Thanos loses this one pretty bad.
This is too much of a handicap match, and pretty unfair.
It's directly in Supermans power source, he's virtually unbeatable in there.

demigawd
Thanos can't speedblitz, can he? What stops a sundipped Superman from punching Thanos a million times in a second before Thanos can react? Thanos was at least somewhat injured by a few shots from Warrior's Madness Thor. Sundipped Superman is probably just as strong. Multiply the damage Thanos took by 10 million in the same span of time...

hahaha...this is fun! I've been livin wrong all these years. I'm gonna argue for Superman more often....

Avalonofthewind
In the sun Supes was doing pretty well against Cythonna, a kryptonian Ice goddess who totally owned him on earth...and this is even before he started "Sundipping" for even more power.

It's an unfair matchup. Supes will exponentially get stronger and invulnerable while fighting.

1. Thanos teleports both of them into a red sun. Proceeds to tear superman's head off.

2. Thanos blows up the sun with cosmic energy. Proceeds to tear superman's head off.

3. Thanos takes every blow superman has until the sun dies a natural death. Proceeds to tear superman's head off.

Superman has nothing in his powerset to harm thanos. If thanos can take full-on attacks from galactus, tyrant, and odin in asgard, superman (sun-dipped or otherwise) is not going to harm him one bit. I don't think he's ever been harmed by physical attacks. No one lower than a cosmic energy wielder/matter manipulator has even been able to touch him. No one, afaik, has ever really ko'd him, other than warlock with the soulgem (which wasn't really a ko). Punches and heat certainly aren't going to do the trick.

On the other hand, I doubt superman even sun-dipped can take a single focused blow/blast from thanos. A guy who can ko surfer with ease, and hurt tyrant has massive power output. The sun may be superman's power source, but thanos is powered by the ambient cosmic energy present throughout the universe. Thanos is ALWAYS, as it were, sun-dipped.

slade10
Oh, and didn't superman lose the fight to cynthonna even in the sun, but end up being saved by lois? in any event, cynthonna was far weaker than any of the skyfather+ entities that thanos fights on a regular basis. i mean, she was trapped by the sun's gravity...

No tech/No prep is what the title says.
Thanos can't teleport without tech. He's been shown floating helplessly in space.
Thanos has never taken a full blast from any of those guys, what he has taken though is impressive.
Supermans power grows exponentially in the sun in ALL aspects.

Thanos isn't winning this one.

Oh, and as for Cythonna. They used kryptonite. That old school kryptonian equalizer.

Thanos blows the sun killing superman, survives the nova then the blackhole afterwards but gets pretty messed up.

then uses his robot/tech post match

But seriously though, this match has the makings of an unfair handicap match.

dvampire
Superman wins, easily too.

slade10
1. Thanos has teleported himself and others without tech. Take a look at the champion vs. thanos thread on this very board.

2. Thanos has fought many beings in the vacuum of space; he is also rated at faster than light speed by the marvel handbook. After losing the IG, you do see him floating in space. If I just lost the power of the universe, I'd probably be moping/weakened too. The fact that I am seen sitting in a chair does not mean I cannot get up from it. It just means I choose not to.

3. It doesn't matter if superman's powers grow. He has nothing in his powerset to harm thanos -- heat and physical blows, for example. Cynthonna was powerful but not even close to skyfather level. . She was trapped by the sun's gravity, for heaven's sake. Even herald level beings (who thanos crushes easily) destroy stars with ease.

And superman LOST to her while sun-dipped, until lois came with kryptonite.

4. Thanos is not Doctor Doom. He uses tech but his powers are not bound to it. He, like a herald, skyfather, or cosmic being, is a cosmic battery. He needs no technology beyond his own body to take someone like superman, sun-dipped or otherwise.

5. Galactus is debatable. But there is zero questoin that tyrant and odin were going all out. (Odin is the weak one of this group, but he was sitting in the source of his power, asgard, and it's debatable how much of a boost this gives him)

Tyrant was injured repeatedly by thanos, and thanos and co were threatening his plan for universal domination. Odin thought thanos and co were threatening thor and asgard. In both instances, multiple heralds were ko'd with ease. Thanos took everything these skyfather+ entities dished out, and dished out some of his own.

