Mantis vs. Thanos

Who takes it?

Does Mantis start with a power charge? 2nd, can he absorb power by touch, punches, or just energy blasts?

Ehhh.... I'm gonna let someone else argue this one. I don't know enough about Mantis. srug

Thanos pretty much owned the most powerful version of Mantis in Avengers: Celestial Quest

Wrong Mantis, this is the one from DC.

Oh sorry.

DC Mantis?

Could someone direct me to a couple of comics involving him? Tell me what to read at least 🙂

There's not alot on him. He hasn't shown up in DC in awhile.

Well, it says in his wiki bio that he was defeated by Spiderman.. sooo 😬.

You know..

I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to say Thanos wins then?

I actually think Thanos could defeat him in hand to hand combat.

Given Thanos' amazing martial arts skill and all.

Cross-overs exist, my child.

Broaden your horizons.

The only way I could do that would be to climb a mountain.

And since I live in Yemen 😬

I'm 90% sure that was a crossover. 😛

Darkseid gave Mantis his powers.

This isn't exactly a good showing for Mantis, but it shows how much juice he can store. Mantis fires the full power of Hal Jordan's GL ring at Darkseid.

How hard is it to overload him?

It's pretty hard to do. Mantis has drained power from guys like Infinity Man, GLs, and others. Thanos might be able to do it, but again, I'm not sure.

Do you think Thanos would risk it?

If he wasn't able to overload him, it'd be hell.
