Superman VS Thanos: A TEST OF STRENGTH

CM and superman were locked in arm wrestling and from supermans mouth himself knew, stated and made it clear as day that he and CM were too evenly matched in strength and superman was NOT holding back and only won when CM lost strength.http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/13/139093/2949507-black+adam+1.jpg

Thanos 10/10

That is an interesting scan I have seen before especially since nowhere is it stated or implied that Superman is not holding back (and merely just trying to placate Captain Marvel for the sake of the team) . Listen all I am saying is that more so than any other member of the Justice League Superman was shown overtime in many instances to be superior to his fellow members (OWAW was the ultimate example of this) when he stopped holding back becomes the hero that is the most consistent to get the job done against impossible odds.The characters Superman and Captain Marvel have evolved through time differently than what is being presented which is a bit of an shadowy unsound tactic being used ...

Also I've to say, JBL pulls out the weirdest analogies to demean superman. Such hate has to be admired.

Thanos 10/10

Why can't Marvel be stronger than Thanos too when he doesn't hold back?

Pointing out that superman would lose to Thanos and is in the same strength class as CM and BA holding back or not is not hate. Hate is when people refuse to accept the fact that superman can and will lose to thanos and has a lot of peers in the same class as him. Hate is when one statement is seen as truth and another is pushed aside because it cancels out the first cherry picked one. If people say superman lose, its seen as hate? if they say he wins they are loved?

Also it was stated that Superman subconsciously holds back. That means at times he believes he is using all of his strength when he really isn't. He had to be in extreme situations (dd) or taught (Mongol) to let loose his full power.

Thanos does hold back. You obviously don't recall when he fought his clone. That was a Thanos that went all out, as opposed to his usual feats of power, where he is often seen taking it easy on guys in Superman's tiier. You aren't going to win anyone over with this "he is always holding back" argument. All of the hero's hold back. When Thanos took hits from Thor he was holding back. Thor was going all out. When he fought his clone, he had to dig deep, and we see him actually shift into an energized physical state.

On average Superman is being bowled over by people far less powerful than someone capable of taking hits from Odin. You're obviously going to win the strength argument based off of the fact, that Thanos has no lifting feats. But then again neither does the Living Tribunal, Death, the Inbetweener, and many other characters out there. Should we automatically say that Superman is stronger than those guys as well. Actually don't answer, I forgot that you can't see past your own flawed logic.

At average, Superman is still in the herald range, just like Blue Marvel, the Silver Surfer, Thor and several others. Thanos is above these guys.

Well, I don't think Superman is stronger than Thanos, but I'm not sure how Black Adam and Billy Marvel prove that point seeing as they have just as ridiculous feats as Superman (though not as numerous).

Though on the topic of lifting feats vs fighting feats, no one actually thinks Hyperion is stronger than Thanos, right?

No, unless they discount Hyperion getting hurt by guys below Thanos.

Initially he said that Superman wasn't a new god and should leave and he would be spared.

Superman refused, its not hard to know what happened next.

Thor is as strong as Superman, thinking otherwise is just plain idiotic.

Each characters have there strengths and weaknesses, and other areas where one excels at while the other fails.

Superman is definitively stronger than Thor.

That was half-hearted. I putting Abhi or h1a8 in charge of the House of El.

I've already banished, Abhi the Usurper, from the House of El.

HIA8 recognizes my power.

I am the UNDISPUTED ruler of The House of El.

Watch your mouth in the future,boy!

This is silly. Even humans have increased strength during extreme situations. Its call adrenaline. Your logic is faulty.

There is a difference between how superman holds back and how others holds back.

Thanos wouldn't use the same amount of power in his blast against Galactus like he would to knock out let's say spiderman. Thano's is calculating and is in full control of his powers and he can use them as he see's fit.

It's like in football, is the qb going to put the same amount of power behind a 60+ yard pass as he would on a screen pass to the RB at the line of scrimmage?

A Quarterback is in control and is aware of his strength and limitations. He can put as much oomph as needed and holds back his arm strength on shorter passes, while superman on the other hand subconsciously imposed limits on himself that he can't break without proper training. The superman we see everyday limits it himself so that he appears to be a peer of high heralds, but as shown in OWAW, he isn't when those limitations are removed.
