Powerless Superman/Thanos
Inspired by SuperMex's thread, and the fact that these two characters have HUGE fanbases here.
No prep..
No B.F.R..
Thanos is striped of his power and is now a mortal man.
Superman loses all his powers and is now and a normal man.
Who wins?
No weapons.. Only h2h
Fight takes place in a featureless environment, starting distance of 10 feet.
Thanos stomps. There are different weight classes for a reason.
Ever saw Brock Lesnar VS Frank Mir 2? That's how the fight would go. Thanos would lay on Superman and beat his face in.
Thanos is also so god damn big and full of muscle, that I have a hard time believing Superman would be able to use any pressure points effectivly or at least attempt to submit him. Thanos is simply too strong due to his superior physiology.

He trained Gamora, who ended up being the best martial artist in the Marvel universe.
He was fooling Champion around, who is supposedly one of the greatest fighters in the Marvel universe, by outskilling him in close combat.

Originally posted by EnzeruThe very same Gamora that was going for the kill and still couldn't even hit Winter Soldier? Not saying that she isn't skilled, but her average showing doesn't really paint her as the best martial artist (most dangerous woman? Yes. Absolute best? No.) I'd probably put Moondragon above her. Also, he wasn't really fooling around with Champion. IIRC he caught him off guard with a cheap shot, used his energy shields, energy blasts, and teleporter, and threatened to leave him floating in space. Lastly, pre-Flashpoint Superman was trained in h2h by Batman, master Kryptonian martial arts, and has trained with some of the most skilled JLA members in h2h.
