Spit some more then amigo....not 1 mention of Rip Hunter? I mean, come on...he saved a multiverse with Booster Gold...if that is not being a prep king...I don´t know what is.
I´d like to see Thanos save the multiverse with Rhino as his prep. Now THAT would be a feat!

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 just have to give the respect to Doom. I think heś done better considering his resources. Sure Thanos may have obtained the theoretical highest power in MU (higher than pre-retcon Beyonder?)but Doom outsmarting and stealing Galactus and Beyonders power in a much more direct manner is much more impressive IMO.
Thanos didn´t actually fight or trick the infinity being nor TOAA to get his power. I see it akin to what Hal Jordan did when he became Parallax.
Impressive feat? Yes...definitely. The best prep? Not neccesarily.
Alexander Luthor recreating the Multiverse in DC. Awesome prep all the way through. ICś genious wasn´t the end battles...it was the incredible prep that AL put to pull that off...manipulating everyone from the Teen Titans to the Spectre to the long dead Anti-monitor to pull that off.
If you haven read that series...itś definitely a must read.

I don't give Thanos the edge because of THOTI,
because in fact,
Thanos was manipulated into that position by the "Almighty" himself.
Thanos's acquisition of the Gems is more impressive imo.
His involvement in Infinity War was more impressive aswell imo.
But one part of the END that stands out,
is when Thanos realizes that Doom is the most efficient being on Earth in terms of Tech and preparation,
Thanos did go on to add,
that he was beyond Doom.
He solidified this when we discover Doom secretly spying on everyone,
and actually figuring out how to stop Akahanaten,
guess who's spying on Doom though?
Thanos's prep capabilities are greater than Doom's imo.
But what makes Doom more impressive imo,
is the fact that he's just a mortal man, (with some mystical knowledge)
who has accomplished goals that nearly or do rival Thanos'.

I don know if this neccesarily makes Thanos a better prepped being...in the sense that Thanos and Doomś goals are different in a sense. Doom could care less about Thanos...if Doom figured that he had to somehow take out Thanos to achieve some kind of greater end...I pretty sure the storyline wouldn be much different in regards to Doom keeping an eye on Thanos.
The fact that Thanos even worries about Doom is impressive on Dooms end considering that since Doom is more interested in earthly matters than in universal ones like Thanos is.

Which is exactly why I place Doom just above Thanos *prep* wise.

Is person 'B' automatically more intelligent, just because he has the most "high-tech" piece of equipment? 😬
