I think with the HOTU it bears thinking that the ONLY way Thanos would be able to attain true Omnipotence is if the Omnipotent/Omniscient/Omnipresent (TOAA) allowed it to happen. Remember the HOTU is said to be TOAA's power made manifest and TOAA used this as a means to manipulate Thanos into removing himself. Its like a handgun you own that's locked in a safe that you unlock knowing that guy who ****s everything up is going to find it and use it to kill himself. Or maybe that's a terrible analogy. 😕

Bullshit. If the TOAA wanted Rhino could have gotten the HOTU if there was a purpose to it. The act of subjugating omnipotent power would be an impossible feat for any being who's not already omnipotent so the logical assumption is that Thanos got it because TOAA let him.

scans saying this bullshit you're spouting. What you are saying goes against on panel proof. Are you denying that it was SPECIFICALLY stated that Thanos was choosen because of his will and that he could handle the naked power of the heart? Plus IIRC it was also stated he had experience with omnipotence before and thus could hangle it (IG)Was it not specifically stated he was choosen because of his will... while all you're spouting is conjecture?
Power Girl, and to a much smaller extent Supergirl, distract Thanos while WW slips the lasso around him. 😄
Seriously though, Thanos gets the majority, but WW has the tools to give the team one or two.
Between her super speed, aegis bracelets, telepathic immunity, and her lasso, she's one of the few characters who could even solo Thanos, and possibly win.

WW isn't immune to TP, just quite resistant. But Thanos has mindraped even very powerful telepaths so he may have something there.
But I've always thought that the utterly ridiculous superspeed feats of many DC characters (Supes, CM, BA, MM, SG, PG, WW, Flashes, etc) could give Thanos problems even fighting them. I mean those guys have run around the earth in less time than the blink of Thanos' eye.

Supergirl along with Power girl and Superman were giving Super Boy Prime a nice good long fight. Exchanging out Superman for the weaker, but more skilled and better equipped Wonder Woman, and Superboy Prime for the Weaker but more Versatile Thanos, has me to believe this would yield the same kind of Results. A long protracted Battle with Thanos pulling a slight majority based upon Supergirl doing something stupid, or getting turned into Kryptonite and thus weakening PG. The girls will pull 4 out of 10 victories because they are all far faster and more mobile than Thanos and he would have 3 super zip zapping targets all with Mid or High level Strength and Durability. And They have Wonder Woman's Lasso, Magic lightning attacks, shields, and tiara.
Originally posted by lightyeargeeThe thing is that force fields and omnidirectional blasts that blanket the whole field pretty much cover their speed edge. He's also got forceblock, telepathy and other crap. They can get a blitz in before he reacts, but he is rather tough to put down.

I can't see them beating him down. Although WW's shield can probably cover anything Thanos can dish out, since it deflected the power of an entire pantheon once, among other showings...
It comes down to the lasso, and whether they're able to get it on the Titan before he eventually beats them down.
Originally posted by 753I never said that he wasn't or discounted all that you mentioned. He rarely uses omnidirectional blasts or force blocks or telepathy. Telepathy would require some kind of concentration as they all have good TP resistance. I doubt his blast are any stronger than Superboy Prime's fist or Heat Vision and even he couldn't one shot any of these three. Thanos would win a slim majority if he catches one of the slipping, which I think woudl be Supergirl. She's not as good a fighter as the other two. Nor is she as tuff or strong. She's slightly behind them. But I have no doubt, that any of them can hurt Thanos since they all have hurt being stronger and tougher than he. Plus Wonder Woman's weapons and magical blast have put down tougher guys than Thanos.

Thanos ain't getting out of the lasso.Getting it on him is the trick, but for the sake of argument if he simply allowed WW to put it on him, he wouldn't be able to get it off.
Actually it wouldn't surprise me at all if Thanos was immune to the lasso, because that's just the kind of character he is - he has stood up to Skyfather level attacks for at least a while, he has been shown to survive reality warping due to his unusual nature, been resistant to top telepaths and magical attacks, and at times has appeared to be outside the universal rules of chaos and order. And people have resisted the lasso in the past so it wouldn't be a first even without all that. Some of what Thanos does is just Starlin being Starlin and PIS, but if he was writing it nothing would surprise me.
But I still think that the characters' speed and power levels makes it hard for Thanos to take the win even if he is not losing.
