Power girl, Supergirl, Wonder woman vs Thanos

thanos

Thanos unless he tries to pimp-smack PG's **** in which case his hand will bounce off and smack his own face for the self-KO.

They all end up like princess Leia in Jabba`s palace

I'm not sure if you can teleport out of the Lasso of Truth.

I understant that Thanos is really powerfull but you can not expect him to deal at the same time with the three most powerfull heroines of dc universe ermm
(so team win)

But he can.

Thanos wins, though I'm unsure if he has any defense against the lasso.

Even Ghost Riders penance stare would be useless on Power Girl he couldn't concentrate on the eyes
EDIT: Big t!ts = Super Power

Thanos gets distracted.

It worked on Darkseid in FC, it should work on Thanos.

Three most powerful? I don't see Barda anywhere!



Hm, how many top-tiers does it normally take to handle Thanos?

No amount of top tiers can defeat Thanos of Titan! He can create a hundred forceblocks every second and forceblocks are auto-hits that can't be broken ever!

Serious answer: I'd say with PIS/CIS on a single top tier could take him down and PIS/CIS off it depends on the top tiers in question but I'd say three to five.

Honestly, the team does have a minimal shot just because of the lasso unless Thanos has some weird defense against it.

The lasso isn't a be all end all weapon that some might think. It's been resisted before. Plus with Thanos' shields it's pointless.

Any specific examples you're thinking of? And I agree it's a longshot, but it's their best bet for even 1 win against him. Does Thanos typically have his shields up through out the entire match?

The lasso can be pulled
Genocide did it and made WW lose her balance.

The lasso also had Ares at its mercy. It doesn't help Genocide is a flawed genetic copy of Diana to begin with not to mention the lasso's powers weren't activated at the time. As I said, it's a not sure thing, but it is their best option.

It's been a while but if memory serves correctly, the Marvels were shown to resist the lasso's power during the All-Star Squadron and Crisis on the Infinite Earths arcs. There was also the War of the Gods story line when getting the lasso around Billy caused so much of a disturbance Diana could not hold on. Of course it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that's what happened. There have been other instances. I know that, but I can't remember any off the top of my head, because frankly, I never actually cared about Diana too much. The only reasons the Marvel instances came to mind is because of the recent New Men portrayals in "Justice League: A Crisis on Two Earth's" movie where they had an interesting take on the Marvel's.

The real question here is Thanos' giant hands vs. Power Girl's huge boobs. Which is bigger?

Hm. Thanos is one of those rare beings outside the jurisdiction of Lord Chaos and Master Order. Along with Warlock. I think because he is/was the Avatar of Death, while Warlock was the Avatar of Life. Thus representing concepts greater than anything LC and MO can govern. I don't know how that works against the lasso, but it stands to reason that he wouldn't fall under the power of something governed by the goddess of truth.

I'd say he one-shots Supergirl. I was going to say he one-shots PG, too, but....she's got pretty nice durability feats. I was kind of impressed with the beating she took at the hands of Kal-L.

All Pre-Crisis references to the lasso can be largely ignored, as it really was just a magical device back then, and was thwarted on a number of occasions -- in the Post-Crisis timelines, it is a powerful artifact/extension of the very embodiment of universal truth. (BTW - even during Crisis, the lasso worked against the Marvels -- Diana had Mary bound and while she was resisting, she couldn't get free and would have been eventually overwhelmed, but was freed via outside assistance/WW getting ganked from behind by Junior, and Diana was still up and fighting in the next panel). All instances of the lasso being "worked around" in the modern era stem from the nature of truth, itself, and how sometimes it doesn't always work in Diana's favor (i.e. writer caveat concerning the metaphysics of the situation involved); while it might work against Thanos, as it did with Darkseid, I could also see Diana gaining insight into Thanos and, after the lasso releases him, she realizes that she (and the girls) aren't *meant* to stop him in a given scenario, akin to when she tried to stop Bizarro in the (non-canon) Trinity story years ago -- the lasso "broke" as the Cosmic Truth was that Bizarro was an inherent force of chaos, and she wasn't supposed to be stopping him. Similarly, when she first lassoed Ares in WW#6 (2nd Series), he was rendered powerless and forced to see the future consequences of his actions; afterwards, however, the lasso released him, as his being the embodiement of war meant that it was the utter truth of his nature to be the way he was, and therefore the lasso did not *prevent* him from taking action, but did sufficiently awaken his awareness to the point that he withheld destroying the world. If applied to Thanos in a similar vein, Thanos may "break free", but be taken aback by the "truth" that, while he is a powerful being, and hell-bent on universal control, he will never actually achieve his goal, as he will fall short time and time again, a victim of his own flaws and desires. A narrative solution, and not "forum-friendly", but that would likely be the only way the ladies could be assured of any wins, in this context (though the three go down fighting).

Thanos 7-8/10, with Supergirl going down first, Diana lasting the longest thanks to the Aegis Bracers, and Karen doing the most relative damage for the team against Thanos.

Okay, I just skimmed through the wall of text, and basically what you're saying is I should ignore any of the scenarios from around the Crisis era, and the three somehow win because Thanos breaks down after seeing the "truth". You do know who Thanos is right? And Universal control is no longer his goal. And he could achieve it if he wanted to as he has.

I see Karen hurting her own fists before she manages to do any actual damage to Thanos.

The lasso also failed to stop Doomsday in Doomsday Wars. And Brainiac was inhabiting his mind so he wasn't some mindless animal.

Wow.

You *totally* missed the underlying points I put forth, with comparative instances between similar characters/situations, simply because reading a thought-out paragraph was too much for you... Using Darkseid/Ares situations to compare to Thanos' own history -- I am not saying that is the definitive situation, by any means. It was an *example*, dude...

And yes, I am very much aware of who Thanos is as a character -- I was just using the above instances to illustrate how the ladies might make a win or two of the situation. What part of my saying Thanos would win like 8/10 didn't you get?

And I don't make any apologies for my posts -- plenty of people around here have posted much longer on other topics, and not made nearly as much sense as I have. I at no point said the ladies would take any major wins -- merely demonstrated how they *plausably* could (and you not seeing how that is possible shows how *you* don't know enough about the characters involved). In a number of my other posts, I say "X" will win a majority, but then go on to show how the lesser side might eke out wins, both to be balanced, and to better illustrate how the situation could play out. Don't have to do that for Thanos' side, 'cus he'll just Batkick the hell out of them for an easy majority - no explanation on that needed...

The lasso needs physical contact doesn't it?

Force shields take care of that. Could they pound through it before he puts them down? Could he teleport the lasso away?

I'm uh sorry?

I didn't think you'd take the wall of text comment so seriously.

When did I say I had any problem with the majority you gave to Thanos?

I know enough about these characters thank you very much.

The context of both those situations is obviously lost on you...

Metaphysically, Genocide *is* Wonder Woman, in case you weren't aware of that; that's why she could wield the lasso, and has had lingering influence on it ever since. Part of her *is* a part of Diana.

As mentioned before, certain writers utilize various levels of PIS when deciding what is the "metaphysical truth" of a situation, and how the lasso will respond to it, as it has bound and overcome gods as well as been thwarted by mortal men; it's called Writing a Story and providing a Plot. The Queen of Fables is an extremely powerful sorceress, and in the context of that story had changed the "truth" of the setting, thereby making things problematic for Diana. And both characters were written by Gail Simone, hence why they circumstantially have that particular style of feat in common. And while I am not a Gail Simone fan (I can take her or leave her), I am confident that she would consider your siting those instances as taking things out of context...

And I have never said it was impossible; alot of WW fanbois/grlz assume that the lasso is an insta-win against the likes of Thanos, or Thor, or Aunt May armed with salad tongs, or other similarly powerful beings. It *can* make for the win, but that doesn't mean that it always *will*. *You* were the one who was dismissive, not me. And you were the one who took two examples out of context to create a low-ball bias against the lasso working -- the examples I gave in my post further up both demonstrates how the lasso might work to subdue Thanos, as well as how it might *not*, and I made sure my examples were more in sync with the situation presented...

In your opinion the girls might win because of some off hand chance that Thanos will see the truth, and break down because he'd realize despite the fact he strives for Universal control he cannot achieve or something similar. shocklaugh

And I pointed out, that 1) Thanos has achieved Universal control and probably could again, 2) Universal control is not his goal. At least last time I checked and 3) The lasso working is not a sure thing since it has been resisted before and it requires physical contact as far as I know.

Thanos' classic goal was to kill existence. But he did have moments of desiring omnipotence and, in all fairness, he only achieves it when the powers that be allow it. TOAA knew the experience with THOTU would change his perspective and make him first abandon his obssession with destroying the universe and then do the right thing for the common good of reality, ultimately giving up the power. So his general point about an epiphany catalized by the lasso is valid, even if not for the reasons he posted. He did abandon his original nihilism and became more interested in shaking things up then in either controlling or destroying them.

