The Stranger vs Thanos...

Now I fully realize that some will look at the title and say "you are creating a Spite thread against Thanos," but hold on...

What has the Stranger actually done (feat wise) to suggest that he'd "spite" Thanos? Where would the Stranger even tier?

During the Infinity Gauntlet arc, the writer placed the Stranger among the "Astral Deities of the Universe," but going by past feats (and most importantly, defeats), can anyone reasonably suggest that he is anywhere near anyone else on panel (Infinity Gauntlet #2 or 3 I believe) during that cosmic meeting?

Anyway, what do you all think?

Who wins?

Some people hype him.

But for all his hype he did overpower a watcher(with help from Quasar but he himself admitted Stranger did most of the work).

He does still stomp thanos.

Stranger has poor showings to say Thanos could take him and he has enough good showings to say he takes Thanos.

Just out of curiosity what are these showings that say Thanos could beat stranger?

Why dont you tell me now what feats Stranger has that make him stomp Thanos.

Getting ko'ed by Juggernaut and struggling with a bunch a meta lvl guys and b class heroes in Beyond are just a few things.

And like getting knocked back by juggernaut is a low feat. Thanos would get knocked down by him too 😬.

As I recall juggernaut knocked him down. Then a comment was made that he'd be up in about 2 seconds.

Really, when far more powerfull people havent knocked him down with the first hit.

A charging juggernaut is more powerful then most other people charging 😬. Infinite momentum much?

Still waiting on the feats for Stranger that make it a stomp.

No, not when he hasnt done that straight away to the likes of even Savage Hulk with charging punch.

Overpowering a rouge watcher. Treating Surfer like a pest.

[B]Oh you mean the hulk with celestial tech? That hulk? 😬

So you have a half a feat to back up your stomp.

No Savage Hulk

He needed Qusars help(regardless of who did the most work, he still needed help) so its a shared feat 😂 and Thanos doesnt.

No he didn't. Quasar pretty much called himself a flea compared to the stranger and watchers. The only reason he mattered it because that let them dogpile him.

Thanos beats him with ease. He doesn't act like surfer is a nonissue at all and poses no threat to him which is what surfer was to the stranger.

I seriously think Thanos stomps Stranger's face to paste.

This dude killed Surfer by punching him 7 times. Surfer was holding his own vs Stranger.

Stranger was having problems with the freaking X-men, Thanos would have stomped that crummy X-men lineup. It was hilarious too! Bobby froze energy beams coming from the Stranger's eyes and he was trying to break his eyes free of the ice. Ghetto.

The Stranger is currently appearing in Astonishing Thor...

Did Thor smash Stranger's face in using Mjolnir yet?

impressive to so easily dismiss thor. he does have some inconsistent showings though. i'd still go with thanos in this. stranger is all over the place. maybe this thor arc will solidify him as a true cosmic power? til then my money would be on thanos.

Yea, this is probably his most impressive showing. He even knocked Thor out for a few moments with that blast by the way. I do think he caught Thor off guard if that matters any. According to this arc, he created Ego and Alter Ego etc. I wonder if he used tech or raw power because I would have wagered that Ego would beat down the Stranger.
