Who can one-shot Thanos?

If you're gonna read a post, it's smart to read the WHOLE thing.

I clearly stated a very clear opinion with a high level of clarity.

I said Big G level and above. That was my opinion. It was clear. Should I do what everyone else does and argue over small feats? "Who did this to whom and under what circumstances? PIS? Did Loeb write it? Was it standard version? Did they have such-and-such plot device? Did Big-G eat his veggies?" Blah blah blah. The dude in question is Thanos, so the answer is simple. No one but Galactus level and above is going to one shot Thanos. Simple question, simple answer.

Do you feel better now that I wasted a whole paragraph to restate my opinion? What a waste of time. I'll tell you what. I'll think about it, and I'll hit you with the perfect non-Galactus level dude to one-shot Thanos.

I was also laughing at Trickster's opinion.

... Darkseid.

Good post and I see the points your making and do agree to a certain degree. I think though by your own admission he statement could be taken literally. However, lets take your assumption as fact which is fine by me... That takes nothing away from my point. People were saying a full blast from a skyfather would kill Thanos. Someone else says a full blast from a fellow trans would do the trick. I was merely pointing out that he's taken a blast from a pissed off galactus (abstract) that wasn't full strength but clearly he exerted energies and was really impressed with the shielding of Thanos. Then more blast from a very powerful Omega who again could be Abstract or certainly way higher then Trans and his shields again pretty much held up. Blast from Tyrant and Odin without his shielding. One where a skyfather (Odin) was pissed and summoned his special weapon. I was merely saying that I believe Thanos has shown it would take a lot more then a blast from a Trans character to kill him.

Agreed. I'm merely pointing out that once we enter into the realm of Galactus-level characters, that's when Thanos can definitely be one-shotted. Galactus was impressed and was preparing a second blast, which both parties knew would end Thanos' life. Galactus simply didn't try "hard enough."

With Odin Thanos withstood multiple direct blasts. Odin was causing damage to Asgard with the energies he was unleashing so it's safe to say that Odin was more than "exerting" himself.

Using that fight purely as a barometer for sky-father characters, I would say Thanos cannot be one-shotted by sky-father; he can definitely be one shotted by cosmic entity level. The soft spot is somewhere inbetween.

No. He said that he "exerted himself" trying to pierce Thanos' shields.

When you jog, you exert yourself. When you sprint, you exhaust yourself.

Also, if he's walking through Odin's Gungir blast without the aid of any shielding, no skyfather is ever one-shotting him under these stips.

Yes, I saw what Tene posted and it could be true, but that's not what you posted, so it's irrelevant to our conversation. IF Galactus was needing to feed after one blast, which is what you said, then he was already close to needing to feed before the blast.

A blast that killed a Watcher, 3 star systems, and countless other beings sure seems to point to the fact that it was more powerful than the one that was used on Thanos, in addition to the above, he had more incentive to use a more powerful blast than the one he used on Thanos.

Thanos has taken a blue gas giant going supernova in his face, and came away from it with a few pieces of his clothing having holes in it. Nothing more. He's been inside a black hole for probably several hours, etc.

Some of the blasts being talked about here would be laughable if Thanos had to face them with his full shielding up.

I thought it over a bit.

I think, with careful planning. Dr. Strange could do it.

I'm not saying show up at Thanos' place and "pow". But if he thought it over and organized a careful strategic plan with the help of the Illuminati, he could utilize his powers for power buffs, spell preparations, etc. If he could focus all his mystic power and charge it into one prepared shot, teleport right behind Thanos, and THEN... pow. I think if Thanos didn't see it coming to brace for it, and got it right in the back of the head. Strange could probably KO him. Or at least TKO, with Thanos kinda reeling on the ground. But can't kill him.

Afterwards, Strange should haul ass.

I'm pretty sure he also said that he had 'depleted vital energies' attacking Thanos. Regardless, Galactus was trying and Thanos was fine.

Seriously, are you drunk?

Thanos was not fine and Galactus had not depleted vital energies. Your recollections are rarely this far away from the actual events that occured 😎

Am I kinda right or dead wrong on the Strange thing?

Thanos would walk up and punch her in the face after she fails.

I know. I'm hardly serious.
But if she had prep and he didn't...

HMMMMMMM.

And I guess he might not have been fine. He had a little blood running from one nostril. And part of his outfit was wrecked. He didn't seem anywhere close to unconsciousness or death, though.

Galactus notes, "dealing with you has depleted vital energies." This was after saying that he had exerted himself piercing Thanos' force field. All in Thanos #5.

you personally think a blast that off'd a watcher wouldn't ko thanos, shields and all? and that blast did what--demolish 3 solar systems? a galaxy busting attack, which odin at least is capable of, is so much bigger than that it's hard to quantify . . . KT keeps asking for proof that he could be ko'd, but i'd love to see proof that he could stand in the middle of a galaxy-busting attack and still be standing.

Didn't Galactus have Thanos on his damn knees begging to be heard out after getting blasted? Doesn't sound like being fine to me.

He's taken previous galaxy-buster's energy attacks and walked through them before. 😬 The 3+ solar system blast (let's not short-change Galactus there, it said it had destroyed 3 systems and didn't show signs of slowing down) didn't even KO Annihilus. You think it'd put down Thanos? For real?

And no, as shown repeatedly, a Watcher's durability < Thanos's. They've been one-shot more than once. More than twice.
