Sphinx with the stone vs Thanos.

Who wins? No bfring.

TheGodKiller
Does Thanos have any prep or any additional resources at his disposal ?

Sphinx.

Personally I'd find sphinx to be sky father level with just one ka stone.

Which means thanos loses.

Clearly Thanos.

Maybe Sphinx with the Worldmind and stone, but what has Sphinx done on Thanos' level in combat with the stone?

I think Sphinx can be classified depending on how one views the post Xandar/Skrull war stuff.

1) classic Sphinx
2) post WM upgrade Sphinx

The issue is whether or not he retained the WM power/knowledge after his defeat at the hands of Galactus, or not. I lean towards he did based on him being able to do a myriad of things that he was never shown to be able to do prior to the amp:

Time/Reality alteration, Creating dimensional pockets or planets (or whatever the hell that was in Nova) able to travel interstellar distances or remove or move others throughout time with a thought etc.

Prior to the WM amp dude got worked by the King and was left stranded a moon because he was unable to traverse the vacuum of space unaided. He did however display matter manipulation, telepathy, strength, invulnerability etc. But nowhere near the level of his post Galactus stuff.

As for combat feats, outside of Galactus he has never had to fight anyone of Thanos' calibre. However in terms of portrayal and power level/set he is a bit above Thanos imo. I mean supposedly Meryet only had half of his power but it was still enough to warp 616 Earth, merc most of It's heroes and then change it all back once she was persuaded to.

I will however concede that if we go strictly by fights, then Thanos would win. He's simply fought more powerful opponents.

Thanos wins, espicially if the likes of Nova can give him a fight 131

Ahhh, but you gotta remember that the Sphinx doesn't just warp reality, but time itself, including circumstances down to the minute detail. The things that made Thanos become who/what he is today. So while he may or may not be able to warp Thanos directly, he can warp the stuff that lead to Thanos if he desired. The force block technology, his run in with the Tyrant, him killing his mother, the fight with Odin etc. Anything he ever did to become more powerful is in play.

^^^ I've made this offer to you several times already. Let's BZ it. Although judging from you declaring that Thanos stomps I'm fairly certain I'd have to loan you all of my Sphinx material just to get you up to speed.

Technically, Sphinx is too much for Thanos. He has too many possible ways to win.

Although, record and experience, if taken into account, would lean toward Thanos.

That's true to a degree, but Thanos does have some very good showings. The sphinx on the other hand has only really fought Galactus at the level he is currently. Having said that, I just can't think of a single category where Thanos has an advantage here lol. TP? No. Tech? No. Strength? Hell no. Durability? Maybe. Immortality? No. Power set? Hell no.


Edit: just saw your edit lol. I agree. In showings Thanos wins by default.

Didn't he endure the psychological effects of getting his being warped ? I remember clearly that his physical body was getting distorted repeatedly , as he crossed from reality to reality .

I've read all about the Sphinx and even with his pathetic two ka stones where he fought his younger self. The Sphinx is too much of a dope to challenge Thanos. Anyone who consistently loses to Nova has got to be minor league as opposed major league.

God this forum can be infuriating at times. So you read a couple of pages in the latest Nova series and think you fully know the character and understand his motivations huh? There's a loooong history between he and Rider. Learn about that and you'll learn why he CHOOSES to allow himself to lose.

Any who, Sphinx turns Thanos into purple flatulence, leaving him to stink up the galaxy for all of eternity.

You don't. Him losing to Rider is a mix of both PIS and CIS. New Warriors 47-50 explains why he chooses to allow for his own defeat and It's got nothing to do with the power of his opponents. It's CIS.

Lol, I see what you did there, and if this was a popularity contest you'd actually have somewhat of a relevant point. However seeing as though personal CIS is off in this forum none of that matters. The only thing that matters is how they stack up in a fight, one on one unprepped without bfr. This has nothing to do with popularity. This has to do with competence/intelligence/combat feats/entire history. Thanos would have him turned around sidewise if these two ever locked horns. Sphinx just doesn't stack up. It's no shame losing to marvel's most successful villain of all time.

I just finished reading it now . I have been reading it for the last 4 days . I was actually looking for a MrMasterVSGalactisStorm debate that might have taken place(btw , could you tell me if it did take place in the BZ? ) , when I came across yours and decided to read through it . And no , I didn't "pilfer" through 11 pages(or less) worth of scans that you both showed , but I did try NOT to just skim through most of it .

Anyways , I think you're actually a pretty good debater , and use good arguments along with scans to back up your claims/opinions .

And as I said before , both of you made some excellent points . Based on what I read , I'd declare it too close to call(were I a judge) .

