The "Is Thanos a Skyfather?" Gauntlet

Thanos faces characters (generally) considered to be skyfathers in this gauntlet. Each match has a certain number of wins the he has to win in order to advance to the next round. He gets full rest in between each fight, and is allowed the full use of his abilities (shielding and any other standard tech he carries on his person are allowed, though he does not get prep for any matches).

How far does he get?

1. Zeus (must take 7/10)
2. Kingdom Gog (must take 6/10)
3. Monarch (must take 6/10)
4. Darkseid (must take 5/10)
5. Depowered Tyrant (must take 5/10)
6. Odin (must take 4/10)
7. Dormammu (must take 3/10)

I assume that this isnt in any particular order as I dont see him taking 7/10 against Zeus; stops at one if this is a gauntlet...

If this isnt a gauntlet, but a poll of how he does against each individual opponent, then he fails against Dormmy, Odin, and Depowered Tyrant for sure...

A non-jobbing Darkseid should defeat him as well, but the problem with this guy is that a non-jobbing DS doesnt exist anymore...thus the Omega Effect is a mere shadow of what its supposed to be; at current, I have no doubt that Thanos would successful resist the Omega Effect.

Based on that fact, Thanos would defeat Darkseid, and defeat him convincingly...

As pertains Kingdom Gog and Monarch, my gut is telling me that Thanos just might be able to "cover the spread" so to speak...

given his current status as death's avatar, I think the OE should fail on him regardless of how watered down DS has been. nevertheless, I agree with LoM's post about the results.

the idea that he should beat zeus 7/10 and only take 4/10 from odin seems skewed in my opinion. I dont think the gap between zeus and odin is that large, if there is a gap at all. thanos can probably take 2, maybe 3 out of ten from both

Beats Darkseid. As LoM said, he's not what he used to be. I think if we were to ever discover how powerful Darkseid really is, rather than his avatars, then he hopefully he'll be back to the level where he'd stomp on Thanos. Crossing my fingers for after the reboot.

He might take Gog, loses to the rest.

The Omega Effect is supposed to erase any being that is not essential to the universe...

Thanos being Deaths Avatar does not make him an essential being; the universe will continue to function properly wether Thanos is around as Deaths Avatar or not...

To my knowledge, up until Thanos, Death never even had an Avatar, so how essential can that "job" be?

If the OM functions as it was originally written, Thanos should not be able to withstand this attack...

I think there is some confusion here about Kingdom Gog's Power.

Yes, Thanos is skyfather

The return of the Thanos threads. Stops hard at one.

It's not inconceivable that Thanos can accomplish 1, 2, 4.

Don't know enough about 3 to comment.

He gets NOWHERE vs 5,6,7. Sure they can't kill him, but he's not beating them.

The only people here Thanos can possibly beat are Monarch and Darkseid. Thanos is powerful enough to breach Monarch's armor, and DS has already been discussed.

Gog could beat Thanos with speed alone. He wouldn't even need to use his staff, which could one-shot Thanos.

3 and 4 for sure.

Its odd that Zeus and Odin aren't equal in this gauntlet. Anyway, we didn't saw enough of Thanos display of power in Thanos: Imperative. What we know is that he'd utterly pwn Lord Marvell if he has wanted, who himself crushed Nova and Silver Surfer. Still, I'm not okey to gives Thanos 4/10 against either Zeus or Odin. He would gives them a run for their money for sure, but beating them? I don't think so. I think he's in the same ballpark, but he's not "Odin Powerful".

Dormammu would carve a new ******* in the middle of Thanos face.

A rematch with Tyrant should be done. In my mind, he can beat him 2/10 right now.

My opinion is that Thanos has to be considered as a skyfather, but not in the "top of the pyramid". Like a "lesser skyfather", pretty much like Sentry, Black Bolt, Wonder Woman, Kyle Rayner are "herald lvler", but not as powerful as "the cream" (Silver Surfer, Thor, Superman, Hal Jordan, Sinestro, etc.)

Order is off

He breaches Monarchs armor, he dies.

Also is this Monarch that fought Prime, or Arena Monarch.

It's Monarch after he'd absorbed the other alternate versions of Captain Atoms' powers (so the Monarch from Countdown that Prime fought).

He stops at Zeus. He might stalemate a DS Avatar. He won't win against Monarch. When he breaks his armor, he will die too, that would be technically a stalemate but he won't get the chance if Monarch doesn't fight "stupid".

Thanos is no prime... Monarch fighting smart changes very little against Thanos as compared to him doing so against prime. Thanos has many more options that this fighting smart is pretty much null and void. It just because a fight between two powerful foes.

Yes right I forgot. Energywise the Armor will hold. And Thanos isn't physically able to harm it. So Monarch wins quite easy.
