The cops would arrest Thanos.
Magneto would be dangerous, but they might have a chance via a sneak attack by laser, or kill him with a high intensity gamma radiation source, or high intensity X-ray dosage - since in the real world his magnetic shields wouldn't actually protect him from such things. Or maybe if they ever perfect those X-ray and gamma ray lasers they would have a really good weapon against him.

Joker would never be put in an asylum. The insanity plea rarely works in a real court, and Joker wouldn't meet the requirements of that plea (otherwise, some of our own worst serial killers would've done it already). He'd be locked up in a supermax, and executed. That is, if he wasn't shot on the scene. Realistically, Joker would've been long dead either way.
Originally posted by BlackZero30xWhat unit would that be? No government outside of comics could handle them. They wouldnt find or believe in the existence of most of them to begin with. Only nukes (which they wouldn't use) could take the high metas and would fail against the heralds, even the low ones.
I guarantee that not only would the government have a "tactical" unit to eliminate these threats but the successful missions would also Intel bringing the body back to be studied to make "super soldiers"

Magneto can't conquer the world, lol. He has to eat, sleep, and breathe just like everyone else.
You mean he couldn't govern it? Not only could he gather followers and armies arround him to protect his ass while he sleeps, if he chose to make himself public, he could impose laws and policies and enforce them through remote control just by appearing to deliver retalliation in case he is disobbeyed and then going back into hiding. No one would find him. Ever.
More to the point, he could wipe out all potential opposition on the planet in a day's work. Who would stop him?

exactly which is why i said "the successful missions" lol
as for what government......well all governments because bad guys with that much power out their would not show restraint in the usage of power. so everyone would know that they did indeed exist.
as for heralds other then the big g I really don't see anyone that powerful wanting to come to earth.
Originally posted by basiliskWell his powers wouldnt be possible in the real world either so im assuming he would use them as in the comcis for this thread. That being the case EM weapons would not the way to go against him. Gas could take him down if he inhales it, but with the force fields, he wouldn't.

None would be successfull. It would take forever for governments to acknowledge that superhumans exist, even if they decided to announce their existence to the world and insisted on proving it - they'd all initially atribute attacks to things they're aware of, such as criminal networks and political extremists. No one would believe in super-villains.
Assuming governments did create counter-metahuman squads, there is simply no real world tech to handle most high metas and above in combat. Most could just as easilly evade being tracked and found.
G is abstract level. Characters like magneto, superman and silver surfer are herald level. Even the low heralds would be unstoppable.

and im pretty sure like mentioned by others earlier that people on the scale of doc ock, the joker so on and so forth...at the very least be sniped. now back to your high end metas yea i get that and i wasn't arguing that humanity would even stand a chance against them and superman or surfer lvl beings are surely not getting taken out.
now back to the g-man...i wasn't meaning him to be a herald lvl i was speaking more towards heralds in general but Gman was referenced as being one of the most threatening high end being because he would want to eat our planet and unless your a mod with the power to ban nothings going to stop him lol
next back to the "not knowing they exist" that might be something an evil genius would think of but im not buying the thought that people with that much power is gonna be "hush hush" about the whole thing because most of them would be like in the comics.....proud and arrogant or just feel invincible enough to think nothing could stop them.
Once you reach characters on the level of Magneto, Superman, Surfer, Thor etc. the real world is f*cked without a doubt. They'd conquer the planet in moments.
Magneto operates on a global scale in terms of power and I doubt the real world has any weapons that would even scratch his field. Magneto would laugh at Nukes.