6. No one has told a story as to how superman is going to hurt thanos (other than saying he is powerful when sundipped, and citing a storyline where he LOST while sundipped). I've given multiple examples of how thanos could destroy superman, sundipped or otherwise.

7.Superman is extremely powerful. People underrate him because he's an easy target, as the most recognizable name in comicdoom.

But without PIS/CIS, he loses to beings in thanos' league. Thanos fights cosmics and universally powerful entitites, and tosses herald-levels like rag dolls. Superman has little chance here. And it doesn't help get rid of the hate for people to vastly overestimate his capabilities. Can he beat odin, galactus, the living tribunal while sun-dipped as well?

It's virtually impossible for him to destroy himself. It's been stated that complete molecular dispersion is the only way to kill him. ANd i've never even seen him injured seriously, much less his molecules dispersed.

Superman sundipped lost to cynthonna (who was probably < herald level). Even superman prime was still vulnerable to kryptonite. Thanos has no such weaknesses. It's not even clear why he couldn't radiate superman directly with the correct frequency. Thanos presumably has better control of cosmic energy than people who certainly can do such things, e.g. heralds.

In any event, there are many ways thanos could win this battle. Even if the sun made superman completely invulnerable (which is not the case, since superman still got beat up by cynthonna), thanos could just take that power source away. Superman has no such option for taking thanos' power source away, since thanos is powered by ambient cosmic energy.

golem370
Thanos is exceedingly more powerful then Silver Surfer and he could beat this version of Superman.

The Ion
Superman

golem370
Thanos is a Matter Manipulator could he not just turn the Yellow Sun into a Red Sun which Superman could not absorb making him just a ordinary Krytonian?

It's worth noting that that fight occurred after odin literally busted up a team of heralds with a wave of his hand.

And it's probably a LOW showing for thanos -- depending on how powerful you think Odin with Gungnir (which supposedly NEVER fails to slay Odin's enemies... apparently the enchanment doesn't affect thanos) is. Some say odin is omnipotent in asgard, in which case perhaps it's a good showing. Still not as impressive as going toe to toe with tyrant, though.

Superman is in a qualitatitively different power class. Amping his powers is not going to do much for him, until you start talking about thousands of years of energy soak. Even then, the kryptonite weakness is still conspicuous...

who?-kid
Superman is too fast for Thanos. He doesn't use his superspeed that much while fighting, but when he uses it, it's almost impossible to just stand there and take the beating.

Superman wins this. Even under normal conditions, I can see Superman (a Superman who doesn't fight like a retard) hold his own against Thanos.

Yeah I know, blasphemy...

This is more of a handicap match then Ozzy Osbourne versus Marlyn Manson , i mean supes is obviously going down hard......

Well, it's kinda starting from scratch, different storylines, only just told Lois about him, different powers to normal Supes.

Kinda like Ultimates is to 616.

And seeing how Supes has bathed in the sun a coupla times with no harm, it's safe to assume it won't this time either. big grin

brainchild81
I really don't see how Supes can take Thanos out. Thanos wins.

BobbyD
...can't help but think what Supes would be like in a fight that takes place in the Sun, especially against Thanos w/o tech and prep.

At worst, it's a stalemate. But science tells us that our sun has 5 billion years of life left, and conventional wisdom says that Thanos despite his durability can't last 5 billion years against Supes in a fight.

brainchild81
But Thanos can just destroy the sun and then beat Superman like he stole something.

BobbyD
Well, than if true, that probs for Clark. sad

Thanos needed the gems to do that thats why he collected them before his first death! He is nowhere near that level of power alone!!!

Oh, than down with Thanos easily in the sun!...if ^ is true.

demigawd
one million sun-dipped punches in a second! Thanos has never encountered a speed-blitz before! Nobody has said how he could possibly fight back against that kind of assault!

Thanos couldn't conclusively put down WM Thor, and was bloody from only two shots from him. How can he possibly deal with a million hits just as hard or harder PER SECOND from Superman???


