Correct.
The whole "Gungnir" argument falls through. All Gungnir has is Odin's power. Maybe it can focus it, but it has been infused with Odin's power.
Like, pretty much everything in Asgard.
And, honestly, where does everybody think Thanos' power comes from?
Anybody have any idea how many different sources it probably comes from?
When he was first created, it was common knowledge that he had upgrade himself. He loves his "tech" and has always been seen stealing power artifacts.
Since he has been reborn so many times, does anybody wonder where his upgrades have gone? Does anybody wonder why he is being shown as more powerful, since being recreated, probably without upgrades?
And, if he is more powerful WITHOUT all of the upgrades he performed to make him so powerful in the beginning, why did he have them in the first place?
Does anybody even want to go there? 😆
So, we know this:
1. Odin's power, comes from Odin. Even if he is using Gungnir, it is still his own power that flattened Thanos like a "lil' lady". 🙄
2. The ONLY way for Thanos to be as powerful as he is, is if he is getting it from other sources. From the beginning, he needed his tech upgrades in order to be at top-tier. Now, without it, for him to be as powerful as he is, he would need to be pulling it from somewhere else.
Unless somebody can point to the book that shows Thanos getting a permanent, personal increase in his very own power profile.
