?

If that isn't 616, why is Thanos reminiscing about his time with the Cosmic Cube?

If that isn't 616, why is Thanos reminiscing about his time with the Infinity Gauntlet?

If that isn't 616, why is Thanos reminiscing about his time when he died and became Death's servant?

And don't tell me that perhaps an "Alternate Version" coincidentally happened to have the EXACT same experiences as Thanos 616.

As you know, that's why they are termed "Alternate" because they are different,

And had this "Reality 4321, Diverged from 616,

some indication On Panel or in the Bios would have let that be known.

I dunno, when I consider prep, I don't think of Thanos getting godlike powers as part of it. It's a plot-move, in that it's just intrisic to his character to seek these out [or was anyways].

However, knowing Galactus was coming to kill him in a half hour, do you think he's going to run and find and ultimate universe destroying power, or is it more likely he will end up in physical confrontation anyways, as many of his showings suggest? Where in the same instance - Reed in my opinion would have some sort of transdimensional transponder hypergigadevice of some sorts to resolve the problem, or at least come through with a more rational way of dealing with the Devourer than direct confrontation.

This is why I was saying earlier that he doesn't seem much more impressive than a lot of the others mentioned in the thread outside of the idea that besides being incredibly crafty, he is a cosmic powerhouse as well.

Actually, one of the company executives made a post on the CBR boards that stated that The End was officially non - canon.

I'll see if I can find it.

Thanos prepped for the THOHI?

THOI choose Thanos, it had nothing to do with Thanos prep or intelligence, merely but his will that he had.

Don't waste your time Mike,

I seen Alex Ross, Mark Silvestri, Ron Lim and Grant Morrison,

amongst others making cameo's in Comic Forums, that won't fly.

If the Official Marvel site, and updated Bios say it's Canon, and Canon to 616 I might add,

then it is so.

Would the marvel alternate universe handbook be considered bio material? Because that's where people are getting the universe 4321 from.

That and they came after the comic run, meaning they are the most current retcon.

We are to take your word as godsent? That of course you have communed with the legendary writers and thus your word is above all; come now, that wont fly.

The handbook and article both say it was a completely different universe (4321)

"Thanos said he had been studying about the HOTI and trying to locate it for a long time before the End started, he didn't just stumble upon it. And its referenced in his own series which is canon"

the series you keep stating that is cannon, is not, both in the Marvel article and the hand book it states the end took place in a different universe.

It also says in the same End series, that the HOTI had played Thanos like a pawn, it selected Thanos, not the other way around.

The article I posted was published Months before the End was published.

It's was about how the End was NEARLY non-canon, but that changed when the story changed.

According to that Official article,

Starlin was going to destroy All of Marvel, (for good)

but not the real Marvel Omniverse, instead a duplicate of the Marvel Universe.

Starlin changed the story obviously and had Thanos Re-Create the Marvel Universe,

this way making it sensible and Canon.

The hand book though was after the end series was it not, how is that not cannon?