All hail the almighty speed-blitz!!!

slade10
It's true that thanos, afaik, has never been shown destroying a star. It is false to say that this is not possible for him, just as it would be false to say that he cannot pour himself a cup of tea (though this also has never been shown). Heralds can destroy stars -- this is essentially the type of work they are designed for -- and thanos' cosmic energy blasts have been shown to be more powerful than theirs.

Any being who can hurt a normal-powered galactus and tyrant with cosmic blasts, who can ko herald-levels with ease, can destroy a star.

Superman and thanos fight in different leagues. Sun-dipping superman does not turn him into a skyfather. He lost to a probably sub-herald enemy while sun-dipped, an enemy who was unable to escape the gravitational pull of the sun (much less destroy it). That does not bode well for him in a fight with someone in thanos' power class.

slade10
And he did not need the gems to destroy stars. He needed the gems to blink out half the sentient life in the universe...

demigawd
Yes, but Superman didn't speed-blitz her, so it's clearly PIS.

Here we turn PIS off. Thanos finds himself punched a million times before he can finish his first attack.

I can't recall the last time thanos fought someone slower than lightspeed. His average enemy is faster than superman.

And he did put down WM Thor. He smashed him into the ground, then encased him in a block of force. This after WM Thor defeated a team of herald-level fighters, along with the power of warlock and strange combined.

But when did any of them actually attempt to speedblitz Thanos? They never use their speed in fights against Thanos. Superman, barring PIS/CIS, would.

Thanos didn't put down Thor. They traded attacks, Thanos said, "**** this", left, brought out a gun and trapped Thor. Neither had the advantage, and Thor doesn't have lightspeed attacks.

Take WM Thor and multiply his speed by a billion and Thanos goes down.

Thanos would be dead long before then. Besides, Superman can escape black holes, and it only took a few seconds in the sun for Superman to exceed Darkseid. By the time Thanos took out the sun, Superman would have already gotten the benefits of the sundip. A few billion lightspeed attacks later...no more Thanos.

Supes didn't speedblitz the ice goddess. And Thanos doesn't have lightspeed attacking power. He'd be able to return a punch, alright, but he'd take about a million punches first in that same time frame. And unless you're saying that Thanos is a million times stronger than Superman, then it's pretty much an open and shut case.

No , but he's way way above on durability. Can he survive a beam of energy from a weapon which always kills it's target , no.

Superman was able to absorb the force of an exploding supernova or galaxy or somesuch. I don't think Thanos packs quite that much power. wink

Ok, yes, if sun-dipped superman can absord the force of exploding galaxies, then, yes thanos (along with anyone this side of spectre) loses.

But I don't think the comics shows this. lol. heck, I don't think superman prime showed that he could absorb the force of exploding galaxies.

Thanos physically attacked a being which usually destroys anything that even comes within a few metres of it that isn't chrome-plated.

He took on (and defeated) a herald level being , dodged said herald (who was moving at full speed) and then knocked out thor and thing for the fun of it.

Thanos also got gutted by Wolverine, knocked down by WM Thor, and unable to put him down after an extended battle, and KO'ed by Magus.

And there's still no proof that Surfer had reached lightspeed when trying to grab the gauntlet. It wasn't stated or suggested in the comic.

Thanos has no track record in reacting to speedblitzes, and no track record in performing speedblitzes or doing anything in superspeed himself, except flying his thanosmobile.

Until he's established any kind of record against people attacking HIM at superspeed, he's as vulnerable to it as any other non-speedster.

Gutted? Wasn't that what Wolverine did to Magneto? Logan never gutted Thanos in any way.

WM Thor? The one that had the Power Gem and stomped the Infinity Watch + Surfer + Strange? I seem to recall Surfer and Pip teleporting that Thor into Thanos' base. Thanos matched that Thor.

As for Magus, when was he K.O.ed by Magus?



Please, he and Warlock were a galaxy away.



Boy, you sure hated speedblitz argument trumping your usual Magneto can multitask and own another character before the character does anything to Maggy. Your schemes are too obvious for one who claims to be board scientist. smokin'

Are you trying to call being hurt by WM Thor PIS? Come on!

