Beta Ray Bill is no slouch either. He fought Stardust quite well, and right after that, got clapped between Galactus's 2 hands (Galactus had just fed) and then fell into the center of a star, and survived. And earlier he had resisted 2 black holes.
And as I said, Thor has actually defeated more powerful foes than Thanos one on one, but then again, he's lost to weaker ones.

Thor vs Thanos clone, from Thor vol. 2 #22:
(Now keep in mind this was originally written as THANOS, until Starlin retconned it as a clone....still these fights are epic):

Thor (with belt, shield, and gauntlets) vs Thanos clone (who is massively amped. He's actually more powerful than Thanos is normally, as he is blowing away billions of people and has achieved oneness with death...Thanos's ultimate dream), from Thor vol. 2 #25:

All of this is irrelevant -- everything that has been retconned was, by defintion, originally written as the "real thing". The fact of the matter is that, looking at feats, Thanos utterly outclasses these two (obviously, Quan will say something like this too, but he doesn't carry much weight at this point on account of being the boy who cried Thanos) -- Thanos has, over and over again, repeatedly taken hits from people who can one-shot high heralds (recall what DP Tyrant did to BRB) and kept on fighting. The hammers can absorb energy blasts, but Thanos' forcefields can stop any hammer throws and his force-cubes can slow them down enough to make them easy targets for his amped blows -- the hammerbrothers cannot take the damage that Thanos can dish out, and he can very easily take anything they can throw at him.

The team has what it takes to win, but it'd require them to fight OOC.
Yes; if they were able to maintain their distance from Thanos well enough to really hit him w/ a godblast to soften him up, and THEN engage in a melee assault I could see them winning, but that kind of strategic fighting is beyond them, and besides, there's a good chance that it still wouldn't work.
Originally posted by Silent MasterShow me Thor ever doing this to Thanos. This isn't powerset vs. powerset. this isn't cbr it's what's in character, sport.
They can also absorb energy which could allow them absorb his blasts and/or drain his shields, or use an EMP to disable his shields and other tech, or trap him in a shield of their own etc etc etc.
Thor has made shields that an enraged Hulk couldn't beat through. He's made shields that absorbed a blast that would have destroyed 1/5 of the universe. They've been described as INDESTRUCTABLE. He's absorbed a galaxy-busting attack and re-directed it to re-ignite a star. He's absorbed the energy from the Presence. He JUST absorbed GLORY's attack and re-directed it at him (the power of 10,000 gods). That attack ripped a hole in reality. He's teleported skyfathers against their will. While I'm not saying Thor > Thanos, its not out of the realm of possibility that Thor can beat him, especially with help from BRB.

True, but I'm not even saying they win, I'm just pointing out that they have an extremely versatile powerset, one that if used creatively enough could allow them to defeat Thanos.
Some people just ignored the part of my post where I stated they'd have to fight "OOC".

i am willing to agree with the new guy who is probably not so new..i give the team a good chance of getting wins and even possible to split or get slight majority
