People don't even like Superman using Torquasm Vo and Torquasm Rao on the forum, which were fairly consistently part of his comics and even other appearances for nearly 6 years or so, simply because he doesn't use it after that span. But you want to use a tech piece that showed up in one story 20 years ago as standard? lol.

What about Superman? Are there any arc specific techniques and attacks he may have used once, to great success, and have never been seen from again, abhi?

But obviously he can't use it here.

Yeah, I'm not a Superman hater (I used to kid around with some forum members that were Supers fans but that's about it), but he's not winning this.He'll put up a good fight with his natural abilities + Mjolnir but he's not beating Thanos.
Originally posted by abhilegendHis fight against Odin, his intelligence, his fight against a power gem Thor, his fight against Tyrant, the Surfer all ram home the point he's on another level than Superman is consistently portrayed at. I think we both know that to be the case.
So, nothing but "He wins, I say so"?
Well, Thanos did OK against Odin or Tyrant, but the victor in those fights was never really in question (and it wasnt Thanos). While I support Superman with weapons here to beat Thanos, narrowly, him beating Thanos without such gear, I definately dont see happening. As for the Force Block weapon, I dont see that being what I would call standard equipment or powers for him, not even close.
Originally posted by DTMOdin never defeated Thanos though his power did easily oneshot the Surfer and Drax. TRhe same blast didn't make Thanos' hot body even twitch. Those fights proved Thanos is on another level entirely. Based on what does Superman win with this gear ?

I just feel all that Superman brings to the table (mentally and physically), adding in an indestructible shield and a hammer to add to his already earth shattering strikes, would be enough to take down Thanos slightly more than not. Superman is not like Thanos' usual foes, that I think will help Kal emerge the victor in the end. And for the record, I do like Thanos quite a bit, on the same level, or more, than I do Superman.
Originally posted by DTMThor is more skilled and has more experience with the hammer and it hasn't aided him in beating Thanos by himself. Thanos has fought foes easily capable of planetary destroying power ala the Surfer and doesn't even really notice him. Thanos is also far more cunning than Superman and more powerful as well. We also have seen characters far more powerful than Superman attack Thanos one on one.

Superman isnt Thor, they are similiar to a degree, but definately different overall, especially in the superspeed/agility/reaction time arena, adding in Thor never fought normal Thanos with Caps Shield on him. I agree Thanos is a Powerhouse, I just feel Superman with 2 Major League amps is a tad moreso.
Originally posted by DTMYou're right he isn't as skilled nor does he have as much experience with the war hammer. He also isn't that experienced with the shield either. I also believe Thor especially with the power gem is far more powerful than Superman so while his speed is better his overall power,skill, and experience with said weapons pales in comparison imo.

Experience using a hammer and shield for their basic affects is hardly needed. No one is saying Superman is going to be twirling the hammer to make a shield, or summoning lightning, nor to use the shield to bounce around and hit Thanos from behind, BUT anyone (especially someone as Experienced, Skilled and Smart as Superman, not to mention as FAST, which is a big factor here) can use a big shield to block attacks, and a hammer to add to his own hitting power.