Thanos feared for his safety against Champion, who was cracking his forcefield. Thanos was in a panic and only won by manipulating Champion, who is pretty dim witted.

Champion destroyed the planet....something Superman did as well just as easily, just to vent when Luthor got elected president.

Now multiply that kind of power by a million punches per second.

You think Thanos is shrugging that off? No way! Assuming Thanos survives the initial onslaught of the first lightspeed wave of attacks, by the time Thanos lets off his attack, Superman will be a million miles away, then back just in time to less loose with the next wave. And that'll keep up until Thanos is done.

Assuming Thanos survives the initial onslaught of the first lightspeed wave of attacks, by the time Thanos lets off his attack, Superman will be a million miles away, then back just in time to less loose with the next wave. And that'll keep up until Thanos is done.

Superman!!!

Drax smashed a planet twice, once during his fight with Thanos during Thanos' early appearance.

One of their earliest battles. Thanos was clearly and totally beaten. His only victory was a moral one.



So you're saying he reacted to Surfer who had a one galaxy handicap?

Not impressed. Superman won't be a galaxy away. wink

Actually, Magneto didn't lose. Thanks to the thread stipulations, Magneto was able to get his forcefield when the battle started. I'm afraid no such stipulation exists for Thanos. sad

The Ice Goddess is also Kryptonian, so I'm sure she has superspeed too. And Superman has gain more strength since then anyways.

Thanos feared for his safety against Champion, who was cracking his forcefield. Thanos was in a panic and only won by manipulating Champion, who is pretty dim witted.

Champion destroyed the planet....something Superman did as well just as easily, just to vent when Luthor got elected president.

So as it stands...Thanos still hasn't shown the ability to react to or deal with a million punches a second!

I suggest people ignore him. He's purposefully being an irritant and isn't interested in real discussion.

In any event, I think this thread clearly demonstrates superman is losing. I'm a dc guy personally, but superman has no chance to beat skyfather-level beings by himself, sun-dipped or otherwise. He's amped up to the point that he can fight herald levels (if not for the radiation weakness), but not thanos. I said this in another thread, but the appropriate dc analog is probably pre-crisis darkseid.

Thanos isn't skyfather level. Superman has defeated Hearald level beings too. With Superman far superior speed combined with his strength and durability, he'll be able to beat Thanos at his normal levels.

We didn't say Thanos didn't land any shots....he did. And they only pissed Champion off. Thanos hid behind his forcefield and panicked while his forcefield started cracking around him under Champion's blows. I wouldn't exactly call that a combat victory.

Superman is, obviously, Champion's inferior in strength. But he more than makes up for that with a speed advantage several orders of magnitude greater.

Simply put: if Champion is 10 times stronger than Superman (and he's not), Superman just needs to hit at a rate of 10-1 to equalize it. Superman can outhit Champion at a rate of thousands to one.

And ditto with Thanos.

Superman!!!

nope.

here's what actually did



feel free to read that comic again and tell me if that's inaccurate. Throughout the thanos quest, he didn't wanna use unnecessary force but just to get the gems. The quote above is not mine but a synopsis from another site. I have the comics but like everyone else, i'm a lazy bastard.

Well he cracks the Force Field but before he gets threw he jumps up and is going to punch it when Thanos moves out of the way and Champion destroyes the planet or what ever there own.

About 99.44% sure Thanos had the gems in his possession in the scan where Champion busted in and demanded bloody vengeance.



The recap doesn't go into any detail at all. Thanos going into a state of panic as his forcefield started to crack under the force of Champion's blows took place during the "Thanos soon erects a force field around himself. Champion attempts to break it but just gets angrier" part of your synopsis. Thanos actually got lucky because Champion's decision to jump hiiiigh in the air in order to come down and shatter the forcefield is what bought Thanos enough time to get away before Champion landed. Champion himself didn't realize how close he came to breaking the forcefield without resorting to such an extreme attack

That was more of a psychological/existential warping than an actual physical alteration. So it doesn't show anything.

Superman's durability feats are, when measured, actually more impressive than Thanos' durability feats.

Superman's strength feats are likewise more impressive.

And his speed feats go without saying.

Thanos has a broader range of powers, but I'd say that Superman's speed more than compensates.

