I don't care if Thanos wasn't koed, he was still affected. that proves he can be affected by herald level force. Even if he had one showing of no selling a high herald (he doesn't) then it wouldn't hold much water since Thanos has been affected many many times by high heralds or lower in his entire career. Just look at his history.You are making Thanos into something he is not. We go by feats and not speculation.
I'm for the Juggs who is invulnerable without the forcefield, as per some writers. That's the one I'm arguing. Mentioning Juggs low showings doesn't measure his strength. We seen Juggs overpowering Hulk with ease, matching WWH in strength, about to crush the living hell out of Thor, etc. Juggs is very strong. He has always affected Heralds with his attacks.
Tanking and no selling are two different things. Thanos has tanked High Herald physical assaults. He may not have no sold them.
As for the Juggernaut being used in this thread, you have to first understand the nature of his invulnerability, and how it effects him, and his opponents. Cain can use all of his strength without undermining his natural durability, unlike those that are not enchanted like he is. Wonder Man may only be able to use 50-60% of his full strength while battling a character that is more durable than he is. But when he is more durable, he can use more of a percentage of his strength. Cain does not have this problem, or better put, his damage threshold is much greater than Wonder Man's due to his increased durability.
If you took away the enchantment that grants Cain his freakish magical armor, he would still possess the durability that a character of his strength level would have, which would be roughly as durable as Wonder Man, or perhaps even lower judging by how easily Thor beat him up, which began to cause bruising, soon to become bleeding.
When Cain fights the Hulk, the same theory applies. The Hulk may be stronger, in terms of lifting, but Cain's magical nature makes him more durable, which effectively stymies the Hulk's advantage only allowing him to use a percentage of his strength against Cain, or he will risk suffering damage. Try it. Punch a brick wall, or bite a piece of steel with all of your might. You get it? Now give the Hulk Adamantium gloves with sufficient cushioning for his knuckles, and his punching power will increase dramatically.
Cain in this thread as I understand it, will only be relying on his durability without the magical enchantment that allows for him his high level of invulnerability. Let's just see if Time Immemorial
agrees with what I just wrote.
