Thanos physically

I doubt Thanos could do what Despero did. That was his biggest feat, plowing through the JLA and JSA. Staying on your feet when you have 4 or 5 of DC's premier and strongest heroes rushing you was an amazing example of Despero's potential when he is going all out.

He's probably basing it on how easily he whooped the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Powergirl and Hawkman all at the same time.

Yes but that wasn't only physical

I'm fairly sure it was

It was physical.

The 7 heroes that had been turned villainous at the start of the book (who also fought Despero) were controlled by the avatars of the 7 deadly sins. And Despero only mind controlled ordinary humans (a whole city which is a pretty impressive telepathy feat) so the end fight was purely physical.

IIRC I thought he specifically hit powergirl with a mental attack during the all out fight.

He also held up the Rock of Eternity if that means much 😬

Despero still has better lifting feats and 3 eyes!

Not at all. The Hulk that did that was not Prof Hulk. Also Superman has moved much more than that. Superman+CM+PG+WW+Liberty Bell+Hourman>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hulk.

DEES nuts 😬

If it wasnt Proff/smart Hulk who was it then.

It was indeed the Professor Hulk personae that lifted the Mountain Savage Hulk wasn't in the Secret Wars if I remember correctly. Despero can not lift more than the Hulk as the Hulk has no upper limit to his strength, and could exceed his mountain lifting feat, as he did on Sakaar by actually holding the planet together using nothing more than raw strength.

Thanos' strength feats include him manhandling the Thing and Thor with relative ease, chumping the Hulk, and the Thing with relative ease, beating the Silver Surfer into a near coma state with a smile, and tanking Thor's best while he was amped via the Power Gem.

Thanos with the Power Gem was able to turn Captain America's Shield into dust with one slap. The Champion destroyed a planet with a punch while possessing this Gem.

Thanos gets my vote.

Again though.. it wasn't just physical by any means. I think Despero and Thanos are close in strength.

A bodies ability to tank injury is a direct testament of it's strength.

I see your point, and it is canon even though the conception of Prof. Hulk being different than any other intelligent Hulk could be considered poor writing. Grey Hulk being the one exception.
