Force fields vs. Shields

Lanterns total encompassing force fields tend to be stronger than a construct shield. I.E. Kyle's universe saving force shield. THe main point of this thread is that someone tried to elude that Thanos could create a force shield as strong as the one's he had with his tech by just saying that he created a shield against the Fallen one. I think that has disproven.

Shield.

You think Captain America would be seen running around with a force-field, son?

No, that's for a reason.

We are talking about ENERGY fields vs Energy Shields in the context of Thanos. Caps shield is very unique. I doubt it would be able to stand up to the pressure that Thanos's Force shield stood up to against galactus.

Oh right, we're talking about the inferior type? I get it now.

I do not think there is any difference between the two, the terms are pretty interchangeable in the context us comic geek use them.

But yeah, Thanos' shield>Cap's shield? 👇 Oh ye of little faith.

Who tried to elude to that? I was the one who made the reference to the Fallen One fight which you seemed to take issue with, and I NEVER said anything about Thanos being able to create shields as strong as his tech ones. You claimed he couldn't generate a force field without tech, and I pointed to the Fallen One fight as an example that he could, thats all.

Thanos has been referenced several times as having 3 separate force fields at his disposal.

The tech forcefield is shown in this instance:

Notice how it is clearly separate from his body and sits out in front of him. Notice also how he moves his fingers in order to bring it up. This is his tech forcefield. It causes very little to no strain to use, and doesn't seem to tap into his personal power reserves much. His personal tech power also fuels his flight and teleportation abilities.

In instances where he teleports someone you will typically see him perform finger movements, this is linked into his personal technological arsenal.

For instance:

Here Thanos uses a huge forcefield, most likely tech:

Here we see Thanos with prep having his forcefield survive Galactus' blast:

The above instances are all clearly tech forcefields.

Here is another instance, when he blocks Thor wielding the power gem:

It's clearly in the shape of a huge shield, unlike the surrounded field that he used previously, and indeed seems different than the skin-tight forcefield.

Now let's look at his personal skin-tight forcefields:
Here he takes a surprise blast from Silver Surfer. Notice it's the same tech setup as when he blocks the blast in the above picture, only this time he didn't anticipate. Notice the blast does nothing but make his armor smoke slightly, he isn't damaged in the least. This appears to be his "always-on" skintight forcefield. As this forcefield is invisible, it most likely is also tech related:

Now lastly, lets look again at the fight with Drax, note that the forcefield is purple, unlike the invisible forcefields that he had before. This is the field Drax ripped through, since Drax had the counter life force to Thanos. Had Thanos known, he most likely would have erected a tech forcefield as well to protect against Drax, as it wouldn't have had the vulnerability to Drax that his own cosmic energy field had.

It would seem that he only rarely chooses to erect his personal cosmic forcefield, which is typically drawn as having a color to it, and usually only does it briefly as it uses his own power.

So basically he has 3 tech fields (a shield looking one, a dome type forcefield, and a skintight always-on forcefield similar to a green lantern's protection aura) and a 4th shield which he can put up that's created from his own power cosmic.

Excellent summation.

I like shields but then my fav. power is T.K.
Forcefields are powerful up into a certin level but i think T.k. has unlimited potential.

I'm not going to go through this (although some of it is wrong), but what about when Thanos survived Omega's assault due to his three personal force fields?
