^ Stripped the skin off Moondragon's arm with energy manip??? I don't really care that the Celestial Order apparently sucks. Controlling/possessing and manipulating are two different things. Magus accustoming himself to the Infintiy Gems more quickly than Thanos or Adam did, does not make him a better energy manipulator. It's a willpower feat if anything.
^ It makes me feel better that I don't willfully accept absurd conclusions just to suit narrow arguments.
Of course, Cap being a better energy manipulator than Nova is intriguing. Quick. Someone post that in Cap's Respect Thread under "Energy Manipulation" feats. He acclimated and controlled the full Novaforce with more ease than Rich did, after all.
Thanks for in the input guys.
The reason I ask is because of people bringing up what Magneto did to Proteus. Magneto's a tried and true energy manipulator, possessed of raw power as well as incredible finesse. Obviously, before anyone flips out, I'm not saying Magneto is more powerful than Thanos. However, when it comes to the electromagnetic spectrum, Magneto has a great wealth of magnitude of feats involving things outside of sheer destructive power, leading me to ask my earlier question.

He manipulated the energy so he could absorb it to suit him.

Yeah I know but I just wanted to know if he ever tested his "kill unkillable" powers on someone other than a cancerverse being. Because I mean I always thought it was like the situation where a character had the exact special power to solve the situation. Kinda like Invisible woman and exitar or maybe like white light killing off black lanterns, ya know?
Because in both instances the characters who had the right tool for the task at hand will not have the same effect on normal people as it would have the enemies of that story arc. Idk just wondering.

Just curious has Thanos killed anything other than cancerverse beings that were also said to be unkillable or was it just some PIS power for that story arc?
The way I look at it was that Thanos didn't become more powerful than normal, but rather just had the capability to make death "stick" as it were if said being (ie. Cancerverse denizen) was beyond death. He'd still need to be able to hurt said being and the like.

Captain America is a better energy manipulater than Nova aoccrding to you.
That this mirrors your rationale and has gotten you upset isn't my fault. It's your rationale.

Again call it what you like, couldnt give a shit.
Originally posted by OneDumbG0So they both had help, Thanos didnt have help manipulating the raw naked energy, so youre comparison is pointless.
^ Worldmind was helping Nova also. Fail to see any distinction.I'll call it how I see it. Possessing an amp =/= energy manipulation. Posessing an amp quicker than others =/= better energy manipulation than others.
