Better Durability: Superboy Prime of Thanos?

Two characters in the same weight class.

Prime tanked a universe-busting explosion after tearing off Monarch's suit. He's also flown thrown the heart of the Anti-Monitor and come out unscathed.

Thanos has tanked reality-warping while passing through dimensions, a blast from the Maker that KOed him, and taken Gungir-concentrated shots from an enraged Odin.

There are far more feats from each. Overall, who's durability is better, and why?

EDIT: Title should say "or," not "of."

Prime has higher-end durability feats while Thanos has the better average/consistent durability feats IMO.

Prime

Prime if you discard some of his downright silly losses.

Galan007
Prime. Unquestionably.

As was mentioned in the OP, Prime tanked Monarch's universe-busting detonation at ground zero. He was also completely unscathed after flying directly through the anti-matter energies that comprise Anti-Monitor's being (of which are also capable of nullifying universes.)

Thanos has no durability feats anywhere near that. None.

Prime, obviously. You need to be a Quanchi level fan to think otherwise.

YoungGunna
Prime no doubt

Harbinger
I actually expected at least someone (other than Quan) to give a case for Thanos. Gotdamn. This thread= fail.

You'll have to sit on K-thaosi guy because Nihilist actually knows stuff about Thanos.

Thanos is sh1t compared to SBP

This.

I would say that Thanos average is better than Prime average and Prime high end is better than Thanos high end.

thanos has some pretty good durablity feats...didnt he resist the rot which was destroying the universe...and then proceeds to destroy it completely

That's not a low showing. An earth dog can bite a human and break the skin. So why can't a Kryptonian dog with powers not break the skin of a kryptonian??


Anyway SBP has greater durability.

Omega Vision
Tbf, Krypto has a pretty good record.

He tore through Mongul's neck like nothing.

And yet when he attacked Prime with the same ferocity he barely did any damage at all and quickly got put down.

Without a doubt, Thanos.

I've never really agreed with the idea he simply tanked the Monarch blast.

It seemed like more was at work there.

It seemed like more was at work there. There's absolutely no proof whatsoever he did. I agree in droppe dhim in time but tanking the blast would imply he was still in the universe after the blast hit which the Monitor confirmed he wasn't.

Agreed.

And if you looked at his average showings, even as Superman Prime, Thanos is above him. Half of the things that has damaged him or made him scream out in pain wouldn't even get acknowledged by Thanos.

Anyway SBP has greater durability. We don't have superhuman durability.

It takes a lot less than a dog to break our skin.

Yes but Krypto does. Why shouldn't he be able to bite SBP. The Average earth dog can break even the toughest humans skin if he bites them. So why shouldn't Krypto be able to do the same to someone from his planet.

If Krypto was an Earth dog of course he shouldnt be able to break SBP skin, but he is not he is a Kryptonian dog with Super powers.

If Krypto was an Earth dog of course he shouldnt be able to break SBP skin, but he is not he is a Kryptonian dog with Super powers. What makes you think that if:

The strength of a human equals that of superman, then it is an equivalent ratio of a regular dog to krypto?

Like if superman if 1 trillion times stronger than a human, what makes you think krypto is 1 trillion times stronger than a regular dog?

A human has pretty much zero piercing durability, your analogy doesn't work at all.

Just by the fact that average dogs are usually stronger or more ferocius than humans. I don't think Krypto should have to be 1 trillion times stronger to do damage to SBP.

Hell I think a Kryptonian dog should be faster than Superman.....because it's a dog.....dog's are just faster.

There is absolutely no proof or whatsoever about Void depending on Bob's will to live.

See what I did there?

See what I did there? Except the writer stated it in an interview unlike your lack of proof or lack of a logical assumption to connect the dots of why the Monitor couldn't sense Prime after the blast. Plus we've already seen the Void come back from complete destruction on panel. LOL.

Wishful thinking and nothing more.

I probably like dogs more than people. I always wanted to be a trainer. Like that homo dog whisperer.

Mistress Death gives Mephisto a blow job daily; she even does it while talking to Thanos on the phone...

You should have realized that Mephisto was her REAL man when she came to his aid against Thanos in the Infinity Guantlet arc...

Happy Dance

Happy Dance She acted this way because Thanos was getting his rocks off with Terraxia the mad titan's personal whore. Thanos always wins in the end it's in his dna.

Prime - no contest.

He duked it out with 2 supermen,
Took the Martian Manhunters best shots,
laughed at Black Adam's attack,
Spoke casually while Earth 1 superboy attacked him,
fought against thirty or so green lanterns without having trouble ....

etc. etc .etc...... all this just in the crisis.....

Thanos couldnt have done any of that

rotiart
Thanos jumping into thoti... Energies enough to remake the entire universe and absorb even the living tribunal... And survived...

KuRuPT Thanosi
Are people actually saying there is nothing compared to being at "ground zero" for the "universe exploding" even though there was other stuff that lived? As stated above... being exposed to the naked energies of the heart of the universe is certainly comparable if not greater.

Prime has also bled from Kypto and been scarred for life by Superboy. The guy has awesome damage soak but he's a bleeder.
