Doctor Manhattan vs Thanos W/IG

Started by Senor Cage3 pages

Perhaps, perhaps. But so far, Mxy said he was scared of him and he couldn't re-write what he did.

All characters are subject to the whims of different writers unfortunately.

This is where pis/cis and inconsistencies develop.

Maybe, but Mxy stated this more than once, across different issues. It wasn't just a one time thing.

He said it one. You have one statement to back up that Dr.M>Mxy.
You don't apply that same logic to Oz because it's more clear that Mxy>Oz.

Ill wait to see how this develops.

Shouldn't Thanos in the home dimension be infinitely beyond Dr. Manhattan? I've caught up on Doomsday Clock, but I don't know how this is any fight yet, even with him warping reality by making alterations throughout time. The fight with the heroes was nothing impressive at all at this level.

If he thought Firestorm and Captain Atom were annoying.....he's getting turned into a blue dildo with a snap.

Nah

What issue was this in? A tie-in?

How is Dr. Manhattan even remotely comparable to Mxy? From what I can tell, he's warping reality by making alterations. Mxy could take all of reality, rip into pieces, and put it back together again differently.

I call typical, new comic, bullshit on this. Mxy is an annoying measuring stick. He's supposed to be the strongest in DC by feats, especially WF is "technically" canon, but he's more than once been one-upped or beaten by a new flavour to show how competent the new character is, so it constantly shifts the scales.

Galan already made a detailed post about it, IIRC. Mxy mentioned it at least twice, across a few issues. I don't think he was lying about it, either.

All three mentions are here.

Thank you for the link.

In the first post with Superman and Oz (For the record, that was a surprising low-tier Mxy. Lowest since the Zatarra and Superman-Prime showing?)?

That's all very vague and inconclusive.

The being Mxy is referring to is vague, but we all know who screwed with continuity, thanks to Doomsday Clock.

I personally dislike the statements of Manhattan being above Mxy.

We have not seen the limit of Manhattan. But so far Manhattan has not done anything that compares to Mxy's best feats.

I really wish to be proven wrong after Doomsday Clock is over. Although I highly doubt it

Manhattan destroys.

Low showings? Not at all.

In the first scan(with Superman), Mxy was actually written to a really high level. He casually created the 'Infinite Planet' -- basically his own 5D variation of the Daily Planet, which housed an infinite number of timelines/life traps *just* to try and trap Superman and Lois.

In the second scan(with Oz), a trans-dimensional booby trap was placed, so when Mxy 'ported to earth to phuck with Superman, he was instantly transported to that featureless 'Negative Space' you see he and Oz talking in. That realm was supposed to nullify ALL of Mxy's powers and keep him trapped there... But as shown a few pages later: once Mxy had his fill of that realm, he was able to use his power to 'port out of it unaided.

For all his power, Doctor Manhattan is slow on the uptake, not really a fighter, and easily confused/distracted by the novel or the unexpected. Even with the less absolutely powerful presentations of the Gauntlet, Thanos would wreck Osterman by virtue of being someone for whom battling mighty foes is as natural as breathing. In particular, Thanos excels at presenting out-of-context problems to his enemies, which is exactly how you'd want to set up Manhattan for a fall.

Thanos could of course have a self-sabotage flare-up, but if his own intermittant CIS doesn't rear its head, he should be able to exploit's Jon's more or less character-defining CIS.

Considering the fact Manhattan oversees DC metaverse, he is not bound by setting which can change.
Thanos has no chance because he is still boun by settings.

Sigh, anyone with classic IG stomps. Not in question at all

Thanos doesn't really have a chance against a Metaversal being, whom Mxy is afraid of.

What exactly do you consider a meteversal being? And what has he done to show this? Feats/hype whatever will do

And mxy varies so much that honestly isnt all that impressive

Mxy doesn't vary at all. Snyder is showing a weakened Mxy erasing ALL of creation. Mxy was unable to undo Manhattan's alterations to the greater Meta/Megaverse. Thanos simply doesn't have access to such power.
