they admit he'd kill them all if they continued fighting him as he was too powerful as he's beating them all down. So they whip up a plot device to subdue his mind.

All this happens in issue 12 iirc.

So a super weakened Thanos who needs guns to fight against mid tiers? And bound by extreme PIS?

kay. Darkseid wins against this Thanos.

True, the second fight BP and BM outsmarted him FTW (a good feat in itself) rather than beat him down. But it remains that in the first fight they were able to physically beat him down and KO him although one team member was killed in the process. Still, comprehensively beating Thanos twice, once physically and once by improvising and both pretty quickly, is impressive.

On the other hand Darkseid is hard to compare with all the inconsistencies under different writers and different versions, preboot etc. A while back I might have given Thanos an edge but these days maybe the other way.

typical of you to ignore the fact they had the element of surprise the first time and for some reaso Thanos needed guns. Lol at comprehensively beating him twice.

In the second fight they were nothing physically to Thanos and needed a plot device that could only work once to win.

Thanos pops on the scene looking like Cable in 1991. Smh. Glad I haven't read a Marvel book in almost 3 years. Horrible writing.

Blue Marvel, Captain Marvel, Spectrum and Black Panther along with Inhumans.

pity normal is never shown to be a tough fight for Thanos. Thanos had a bloody nose from PG Thor that's it, Superman was a knackered mess.

Thanos beat Thor and thing together in his weakest incarnation. And he had Thor beat easily in infinity but was saved by Thanes interference.


Of course he has been.

Superman wasn't even bloody. And funny how you disregard Thor being stated as a tough fight for Thanos but take Superman's word on face value.

Not via strength. In fact they whooped his ass and he had to resort to energy attacks and Thor was conscious after several attacks.

Again not by raw strength. Thanos has never manhandled a top tier like Orion like this.

Where is he stated to be weakened? In fact he prepped for that.

He prepped for guns?
A guy who preps for galactus and owns him in mere moments with his bombs, prepped for guns which can't even vaporize she hulk and war machine?
Seems legit.

And he was stated to be weakened by travelling through some portal.

Superman was barely able to stand after the fight.

Pity Thor on his has not been shown to be actual fight for Thanos as infinity shows.

Haha whooped his ass, they knocked him over that's it. Thor was on his knees about to be finished by Thanos.

He mandated Lord Marvell with ease , and dismisses Hulk and Drax with a simple back hand when he's serious.

I will say that I could've sworn that if/when I ever returned here that some of the Superman phuckery would've been under control. It's seems worse than ever.

I guess questions will be answered soon:

That's what I was wondering.

Yeah looks like him

Also "showcasing some family drama coming from within Thanos’s complicated offsprings." thought thane was the last one?

This is also not his first ongoing:
