Council of Reeds vs Thanos

Prep war, both have 1yrs prep-time. No HOTI or other ULTIMATE device. IGs can only work on the scale demonstrated against the mad Celestials, no Galactus IG.

Scenario, The CoR have wiped all versions of Doom in the omni-verse, they have taken out Franklin, the mad Celestials and even 616 Reed and Valeria. Their appetite for 'correcting' the omniverse is only growing, they see it as their duty to make EVERYTHING right, and as such they have targeted "The Mad Titan" as their next task.

Thanos has been watching the curious omniversal disappearances of Dooms and has slowly pieced together the existence of an omniversal body. In doing so, he has sought to gather to himself some items of power and to ready himself for whatever chaotic threat is on the horizon. He learns of The Council Of Reeds once they wipe out 616 Reed and his family. He realises that they will inevitably be targeting him as he is a known universal annoyance and so now he is preparing for them as best he can.

One year of silence on both sides, passes... The Reeds decide to take the offensive, attacking from their hidden dimensional hideout.

What happens next? who wins and why?

A year is too much, anything can happen, both sides can get their hands on crazy weapons and so on.

This being said, one Reed is already smarter, and in a certain way more dangerous, than Thanos. So a council of Reeds - who are much more ruthless than 616 Reed - should take this.

too many plot device weapons are a potential here. I lean heavily towards the council of reeds but like I said hard to tell when it's all going to come down to a single plot device weapon. I just think the council has a higher probability of coming up with multiple effective weapons and countermeasures to anything Thanos comes up with. A single reed is generally more intelligent, at least in terms of creativity...

If I had to say council stands a better chance.

I think that Thanos is more intelligent, and way more cunning that Reed Richards, but the CoR got too much ressources to not win this.

Seriously, how much IG and CC do they got!? It's insanity.

Thanos would outprep Reed in 1-vs-1, but not the entire Concil.
The Concil 10/10

This is spite against Thanos...

Thanos can only win this if he has the HotU. Without it, Thanos is defeated with ease by the council 10/10...

Since when ?

With a year prep Thanos just creates a shit load of clones or just another cannon that destroyed a solar system ftw.

Each one is at least as dangerous as Thanos.

Thanos has entire star fleets at his command and thats with out any prep.

COR, way too much brain power for Thanos to overcome.

All things being equal, I don't see Thanos being massively more intelligent than Reed when you look at their accomplishments.

I don't see how Thanos > multiple Reeds working together in terms of intellect, though. I'm willing to be convinced, though.

The Council of Reeds encompasses many different versions of Reed -- each with their own unique ability/mutation. Against their combined might, Thanos would unlikely prove victorious. Then again, he's come out on top before when the odds weren't exactly in his favor. This one could go either way. I will say this though: Reed (the 616 version in particular) is certainly not less intelligent than Thanos.

Where intellectual feats are concerned, Reed is FAR beyond Thanos.

The Alien Entity used Reed's mind as the blueprints to create the entirety of Marvel creation from scratch. Hell, Reed himself used the UN to destroy and recreate the entire multiverse during the Abraxas affair (and using the UN without killing yourself in the process requires FULL knowledge of your target.)

In short: Reed, on at least 2 occasions, has proven that he possesses no less than a multiversally significant intellect. Thanos ain't got shit on that.

Thanos is being underated imo.
