You know sharks in the DCU are cosmic right?

Only with prep.

What a weird thread. When Thanos creates a shield/field hes just manipulating cosmic energy, just like when he fires a blast from his hands, or eyes. He could create a flat plane or sphere if he wished.

Another one, no shields up command or hints of tech

And its been stated by the editor that only Drax has the power to rip through his fields before thats used against him.

Wait, so has Wally answered the thread?

Statements from Editors with no on panel evidence is not an answer. I dont' know if the shield was tech or prep or what. Thanos seemed to be prepped the entire arc, having everything already figured out. I dont' have all of the issues as they sold out before I could get to them, but once I do my research, i'll give an answer as to whether wally answered me or not.

the important part is the force. You know as in surround. I've never seen thanos generate a force anything around himself that was anywhere near what he does when he uses tech. That the point of this.

Yes in Thanos # 6 i think... He stops a blast from Galactus with a surrounding force field. Even Galactus mentions something about being impressed by it.

No. THat force field was most def tech. Thanos was prepped for that.

I say it depends on the situation. Shields put less stress on the body. But Force Fields require effort and concentration to keep them up.

Um just discuss it. Are force shields and shields the same? If so why? if not why? Which is superior. Can thanos make FS on his own?

Well, a Force-Field is intriniscally a sheild, but if you meant for a definition in the context comics I suppose it's simply a variation of one.

By your logic, Nvr, when Invisible Woman uses her power to create a blade of energy, or somesuch (she's done it before), her power is no longer to make force fields?

She wasn't using tech to do it though.

How do you know when he is using tech or not? The shield is made by him with no machines or anything around him. He does wield PC, why wouldnt that shield be made of cosmic energy?

The one against Galactus is definately tech because he issues a voice command just before it goes up, "Activate all defensive shielding", like he does with the shield against Champion. Thats how you can tell when he is using a tech shield, he says it, other times he generates it himself like against Fallen One.

I was just reffering back to the surround thing.

Oh, I haven't read whatevers been posted lately... did Nvr say forcefields have to be tech?

You and your subtleties.

Only Thanos' force fields have to be tech, apparantly. Thanos can generate a 'shield', not not a 'field' it seems.
