I know GL/SS wasn't canon...but it explains how 'Thanos' got into the void in the first place (as shown in the Ka-Zar series).

As far as 'Celestial Quest' goes...again, you're wrong. It was not the true Thanos. The proof is in 'Infinity Abyss'...you can choose to ignore it if you wish, but that's Thanos continuity. It's even been verified in his Handbook entry. Plus, as per more recent developments, even the most cosmic entity can be fooled by a Thanosi, (see She-Hulk).

The Walker story was the only appearance by the true Thanos in that time-frame.

The handbooks are hardly reliable sources

Unless they're based on actual events.

In this case, it's 100% accurate.

u have to rely on something, ur relying on what u think is correct when we are telling u in infinity quest. third book page 8 i think, i said. its in an ealrier post. i rely on that, and dont need a handbook, ur so wrong just admit it.

The reference was very vague, it's hardly conclusive.

the whole story was about thanos clones and in that story thanos said that wasnt him. he wouldnt lie about that. there is no evidence after that infifnity abyss that was the real thanos. u wanna believe it and believe whatver u want, then ur living in ur own world. there is nothing else to say. u say handbooks dont count and that the refence was to vague, i mean come on dude catch the reality bus.

Handbooks are often inaccurate about nearly everything, especially the character stats.

But the reference does seem to make an implication so I'll conceed for now.

Thanos was characterized in the mid-90's as more of a neutral character (from the time Starlin and Marz let go of him)...his universe-conquering days well behind him, yet in these appearances (I won't even call them stories, cause they were just utter crap) he was characterized in 1970's mode; purely as a two-dimensional brute wanting to rule the universe, when that was wasn't his M.O. at the time.

i concur his character had moved on and grown. he wasnt out to extinguish all life like he was in the past. his character has moved on from obtaining ultimate power that is why it was cool that they retconned those appearances becuz hes past that now.

I look at the Celestial Quest to be the real Thanos, and the Walker one to be a clone.
Since I mean, Death falling in love with a clone?

I read the earlier posts yes.
I know he referenced it, but it just sounds so retarded considering what he did in those comics.

A clone is going to absorb and throw out enough energy to make the universe scream?

u know what jebus i choose then since u believe that wasthe real thanos that darkseid lost to doomsday cuz why would superman save an avatar.

I don't care, I don't even like Darkseid.
Plus, the difference is that Death didn't notice the difference, and Superman doesn't have the insight of Death.

no the point is this it was referenced in infinity abyss number 3 and was retconned. there is nothing we can do about it. as much as when the original writers planned for whatevr reason for it to be the real darkseid or the real thanos sometimes when they lose they get retconned. with the celestail quest it was completely out of character for how thanos has changed since the infinity gauntlet saga. that was the old thanos. its not how he acts anymore.

so u think, hes to overconfident. thanos has accomplished more than galactus ever has. hes become the biggest baddest being how many times. galactus neevr upgrades, he is content while thanos strives for more. thanos is definitely smarter than galactus. its not even close.

galactus has almost all the knowledge of the universe. he has no reason to seek more power because almost no one is a threat to him in his universe. seriously, if galactus used a full powered blast at thanos, it'd be all over for the titan. i don't care what plot device or prep strategy he uses.
unlike thanos, galactus has no desire to conquer the universe, but that doesn't mean he couldn't. he just doesn't attempt it.

now quanchi, this is what's called GOOD logic. not sure if you've seen this before.

galactus would beat him a straight up power fest, i neevr denied this. but thanos is smarter than galactus by tons. like i said before imagine galactus trying to match wits with the grand master. galactus usually relies on his power i cant rememebr him outsmarting a genius such as grand master. galactus may have knowledge but isnt manipulative as many other characters and if to often overconfident. he rushee bad decisions to often without thinking things through. intelligence wise thanos is his superior.
