Thor, Black Bolt, Dr. Strange, Quasar, Hulk, Cable, Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Thing, Namor.

Too bad, because he could give Thanos a run for his money.

Those were all the sprites I could find.

hmm do they have to be from marvel?

it doesn't matter i wanted a list of people (combined) that can beat thanos.

So i guess the list above can all beat thanos?

or are they just a list (they look like they can take thanos)

you can add Dc too if you want but earth hero or people that live in earth like superman , MM etc

Dr. Doom, Lobo, Hulk.

If we count DC too.

And if thanos has ever had any emotion or caused any emotional pain to someone else, Ghost-rider takes the cake easily.

Seeing as the guy wiped out half of the universe, he's probably caused a bit of emitional response.

I think you could compile ten people that could best Thanos in a direct, unplanned fight.

If it doesn't need to be strictly 'heroes', Thor, Hulk, Doom, Magneto, Strange, Invisible Woman would be a good core. Maybe some sort of leader figure, few others of good power levels and abilities.

THey have to be from earth. And cable didnt really want to kill surfer. He almost wanted to be defeated.

Magneto
Apocalypse
Hulk
Dr. Strange
Human Torch
Juggernaut
Invisible Woman
Professor X

that's 8 and I doubt anymore would be needed. this is against just Thanos as is - no "special cosmic goodies".

if I had to add another 2 I'd add......

Ghostrider, although I doubt Thanos allows himself to feel anything that Ghostrider could use against him

Cap to cheerlead

of course, that is marvel only. If i included DC, most of the list would be different.

it doesnt matter who they are , how strong they are or where thier from. if they dont have energy or magic weilding powers they dont stand a chance, so lets just refine our respective lists and work from there.

maby we should start by listing all the ppl thanos has handed some from of thier own ass to:
thor
hulk
thing
ego
dr.doom
iron man
his just as powerful as he is, clones
drax
quasar
made doc strange look foolish and serious;y kept at bay


i cant think of anyone else off the top but you get the idea

ya am looking for a list that can beat Thanos not only fight him From earth. dc , and marvel

And no Cosmic beings like surfer (even if they are close to it)

Hulk, Doom, Ghost Rider, Invisible Woman, Dr.Strange, Nate Grey, Thor.

That's as a team. Not singular.

This hasn't happened yet

this was to be a team effort by the group against Thanos - no?

YES

cool - then I stand by my original list

so i take it none has read the infinty guantlet where even though thanos was temporarily relieved of the IG he still back handed both drax and hulk with the same pimp slap and said something to the effect of "away from me you brutes"

also when doom was trying to seize the opportunity to wrench the ig for himself thanos blasted the shit outta him(even though to his credit his shield stood up to it)

on another note i beleive i was confusing quasar with captain marvel. the main point i was trying to stress is that it would take a special group of ppl to overcome thanos preferably ones who weild energy. i know everyone would just love to fling the likes of hulk, thing, juggy and other bruisers just from a sheer brute strentgh pov but that doesnt mean jack to thanos.

energy and matter manipulation are the only things that have ever given him a run for his money

I have tried to include all the influences - power - energy - magik and mental.

If I recall (and I might be mistaken) wasn't Thanos in a "blind spot" of the IG but still reeling with extra power and the "blind spot" disappeared rather immeadiatley in the battle? This is a question - not a debate as it's been awhile since reading the IG.

ok here my list:
1) Magneto
2) Superman
3) Dr. Strange
4) Prof X
5) Hulk
6) Mr.Fantasitc
7) Thor
8) Iron man

i get supes and magento, even reed, but thanos is impervious to mind attacks so xavier is out. he whomped strange, hulk, iron man, and thor in IG (without the IG mind you)so they are meaningless as well. however i wouuld retain strange as the wild card.

love it or hate it but here is my list: (and im just sticking with marvel)

Magneto
strange
gambit
reed
savage hulk(very important to make that distinction)
jean grey or sue richards--forcefields they create could come in handy(not phoenix, for that wouldnt be fair)
colossus(or anyother class 90 or better bruiser to run the blitz)

i think this should pretty much do the trick.

why is gambit there you just like him or is this a strategy
