Debatable in this scenario since Sinestro has shown more tactical expertise than Thanos.

FALSE. Thanos has crushed the Surfer who is a very capable energy manipulator. He beats him like he owns him. Same scenario here. Thanos is much smarter than Sinestro to boot.

Quan are you mad?! I think you're all mad if you think Thanos is going to win even one battle. Thanos can not overcome the super sinister mustache of Sinestro, not even his shields. Sinestro's mustache is the key source of his power and with it he will crush the Mad Titan.

Forget about surfer then. What about people like Tyrant. Quasar. Thor. Hulk. Just about every Elder of the Universe... Adam Warlock... Odin... Galactus... The Rot

Thanos destroys Sinestros home planet. And then watches Sinestro cry. Then kicks him whiles he's down... just for fun.

If he came after Sinestro's planet he'd have to deal with the Sinestro Corps and then it is Thanos who'll be crying. We're talking thousands of nasty villains across the cosmos with Qwardian energy amps.

Indeed. ✅

EDIT: Fear the power ring of fear; fear the mustache

Not if he just bombs it. Suicide Thanosi's work too!

One capable fighter can beat every unnamed GL/SC.

Coordinating a universal war between the Sinestro Corps and the Green Lanterns. Managing such an army that supposed to function on a universal scale is more tactical and strategic responsibility than Thanos ever had.

QFT.

That, and if Sinestro is going to get SC backup, Thanos gets Thanosi support. 😄

The Corps is made up of thousands of Qwardian power ring wielders, you'd have to have a death wish going after Sinestro's planet alone, unless you're some uber being on Galactus type level, bad idea. The number of cannon fodder you might assume he'd meet is probably less than 20.

If Juggernaut had a GL ring, he could do it...

The Thanosi aren't numerous or powerful enough to go after the Corps. Sinestro could throw a 100 cannon fodder types (not that the "cannon fodder" even number a 100) and still get the job done. A single ring has great potential for destruction, even if the wielder is classified cannon fodder, but with no PIS restrictions, even just a small fraction of the Corps: bad situation.

In non PIS situation very debatable. He could take 10 regulars (maybe) max.

cannon fodder is every unnamed member, I already said that.

Unnamed in the fiction doesn't classify someone as cannon fodder especially when you're dealing with people who have power that's dependent on fear.

And given that every member of the Corps had to have fearsome reputations before being given Qwardian power rings, I'd say the cannon fodder compromise a very small bunch of the Corps.

You're more likely to find cannon fodder among the Green Lantern Corps than in the Sinestro Corps, every member of the SC had to have had a fearsome rep beforehand just to get into the club, not so for GL's.

EDIT: And of course there were logistical reasons why some 6000+ Corps members weren't named. The story can only focus on so many.

Outside of the plot (where character can be hyped or preserved because the company wants to keep them alive), these Corps members (nearly each one) are a fearsome proposition, because of the power twielded in a single Qwardian power ring.

Seeing as the GL/SC seemed pretty much evenly matched when the GLs were unable to kill, and looked even better when they were given the ability to kill, I'm going to respectfully disagree.

If you have a power ring in DC and you don't have a name, you can be beaten by Robin.

In DC (I already explained the obvious reason for that) not in a forum battle, there a difference I thought? No PIS?

Unnamed GL/SC are shit level, there is no difference from the comics to the forum.

There isn't PIS, they are just stupid.

Whatever, you're not making much of a point. The forum rules dictate no PIS. PIS is the only reason why character x isn't dead when he should be.

Of course power levels vary, but being outnumbered by people wielding power rings of fear each person a fearsome villain in their own right, each person having developed a fearsome reputation in their sector of space.

An up hill battle, it's not my concern if writers undermine their own concepts.

But seriously, the Thanosi include Omega - a being twice as powerful as Galactus, and Warrior - a Superman clone who is four times stronger than Thanos. The SC would take a beating.

Also, anyone who gives Sinestro a chance at lasting longer than 45 seconds here needs to re-evaluate their life choices, because drugs are bad.
