Originally posted by KK the GreatVery easily.. by being Quasar's superior in pretty much every way, including the way Quasar would pull of said feat. Would you call said trick a form of matter manipulation?
If Quasar has the ability to form an explosion from within his opponent's own body, how do you propose Thanos would so simply "disallow" that?

You're joking right? If you have two people that are matter manipulator or use TP, TK or whatever ability.. what do you think makes the different in the fight on those planes.. Whoever is superior in said area will win that fight. What was unclear about what I said then?

None of that explains how being better at something means the other side won't be able to use a specific attack.

I don't know how this isn't clear Silent. Lets say someone has TP and tries to mind rape someone who also has TP… Just because you can use TP doesn't mean it will be effective on everyone the same. Some might be your superior and will resist your TP and actually proceed to mind rape you. Others will be your inferior and you will be able to get the better of them. This is how battles take place with matter manipulation, TP, TK etc etc. So.. I don't get how you don't understand how being someone superior in a specific area wouldn't allow you to get the better of them.

It was a post comparing IG with Cosmic Collision, so yeah it have everything to do with that post.

I think you don't build a story around Darksei dand then have him outstaged by some cosmic vampire at the end of the arc. That's hilarious that in darkseid's main event he wasn't even the most serious threat. In Thanos stories where he is the antagonist he's the one they all gather up against to beat and he isn't upstaged by some ridiculous vampire.
What does IG and Thanos have to do with Darkseid? Kind of besides the point, isn't it? IG was a terrible story, right up there with the most derivative sci-fi & fanatasy stories around. And there's nothing cool about watching a supposedly all powerful villain toying with his enemies, there's almost no motivation there for the villain to entertain conflict outside of pure whim.
If this was Jade Empire Thanos in IG would be described as a person who wasted his strength on display, that there was no purpose to his toying with his enemies.
And DS wasn't upstaged by Mandrakk seeing that Mandrakk is only mentioned and appearing in 3 issues of the entire event.

He wasn't talking about Quasar using a mental attack, why don't you explain how Thanos would stop the actual attack in question.

What form of attack would you describe it as? It would be a from of matter manipulation correct. Already addressed along with other planes of attack.
Originally posted by KK the GreatI get what you are saying here bu tI honestly feel Thanos was out screwing around as he could afford to let his enemies live due to his power level. He even mentioned it so he toyed with them.
That doesn't stand to reason at all.If I eat a grenade, whether I'm in a serious mood would have nothing to do with my body's ability to withstand the explosion.

i . . . can't believe this is still going. a 100megaton blast is a (very) large city destroying blast. it will wipe out everything within about 60km and do serious damage out to about 100km.
thanos has withstood planet-destroying power without batting an eye. in fact, he was at ground zero when he and drax--before any power-ups--destroyed the planet on which they fought.
ss could EFFORTLESSLY replicate 100megaton blasts. he could do worse--he could open blackholes behind each of thanos's eyes. the maker's sneeze would be>>>>>100megatons. yet in this one instance where thanos was clearly enjoying himself, quasar does something that has never been replicated by anyone, including beings vastly more powerful than quasar himself, yet we are supposed to believe the circumstances didn't have anything to do with what happened? i'm not even calling PIS, because i think it was clear the author and thanos himself weren't serious as regards the feat.
thanos wins this 100/10 in straight 1on1 battle. honestly.
I disagree. Energy is different. Quasar's energy could be Thanos weakness just the same as why Thanos is weak to Drax. Most beings who fight Thanos use cosmic power (from the main universe). Thanos absorbs and can manipulate cosmic energy. Quasar's energy is different.
Superman can survive a 100 megaton blast too. But let it be a magical or kryptonite one then we have a different story.
