I'm finding it hard to see Despero dropping Thanos after seeing him taking repeated hits from a Cosmic Cube, and getting back up. The attacks were in the form of both energy, and blunt force. When has Despero ever taken hits of that magnitude? Also why is Superman the subject of discussion once again?

Thanos has an advantage that makes him sometimes appear more powerful. Thanos is a villain that kills while Superman is a hero that doesn't kill.
So of course Superman isn't going to use his highest hv on someone the high majority of the time. Thanos often has no qualms about killing and is more willing to release fully on a fool. This is not a fair comparison in judging who has the more powerful energy output. So talking of averages is irrelevant since context plays a huge role.
Thanos would body Despero more times than not (not being highly unlikely) and this other shit going around in this thread is just a distraction of that.

This is always ignored though. h1 believes that the odin fight was only energy attacks, so he dismisses it, and states that Thanos only has strong defenses against energy assaults. Not to mention having taken a full face assault from Thor's hammer, and not going down. This is a guy that breaks through Celestial armor, and destroys planets with the hammer. Thanos took it, and slapped Thor aside. This is a clear indication of him being a full tier above the High Herald tier. Thor is arguably in the top 5 most powerful Heralds out there.

Does it matter whether Thanos' defenses were just his physical body or a forcefield?
He's still going to have his forcefield in this fight 😛

Just checked it out. That Cube may have been weakened, but the question is to what extent? Thanos looks worse after only two assaults by it than he did during his run in with Odin. He goes on to take more assaults from it, and refuses to stay down, or be KO'd by it. He gets hit by energetic assaults, flew off, and impacts the ground, then takes a full punch to the face.
We've seen his costume torn off so it's pretty evident that his body has been hit and withstood attacks. Things that hurt Despero's body wouldn't hurt Thanos' and then you add thanos' various shields. Defense is not even an argument.
A planetary level explosion, shit even a continental one might be something Despero might want to avoid
^I was just curious as to why people even tried to turn it into an argument. Thanos will have access to all of his defenses, so why would it matter if it was a physical defense or not?

It was a cracked cosmic cube. Did you read Thanos imperative? 😛
It was pretty clear that it was not a complete cube.

Of course I read it, but it still had power. Plenty of power. To deny it, and call it a non feat would be incorrect, if that is what you are trying to say. The fact remains that Thanos took more heat from it than he did when he had his run in with Odin.
Yes, but it wasn't a full cosmic cube.
Obviously it's a feat, but it would be wrong to say that it was a complete cosmic cube.
Thanos also took more damage from Drax' gun than he did from the cosmic cube and Odin.

It was never said it was cracked IIRC.Starlord thought the cube only had a blast or so left in it, he was clearly wrong as it had way more juice than that left in it
Originally posted by krisblazefrom what I remember it was given the gaurdians by Kang for the upcoming encounter with Adam Magus . Then Starlord was using against Magus and Thanos in Imperative:Ignition in which he stated he thought it only had enough juice for one more blast etc. Since then it's been used several times.

It was the same cosmic cube from the preceeding GoTG comics wasn't it? Which was cracked.