Still they have no chance in hell because the lasso requires physical contact and they wont break through the shields in time.

I'm talking about the Infinity Gauntlet. That was pretty much all Thanos as he was the one who went on a quest to defeat the Elders and gain their gems as I recall.

Thanos the End, was basically the TOAA manipulating him into gaining the ultimate power and solving the problem in the Universe, but he still had to do the hard work himself did he not?

He did do the hard work both times, but after the TOAA was revealed we can all assume that nothing happens without his permission, so the IG drama also happened because he allowed it. Thanos can become omnipotent, provided it suits cosmic consonance. He probably understands this by now.

Everything that happens in comics, is because the higher powers allow it.

Superman was only able to lift a mountain because, the Presence allowed it. Thor was only able to defeat Galactus because TOAA allowed it.

Does that somehow diminish the feats as it was them who did the hard work and accomplished the feats?

I mean, what exactly is your point here?

Thanos should not be given the credit he is due because the TOAA did not interfere?

I think with the HOTU it bears thinking that the ONLY way Thanos would be able to attain true Omnipotence is if the Omnipotent/Omniscient/Omnipresent (TOAA) allowed it to happen. Remember the HOTU is said to be TOAA's power made manifest and TOAA used this as a means to manipulate Thanos into removing himself. Its like a handgun you own that's locked in a safe that you unlock knowing that guy who ****s everything up is going to find it and use it to kill himself. Or maybe that's a terrible analogy.

Surely you have to agree though that unless TOAA was certain Thanos wouldn't be able to escape his plan he wouldn't have ever given him Omnipotence correct?

Uatu has witnessed many universes and galaxies fall though. Although I'm sure he (TOAA) exists above all of them. Though the existence of a multiverse means that the 616 universe is but a speck in the sand. But I agree though Thanos with the Guantlet did defy the High Gods and it was destiny that he shed it.

He did do the hard work both times, but after the TOAA was revealed we can all assume that nothing happens without his permission, so the IG drama also happened because he allowed it. Thanos can become omnipotent, provided it suits cosmic consonance. He probably understands this by now.

Are we forgetting that he was specifically picked because of his will and he could actually handle the naked power of THOTI?

THOTI? sorry I'm learning

He was chosen because he was the right one for the task yes. My point is that his only hope for omnipotence is to serve cosmic consonance and the truly omnipotent's wishes. In the end, he is the master of nothing.

Bullshit. If the TOAA wanted Rhino could have gotten the HOTU if there was a purpose to it. The act of subjugating omnipotent power would be an impossible feat for any being who's not already omnipotent so the logical assumption is that Thanos got it because TOAA let him.

It was all part of TOAA plan. At least that what I think

Everything that happens in comics, is because the higher powers allow it.

Superman was only able to lift a mountain because, the Presence allowed it. Thor was only able to defeat Galactus because TOAA allowed it.

Does that somehow diminish the feats as it was them who did the hard work and accomplished the feats?

I mean, what exactly is your point here?

Perhaps I did not express myself correctly. Obviously all that happens is marvel or dcu is allowed by the presence or toaa.

However, becoming omnipotent has different implications than lifting a mountain or going to the bathroom. All these thing shappen because TOAA alows it, but omnipotence would, at first glance, implie in subverting the cosmos to his will and doing whatever the hell he wants with it regardless of anything else. My point is that he can never truly do this, he can never become truly omnipotent or usurp the place of TOAA. He can only take the power to hold the 'appearance' of true omnipotence in as much as TOAA lets and makes him do it. He can only serve the real omnipotent and cosmic consonance. Therefore, if he dreamt of truly transcending and becoming absolute, that is impossible for him.

He is still due credit for being the right man for the job and getting it done. But to say that he became omnipotent because he wanted to and had the mad skills to pull it off hides the fact that he did it because cosmic consonance demanded it and that he can never truly achieve absolute power over the universe. His power will always be subjected to TOAA.

Same goes for IG if he ever truly menaced the omniverse he would never have taken the power. he was never absolute master of anything.

Yes he could, but thanos happened to be the right man for that particular job. Others might have been just as suited though.

@rage

just reread the posts and I see where there might have been a misscommunication. Thanos grabbing the IG is a massive feat for him and demanded a lot of effort and merit on his part. It simply does not entail he can ever be really omnipotent

scans saying this bullshit you're spouting. What you are saying goes against on panel proof. Are you denying that it was SPECIFICALLY stated that Thanos was choosen because of his will and that he could handle the naked power of the heart? Plus IIRC it was also stated he had experience with omnipotence before and thus could hangle it (IG)Was it not specifically stated he was choosen because of his will... while all you're spouting is conjecture?