You said "competence/intelligence/combat feats/entire history".

Since "intelligence and combat feats" are recognized when debating a battle here, maybe "competence/entire history" should play a bigger part.

These could probably be rolled into a descriptor such as "Success Rate".

"Success Rate" would encompass competence, history, success and might be a good way to recognize those vague attributes that add up to how the character is generally handled by the writers.

I know that the term "Jobber" refers to this quality, but isn't really a serious factor when debating most battles.

For instance, in truth:

Thanos is written as a "Victor".
Sphinx is written as a "Loser", for want of a better term.

Apocalypse- "Victor".
Absorbing Man- "Loser".
While someone like Loki seems to have more of a 50% win, 50% loss record.

This "Success Rate", how writers handle the competence of a character, is akin to the "Hand of God" manipulating character performance, regardless of powers, power-levels, attributes, tech, intelligence, etc.

Anyway, I'm ranting. Sorry.

I'll post a few things just to set the tone.

In the following scene we have Darkhawk and Nova falling into some planet. Note the commentary as they're in free fall...

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/7969/1338228605picsay1338228.th.jpg http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6931/1338228665picsay1338228.th.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/4927/1338228700774.th.jpg

This is Anath-Na Mut, aka The Sphinx is letting us the readers into his mind a little bit. He has the power to create worlds or unmake them. In the second scan he tells Richie that he (Sphinx) orchestrated the events on the planet Shard as a means to bring Nova to him and in fact his hand is still glowing with power, meaning that it was all happening concurrently in real time (Note that Nova acknowledges that the Sphinx could merc them with a thought if he wanted to). What exactly are these events he speaks of? For that we must go back to the previous issue. Nova 31...

From the get go, weird shyte is happening on the planet...

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6697/1338231061picsay1338231.th.jpg

Just as Nova and Darkhawk stop their scuffle and agree to leave together all hell breaks loose...

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4099/1338231348picsay1338231.th.jpg http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2356/1338232531picsay1338232.th.jpg http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2515/1338232702picsay1338232.th.jpg http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/831/1338232873935.th.jpg

So we see there that the Sphinx ran some interference, got Nova and Co to stay just awhile longer and once he got what he wanted...BOOM. All from the comfort of his little homemade vacation/rehabilitation pocket dimension world thingy.

By having the demonstrably superior power level that's how. By being able to snap his fingers and alter reality on a whim if he wants. By firing beams that transcend time so that no shields can stop them. By being physically stronger etc.

You can argue jobber and loser to deflect from the reality all you want, but the bottomline is that all I have to do is post a single solitary feat that trumps anything Thanos has ever done under his own power. That phucker would need a cosmic cube to replicate it.

That always works against Nova to when these guys meet, right ?

Again, Thanos is unkillable has shown he can best reality warpers pre upgrade. The guy recently tanked a cc blast without a drop of Thanos' sweet blood.

This isn't feat arguing. In that case Odin crushes Oblivion. You know I am right. Thanos wins and without it even being a task for him doing so.

Refresh my memory, was the Nexus of realities an actual living sentient, thinking being that fought strategically? Or was it merely a harsh area of space much like the crunch, or the rip, or insert whatever other horrible point of no return scary area of space that seem to be ubiquitous in comics? The funny part about this is that he was in fact being warped lol.

He tanked a cc blast? Was that before or after he was fried by the anti-matter mine placed on him by our old friend Drax? Oh that's right, it was before. When he was still "weak". So anti-matter mine > depleted cc eh? Or is this the part where you argue that it was "special Drax magicks" that allowed the mine to work? Careful which way you choose to play it. You're arguing Marvel cosmic written by DnA with me. You know I know this shit inside and out.

Unless he tanked direct manipulation from the insane and fighting stupidly maker, you're talking apples and oranges here. I'll post it later. Again throwing Nova's name in the mix only furthers to highlight your ignorance of the two characters relative to one another. As I said earlier there's a reason he ALLOWS himself to lose to Rider, or anyone else for that matter. I even gave you issue numbers that gives insight into this fact. None of it has any baring in a Pis/cis free forum match.

Oh now this isn't feat arguing after you just named a few Thanos feats? Hahahaha! Sphinx warps time and makes Thanos get blown up over and over again with anti-matter mines lmfao! Superior beings that can warp reality, space and time just roll like that.

Unless he tanked direct manipulation from the insane and fighting stupidly maker, you're talking apples and oranges here. I'll post it later. Again throwing Nova's name in the mix only furthers to highlight your ignorance of the two characters relative to one another. As I said earlier there's a reason he ALLOWS himself to lose to Rider, or anyone else for that matter. I even gave you issue numbers that gives insight into this fact. None of it has any baring in a Pis/cis free forum match.

