And I'm telling you it doesn't apply unless this is the LSH Mordru. Prior to the 30th century version, he didn't have that weakness. This is the Mordru that fought the JSA. Not the one who fought the LSH. And Thanos doesn't have the raw power needed. Mordru knows his weakness and won't give him the chance.
And it doesn't apply to begin with.

Thanos took two of Odin's blasts without even moving. Odin took two of Thanos' blast...one of which he was forced to shield himself against with his arms. Odin summons Gungir and blasts Thanos - which takes him by surprise and sends him flying into Asgard proper - but totally unscathed by it. Then, prepared for it, he walks right through the second Gungir blast, forces the staff downward and sends them both flying...to which Thanos is finally injured and Odin is not (and duh, why would he be - hitting Odin with the Odinforce is redundant.)
It wasn't a stomp. But Odin was clearly shown to be superior.

Funny how up in arms people are getting over a simple, logical point. I'm not saying Thanos is more powerful than Mordru by any means, I'm simply saying Thanos has an avenue of attack to exploit, and the power to do so, against a superior opponent.If people would take a moment, step back, and think about what I'm saying, it makes perfect sense.
Thanos is only as smart as the writer of the comic in which he appears. You're projecting your own thoughts into Thanos' head based upon what you already know.
Mordru 10/10.

Because in that story Captain Marvel was amp to full magical power. Average Captain Marvel have slimmer chances. As someone said earlier....how do you kill a ghost?
😬 When were we talking about Captain Marvel? But, since you bring it up - even an unamped CM was taking repeated shots from Spectre prior to receiving his amp.
As for "killing" Spectre - I never suggested it. You can beat someone without killing that someone.

So "in character" Thanos is not going to exploit a weakness in an opponent he observes during combat, or attempt to restrain an opponent?
If anybody believes Thanos is going to use his powers here to do anything other than being on the defensive, he's sorely mistaken. It isn't a weakness that is likely to present itself, anyway.
Thanos would be lucky to survive the onslaught of Mordru's full power.

Meh. Thanos has tech shields and energy shields. But I totally agree that he'd be on the defensive for the vast majority of the time.

Christ Delph........it's a non issue. MORDRU DOES NOT HAVE TAETOPHOBIA UNTIL THE 30TH CENTURY. This is the JSA Mordru, NOT LSH. The weakness does not exist yet. 😬
I thought we used the latest incarnation of a character unless otherwise stated by the thread starter?

I believe Thanos has options, including his telepathy and matter manipulation, and though he's out gunned, he could find a way to win if the opportunity presented itself, which I personally see as a possibility in a purely hypothetical battle scenario.

I might be confusing this with the other Mordru thread. If so, I apologize for badgering you. 😮:Frankly, I do not believe he has the power to survive long enough to exploit the weakspot or have the means to figure it out.
Telepathic assaults are usually pretty good for gleaning information.

Thanos didn't even remotly injury Odin on anyway...he took all of Thanos best shots and literally went unphased with no serious injury. Imagine if u were in a MMA fight and every shot/take down u throw was walked through...and imgaine if all ur opponent did was land 2 blows that rendered u pratically useless, thats pretty much what happen to Thanos.

Won't be happening, its a rare weakness and will he really have the time to act before a full power onslaught lol.

I never claimed Thanos injured Odin. I said he was forced to block one blast. Read.
Thanos also tanked two of Odin's blasts without resorting to flinching or blocking. Then, the first Gungir-amped blast caught Thanos off-guard and sent him flying. But again, he was totally unscathed and unharmed. The second Gungir blast he was ready for and literally walked through, grabbed Odin's arm and forced his staff down - which blasted them both off. That's where Thanos was injured. And it makes sense Odin was not. He was hit with the Odinforce, afterall - his own energy. Picture Superman being hit by a yellow solar radiation burst.
Regardless of that, Thanos stood up quickly and would've continued the fight despite Odin's protests, had it not been for SS and Warlock's intervention. Thanos was not seriously harmed. And has been upgraded twice since. And didn't bother using any shielding during their bout.
Food for thought.
