Funny you say this....Thanos grabbing Hulk and Thing who are strong right? Grabbing them and overpower them and saying "you think your strong, I'm strength PERSONIFIED" what does that tell us? He's superior to them and by a lot. You can't rely on we don't know how strong Hulk was because he was pissed and NO feat of Hulk says exactly how strong he is.
I was referring the incident where Superman wasn't able to fight back, he was nearly gone. DS let up and wanted to talk, but could have finished off Superman if he wanted. SS don't even compare to Superman as far as strength and durability. I've seen some real shitty low showings of SS that it will be impossible to show Superman with those same showings.
Practically killing Surfer and KOing him in like 6 punches is better than 3 punches which almost KO'd supes and made him woozy. Surfer was on the verge of death. Supes was dezed and kept fighting back. This is SS who has very good durability.
Backhanding someone doesn't mean anything to me as far as strength is concerned (maybe Thing though). Thanos may be more powerful than those beings but not necessarily stronger.
Him backhanding powerhouses like Drax, Hulk, Thing, Thor etc further prove the point. He didn't even need to punch them to dismiss them. He casually backhands them like a father to a child. That is how they compare.
Superman has done the same, but indirectly. His fight with Zod indirectly caused the destruction of the planet (they were only hitting each other while in air and not the planet).He wrestling with Drax blows up a planet. They lock arms and engage in a struggle. That struggle causes the planet they were on to go by by. That is greater than overpowering superman grip or breaking his arm. The force needed in a wrestling match to cause that damage is astronomical is it not?
As far as the Thanos Drax feat:
Two beings using their strength to destroy a planet proves that each being is capable of at least destroying half a planet with their strength. And destroying half a planet with strength proves that each being is capable of exerting at least 1 trillionth of the weight of the planet. Superman can exert more than 50 times that of the weight of the Earth.
I would like to see this Thanos stalemating the grip of DP Tyrant. But DD overpowered Superman when they locked up, not stalemated him. [quote][b]Him locking arms with DP Tyrant and stalemating him is more impressive than DD stalemating supermans grip.
