it's okay.. just read some thanos comics and you will feel better to know that you were wrong the whole time and you only have yourself to blame. 😄

I've read almost every single comic with Thanos in it. And the ones I missed I saw in his respect thread. He is great. But most of his good stuff is from planning and preparation, outside power ups, etc. His best feature is durability.

Really?

How about being very versatile with his powerset.. TK, TP, Matter/Energy Manipulation, Teleportation, his natural Eternal powers, very intelligent, good at h2h/MA, strong blasting and striking power. You think Thanos is all Durabilty?

I think he is versatile like many others. Thor, Superman, Surfer, Martian Manhunter, Maxima etc. his greatest feats lie in prep and durability in my opinion.

I think he's saying that Thanos' undeniable asset is durability while the other things you listed tend to be wanked to varying degrees. Certainly telepathy which he almost never uses offensively and yet is often given as a possible means to beat an opponent. Darkseid has mad offensive tp feats (particularly PC DS) but it almost never gets brought up in a Darkseid vs thread because all anyone cares about is the OE.
Same with teleportation, has he ever used it in a fight? And if so to what effect?

Thanos has used TP offensively before so it is a very valid tactic. PC darkseid having telepathy feats doesnt get referenced because people tend to ignore feats performed in the PC era due to the fact that characters are no longer portrayed that powerfully.

Did you just compare Superman versatility with Thanos's? How do I get one of those face palm faces... Jesus!!

He has used TP offensively so that is the first myth that should be dispelled. Second, Teleportation he has used but never in a fight that I can recall. He really doesn't like using it via his natural eternal born powers, he prefers to use it via tech. So, no he hasn't used it in a fight but its still very well within his powerset to do so. Especially on KMC where he fights to full potential.

Excuse me? Darkside has used telepathy on a grand scale just recently. He even Gave Kalibak Psy Omega effect beams. He also just depowered all of the New Gods and created his own world. That is more than he ever did in the PC days.

Yeah but also going by KMC rules unless feats support it, a power doesn't mean much. That's the reason Dr. Manhattan, Sentry, and Superman-Prime 1Mil don't often do well in vs threads despite having implied uber abilities.

Superman has

Telepathy, Speed, Durability, vision powers, breath powers, energy powers, energy absorbtion powers, etc. Not only that, he's very versatile with each power. so yeah he's very versatile as well. I didn't say he was as versatile as Thanos. Hell Thanos isn't as versatile as Silver Surfer Thor or green lantern. Go figure.

Did i say he hasnt? Why wont people just learn how to read. I was answering Omega visions claim of why people dont usually mention Darkseids PC days TP feats.

DS hasn't been seen since his PC days Except for seven soldiers. That was made clear in Final Crisis. Seven Soldiers feats trump anything DS did in the PC days except owning the PC JLA. Also wasn't the great darkness after crisis?

No it was one or two years before the crisis, though GDS or something like it has been retold as a Post Crisis Story.

The newer one wasn't nearly as good though.