Oh now this isn't feat arguing after you just named a few Thanos feats? Hahahaha! Sphinx warps time and makes Thanos get blown up over and over again with anti-matter mines lmfao! Superior beings that can warp reality, space and time just roll like that. He was being warped but ultimately stayed true to himself and remained clean. That's a reality warp resistance feat any way you slice it.

That was well before a weakened Thanoswas hit by the blast. The comic makes it painfully clear he wasn't at full power and oh by the way; he reformed.

I am saying Thanos was that weakened at the time that an anti matter grenade destroyed him while a cc couldn't make him bleed.

Again, these characters fight in character not how you wan them to fight. Thanos has superior feats by miles than anything the Sphinx has ever done. Ever.

The god of time Kronos can't easily destroy Thanos yet you believe the Sphinx can ? He can't even beat Richard Rider. We argue based on what happens in comics not what you want to happen. Remember this lesson.

Sphinx wins, basically he is a Sky Father in power and abilities with one Ka Stone, with two it would be ridiculous.


Thanos would need artifact to equal to challenge one Ka stone to compensate the powers differential, only thing that would save Thanos from an all out a$$ whooping is Death curse.

Now I have to question if you've even read the material. The cc blast happened to mindless Hulk Thanos who had just been resurrected and was running around butt naked in the last issue of Guardians of the Galaxy, well before TI #3 where he got fried by anti-matter. He was unequivocally weak in that GOTG issue up until around MAYBE TI 2. And that's being very generous. Anything after that you're pulling out of your ass. But you didn't know that now did you? This just confirms to me what I've always suspected. You don't read the material, you scan shark it don't cha?

We argue feats/showings/portrayal etc. Sometimes one is so painfully obvious that it trumps most others. You know, like warping 616 reality with the wave of a hand.

Thanos has superior feats? One response... laughing

Now you may take your leave. I refuse to waste my precious time debating with scan sharks. Dismissed.

Now you may take your leave. I refuse to waste my precious time debating with scan sharks. Dismissed. No, I do read the material. I don't just leaf through scans. He wassn't weakened until after the gotg issue. He was gradually regaining his strength since then.

Take issue 25 for example. He had just recently come back into the fray and slaughtered an entire world after killing the previous avatar of death, the dyke. Thanos didn't budge when pressed by gunfire but later on against Drax was driven back and then some due to him still being weakened. That's a direct comparison which also makes sense since the bomb killed him because he wasn't anywhere near full strength as evidenced by the comparative gunfire attacks. The gunfire attacks happen right before the grenade attack you simpleton.


Honestly, you really want to go this route with me. It's honestly pleasing to hear you attempt to grow a set after all this time but it's really a little too much.

Superior feats--In the same series you claimed I didn't read. Thanos resisted a universally ritualized weapon designed to kill him/eliminate death. This from a universe backed by old time dark gods surmised at as older than the abstracts. Look at the one abstract they set forth. The Galactus Engine was just what we saw there were supposedly greater beings coming out of the Faultline and yet this being was powerful enough to stalemate various Celestials, Galactus, and T and A.

I don't argue through scans alone I read the arcs. Here's a secret. I won't sport a sig containing images from a comic I have not yet read thus far.

Run away little doggie.

Now that has got to be one of the most jumbled mess of chicken scratched arguments and faulty logic that I've read yet. He resisted the who to the what did the what to the who? Just a quick glance at your first few words reveals that you even get the minor details wrong. Martyr wasn't the avatar of death. Quick what was her role? Don't forget to wiki!

Grow a pair? Come now. We both know that my balls have sat firmly on top of your head for a few years now.

And much like your last post, Thanos was an incoherent babbling mess in that issue. Also in issue 25, you know, for comparative reasons, Drax also engaged Thanos in unarmed combat and managed to rock back him pretty good with a single blow before eventually going down off panel. As did Groot. Meanwhile the Sphinx, you know, for comparative purposes handles Drax level strength opponents like children...

http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc513/dmills31/Nova%20CQB%20protocols/1326249277289.jpg

And that's without a ka stone BTW. (Grimm did manage to get some decenct licks in after that)

Sticking to the "weakened" theme. The Sphinx created a world with a population, infrastructure/technology etc, destroyed another one and pulled various characters from around time (including his younger self) all while suffering from temporal cancers.

If you're referring to my Sig, issue's been out for over a month now. But again, Guy didn't post it in the ownage thread so you wouldn't know that now would you. Want the scans?

