Superman vs Thanos

I've seen people pitting Thanos against Superman 1 Million as if to say that the regular Superman would stand no chance against Thanos, but I have something to say to the contrary.

Superman has beaten Darkseid who seems every bit as powerful as Thanos.

Superman is faster than Thanos in nearly every way.

Superman is "arguably" as durable if not moreso.

Superman has just as many exotic abilities as Thanos, if not a little more.

In this scenario Superman is on his way back to Earth from doing a routine sweep of the solar system. On his way back he suddenly sees what appears to be a large explosion. In an effort to get get back faster, he decides that he must fly through the sun.

As he bursts from the raging inferno, he sees his worse nightmare... the Earth is no longer blue but is now a desolate wasteland, and all of it's inhabitants have been killed including Lois Lane. On careful inspection he sees one large figure, larger than a man walking towards what appears to be a chair much like Metron's Mobius chair.

Enraged he flies to intercept this mystery being at near light speeds and finds himself face to face with the large humanoid who introduces himself as Thanos.

Thanos asks him how he survived when everyone else on the pitiful planet had died. Thanos tells Superman that the Earth now belongs to his beloved Death, and that soon he will be a new addition!

Without warning Superman attacks Thanos with a fury that he has never known before.

Who wins?

Been done b4...

Thanos still kicks his ass.

I checked and it was not there so this is the first time that regular Superman faces Thanos in a discussion. It says new thread if you check.

So why do you think that Thanos would beat a blood lusted Superman?

This thread needs quan and Avlon.

Yeah, just for entertainment or else it will be dead.

Superman can beat Thanos, not everyone feels he'll get majority. But his showings certainly show that a character like Thanos isn't beyond him at all.

Thanos kick his ass. Superman is maybe faster that Thanos, but Thanos have a lot of reaction times.

And when it comes h2h, just see what Thanos did to Surfer to see what it would happen to Sups.

I tend to agree here....without knowledge of supermans weakness,i see a better fight than thanos vs surfer....and under these circumstances..i can see superman win some matches....i just feel supermans dependance on solar energy is his downfall

Actually, I didn't read the entirety of the original post, thinking I was just reading about what he thought of the fight, not that there was a scenario involved..

In this scenario, Thanos doesn't a chance in hell.

If he sundips, and finds Earth gone and Lois dead, Thanos won't last long.

Does Thanos have cosmic awareness?

"He decides that he must fly through the sun" how long is this dip? at his fastest speed, he dips for less than a second. Thats not enough IMO.

thanos for heavy majority

lulz at superman being more durable than thanos or being more versatile.

thanos wins regardless.

lulz @ thanos actually having feats that compare to Supermans. Let alone the one in this scenario.

As a matter of fact he does of superior feats to superman hence the reason he is a a few tiers above him.

Superman survived the anti-sun exploding, that would have wiped half a galaxy.
He also survived a point blank 700[at least] lightyear explosion. While almost powerless.
He's also survived a black hole unaided.
In the Phantom Zone, Superman was bombarded with entropy, and then simply willed himself back, reconstituting his body.

Superman, when he's not toning it down for the sake of others[and especially amped and to avenge Lois and Earth here], is more outright powerful than Thanos is. His durability is greater, his speed is greater, his strength is greater. All the cards are on his table.

What's his best speed feat?
His best strength feat?

I can do this all day.

While I'm on the topic, who was the last skyfather or universal level being Thanos toppled on his own without prep or IG or some such? I bet his record against truly powerful opponents is nothing compared to Superman. And no getting smashed by Odin and running from Tyrant aren't examples of real winning.

Feat for feat, Superman is better than Thanos on his own straight up in personal combat. And Thanos > Surfer > Superman doesn't cut it, because that can be done both ways. Easily.

Many of Surfers fans even think Surfer mostly gets through a fight by technicality, that he's 'suited to do it', while Thanos isn't in the same fashion. Especially not in this scenario.

Superman is way too powerful now, DS and Thanos should be higher than him. But for the last little bit he normaly beats DS, which is crap. Supes should lose to DS and Thanos.

People biitch when Logan is beating people higher than him but its ok when Superman does it? BS...

That exploding anti sun didnt superman absorb it? I believe he did, if he absorbed it then he certainly didnt take the full force of the blast. Thanos straight up tanked blast from an angry Odin using gungir and has taken similar blasts from tyrant and the maker.

Speaking of energy absorbtion Thanos has absorbed enough energy to make the entire universe scream

Thanos was able to ko the maker who is skyfather level+ send galactus flying, has shields that have easily withstood attacks from the likes of Omega and which galactus has even admitted there strength. Thanos is on another level from supes
