The issue is that Thanos suffers from the same weakness that alot of Marvel's top tiers do. Namely, NO HIGH END SPEED FEATS. You just don't want to admit DC has a colossal speed edge compared to Marvel.

😂

yeah, that's it. not sure why so many seem to think i give a rat's arse which side is faster. ya'll seem to like assigning favourites to me. it's about the simplicity of the argument and the disparity in feats, that's it. of course dc has higher speed feats and based on panel are faster. not sure which part of that you're not getting. I KNOW DC IS FASTER. my question is WHY. is it because they simply view speed differently? if not, is it fair to compare feats? it really isn't that complicated.....

Do I think Surfer has combat speed? Sure. Do I think it's on Superman's level? Not really. And he has nothing on the level of Flash. But then, nobody in Marvel is that fast to begin with. And they kind of admitted that with 'Buried Allen.' 😉

could be--that was a cool little tribute, but veiled tribute isn't really the best proof. it DOES add weight to your case i admit and it's an issue that has been raised and discussed in the past.

And since I've competed in tournies against you Leo, I know first-hand how good your bull-shitting is. 😄

hrm. just glad the judges have a different view of it. 😖hifty:

And the marvel tilt on this board has only gotten worse. ❌

not sure about that. it was always pretty heavily marvel-biased. still is. the problem is the further is APPEARS to go, the more the other side digs in. makes for circular deabtes i'm afraid, and close-mindedness. 😬

it was a nice homage but in no ways accurate to the universe it happened in

I'm not seriously advocating 'Buried Allen' as proof. dur He did seem pretty ****ed up after that race, but it was probably not Barry, given that he did come back in the DCU. durlaugh

Limited Runner? explain.

i THINK he meant 'limited' in the sense that lightspeed was the barrier amk was trying to break, when clearly runner himslef has been shown to be able to go FAR faster than c without the gem in the past.

Why the need to so desperatley reach with "they display speed differently" or bullshit like that? There are various characters in Marvel - Runner, Makkari, Gladiator, Quicksilver etc. that prove that they don't display it differently. Just on a lower level. And that there are few people showing superspeed on DC speedsters level.

It really is just that simple.

frankly, giving superman a ring just makes him superman with uber energy powers and control. IE--it makes him surfer--with combat speed feats.

😂

Bump

think myself different? there are others here who use most consistent portrayal and i've used that notion for a long time around here.

mmm
mhmm

Well Leo, you still think Superman+GL ring is just Silver Surfer with combat speed?

😂

you're really on fire this week. I feel like you're melting down in front of everyone. I just want to pull out the marshmallows and watch you burn 😂

Thanos folds him.

Provide what fts? I'll say, things Superman have trouble with, Thanos would probably curb. Zaar would probably be a minor threat to someone like Thanos.

I'll point out the flaw in your cherry-picking low showings against high showings argument.

Superman has demonstrated strength in the multiple stellar-weight range. Even if Thanos could lift something as massive as Earth (which he can't), he'd still be millions of times weaker - since a single stellar mass is about 333,000 times Earth's mass.

Superman has also shown perception speeds in the femtosecond range and has held long conversations and moved around casually within the fraction of a nanosecond. Even if Thanos had microsecond-level perception (which he doesn't), Superman would still perceive over 100,000 times faster. To put that in perspective: one second to Thanos would feel like more than a day to Superman.

So, if the beings Superman struggled with were operating on that level, they’d absolutely wreck Thanos. But if they weren't, then Superman still will - making your argument about Thanos curb-stomping Superman's opponents completely irrelevant.
