When pissed he took on Darkseid who is well above Thanos (a Sub-Skyfather) and even defeated those avatars.
I don't want to start with Despero.That said. Thanos would win against Superman more often then not BUT once superman becomes as serious as he did in Batman/Superman (where he though Kara was killed) or OWAW he would defeat Thanos.
The prob with supes is that he does as well against über powerful enemies as he does against any other popular earth-villain.
According to that writer, yes. he also said superman's mindset had to be different. Superman didn't achieve a killer instinct in owaw so these comments don't apply here.
The probes were dealt with and were more of a surprise initially. Thanos has taken on team wreckers such as Odin and Tyrant. thanos himself is a teamwrecker. Calling a probe a teamwrecker in the same sentence with Thanos is displaying an ignorance on the level of h1.
Superman stalemated Ds and was easily laid low by Black racer. Acting as if he did something truly awesome in this arc is also truly ignorant.
What examples of darkseid do you have that puts him anywhere near Thanos' level?
DD trashed him in a panel or two. the same DD who a 95 percent raised on apokolips superman would defeat. That's according to the same writer who handled Darkseid here.
Darkseid was pissed off against Orion, Superman, and DD. He was soundly beaten by all three. Calling him a skyfather is another ignorant statement.
False. Superman had help in that fight. Citing this fight when he needed WW's,Supergirl's aid and a sun amp is another ignorant move on your part.
Thor takes on more powerful threats than Superman regularly so I don't see what all the fuss is about.
