If someone cuts Thanos' throat or rips in half, he'll die, then come back as completely whole. That's how I understood it anyway, it seems he isn't immune to injury or being put out.

It was implied he was invulnerable to a degree, like when Gamora Godslayer broke on his skin, and thenwhen he started to regain more power just before the Marvell showdown. Thanos states "i am invulnerable, these being cannot harm me"

I'd credit that more to his role as 'the avatar of Death' , then I would to a power upgrade. A lot more, in fact.

Fair enough, but you did imply the only thing Thanos had going for him was his "immortality" and anything else he had going for him was worthless.
All I implied is that there isn't much (if any) concrete proof that TI Thanos was any more powerful then, say, he was during Annihilation. Nothing more, nothing less.

Was gonna talk about how, outside of resurrection, there was circumstantial evidence he received a physical amp considering how shocked Gamora was that he no-sold Godslayer.

Yeah, he's ridiculously durable.

I can see him and classic Juggernaut slugging it out for days, and neither really hurting the other.

Yeah, the wound Thanos sustains from a weapon Marv was gifted with by the Many Angled Ones mysteriously disappears immediately after Death erases Marv/the Many Angled Ones/that entire universe from existence. Very peculiar.

none

I sure do... Mainly because that's exactly what he did. g007_teehee

Death didn't "erase" Marv, she killed him, she didn't "erase" the Many-Angled-Ones; they were actually still alive but gravely wounded, and she didn't "erase" the universe either because Thanos and the rest of the gang were still standing on it while it started to collapse 😉.

But even assuming what you said was true (it's not), why would Thanos' physical wound disappear? The weapon disappearing makes sense, but why would his wound magically disappear along with the cancer-verse? That makes no sense. Him healing the wound makes much more sense and is much more parsimonious than it magically disappearing with the cancer-verse for reasons unknown except to serve your arguments purpose.

And c'mon the fact that Hal pulled that Krona buster out of his ass without any explanation is PIS.

^ I refuse to look up the word, "parsimonious." crackers

I think some people forget how durable Thanos is, he survived inside a closed black hole.

So you believe that a character must expose a given trait about themselves to "x" amount of others before it becomes common knowledge? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. That rule (like most other forum rules) is relative to the character(s) involved. For instance, if Superman only appeared in 7-8 issues before he was killed off (as was the case with TI Thanos), but everyone he interacted with during that time was familiar with his weakness to kryptonite, then it would certainly be considered common knowledge, relative to the number of times he appeared. However, if only one or two others he interacted with knew about said weakness, then it wouldn't be common knowledge.

But lets face it: Thanos being the avatar of Death/immortal was one of TI's biggest plot-points, and common knowledge to all parties involved. Just saying.

Think about it, Thanos being from Titan and being an Eternal are common knowledge. All the powers he's exhibited throughout his many appearance have now become common knowledge. The examples even given on this site side with my stance on what common knowledge is. Now then, lets say Thanos displays the power of decreasing his size to that of a atom.. something he's never shown before.. and only showed it to 6 or 7 people in a universe that collasping... you expect this new power to be common knowledge for everybody he encounters?? Nah, that isn't how I think the rule works and not close to the examples used to describe the rule on this very forum. Shrug.

-If Death didn't erase Marv, why did he disappear?
-The MAO's were "crippled". "Aeons" will pass before they heal from Death's gesture. It's safe to say their powers were, for all intents and purposes, non-existent.
-The universe was destroyed as a direct result of Death's gesture. So yeah, it too was ultimately erased.

I'm just putting 2 and 2 together.

Marv stabs Thanos with a sword gifted to him by the MAO's. Death shows up, erases Marv, kills that universe, and "cripples" (for aeons) the beings responsible for manifesting the sword in the first place... Then Thanos pops up immediately afterward, and his gaping wound has completely vanished. You really think that can be attributed to coincidence, or some type of uber healing factor on Thanos' end? Whatevs.

As for the boldened word...
par·si·mo·ni·ous: characterized by or showing parsimony.
par·si·mo·ny: extreme or excessive economy or frugality; stinginess; niggardliness.

...Even though the last word of the definition made me lol, I'm still not rly sure what you meant..?

I disagree for reasons I've already mentioned. KMC character rules are dynamic, and intended to change (if need be) to properly fit the characters involved. Doesn't really matter either way, though.

That argument was pretty.

I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure being crippled but alive =/= being erased from existence, because you know...you kind of have to exist to be alive in the first place?

Well maybe the fact that Thanos was able to regerenate all of his flesh after being turned into a skeleton has something to do with him healing from being stabbed in the heart? But I guess you have really high standards for what's considered "healing"...because being unkillable and having a healing factor is mutually exclusive when it suits your arguments.

You haven't explained to me why or how Thanos' wound disappearing has anything to do with the cancerverse gradually collapsing? Especially when its more likely he healed it himself seeing as he regenerated from being a skeleton just prior?

