The weakest character who can KILL current Thanos...

@Nihilist

There's no point arguing this , he has forced her to do his bidding before. Admitted by Death itself. If this was just a run of the mill thing, she wouldn't have felt so slighted by it. The fact that she was humiliated and stated it should tell you it wasn't a "normal" occurrence. He forced her to do something against her will.

Plus back on topic, there's more than one way to "kill" something if you are creative enough. The Cocati, or whatever the correct spelling of the name of those plant like things that were in the Silver Surfer issues that were chasing after Manits, killed an Elder of the Universe. When he told them that he couldn't die, they responded back, "Death isn't part of your destruction".

I'm also guessing anyone that can "nullify" or erase a person from existence can do it too.

Kill him... blink could do it. Teleport a building inside of his chest.

Keeping him permanently dead... can't think of anyone that could do it.

As I stated earlier in this thread, Galactus using the Ultimate Nullifier and an Cosmic Cube with a will more powerful than its own commanding it could do it...

If the IB's powers work as Nihilist believes, the IB would be incapable of doing it, but if zop is right, then add the IB to the list of beings who could permanently kill Thanos as he currently is...

At anyrate, I think we'd all agree that, barring some special circumstance, it would take someone or something extremely powerful to permanently kill Thanos at this point...

Good point; I dont think its beyond reason that a Skyfather or higher being could think up a creative way to "kill" Thanos...especially if the Cocati could come up with a way to kill an Elder.

Who can kill him?Any skyfather.

Who can make him stay dead? Inbetweener because he can make death accept him or anyone stronger then death.

Logically to kill for good you would have to be powerful enough to contridict the word of death.

Pretty much you either need to be able to beat death to kill him for good or have some sort of loophole like IB has.

*Sigh* if you read the actual story in which it took place(Silver Surfer series) it explain she had to do it because he summoned her and because of the natural order of chaos,order,life and death she was forced to perform the task. So all in all she was forced to do it because her role in the universe, not because his power is greater than hers, and as stated on panel Chaos and Order(Inbetweeners masters and source of his power) have no power over Thanos.

I should have been clearer in the OP; permanent death is what this thread is talking about as pertains Thanos...

Or rather, who is the weakest character that can (either directly or indirectly) permanently kill Thanos?

At this point, I'd say Galactus for certain and a maybe to the IB as there is some question as to wether his powerset would allow him to force Death to take Thanos or not...

And there is a possibility that a creative workaround could be found and executed by beings lesser than those two if those things that zop mentioned were able to pull it off...

How exactly would Galactus do it?I can see how IB can find a loophole.

I really dont see a difference; if he is sent to oblivion he is done and gone just like if he was killed in a traditional manner...

wouldn't that still count as a win?

But hes not dead. Quasar was sent to oblivion and he wasn't "dead".

If you are shot with the UN why wont you be dead?

Your body would be completely and utterly destroyed...and whatever is leftover is sent to oblivion...how is that not dead?

Disagree, He was only able to command Death because she had to follow the laws of the universe about life and death as she is a agent of order

It never states anything about it being a law of the universe, and the dialogue certainly points more to it being a power of IB himself than that of his masters. In fact, a couple panels later, IB says that Chaos and Order are completely alien to Death, and don't have influence on one another.

That is never stated at all in the comic where it happened (SS # 17). All IB says is "She has no choice when I summon her! Am I not the balance point between all extremes? Am I not Death myself, as as well as life?"

I just double checked that...you are 100% correct.

So yeah...the IB should be able to force Death to take Thanos then.
