Mantis.

Thanos wins.

Ah. Forgot about him. thank you Mungi. 👆 But that doesn't help Thanos, considering Mantis would stomp him too.

Iceman: If so many shitty writers hadn't lowballed him, this wouldn't be necessary. Besides, as Nvr and I both said, they spelled this out a LOT in New God stories.

Pre-Crisis Mantis might give Thanos a bit of trouble but otherwise Thanos wins

...............I don't see Thanos beating him. Mantis drains energy like a leech. He's got the capacity to absorb all of Thanos's energy and throw it right back at him.

Galan: Indeed, he did tool Mantis. But he lost the first battle.

I see IM beginning to physically wreck Mantis. I see Mantis use a sneak attack in which he was able to momentarily contain IM. Then I see IM break free of Mantis' prison, and blast him a single time ftw. /shrug

Heck, IM wasn't even fazed by Mantis' "star system-shattering" anti-matter touch.

Mantis eats energy like a crackhead eats crack.

He's jacked Dr. Fate's powers no problem.

Is there an energy manipulator in comics that doesn't have a limitless supply of energy to draw upon?

Yeah, Firestorm also has a limitless supply of energy to draw from... Doesn't mean he's unbeatable. Quite the contrary, in fact.

^ So you don't think it's possible that Thanos can be drained -faster- than he can pull energy from his 'infinite' supply?

^ Same can be said about Mantis.

Also keep in mind that the Infini-Beam doesn't just force the entirety of one's energies to disperse, nigh-instantly -- it also renders said individual unable to control their energies.
