It's a good thing that he's not human then.

I think once you removed his "Eternal Mutant" powers, he becomes a human and his physiology would kill him. I don't see how Thanos can really be depowered as some of his might comes from what he knows, he is although we never see it a high grade mystic.

But his bones are huge. He would be able to obviously support his weight, but move at the rate of speed that a normal human would be able to is what I get or got from the OP. This would mean that he was still Super Human by human standards simply because of his weight, and the strength that it would take him to move about. however if he was unable to support his own weight, he would like you said kill himself. I kind of doubt that the OP made the thread with that premise in mind.

I haven't seen any examples of Thanos' skill, or fighting abilities, just saying. I am sure he has a massive size advantage, but does anyone have any showings of his skill? Saying he trained Gamora is fine and dandy, but she also had significant training with others after that.
He wouldn't need any to be honest. Taking a man of Superman's size and weight down would be simple. However, he does possess H2H skills, which should be easy to realize when he smacked the Hulk out of his blitz with perfect timing.

He has the telegraphed yet impossible to counter ***** slap of death. I actually think the fact it has hit so many characters with high level reflexes, often multiple characters is proof of Thanos's super speed.
What does Thanos need beyond that one move? It is the Crane technique of comics!

Doesn't work like that human bone has a definite density you can scale everything up and animals and humans just move into the slow lane as the metabolism also has to slow down. Thanos would spend all his life eating or digesting and farting. It would be his life, look at the Calories someone like Marcus Ruhl has to consume and he's a heart attack waiting to happen.

Not to mention, he'd have stronger bones etc. Hell, Kingpin is a 'normal man', and he's fast enough to tag Spidey on occasion, and super fricking strong.Stoic's right, skill would not really come into it. Thanos could accidentally fall and crush Clark.
Superman could win like David did against Goliath I guess, but God would have to be willing to help him pull off that miracle. 985 lbs? Most people would run and hide.
Originally posted by Stoic985lbs, most people wouldn't be able to move, solid muscle or not, in fact that would make it worse. Anyone remember "the power broker"?

Ah, i forget, one win, as ling as it proves your point, is all that matters here.Not.
Well let's see. Out of his 8 fights, he faced Min-Soo Kim(254 lbs according to Wikipedia), Frank Mir(who's definitely above 250), Heath Herring(also above 250), Randy Couture(who was under 230 at the time), Frank Mir again, Shane Carwin(who based on an article I read, cuts about 30 lbs to make the 265 limit, or at least did at the time he fought Lesnar), Cain Velasquez(around 240) and Alistair Overeem(who may or may not cut weight, but is around the 265 lbs limit).
Lesnar would cut to make the weight limit, or at least before he did a diet change due to his illness. Dunno if it changed after. But anyways, we can say he's larger than everybody he fought except Carwin and maybe Overeem(I think Lesnar looked a bigger), but Cain and Randy are the ones who best fit "much smaller."
Randy has much more of a striking background than Cain(Randy did box as well as wrestle during his Army days, and he had been training in striking for MMA for a lot longer than Cain), and really is a lot more proven against strikers than Cain(not that Cain hasn't beaten good to elite strikers, but Randy's record speaks for itself), but I'll include him for the sake of the argument.
So, against much smaller strikers, Lesnar in his MMA days went 1-1. So, one win and one loss, does that meet your criteria?
