Yes KK there is an inclination as to wheather or no thanos boosts himself against the heros.The exact words from thanos when shaking mephisto after he stopped time is"all I have to do is cut myself off from time,mind,soul,reality,and space.I would still retain limitless power."Thats the quote IIRC.Meaning he boosted himself with the power gem

I know what was shown in #25. And in #26 he says:"Hope this does something! I haven't been able to tap into the energy of the Infinity Gauntlet unless he's projecting some of it. Guess his Infinity Gems aren't related to Infinity, my cosmic benefactor!"
Two things come away from this statement. The first, who is normally The Protector of the Universe's Benefactor? Eon. But in this case he says Infinity. Deduction...Infinity is still Quasar's benefactor, from two issues ago. And the second thing, he is surprised he can't tap into the Gauntlet's power and surmises it must not be related to Infinity...deduction, that he can still tap into Infinity's power.
Infinity was his benefactor in the fight against Maelstrom, she's not his benefactor forever. It was fresh on his mind so he made the benefactor statement, plus Eon was dead. The Protector of the universe is the Champion of Eon, and later Epoch. If Infinity was still Quasar's benefactor, what later issue does she appear to him, help him, advise him or lend him her power? When does it show Quasar using anything other than the Quantum Bands? If he still had access to Infinity's power, he would have had no trouble in later issues and would have directly referenced using Infinity's power.
On panel showing he returned all the power > Assumption/Deduction
He's surprised he can't tap into the Infinity Gauntlet because his normal MO is to tap into an opponent's power and start siphoning off. Thanos would have blocked that off. Quasar knows Infinity's power and he's familiar with it; he's unfamiliar with the Infinity Gems and doesn't know what they are, hence the statement "Guess his Infinity Gems aren't related to Infinity, my cosmic benefactor!"

Don't tell me that. Tell Wendall. He's the one who thinks it. And its literally one issue later. It's not a stretch at all.
Are you honestly telling me that you can't understand the distinction between having a benefactor and being an avatar?
Quasar as Infinity's avatar was an outright abstract cosmic entity.

That doesn't indicate what you guys are arguing in the slightest.
He cut off his sensory perception from the gems. There is no indication--none whatsoever--that he decreased the natural durability of his body.

Originally posted by KK the GreatNo, it's both fandom and disrespectful to Thanos but I wouldn't expect you to know this because you show up every 3 months so you aren't familiar with kmc.
His intention is indeed rather obvious. Were his intention to disgrace Thanos, it is unlikely he would chose a character as powerful as Superman. No, it is far more likely that the signature is a product of Superman fandom, designed to please Superman fans with the depiction of Superman defeating such a powerful foe.This is a rather elementary deduction.

The Inbetweener wasn't there, that's the Titan God Chronos. IB got dealt with by Order and Chaos during Thanos's Quest.edit
Whoops, bbz beat me to it...

Would you care to speculate as to why, if it wasn't for him lowering his own durability during the second fight?

Your interpretation is so inane, while at the same time being entirely unnecessary, that I'm not convinced it is worth the thirty seconds it would take to compile a list of reasons why one fight might unfold in a slightly different manner than another fight.
Originally posted by KK the GreatYou still are avoiding the fact Thanos was laughing maniacally and pay attention to this, "putting on a show" for Mistress Death. Of course he is going to be dramatic here to win over his true love back to his corner. If Thanos killed each hero with one shot what challenge would he have overcame, exactly? He lowered himself so they would have a very small chance of defeating him.
No I wouldn't, to be perfectly frank.Your interpretation is so inane, while at the same time being entirely unnecessary, that I'm not convinced it is worth the thirty seconds it would take to compile a list of reasons why one fight might unfold in a slightly different manner than another fight.
To suggest Masterson Thor can have the real Thanos on the ropes is another slap at common sense and his friend Mr. logic.

"Masterson Thor hit Thanos a few times, therefore Thanos was lowering his durability."
That is laughably skimpy reasoning even by your standards, quanchi.
By the by, he DID kill most of them with one shot.
