I don't think there is anyone else in comic books who has a stronger will than Thanos. That's one of his traits. He will take punishment and ask for more.
But that doesn't mean that he didn't feel the lightning. He looked pretty fried afterwards to me. Sentry took the lightning and screamed, but there was no damage on him. Thor also managed to hurt Glory and in my opinion also the Chaos King with his lightning. Does this mean that Thanos is now more durable than they are?
No. Thanos is durable. He took the lightning and he took obvious damage, but he asked for more, because he is that badass.
Context.
No one is saying this is a durability contest. Of course anyone sane would think/know Thanos is more durable than Sentry. This is a testament of power. I think Sentry is overall more powerful. The guy punched Thor with enough strength to shake an entire planet. Don't know how that is going unnoticed.
This fight could go either way. Hope we see more from this Sentry.
Why? Because he has one showing against the guy who KILLED him and it took him help from an outside source to come back. Whoop whoop. Oh my god. He knocked out Thor he must be skyfather ++++++. He doesent have enough feats and for all the good ones Sentry does have he has super shitty ones to average em out. Thanos has a much longer history of beating and fighting people Sentry couldnt do shit to. Quit hanging on to that one molecule man thing. That is literally the only thing yall have to even put him in a fight with Thanos. Oh wait..Spiderman said some hyperbole crap that one time.And a few other characters sid something that one time.
So let's see here...
Sentry moves well beyond light speed.
He is far stronger than Thor in his current incarnation.
His current strength maximum is unknown, but he dropped Thor (a Herald Class Foe) with less than three solid strikes.
By contrast; Thanos took down Surfer (who is highly comparable to Thor when it comes to jaw strength, IMO) in three punches as I recall.
...that indicates a VERY similar striking power.
With the difference being that one moves at light speed and can land a blitz of Flash-Like hits for each of Thanos' return strikes.
Thanos has a primary form that is HIGHLY durable flesh.
But a scream from BB can bloody his face. He is not invulnerable. Just VERY hard to harm.
If Thanos were to face a creature strong enough to rip his face off, Thanos would fall.
Sentry has a form that is solid based mostly on his subconscious will.
His primary form is energy based. Not solid. He exists as a full controlled body of molecules.
This allowed him to reform from beyond blown apart by Molecule Man.
This allowed him to blow Owen apart in return.
It allowed him to assume the energy/octopus form of Void.
It allowed him to tank hits from a Herald with no evident damage or effect.
It has allowed him to rip his own face off, and show the meat below it to Thor.
Something that Thanos would risk self-K.O. (at the least) from attempting.
Thanos has taken to a Smash Mouth approach to combat.
He blasts. He punches. And he relies on his shields/durability to keep him standing.
But he acts on a system of high durability for defense. Not insane healing factor. He is no Lobo.
Sentry, on the other hand, has shown a healing factor that is immeasurable.
Total molecular body control. The ability to rebuild his form from total annihilation.
Virtual immunity to physical damage.
And the ability to reform from death by molecular based damage.
Thanos can blow Sentry apart, and Sentry has Feats (in arguably lesser form) that show he is capable of re-creating a new body as needed.
Thanos can rend his flesh from the bone. Sentry has shown no need for it. He just pulled a Ghost Rider (style) finish on Thor. Flesh damage is looking rather useless.
Sentry can strike Thanos with force that is arguably in the same league as his own.
This is based on compared "Herald Class" combat analysis.
Thanos dropped Surfer in three hits.
Thor has knocked Surfer out cold on more than one occasion.
Sentry dropped Thor in in LESS than three hits.
This shows that BOTH men can drop a Herald/Godling Class foe out in roughly 2-3 strikes.
And BOTh men have yet to find challenge to their strength limit beyond this in their current forms.
So we don't know who is currently stronger. Most assume Thanos. But have no way to quantify it beyond character preference.
And no way to show "how much" stronger Thanos is (if indeed he is at all).
Strength is thus either up in the air, or "may" favor Thanos.
We have durability that seems to favor Thanos. It's hard to hurt him.
And Healing/Reconstruction that HIGHLY favors Sentry. It doesn't seem to matter if you hurt him.
We have a HUGE speed advantage for Sentry.
The guy can move at multiple time the speed of light, and has blitzing Feats much like Superman.
Thanos will hit him. I have no doubt of this. But Sentry, sans PIS, should hit Thanos a plethora of times for each counter strike.
This in turn SHOULD counter much of any "strength gap" between the two.
...looking at the tell of the tape- why exactly are folks screaming for Thanos? confused1
Seriously-
Sentry has a HUGE edge in speed.
Sentry has a HUGE edge in regeneration; seeming virtually immune to conventional damage.
Both have "beyond Thor/Surfer" Class Strength.
Neither have a defined upper limit for their Strength.
And Thanos is not invulnerable. He can be harmed.
Black Bolts voice helped to define the limits of Thanos' durability.
One scream to the face is enough to bloody Thanos up a bit. Minor damage was done.
If BB had pulled out a large song book and started singing X-Mas Carols into Purple Chin's face- Thanos would have eventually fallen down.
That is simple logic based on direct on-panel evidence.
And it proves simply this one vital point... Thanos is NOT Juggernaut.
You "can" beat Thanos into a state of unconsciousness.
But you "cannot" beat down a creature that is capable of simply re-creating itself if you rip it apart.
Or that can rip itself apart just to show you its skull for dramatic effect.
Honestly- why wouldn't Death Sentry take this?

In fact I have - nearly all of them. Hulk wielding his arms very fast around himself and punching away a couple of cowboys doesn't establish him as a speedster.
In an issue few weeks ago he was inside a tower and was BFR'ed by his opponents. We saw him at the horizont and he started to run towards the tower again, but his opponents were calm, because they knew he would need half of a minute to cover that distance ... a distance people with actual super speed cover in distance.
Sentry and other characters with super-speed outclass Hulk, when it comes to speed...
Show me Hulk / Thanos doing this:

You won't be able to, because Hulk and Thanos are slow brutes. No one denies that they can move and punch faster than the average person, or hell probably even the most peak humans in comics - but that's also it.
But hey, I've seen Hulk fanboys, who are retarded to a point where they're saying that Hulk is faster than the speed of light due to gamma rays being as fast as light or some insane ... INSANE ... LITERALLY INSANE bullcrap like that.
Are you one of those retarded Hulk fanboys? Damn, I hope you're not, otherwise this was a total waste of my precious time.

If we look at the comics as their own universe and not as a writers take on the story, then we come to the following conclusion:
Thanos and Drax clashed and the force of the impact destroyed the planet they were on, which is a legit feat - no one denies that, but ...
... Recently in Infinity Thanos had to rely on a bomb to destroy the Earth, so he is not able to do it under his own power, since the Earth is too big and the planet he destroyed in the past was smaller.
Sentry on the other hand was fighting Thor on a planet with 19 billion residents. Does that instantly mean that the planet was 3 times bigger than the Earth? No, not necessarily, but it was still probably a very big planet and only the impact of the punch on Thor's face was felt around the entire planet.
Additionally to that Sentry has planet busting feats as well already.
Death Seed Sentry > Thanos, it's that simple.
