That is a myth as well?

......Yes.

she never had the mind gem in Infinity Abyss #3 (and im pretty sure that's what you're referring to, because that's the only one).

Captain Marvel v1 #31, Thanos defeated Moondragon in telepathy, just as well. With smaller effort than Strange did:

wait, wait, i think i must have mixed up the battles. argh, stupid gems. can't keep track of when someone had them and when they didn't.... 🙁

^ Well, i remember very well that after Warlock & the infinity watch ended, and the whole Rune and Ultraverse affair started, which was in the mid 90s, that's where she lost the gem (to Rune). Infinity Abyss was 7 years after that, so if we consider that, it's impossible for Moondragon to have possessed the gem at that time. And it was never shown on panel anyways.

He had the ccu in that fight, didn't he?

werent you the one to bring up the synchronicty wave? what can thanos do against that assuming we're calling vertigo John classic considering he's consistently been the same character aging in real time with demon blood to slow it down. But he definitely has been aging

Yes, that doesn't mean he used it, though. It was definitely just a telepathic battle. Throughout the story, it's made pretty clear when Thanos is using the cosmic cube, and when he isn't.

If he was using the cosmic cube do you honestly think Thanos couldn't just end the battle within one second? here's the following page and Thanos made it quite clear that any thought of his, became reality:

im 100% sure that he wasn't utilizing the cube against Moondragon.

If anything it outright says: A mind war. That should be clear enough.

Yeah that's what I thought too. If Thanos was using the cube, he would have stomped her instantly. But the actual TP battle was close, with Thanos edging her out and winning. I doubt Moondragon's TP is powerful enough to just barely lose to a cube user.

But that's the thing, he was toying with the people. Here Cap flat out says so.

Cosmic Cube enhances all the powers of the beings that wield it, it doesn't have to be spelled out when someone is using it or not.

Why wouldn't Thanos use the cube if he had it in his possession? Doesn't make sense. The ft isn't usable imo.

He definitely was not using the cube there.

That's not the case here. Tell me, what do you think the point of Moondragon assaulting him?

Before the Moondragon scene, Captain Marvel and the others attack Thanos and he loses the Cube for a while and tries to regain it:

Directly after those scans comes Moondragon scans (which i posted), and before Thanos has the chance to ever utilize the cube, Moondragon engages him in a telepathic battle.

Just because Thanos had the cube in his hand, doesn't mean he's using it (you should know that). Like here, when Thanos had the cube in his hand, yet he lost it after he slipped:

http://i.imgur.com/FNdp6R8.jpg

It's made pretty clear when Thanos is using the cube and when he doesn't. Like this for example:

Or this:

http://i.imgur.com/vY1BrBI.jpg?1

The cube glows, to indicate that it's in use.

I don't think it's even arguable, tbh.

Im curious to know though: You really do believe that Moondragon's telepathy is strong enough to resist an artifact which merged Thanos with the entire universe in an instant...?

I'm seriously disappointed in you. Starlin himself recounted that scene two issues later.

Do you see how even before he became the universe, he had the "infinite" power? I hope you do because this "cube glows so thanos was using it and shit" is pretty hilarious. For what its worth we see the cube faintly glowing here too.

This "arguing over minutia" shit is pretty annoying. Thanos had the CCU when he beat Moondragon and that should be the end of argument. Its like arguing The Hood beat Xavier on his own in TP when he had the mind gem and he didn't even knew he was using it.

^ O.....K.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this scan from the beginning of issue #33 is completely irrelevant. Because where did i ever claim that the cube's power was not infinite before Thanos' grand transformation??? Right, i didn't. I was merely saying that if Thanos held it, it doesn't mean he's using it.....which should be obvious for everyone reading the story.

Nice, so you left out the next panel where it shows that the cube is not glowing in his right hand:

http://i.imgur.com/xykiFqO.jpg?1

ey, pay attention instead of resorting to unwaranted insults.

The fact that you believe that "thanos holding the cosmic cube = thanos using the cube" is ridiculous. Because that's not the case at all.

Still waiting for this part, though:

Let's see you answer that.

On panel it was stated that there was a "struggle" and time was actually taken to seek anything in the subconscious that could be used for an advantage. With the cube in effect, this should've been a rape as soon as they engaged. Not really surprising Thanos can do this on his own though because she failed against Strange relatively easily + she failed against Surfer when she had the MG.

That's not what happened. AT ALL. Thanos was merely playing with everyone there, he wasn't using his own powers though. He was using CCU as the panel shows where Moondragon is also present as captured when Thanos captured her via beating her in TP. Its totally relevant.

So he was using it for nothing in one panel and not using it in the next? What was he doing with it in the panel I posted though?

Insults? What insults?

Of course its ridiculous.

That's where this coms in.

Because marvel was knocking around Thanos' actual form with CCU. Mar-vell for skyfather level!!!!

And then Starlin had thanos use her to create a TP link for galactus because he couldn't do it on his own. Moondragon didn't have the gem against Strange and she didn't want to harm Surfer. Spider-man tanked her TP bolts too and then she sent Xavier into a coma in the same arc. It was made clear that she didn't want to harm the heroes who rebelled against Goddess.

^ i know Moondragon didn't have the gem vs Strange and links aren't that impressive. If anything it makes Thanos achieving victory over MD using his own power more reasonable. Surfer resisted while she was amped and Strange broke her as well.

I think we can all agree that if the cube was used, the battle wouldn't have lasted the couple panels that it did. 👆

You don't ever answer his questions directly because you know it shows your position to be utterly ridiculous. Thanos didn't use the cube against her in the mind war.

That was because Thanos was playing as Mar-Vell revealed later. Thanos with CCU vs Captain Mar-Vell shouldn't last one panel. It occurred for several pages.
