It was never stated they could reform from subatomic particles. And theres a difference in reforming from atoms to be able to consciously control your subatomic particles to prevent a being who can control them from doing so. Either way it doesn't matter because no one has been able to say how thanos could kill Dr. M. yet theres been multiple ways given that manhattan could kill thanos (a million doctor manhattans blasting and manipulating thano's sub atomic structure for one).

facepalm. I never even mentioned thanos reforming from atoms as he isnt going to be disincoporated anyways. Thanos has complete control of his structure thanks to his enhanced matter manipulation abilities.(superior to that of Dr manhattans). Hence their is no way manhattan will be matter manipulating someone who has that ability on a superior level than he does. And its already been mentioned that thanos will mentally take out Dr Manhattan. Or he could drain his lifeforce/spiritetc. That is an attack on more of a mystical level.

And even a million Dr manhattans attacking thanos will really have no impact. His feats are regarding blastpower/matter manip are not in anyway high enough to give us reason to believe he can hurt thanos at all. Its like a million ants trying to break down a titanium door.

I realize Thanos feats of blowing up galaxy and stuff is more than what Doctor M has done. But my point is...Thanos can only control his atomic structure. Not sub atomic. Dr. M can control sub atomic. So why is it that he can't control Thanos sub atomic structure when even thanos hasn't been shown in his current form to control matter in his own body on that level?

Manhattan is a GOD in the Watchmen because everyone else are humans. But there's big chances that Silver Surfer would whoop his ass. They have the same powerset, but while Manhattan wouldn't be able to stop all URSS missiles, Surfer would be able to whip the URSS out of the picture with a tough.

And Thanos killed Surfer with 3 punches.

Thanos control of his bodily structure has never been limited to only atomic/molecular or whatever. He has been descriped as having complete control over his own entire structure and has shown to be able to manipulate matter on the subatomic level and even overcome others who themselves have complete control of their entire physical structure as well.

so thanos can't be physically injured then? as he could also reform any physical injury instantaneously like dr. m could?

1. he has shown limited transmutation? yeah, cuz he was only in 1 issue. but neither has there been a limit to his transmutation...ie I can't say he can transmute better than thanos, and you can't say thanos can transmute better than Dr. m.

Nonsense.Yes Due to manhattans limited appearances and lack of feats, we cant truly determine the limits of his abilities, this is clear. Hence he shouldnt be placed in vs matches in the first place. But since he has been placed in this environment we have to use the criteria with which we determine combatants powerlevels i.e feats. And based on that Thanos transmutation>>>>Dr Ms

. could surfer teleport? yes, like you said. but certainly not with the ease that Dr. M has demonstrated. or else why would surfer travel on the board...I'm sure instantaneous is faster than whatever speed he gets on the board.

Surfers board has shown to be faster than teleportation. Also its an extremely false assumption that teleportation is difficult for surfer. He has shown a much wider range of teleportation than manhattan there has never been any indication of it being difficult. ITs simpl one of the many methods he has for transportation

. how does surfer travel through time? Im asking seriously because that seems a bit of a godlike power to me. and why doesnt he change the past then?

Surfers time travels multiple ways. He has shown to peel back the layers of time,break through the time barrier with his speed,and simply move thru different time periods. Also he doesnt change the past because he knows that it has serious repercussionsIn marvel anyways

again, surfer can create copies of himself? why doesn't he do that in battles against tough opponents...certainly would be helpful to have multiple surfers rather than just one if you're fighting thanos, wouldnt you agree?

Surfer doesnt use some of these tactics in battle mainly because of CIS. Also in no way to a multiple surfer=multiple manhattans. Surfer himself is far above manhattan whether based on feats or solely powersets.

unproven works both ways. I can't say with absolute certainty he can't be destroyed, and neither can you say he can be. we do know he has reformed from atoms and survived without a body.

As i said, once he is placed within the KMC environment feats hold way. Manhattan has shown no resistance to such attacks that work on a beyond physical and mystical level

I never said telepathy won't work. But it certainly isn't a given that it will since his consciousness is so different from human minds.

He has consciousness. thats enough. Thanos telepathy has overwhelmed other high level telepaths as well as beings that werent human as well so he actually has evidence of such working. On the other hand Manhattan has shown no resistance to such attacks once aain. And since this is a vs match, feats once again hold sway.

8. nice, too bad they don't do so more often then, as surfer and thanos are pretty much always trying to destroy with their blasts. it would seem more efficient to destroy with just a thought if they were so capable.

They have displayed their matter manipulating abiliteis more than enough times to show they are capable. Their blasts have a greater damage output as they are often facing beings against whom matter manip is ineffective. Doesnt change the fact that they CAN do so when they choose to. And yet they do not even have close to "limitles power"

The silly argument of "limitless power" does not even work in regards to people with far higher feats and displays of power than Dr manhattan.

The following people have been warned:

I never claimed such. His matter manip abilities enable him to resist and prevent any attempt at the manipulation of his structure.

Just wondering, do you think Dr. M could beat a Celestial?

I don't know. I can't say he could because he doesn't have enough high feats. I can't say he can't because he hasn't shown limits. I don't think Dr. M should be in versus threads.

Aren't you arguing for him to win here?

no. Im arguing the fact that people say 'dr. m has no feats, therefore he loses' is a ridiculous line of argumentation. I personally believe he can beat thanos, but I don't think I have enough support to debate such a position.

thanos ftw via mind rape.

for all his power, it was ALSO said in the series that dr m would be UNABLE to take out ALLthe soviet union's missles if they launched a nuclear attack against the USA. if he can't even take out a bunch of missles, i really don't know how we can suppose he's able to destroy worlds or galaxies . . .

i think there's enough about dr to put in threads--JUST enough to make discussions about him . . . interesting. otoh, the upgraded ss has not faced thanos, and it seems he would be better able to put up a fight. enough? probably not, but still, i don't think this is a complete stompage. 馃檪

to put that into perspective, Superman had trouble taking out one nuclear missile in Kingdom Come

Team Thanos for the win

He can only take out 99% of the missles.

He probably didn't take out the last one because it's part of how the world works. He doesn't bother with human affairs.
As I see it, it is part of GOD's plan, and he has no right to alter that event.

Surfer is pretty much a non-factor for Thanos.

This match boils down to Dr. Manhattan VS Thanos.

The question is: What could Thanos do to harm Dr. Manhattan? Even if Thanos somehow generate tachyons and attack Dr. Manhattan with them, the effects are temporary. And Dr. Manhattan will instantaneously recover if Thanos tries dissolving him.

On the other hand, Dr. Manhattan has power over molecules. He can literally blow up any solid matter. And AFAIK, Thanos is made up of molecules and cells. If Dr. Manhattan fights with full intent, he blows up Thanos into smithereens.

Unbelievable. Somehow... Surfer who has uber feats, stats and versatility isn't a factor and Dr. M is the deciding factor. You actually have that backwards. Dr. M has shown me nothing to say he could defeat Thanos or anybody on his level. Hyperbolic statements with limited feats don't get you wins on KMC.

Thanos, easily. Surfer would annihilate Manhattan to by the way.

that's actually inaccurate--it was said he could only take out 60% of the ussr's missiles. as far as the bit about god's plan . . . 馃槕

anyway, i made the statement in direct reference to another post postulating that jon's powers are 'unlimited' and that he could possibly destroy galaxies . . .
