Gamora vs Drax

Please point it out.

I think it's been pretty clear that we've been discussing current Drax, and current Drax hasn't displayed any such abilities since Annihilation.

It was also pretty clear when he was in his "kryptonite" mode, as he was glowing green, peeling apart Thanos' forcefields with his bare hands and punched his heart out.

As opposed to now where he's using guns, bombs, brute force and getting his ass handed to him.

He was using knives, bombs, guns before Annihilation, and still getting his ass handed to him though. And yes it is unreasonable for Thanos to be hurt by a character of Drax's strength level when he is not in a weakened state. If we take him knocking the blood out of Thanos' mouth at face value, it would mean that he actually hits harder than Thor. He does not. Nothing will change the fact that he isn't a class 100 character. We saw his fight with Gladiator, and he did well until Gladiator decided to stop playing around with him. My problem is that Thanos in one instance takes a block buster hit from Thor to his head, and is fine, and in another reels from a punch from Drax.

Why would Drax be made to destroy Thanos when he has always been inferior to Thanos? when did he lose the power to weaken Thanos like he did during the Annihilation arc? I mean when was it explicitly stated?

"when did he lose the power to weaken Thanos like he did during the Annihilation arc? I mean when was it explicitly stated?"

It was stated by drax and I am looking for it right now. One thing that shows he has not used it is because he was glowing green which he has not done since.

"In issue #4 of "Annihilation" Drax displayed an ability unseen in any of his previous incarnations; while in close proximity to Thanos' body, his own body emitted a strange, form-fitting aura. Shortly thereafter, he punched straight through the Thanos' chest with a single blow." - comic vine

Comic vine agrees that it is an unseen ability and it has not been shown since then so it is not still in use. Drax stated this himself which I am still looking for.

Do you examples of him using it outside of annihilation?

If the state of Thanos' face is the sole decider then Thor hits harder than Odin and Tyrant, who in turn hit harder than Galactus.

You seem to think that losses somehow disqualify him from being a particular strength-level, this isn't the case.

As opposed to being interrupted by Drax in the middle of an attack.

There's also the matter of Thanos still being affected by Thor's attack and eventually recovering full force despite Drax's best efforts.

Finally there's the fact that Thor always holds back and that every fiber in Drax's body screams for him to kill.

There's also the fact that Thanos is weaker in the cancerverse:

Sure, Thanos did get better eventually as Mantis notes, but Life is still the dominant force is the cancerverse as they resurrected endlessly.

It has been stated so many times that Drax was made to destroy Thanos. I can post these once I get back from the store if you don't believe me.

"It has been stated so many times that Drax was made to destroy Thanos."

No he asked "when did drax lose the power to weaken Thanos like he did during the Annihilation arc?"
