how big of a threat to the avengers is thanos without IG

You must be joking.

Villains like Thanos is exactly the Avengers were created for.

Thanos is one tough cookie, but he won't run over Thor & Red Hulk just like that. Not under his own power.

And give Iron Man some prep and, together with Thor, he'll take out Thanos.

Come on man they'd get the purple pimphand. And why even bring up ironman? If thanos turns his attention to him for 3 seconds he's scrap metal.

^ I'm curious to learn if this is the real Thanos and not some bootleg Skrull, or runaway Thanosi.

But Iron Man & Thor vs Thanos: the duo has a good chance, especially when Tony preps himself.

Iron Man vs Thanos ? Thanos every single time.

The thing here is that a lot of Thanos' prowess comes from reading the opinions of others, and how/what they think of him. Sometimes characters are low-balled to the point that people get the impression that they are weaker than they actually are, while others get so much in terms of props that they seem invincible.

To me Thanos is a True Powerhouse who is extremely hard to take down.

But not impossible. Definitely not impossible.

Although Thanos > Thor, the difference in power isn't that big. Thor can and will give Thanos a very decent fight every single time.

Like I said, the Avengers were created to take down guys like Thanos. Of course, when facing Thanos you don't need Wasp or Hawkeye or Spider-Man, you need the big guns.

But the Avengers have plenty of big guns. They have brains too.

I'm with you on this, but many people will compare Thor's performance, or how well the Surfer did against Thanos to how well Thor would do against Thanos. This is a mistake, because Thor does not have the same powers as the Surfer, and they don't fight alike.

So you have no counter arguments...

Yeah, I generally do. However I'm not about to argue over what should be general knowledge man. Besides you missed the whole point of my post. I wasn't talking so much about the difference in power levels (though the gap is vast) as much as I was talking about character progression and portrayal. Thanos as we know him over the last few years is beyond this stuff. It's like Dr Doom robbing banks.

ABC logic is the worst kind of logic on these forums. I admit, sometimes you don't have a choice, but still...

Well one thing is semi-certain, we will see how well Thanos does against an Avengers team comprised of the Hulk and Thor. Like I said though, this may be some skrull impostor. I'm not even sure if Avengers Assemble is canon because how did Thanos escape from the Cancerverse?

I think it's the real one.

Is there a reason or story behind him being alive or how he escaped from the Cancerverse? What's the story with Rich Rider? Someone has a lot of explaining to do.

Who knows man. It's getting harder for me to care.

Well you know Marvel, everything will be explained... some day... if some writer feels like it.

Sadly, this.

Thanos was a bank robber though, using a CC to rob banks is a LITTLE excessive IMO.thanduros

He also caught and ate that butterfly. What a devious bastard he was!

Yeah, thanos is an awful, awful man.

It's a good job the police took his helicopter or now one would be able to stop him.
