WBHulk vs Thanos Cage Match

If said doppleganger was more powerful than him, how exactly did Thanos beat him with punches? Did he out fight him in terms of skill or did he use other powers or exploit a weakness or what?

Sue Storm helped him when Thanos was losing, which gave him an opening to punch a hole in the things chest. And then the doppleganger turned into a butterfly that Thanos ate to gain enlightenment or something along those lines.

Also that tie in has never been mentioned again in Nova corps files etc, imo it was a pointless time that added nothing

Sues punches did nothing to aid him tho, its clear from the panel that her "punches" didnt do anything as Thanos himself was only just having a effect

I don't know, it's been a while, but I remember her assistance being emphasized as the turning point of the battle. Anyone have the scans? It was either Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #369 or #370 I believe.

It's canon though so it deserves to be noted at least.

Ive got it on disc somewhere, im almost certain that her punches did nothing..as i said Thanos was only just having a effect after a long battle thats why he had to go "astral suicide" as Thanos stated. For Sue to come in a land just 2 hits and change the face of the battle is stupid imo.

I'm not going to comment on the battle further until I re-read it because it's been too long.

I just remember the emphasis on her turning the tide. Whether or not it was warranted is not something I can accurately judge at the moment.

Thanos had to amp himself in order to beat his doppelganger. Before he amped, they were almost dead even, and then Thanos said something like, "so I steel myself" (steel is a synonym for fortify) and the energy that normally surrounded his fist started surrounding his entire body and he went "super saiyan" literally. The doppelganger amped too, and they go back and forth. The real Thanos somehow got the upper hand, and the doppelganger stopped amping (e.g., the energy surrounding his body disappeared), and Thanos precedes to punch a hole into his chest "killing" the doppelganger.

Now take a few moments to digest that in your mind. Everyone agrees Thanos has legendary durability, which the doppelganger shared by virtue of it's nature. Yet Thanos punched a hole into his doppelganger's chest. Probably one of Thanos' most impressive strength/striking feats.

If that's the case and the doppleganger simply stopped amping and Thanos somehow got the upper hand during the fight, that's not exactly the same as the implication that Thanos straight up beat down someone more powerful than him. Taking you at your word, the context involved does shed some light as to how Thanos beat someone more powerful than himself under his own power.

Do I need to post scans of WW Hulk running out of juice against the Sentry ?

Well actually, the only reason the doppelganger stopped amping was because Thanos landed three solid punches nearly knocking the doppelganger out forcing him to lose concentration and stop amping. Not sure what category that would fall into? Out-skilling? Out-fighting? Superior will-power?

I can post the entire fight for the context, but it's pretty much what I said.

I have to go with Thanos on this. I haven't seen Hulk exert enough power to defeat Thanos. Too many options at Thanos' disposal.

EDIT: Whoops. Didn't see the OP. Eh, still think Thanos would pull the majority. Maybe not with a stomp, but still.

Thanos has immense durability, so that will keep him in a fight longer than most, but Hulk eventually wins.

It's hard for me to really say much about WorldBreaker Hulk. Has he appeared outside WWH? I have to admit that's around the time I stopped reading much Marvel.
