Adam Warlock
Drax
Gamora
Phyla-vell
Starlord
Rocket Racoon

vs

Thanos

Two minutes of planning for team.

providing thanos actually gets to fight drax,he would wreck the team.

GOTG

Thanos wins

4 of the team prolly get one shotted,current warlock has no feats to suggest he's anywhere near thanos's lvl,he struggled with the phalanx and the church cardinals.apart from drax being used a plot device in annihilation,thanos would put him down like the many times he has in the past.

Thanos.

GotG.

Drax was simply a plot device. He was designed to be Thanos' kryptonite

Barring that, Thanos would stomp.

Knowing Thanos, if he came back, he would find away to make sure, Drax never gets the chance ever again.

Yeah because Thanos is going to be able to give every member of GotG his full attention.

Warlock, Quasar, Gamora, Starlord and Thanos' own personal plot device and you question why I would pick GotG?

quasar got one shotted by a weakend annihilus whilst she had the q bands,her,starlord,racoon would get stomped easily.

thanos has already killed gamora once when he was trying and not prating about sparring.

so drax gets the jump on thanos 1 time whilst he distracted with he back turned and you disregard all the times thanos has chumped him with ease

Starlord, Quasar, Gamora are nothing compared to Thanos and current Adam Warlock doesn't exactly have any showings to say he can match or stand a chance against someone like Thanos.

There are ways to get past Drax (Unless he is immune to everything Thanos) and wasn't that a one time deal that Drax did? I should go and re-read the dialogue....

drax is 'dead'

thanos is 'dead'

GOTG win by default

I think it really comes down to how powerful the current Adam Warlock is.

So far it seems apparent that he himself hasn't really grasped the fullness of his new powers. I get the feeling he could be more powerful than any previous incarnation (barring, of course, when he was armed with a cube or the Gauntlet), but, as the High Evolutionary himself pointed out, he was woken too early.

As it is, Thanos should win this.

Thanos knew Drax was coming for him LONG before Drax killed him in Annhilation, yet he was powerless to stop him. Destiny is destiny my friend.

thanos crushes all.

Thanos didn't do jack to destroy the Destroyer because he saw Death that was waiting for him.

like i said before, so are you just gonna ignore previous encounters between thanos and drax then and only use this one.

This is a different Drax, come on man. Previous Drax was a baffoon.

the other drax versions were by far stronger and had greater durability,to name few attributes

Thanos.

Thanos would probably take Drax out first if he actually wanted to win, or he'd take out a bunch at the same time.

Current Warlock resisted a super-nova with his shield, current Drax has penetrated Thanos's shields with his bare hands, Gamora still has the godslayer which can deal some damage and they have time to plan an strategy.

Thanos is not naked, but this guys could cook something up.

Seconded.

drax is anti thanos venom basically. gamorra's god killer blade had thanos scared and can kill him, new warlock survived a supernova and gathered the souls of the entire kree space with his powers, phyla with her quantum bands banished the phalanx by chanelling the life force of galaxies, groot=super strengh, starlord is a masterful leader, mantis is a very gifted psychic, and racoon can blast the hell out of thanos.

a HUGE no no. no way in HELL thanos is surviving against em.

a HUGE no no. no way in HELL thanos is surviving against em. drax and phyla vell just got killed by mentor via a omni blast,something thanos can do easily and he is by far more powerful than his father.

mantis mentaly wouldnt be able to even effect thanos,moondragon couldnt see into his mind with the mind gem.

starlord dies almost instantly

raccons blasts wont do shit against thanos,has he has taken far worse,via energy blast,pistol blasts

groots strength...wow,its not like thanos hasnt faced stronge guys before

drax would get smashed as per normal(not including plot device annihilation)

gamora can easily be mind f*cked,blasted,imprisoned

current warlock is pretty much a unknown,despite surviving a supernova,he struggled in combat agianst phalanx drones and cardinals of the church

They got cheap shotted, and Phyla raised no shield. She has transluminal speeds and her shields can cover long areas and resist the energy of the sun, she is not the chump people make her up to be.

Thanos pays any attention to Starlord and opens up for an attack. He won't even notice when Starlord or Rocket Raccoon end up surprising him with a godslayer in the back.

Drax just needs one hit and with his aura he got past Thanos shields. That's right, the shields that held freaking Galactus and Omega.