I've lost fewer boxing matches than Evander Holyfield. I guess that means I'm stronger than him.

Concededly, I've mainly boxed inanimate objects. And Holyfield has mainly fought world champion level professional boxers.

But that's about the power difference between tyrant/galactus/odin and someone like blackrock or cynthonna (who, again, BEAT superman while sundipped -- someone should post scans of this fight).

Superman has nothing in his powerset to harm thanos. If thanos can take full-on attacks from galactus, tyrant, and odin in asgard, superman (sun-dipped or otherwise) is not going to harm him one bit. I don't think he's ever been harmed by physical attacks. No one lower than a cosmic energy wielder/matter manipulator has even been able to touch him. No one, afaik, has ever really ko'd him, other than warlock with the soulgem (which wasn't really a ko). Punches and heat certainly aren't going to do the trick.

On the other hand, I doubt superman even sun-dipped can take a single focused blow/blast from thanos. A guy who can ko surfer with ease, and hurt tyrant has massive power output. The sun may be superman's power source, but thanos is powered by the ambient cosmic energy present throughout the universe. Thanos is ALWAYS, as it were, sun-dipped.

Thanos didnt take full on hits from galactus. Galactus said that he actually needed to expend effort to breach thanos's forcefield. Then galactus crushed thano's little field and the titan begged for galactus to hear him out. Thanos admitted that tyrant would have killed him if they kept going at it, but thanos was smarter and left. All he's got is odin and everyone owns odin.

And, yes, when sun-dipped, superman turns into quite a powerhouse. I imagine he can fight herald-levels when sun-dipped (if they didn't exploit radiation weakness).

But virtually none of the enemies superman faces can destroy stars/planets with a single blow/blast. EVERY enemy that thanos faces has at least that sort of power, including his weakest foes (surfer, etc) whom he slaps away like flies.

Anyone post the scans where superman loses to cynthonna while sun-dipped? That should provide some evidence as to his durability/power in the sun....

He blasted galactus to the ground, and blew off his helmet. Cosmics have trouble doing that against a non-weakened galactus. I doubt galactus was playing nice while his head was being burned by cosmic energy.

And everyone owns odin? Like who? A celestial? And remember this is in Asgard, where odin's power is amplified an untold amount...

He regularly fights and beats enemies with the power gem in physical battles. (champ, drax, wm thor) He went toe to toe with warrior madness thor (and imo, was hurting him). And he hurt tyrant (a near-galactus level power) with a PUNCH.

Superman, on the other hand, lost a physical battle with cynthonna while sun-dipped.

Who's smoking reefer, now?

It's true thanos hasn't lifted things in comics very often. But when you're fighting enemies on skyfather+ level, throwing cars, boulders, or even buildings around isn't going to do much for you.

You're telling me this guy's physical strength is OVERrated? When people think supes even without sun-dipping is stronger than him? Absent wielders of the power gem (which technically should give infinite strength) and cosmics, there might not be ANYONE physically stronger in the marvel universe.

Btw, this is normal strength in all cases (no power gem, cosmic cube, etc), except arguably the fight with tyrant.

The problem with posting a handful of scans is that they don't show everything that happened. Show me the whole "Cynthonna" fight and then I'll judge.

I don't have the scans. Why do you think I've been asking someone else to post them?

IIRC, he loses to her badly, gets sun-dipped, then does a little bit better (but still is losing) until she gets pulled in by the sun's gravity, hit with kryptonite, and falls into the sun. I don't remember the exact details. But it was pretty clear that she wasn't a planet/star destroying sort of threat. It was also pretty sad that she got trapped by the sun's gravity. (though it's true that, as an ice creature, she was probably weakened by the fire)

I dont' think it's necessary in any event. If you know anything about thanos' apperances, and superman's comics, it's abundantly clear that superman is outclassed here, sun-dipped or otherwise. Thanos fights teams more powerful than the entire JLA (e.g. the infinity watch) as a warmup for his real fights -- against guys like tyrant. The above isn't a feat list (these are low-level feats for thanos, other than the tyrant fight) -- it's just an illustration of pure physical strength.