Not really. It was stated in the arc that that's why TOAA chose Thanos. Because he could handle the power. Because he had experience with omnipotence before. In all the multiverse, there was no better candidate.

This is a none fight, thanos Stomps and easily.

Power Girl, and to a much smaller extent Supergirl, distract Thanos while WW slips the lasso around him.

Seriously though, Thanos gets the majority, but WW has the tools to give the team one or two.

Between her super speed, aegis bracelets, telepathic immunity, and her lasso, she's one of the few characters who could even solo Thanos, and possibly win.

WW isn't immune to TP, just quite resistant. But Thanos has mindraped even very powerful telepaths so he may have something there.

But I've always thought that the utterly ridiculous superspeed feats of many DC characters (Supes, CM, BA, MM, SG, PG, WW, Flashes, etc) could give Thanos problems even fighting them. I mean those guys have run around the earth in less time than the blink of Thanos' eye.

Thanos has a new harem.

Supergirl along with Power girl and Superman were giving Super Boy Prime a nice good long fight. Exchanging out Superman for the weaker, but more skilled and better equipped Wonder Woman, and Superboy Prime for the Weaker but more Versatile Thanos, has me to believe this would yield the same kind of Results. A long protracted Battle with Thanos pulling a slight majority based upon Supergirl doing something stupid, or getting turned into Kryptonite and thus weakening PG. The girls will pull 4 out of 10 victories because they are all far faster and more mobile than Thanos and he would have 3 super zip zapping targets all with Mid or High level Strength and Durability. And They have Wonder Woman's Lasso, Magic lightning attacks, shields, and tiara.

I reckon the DC girls take this.

The thing is that force fields and omnidirectional blasts that blanket the whole field pretty much cover their speed edge. He's also got forceblock, telepathy and other crap. They can get a blitz in before he reacts, but he is rather tough to put down.

Thanos ain't getting out of the lasso.

Getting it on him is the trick, but for the sake of argument if he simply allowed WW to put it on him, he wouldn't be able to get it off.

I can't see them beating him down. Although WW's shield can probably cover anything Thanos can dish out, since it deflected the power of an entire pantheon once, among other showings...

It comes down to the lasso, and whether they're able to get it on the Titan before he eventually beats them down.

He rarely uses omnidirectional blasts or force blocks or telepathy. Telepathy would require some kind of concentration as they all have good TP resistance. I doubt his blast are any stronger than Superboy Prime's fist or Heat Vision and even he couldn't one shot any of these three. Thanos would win a slim majority if he catches one of the slipping, which I think woudl be Supergirl. She's not as good a fighter as the other two. Nor is she as tuff or strong. She's slightly behind them. But I have no doubt, that any of them can hurt Thanos since they all have hurt being stronger and tougher than he. Plus Wonder Woman's weapons and magical blast have put down tougher guys than Thanos.

And like I said, the Aegis Bracelets create a force field that basically protect WW completely. They should even stop an omni directional attack.

Actually it wouldn't surprise me at all if Thanos was immune to the lasso, because that's just the kind of character he is - he has stood up to Skyfather level attacks for at least a while, he has been shown to survive reality warping due to his unusual nature, been resistant to top telepaths and magical attacks, and at times has appeared to be outside the universal rules of chaos and order. And people have resisted the lasso in the past so it wouldn't be a first even without all that. Some of what Thanos does is just Starlin being Starlin and PIS, but if he was writing it nothing would surprise me.

But I still think that the characters' speed and power levels makes it hard for Thanos to take the win even if he is not losing.

He uses those powers as the need arises or as it serves the plot, same as every other character, but he does it often enough to warrant their use in forum fights with PIS off. TP might requie concentration sure, but he can do it from behind forcefields and I don't see them pounding through his shields in able time. He has defeated very powerfull telepaths and PG and SG TP defenses aren't on WW's level. He'll KO them first.

I never said he would one-shot them, but he'll just keep blasting away. An while WW's Aegis shield is impresive, that'll just prolongue the fight into an atriction contest that he'll win.

SG might be less competent, but I don't think it'll be a blunder from her that'll give thanos the edge. Even at their best I don't think they can take him down if he is at his best. It takes more than 3 midheralds to put down an upper trans level like him.