Originally posted by Nihilist

Bah, she is more than enough to hurt Thanos physically, she is a very dangerous character on her own. If at any moment he pays too much attention to her, Drax, Phyla and Warlock could get in. Thanos is good, but he's not everywhere.

Against the Phallanx his powers were coming and going, and those Cardinals are uber, they can do anything they believe they can do, among those things hanging with Gamora physically and actually hurting Warlock (when the Guardians found him they were actually surprised there was a blade capable of hurting him). Considering that its their only showing I don't see why they should be considered a low showing. He was beaten by a cheap shot too.

Since he hasn't shown any problems with his current powers since Conquest I don't see why we should think he is going to be any lower than his previous incarnations (High Evolutionary implied he is actually stronger)

Thanos was only using his energy shields there. Against Galactus and Omega, he was using his tech's shielding.

Also, there was something really strange about that entire incident. I mean, Mistress Death showed up prior to Drax doing anything, and Thanos was aware of this. Like it was pre-destined. Yet when Drax was intelligent in his first incarnation, he was nothing to a pre-resurrection Thanos. And even dumb Drax and Drax with the Power Gem were nothing to Thanos. That this version of Drax was able to kill him, to me, was a one-time, fated incident, based on Thanos not even bothering to fight back nor taking his threat seriously.

Thanos wouldn't underestimate Drax a second time.

As "current" as in more recent Thanos has not shown any shielding apart his own. I'm speculating, the point that Drax is very dangerous to Thanos stands.

He certainly wouldn't turn his back to Drax, but luckily he is not alone. Its true that Thanos has never been defeated just like that, but until there is any proof, we cannot suppose that the aura was not Drax's doing. After all, his whole determination to beat Thanos was uncanny, and its a new incarnation. Hopefully we will get more answers soon.

An omnidirectional blast like the one he let out at Kyln would drop or kill Starlord, RR, and Gamora, and Drax at the same time. Warlock & Phyla together couldn't take down Thanos.

Shields, teleporting or good old energy absorbing (the Quantum Bands). They get to make an strategy to fight Thanos, with Warlock and RR they should've able to come up with something.

Not saying Guardians win, but I think that Warlock, Drax and Gamora have relatively good records against Thanos, and Phyla is there to help too.

Why do people say that? Warlock was owned easily every single time. Drax has lost every single time with the exception of Annihilation. And Gamora only sparred with him.

Gamora got killed by him, and then sparred with him later.

All he's got to do is spread out his blasts a little. He's also shown attacks that come out of his body that seemed to be homing, and were able to destroy Punishers. Last he was shown in combat, he was able to fire pretty wide blasts that also paralyzed as a side effect.
They do... not win?

Warlock uses soul suck and puts Thanos in the Quantum Bands.

Now that's a crazy strategy!

He sent his own soul into the Quantum Bands, for instance, that and all his historical past with power over souls.

She still has come a long way since that battle and has harnessed a lot of power, using the very first time she had the QBs in hand as a low showing is not cool.

We know he has new powers, but since Conquest after the moment where Warlock declared he realized the use of his new powers there hasn't been any implication of weakness or whatsoever or lack of power compared to earlier incarnations. Its stated he has new powers, but not that he lost his old ones.

Originally posted by Bentley

No, man. I don't know where you get that Warlock was ever any kind of match in battle with Thanos. Thanos respects Warlock's intelligence and cunning. That's all.

And his current incarnation doesn't show a lot of that...

It was a crazy strategy anyways. Warlock said the QB were a lot like the soul gem and he pulled souls on it. awesr

The soul suck hype should be probably brought to Digi, who is savvy in Warlock.

Thanos has the advantage as he is more powerful, but team has the chance of being characters with potential to kill Thanos. Godslayer, soul suck (in the Quantum bands?), Drax. Given the right circumstances they have the potential to do some damage.

I mean, you can make a team with stronger characters which are much more likely to fail than this one. This team is as anti-Thanos as they get -it kind of proves that Thanos has not really any real competitor in Marvel-.

Warlock stated that the QB were similar to the Soul Gem, and then he used it to store souls (including his) and use them as energy. It was Warlock who channeled the souls into the Quantum Bands, so I wouldn't be surprised if Wendell never pulled that off.

Wendall has actually drained Warlock's soul gem while they were battling during Infinity War.

Top tier shiite right there.
