Thanos rollz on them

Thanos should be able to beat this team but I have a feeling it will be decided by plot device. Brevoort said it will span over more than one issue.

Also this was funny from his formspring:

TomBrevoort responded to BigDaddyJdawg 11 May
Please don't sell my boy Thanos short in the next movie or comic. Thanos is very powerful and really should one shot all of the Avengers. What makes thanos great is Marvel has keep true to this and not sold him short in the past. I hope this continues.

"I don't think I agree at all that Thanos should "one-shot" all of the Avengers--he never has in the past (maybe that one time he had the Infinity Gauntlet and absolute power). He's powerful, sure, but that's a bit ridiculous."

Thanos can take the avengers movie team without the ig and power gems or whatever. I think Thor and Hulk could give him trouble but not enough to where they can beat him. The next avengers movie, they're going to have to get some better people if they want to beat him.

Someone should tell him to read up on Thanos...current could one shot them for sure...

Thanos saw withstood attacks from Odin Asgardian skyfather and Depowered Tyrant who has took on Galdiator, Silver Surfer & Beta Ray Thor and won. He is above heralds and a notch below Odin and Zeus imo

Thanos is a notch above heralds and quite below Odin.

Depends on the line up. He's not taking all the Avengers who ever existed. If you had a team with Thor, Hercules, Hulk, Sersi, etc, they could take Thanos.

Not really.

He's a LOT more than a notch below Odin. I've said it before, taking a few blasts when fighting Odin (and Thanos also had help), and then barely being able to stand up, does not make him JUST below Odin. Hell, Thor's taken blasts from Galactus. He fought Zeus for months. I guess he's right below them as well?

That Odin/Thanos fight barely lasted 15 minutes in comic time, I'll bet. If it had gone on a half an hour, or an hour, Thanos would be reduced to a greasy purple spot on the floor and Odin would be no worse for wear.

Also, if you're basing your evidence on that one fight, I guess you think Spiderman is more powerful than the Hulk since by my count he BEAT the Hulk three times. Show me some feats that make you think Thanos is right below a guy who's destroyed galaxies.

No he can't.

Thanos is not beating both Thor and Hulk at the same time. He could hang with them for a while but ultimately he would lose.

I think you meant "withKNEES".
Or, maybe "with-girlie-screamed".
Or, perhaps, "withFELL".
Could be "withWEPT".
"withSQUIRMED".
"withSMOLDERED".
"withIMPOTENT".
"withSODOMIZED".

Well, you get the idea. 😄

Thanos, just not really easily. It'll take him a little bit to beat Hulk and Thor.

With the way that Hulk is being portrayed in the Avengers title...he might solo.

It's my guess that we will all find out pretty soon if Thanos can take on the Avengers in the upcoming Avengers Assemble books. Imagine if he gets floored?

Depends on the Avengers team going against Thanos, an actual established lineup or something made up of puposely picked Avengers. Thanos will be able to defeat most lineups of the Avengers, but Im sure there are a few that have the power and skill to defeat him sand IG.
