Thanos w. Power Stone runs a Gauntlet

- Thanos has the IG with the Power Stone only, as well as his double-edged sword and armor.
- Thanos is fully rested and healed at the start of each round.
- Rounds are in no particular order, so he advances regardless of whether he wins or loses. It's more to see who he can and cannot beat under these circumstances.
- Combatants retain all knowledge from previous encounters from the films, including Avengers: Endgame, and have basic knowledge on what their opponent is currently armed with.

Round 1:

Loki with the Mind Scepter and Casket of Ancient Winters.

Round 2:

Endgame Dr Strange.

Round 3:

Endgame Scarlet Witch.

Round 4:

Endgame Captain Marvel.

Round 5:

IW Thor w. Stormbreaker.

Pretty sure he can clear with power stone. That stone was supposedly powerful enough to destroy a whole planet. Don't see any of his opponents able to top that.

Although I guess Strange and Thor could always go for BFR.

The Power Stone might be capable of that at its full strength, but Thanos has never used it on that level. Closest he came was the moon surface feat. In actual combat, the blasts could be blocked by IM's shields, the Mirror Dimension etc. And also not much point blowing up the battlefield if you're on it.

Also, remember, they all retain knowledge from previous encounters. So, for example, they know what the Power Stone can do and that Thanos needs to close his fist, Thanos remembers what happened the last time he tried going melee against Wanda, what some of the tricks are that Strange has up his sleeve, Carol remembers getting Power Stone punched etc. So, they are all going into these fights with those previous experiences to draw from. Which also leaves the door open for someone like Loki. After all, remember who was the one who actually killed Kurse. And yeah, he used Thor as a distraction. But it's not like he can't do similar with illusions on his own.

Strange has the highest win probability here.

The rest would be defeated eventually.

Strange had a good chance of taking Thanos out and Witch had him beat dead to rights so he doesn't make it past those two

Well he didn't have the power stone with her but I'm not sure if that would've made a difference

Nah, Strange had a good run at containing Thanos but none of his attacks had enough oomph to take Thanos out. As for Wanda, she managed to do that because Thanos had no long distance attacks which is no longer the case since he has the powerstone.

I still maintain my stance that Strange and Thor stand the best chance to win via BFR. Thor has a puncher's chance at landing a crippling shot with SB. But I still think Thanos clears.

Depends on how he uses it. When Wanda raised him in the air in Endgame, she was able to keep him from even bending his limbs/digits while stripping off pieces of armor. So, in theory, she could do the same again and strip off the gauntlet. However, that's assuming Thanos doesn't fire off any ranged attacks with it first. Because Wanda's defense isn't as good as her offense and we have yet to see her shields tank something that powerful.

Carol still loses though, she's too slow, She saw Thanos remove the power stone and reacted with facial expression but still got hit..
Thor will still beat him IMO.
Strange can too.
Scarlet witch might, her offensive is superior but her defence is not so good ,like the Thanos ship incident, even though she put up a shield to block it ,it still threw her off balance.