All your argument amounts to is: Thanos' wound were healed at kind of the same time as the cancer-verse collapsing, therefore they must be linked! Just because two events happen to occur at similar times doesn't mean they're related, or one causes the other. Explain to me why or how they're related at all and why it isn't just coincidental.

Nah dude, "parsimonious" is just some band I met on Facebook. They're totally rad and not mainstream like the other bands.

I wouldn't be suprsied if it's your band and your doing viral advertising/marketing here.

Damn you figured me out! 😠

But seriously for people who don't know what I was referring to when I used the word "parsimonious" look up principle of parsimony or Occam's razor. Serves me right for using positivistic philosophical terms on a comic book forum 🙁

Being crippled, taking aeons to heal, and having their universe destroyed, equates to them having very little (if any) power remaining. That's the important part.

Thanos regenerated from nothingness. There wasn't even a skeleton. Why did he regenerate? Because Drax destroyed him entirely with an anti-matter bomb, and his immortality resurrected him. Considering that has absolutely nothing to do with what I've been talking about, I'm not really sure why you keep bringing it up..?

Thanos is immortal. Obviously he's going to regen if a life threatening circumstance comes his way. What I'm talking about is a healing factor in the non-immortal sense. ie. Hulk punches Thanos in the face and breaks his nose. Does the nose heal instantly? Highly doubtful, as it's not a life threatening emergency that requires Thanos' 'immortal-factor' to kick in. Point being: Thanos can still sustain lasting damage--he just can't be killed.

Again, it's simple to connect the dots.

Fact: The MAOs use their power to manifest a sword for Marv capable of puncturing Thanos' hide.
Fact: Death shows up and gesturely erases Marv, gesturely wipes out that universe, and gesturely renders the MAOs crippled and powerless.
Fact: Thanos immediately pops up afterward and his gaping wound is completely healed. Hell, there wasn't even a hole in his suit from where the sword had previously cut through, nor was there any visible blood on his face/clothing as there had been moments earlier. Is Thanos' "HF" so uber that it mends and cleans his clothing as well?

So you said the MAO were erased from existence in your earlier post, what you're saying now sounds nothing like what you posted earlier. You should at least try to be consistent with your stances.

Thanos regenerated from nothingness. There wasn't even a skeleton. Why did he regenerate? Because Drax destroyed him entirely with an anti-matter bomb, and his immortality resurrected him. Considering that has absolutely nothing to do with what I've been talking about, I'm not really sure why you keep bringing it up..?

What are you talking about? Thanos was not reduced to "nothingness", he was reduced to a charred skeleton. Go check TI#4 and re-read it before you make false assumptions. You clearly see the group staring at the charred skeleton talking about what just happened.

You don't see the connection that if Thanos can regenerate from a charred skeleton to a fully fleshed being, that he can't regenerate from being stabbed from the chest? I think the connection is clear.


Thanos is immortal. Obviously he's going to regen if a life threatening circumstance comes his way. What I'm talking about is a healing factor in the non-immortal sense. ie.

Point being: Thanos can still sustain lasting damage--he just can't be killed.

So he only has a healing factor if he's supposedly near death? So his healing factor for some reason, according to you, is selective? Even if this is true (despite no evidence) what constitutes to "near-death" for Thanos? Being stabbed in the chest how many times? What about burning, how long does he have to burn before his healing factor starts? Him accumulating certain amount of wounds that won't heal because they're not "near-death" but then once it hits a magical number it becomes "near-death" and his healing factor kicks in?

So now you're establishing imaginary rules for his healing factor after you outright dismissed it even existing in the first place? Not only are you not consistent with your arguments, your theory for his "selective healing factor" requires how many unfounded assumptions? Too many for my taste. I'd rather just assume he gradually heals from his wounds decently fast in general.

Again you ignored what I asked for. I ask you why his wound would disappear if the cancerverse is collapsing? Again all you've said so far is: they occurred at similar times therefore the cancerverse collapsing caused the wound to disappear. Okay, but why? Any reasons? You've provided none.

Also what gaping hole? Did you actually see the sword? It was really small compared to Thanos and looked like a short-sword, not a giant telephone pole. The reason why you don't see a "gaping hole" because that's not the type of wounds swords produce 😆

Again, it's much more likely that Thanos healed the stab wound because he has regenerated his flesh just prior to fighting Marv. Why wouldn't be be able to regenerate the stab wound to the chest?

Are you sure your common sense is tingling? Or is it having a chronic seizures? 😛

Exactly.

Guy threw Appa Ali apsa for a loop with an attack, and he was way more powerful than your average guardian, as he was tapping into the bulk of the power while the Guardians had much smaller stores, having abandoned Oa and when they left him in charge.

Kyle, he bottled up a super nova.. GL's powers only being limited by their will is as canon as Hulks strength being limited only by his rage.
