Nah, I don't think it was a knock out either. He was only gone for like 2 or 3 pages. I think it's more likely he was stunned as a result.

It looked more like he was inconviently BFR'd by the planet shattering blast and just casually teleported back to go on about his business as if nothing happened.
Battle field removed? If that was the case, I think he would have teleported back immediately seeing as how he was getting ticked off and the stone of illumination was an urgent priority. I didn't get a "battle field removal vibe" from the scene. The Recorder's -inaccurate- comment that not even Thanos could survive an attack of such ferocity doesn't really help that.

Seemed pretty immediate to me, considering that very little happened between the 2 pages the Thanosi was off-panel. All that happened was Mangog popped out of no where and put Thor in his mouth (as wrong as that sounds).

IIRC, after Thanos was sent flying, Thor picked up the stone, and we get like about half a page of dialogue before Mangog attacks. If Thanos was not stunned, I'd have wagered on him coming back before Mangog even attacked.
Are you solely basing it off him being off-panel (where anything could of happened) for a very short time? Or is there any other evidence?
😕 What else could have happened? They were on a rock that was inhabited by slugs and Thanos' goal was to get the stone of illumination as soon as possible.
I'm having trouble imagining Thanos just chilling seeing as how urgent he was about the matter. It makes much more sense that Thanos was rocked/stunned noticeably enough for that amount of time to have passed. Especially seeing as how he had teleportation capabilities.
And yes, I'm basing it off only him being blasted.

Well he could of landed, got up, dusted himself off, realize he doesn't have the stone and teleported back? You imply that he was off-panel for a long time, when thats not the case at all.

Okay, and? How does that have any relevancy to my point? He mentioned Thor receiving an amp to combat the clone and seemed to have forgotten that the clone was powered up as well.
you're right about that--i did forget. i do wonder at the amp though. tbh, i still see that clone below the real deal thanos. why? even amped as he was, no way i'd say that amped thor>=odin. yet that thor beat down that clone. odin himself couldn't fully polish off thanos. we could get into semantics and discuss--again--the level of effort odin put into the fight, but, based on the thanosi showing vs thor, and thanos' own showing vs odin, i'd still say the overall power-edge goes to thanos.
not that it is of particular relevance. 😄

it does seem that way at times, doesn't it? that's why i didn't want to debate the thread. minds are made up. problem is, some of the people in the thread actually make me DISLIKE superman. superman is AWESOME. i had a superman encyclopedia in KINDERGARTEN! he does not NEED wanking. that's the irony. the supposed superman 'fans' are actually having the opposite effect on their guy.a blitzing, PO'D ss was ko'd in 3 punches. a PG thor who one-shotted a group of uber heroes couldn't do more than stalemate thanos. in another arc thor had to call on asgard for an uber amp to battle and defeat a thanos CLONE. tyrant and odin crush groups of heralds yet thanos stays and battles in prolonged contests with each. thanos has NEVER, EVER, been defeated by a herald leveller--not once, not even by thor or ss. at his inception he was withstanding planetary destruction.
i hear a lot of--superman has taken greater. superman hits harder. superman has seen better tp. yadda-yadda. yeah? here's something revelatory--so has THOR. so has SS. and yet? it is NOT jobbing--such a stupid term--it is marvel constantly and CONSISTENTLY depicting thanos as being well above such heroes. it really isn't that hard. so supes has taken greater? great. should i show some of the times he has been unable to take LESS?? course not--those would all be PIS, or 'superman holding back'. ridiculous. thanos HAS no such moment. herald levellers don't beat him. that's it. if someone wants to argue clark to trans, be my guest--several in this thread are doing just that anyway.
the whole argument for clark here is--he's different. thor can't beat thanos. ss can't beat thanos. no single hero in marvel can beat him yet...... superman can. because he has feats to show it!!!1@1 (like thor and ss) and because he's somehow different. i agree--he IS different. but i still can't give him the win over someone who is CONSISTENTLY--not just 'at times'--is depicted as being WELL above even the highest herald
this thread is pointless and i happily leave it to others to 'debate'.
except that the way it is on the this forum, it's harder for Superman to get the benefit of the doubt on this forum than it is for Thor or Surfer. His feats get more scrutiny, the character is more hated, and he has less people defending him in most cases too. In cross company matches, he's worse off than almost any top tier.
I don't know if Superman can beat Thanos; I honestly don't read enough of Thanos to be able to judge. But the way the people go on in this thread is the exact same way the haters go on about Superman in other threads. A reaction was always going to happen.
You can complain about how people talk about Superman being able to beat Thanos, but we've both been here long enough to know that it used to be a lot better than this; the haters have just brought it on themselves with their incessant lowballing just because they can't get over the fact that Superman in most cases beats the living shit out of their favourite character.
And no, I don't mean Thanos.
f*ck, the only reason i tend to debate for superman is because i don't need to defend people like hulk and surfer; they already have an army of overhyping fanboys backing them. sure, both characters (and a few others) have decent, reasonable fans, but there's always more idiots.

my avatar? yes, superman is my second favourite comics character. i don't deny that. and no, no shame. 😛
the fact is, if he got as much leeway/respect as all the other top heralds, you wouldn't see me in debates. i like tons of characters (mostly marvel funnily enough) and i rarely if ever have to defend them. why? because they don't get the kind of hate Superman does. they don't need defending.
