Thanos vs. V&V Despero

Originally posted by Stoic
No he doesn't Despero is less durable in all areas, his energy projection is inferior, his intellect is inferior, he isn't a cosmic Avatar favored by an Abstract being, he would have little effect on Thanos' mind when you consider what Thanos' mind has been through, and how even when being dichotomized, had the ability to remain relevant, and survive the experience. Despero isn't hitting as hard as Odin, Tyrant, Galactus, Omega, a Cosmic Cube, or IG Magus. Despero's magical abilities are inferior as well, as his ability to heal himself. I've always read you sticking with the versatility argument... Well it's time that you remembered what drives many of your arguments. Thanos is superior in every way.

Thanos would turn Despero into salt brother. This isn't a fight, it's a slaughter.

I believe Despero wins because his strength and durability trumps Thanos advantages IMO.

Thats what i've been trying to get across/based my choice on.

That's cool, but Despero would have about as much chance of beating Thanos as he would of beating Darkseid. None. He'd wreck Mongul for sure, but Thanos is a different creature altogether. Okay, look at how easily Thanos took out the Silver Surfer, who would be just as powerful as any of those characters that Despero took out. The Surfer wasn't able to so much as make Thanos flinch with his power output. I understand that Despero has a very limited amount of showings that showcase his full abilities, but the ones that he does have, simply aren't enough to raise his stock to the point of beating guys in Thanos' power class.

You have to look at what Thanos can actually do. I could literally see Thanos smiling at Despero, as he transmutes his molecules, and turns him into salt, sand, or some other material that would kill him.

Thanos is vastly superior in every category, Thanos is leagues above despero. Thanos rats herald and trans level beings lunch

Thanos is vastly superior to a being who fought Superman, Capt Marvel, Wonder Woman, Power Girl and Hourman to a standstill? Nah, not happening. Thanos MIGHT win, he MIGHT lose, but neither combatant here is vastly superior to the other here.

Not to mention Despero lifted the Rock of Eternity, which was stated to have infinite weight.

👆 at last two posts.
These are things being overlooked.

Despero is vastly stronger. Thanos can be easily hurt by high herald level blunt force. Thanos never no sold a high herald blunt attack. Despero is superior in blunt force durability and strength. Thanos will have an advantage in energy projection, versatility and tactics. So this is a good fight.

I believe Despero wins because his strength and durability trumps Thanos advantages IMO.

Thanos can't transmute a trans being. Durability automatically grants resistance to transmutation. No limits fallacy here. Despero can simply knock Thanos out in a few blows. Ever think about that?

Despero wins

Lol at sad carvers trolling , he gave Thanos the win on the first page.

I see nothing in those scans that Thanos couldn't do. I take the Titan although he would work for it.

I can agree with it being a good fight either way.
In typical fashion if facts/conjecture/universe to universe comparisons for one side are completely ignored, then meaningful debate becomes a crapshoot.

Despero did not no sell high Herald hits either. Put your glasses on. Thanos has been hit by forces far above the Herald class. He took both physical and energetic attacks from a Cosmic Cube, several times. This is not limited to a slug fest, this is what would happen if they both fought using all of their powers. Thanos would transmute Despero the moment the fight began Period.

Why can't he automatically transmute Despero? Starro automatically cut his ugly head off. Did his stature stop that? Is he made of molecules? Most of your arguments make no sense. This one is no different. And Lol at the no limits fallacy fallacy tactic. Retreat when in doubt huh? You don't need to have infinite power to defeat Despero, you only need to be more powerful, and Thanos is more powerful, and more versatile by far. I've pretty much began to ignore this no limits fallacy BS that people launch as some sort of dummy prop to somehow strengthen their weak arguments.

What does the ROE have to do with anything? Did that stop him from getting beaten by Superman? Did Superman's Spectre lifting feat help him when he was being beaten along with the rest of that crew by Despero? I can say Not To Mention Thanos being punched in the face by Magus with the IG, and not being KO'd as well (which happens to be a blunt force durability feat), or taking heat from Odin that would haave killed Despero, or surviving Tyrant, Galactus, and Omega.

Thanos is vastly superior to Despero. Have you taken time to write down their abilities side by side? You want to do that now?

Despero
Massive superhuman strength, and durability, mass manipulation, genius intelligence, psionic powers via third eye (mind control, illusions, telekinesis, and telepathy), exhibits super speed reactions.

Thanos
Enormous superhuman strength, telepathy, high durability, exhibits super speed reactions, mysticism, cosmic energy manipulation (ability to absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy), molecular transmutation, healing factor, super genius intelligence, teleportation, force cube technology, telekinesis, longevity, accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, and power bestowed by the abstract entity Death.

Despero is powerful, but he is lacking. He is one step down from Thanos, and Darkseid, and in a forum where they both use their full abilities, Thanos or Darkseid would destroy Despero quickly.

He did that? Ok we can say now at least that he is stronger, physically, by feat than Thanos.

Seriously guys, you didn't even take time to write down their abilities side by side!

lmfao

Isn't that what you normally argue when stating that Thor would always defeat the Hulk due to his lack of versatility? If hypocrisy is your best argument, I believe that you may be in need of some more ammo. So yeah LYAO, I'm right there with you.

Well, Despero has a more varied power set than Hulk. He's not just strong.
He just happens to be stronger than Thanos.

You are so going to get black listed for that, even though you're right.

How is he right? if we go by this type of logic, Hyperion should be vastly stronger than Thanos, and he should have beaten the Cabal, all by himself. This isn't what was shown on panel though.

No it's generally the fact that he's overpowered 🙂

I think Thanos wins, but the fact that he has MORE POWERS WRITTEN ON TEH INTERNET WIKIPEDIAZ is no why.
