Oh okay, that I can understand. It's unfortunately been a while since I read the run -a fun and interesting run by Slott- and I'm not familiar with the details.
Is it just me or was Starlin's Champion unusually dumb? Not long ago I was reading his interaction with Earth and from what I remember of Slott's run, he was intelligent, skilled etc. Under Starlin all I remember was him being a slightly smarter Hulk.

That's what it did. Starlin had Champion taking shots from Thanos to no real effect. He had the severely inconsistant Drax one shot amped Champion that Surfer had trouble with. Making Thor able to take on Thanos, etc.The only low feats that the Power Gem really has ever had is under Drax.
At least it's supposed to be really rare...
And anyone who thinks Hulk can beat that Thor is really lacking in the brain aspect. Hell, Thor had better feats that arc without the gem than Hulk had during that whole arc.
Unfortunately I don't remember the specifics. Was Drax inconsistent? I'm just curious. I think Starlin was the only one who used him and every fight I read had him coming out looking beastly barring Blood and Thunder. Even without the Gem, he came out looking tough against Firelord and Surfer. Was he ever punked by someone significantly less powerful?
I honestly do not believe Thor needs a large amp to hold his own against the Titan and it doesn't make much sense to me based on the Thanos/Thor interactions I've read from Starlin. Course, opinions change but whatever. If Thor received an amp anywhere near as big as Titania did though, I'd expect him to put a hole through Thanos' face. But apparently she received training so I'm cool with it.