Are you telling me to run away? Bwahahahaha! You are the food. The food doesn't get to tell the chef to go away. You're the lobster getting tossed in a pot to boil alive as I'm seasoning you. You're the dead mouse that I, the cat, am toying with before I choose to consume you. The food has no say in when it gets eaten. Likewise you have no say in any of this.

Btw, It's worth noting that after classic Sphinx lost to Blackbolt, it was written that he only lost because he was caught unaware by Blackbolt who ambushed Sphinx after he owned the fantastic 4 and the rest of the Inhumans. The Sphinx thought the fight was over and Blackbolt jumped on him in a surprise attack. Marv Wolfman wrote both of those issues so the credibility is high there.

Ive beaten you to many times to name. What is GOTG. Yeah Yeah and he did all this and he got the attention of the guys like eternity. So what its just PIS. He also got his ass kicked by the magus lol. He cant Kill or defeat the Mask.

He was killed by Drax. Depending on the writer the guy is stupidly powerful, or with out any fanboyism powering him he is made to look like a fool.

dmills
^^^ Was said reality warper fighting according to forum rules? I.E...

The "No PIS" Rule

PIS = Plot Induced Stupidity

At times, for the sake of the plot, characters that are immensely more powerful than their opponent will "job" to carry on the plot of the story, even though the characters powers and history would clearly show that they are more than capable of destroying their opponent. For this reason we have a No PIS Rule. This rule prohibits the use of such instances of PIS from being used as evidence in debates.

And...


Full Capacity It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed. It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.

Or this...

Clarification of CIS

Ok people, here are the finalised rules as regards PIS, CIS, and everything related to it.

PIS is, as always, off unless the thread starter says it's ON.

CIS, as was said before, is now a more diverse term, but is not as vague as before.

While CIS still exists in the form of characters like Rhino (who are just too stupid to know better), it also exists in one other form.

This is known as Character Inhibited Power. This applies to characters that have intelligence, like the SilverSurfer, Superman, and so on and so forth.

As Bada said:

"It's a self imposed limitation in certain circumstances which there is concern for civilians and buildings for the most part. It's not stupidity, it's a limitation set until the threat exceeds a certain threshold."

What this means is that people liketheSurfer and Superman and so on will not use the full extent of their powers if it will endanger civilians. It doesn't,though, mean they will fight like idiots. The character's personality is an integral part of the match and dictates how they will perform. This is the crux of the rules we've come up with. It doesn't come down to powers, it comes down to the man or woman that weilds them.

In accordance with this, several factors come in to play in debates:

The Opponent, Basic Information, the Arena and the Character's Personality and Experience

Those four are key.

Example:

If Martian Manhunter fights say, Juggernaut.

MM doesn't personally know Juggernaut (Opponent). So he has Basic Information. This is categorised as being what the general public would know about the Juggernaut. It goes by averages.Ifthataverage manor woman on the street knows that Juggernaut is super strong, then MM knows. The average man or woman doesn't know, however, that the Juggernaut is weak against psionics. J'onn would approach with caution, not knowing whether Juggernaut was in his weight class, and not knowing the full extent of the man's powers.

However. If Martian Manhunter went up against Amazo, he would know to go for broke right at the start, because he KNOWS Amazo (Personality and Experience). He will use his speed, his strength, his shapeshifting. This is because if he knows what it takes to bring down Amazo, or he believes his standard attacks won't work. If J'onn was fighting Juggernaut, there would come a point when he would realise that normal attacks won't work, and would up his game. Any character that doesn't suffer from Rhino-esque. stupidity is capable of this. Even with this, though,the Arena comes in to play. If civilians are in danger, J'onn won't shapeshift in to a fire breathing dragon. Juggernaut on the other hand doesn't care, so wouldn't hesitate to toss cars and trucks full of civilians at the Martian.

Examples:

Thor knows he can't out-brawl Hulk, so uses exotic powers sooner than he would against the likes of Superman, as Superman is an unknown to him.

Superman would go all out against Doomsday or Despero because he knows how powerful they are. Against the Hulk, he's going to take a few punches before realising he'll have to use something rather than slugging it out. He won't bathe the street in heat vision either, because there are civilians nearby.

It ALL comes down to the CHARACTER, not the POWERSET.

You need proof then. Show me a reality warper of Sphnix's power beating Thanos on panel. I can show you Thanos beating someone far more powerful than the Sphinx who can warp reality on panel. That's the difference. I debate based on what I read while others debate based on what they want to happen.

Meryet is the female counterpart who gained a large portion of the original Sphinx's powers. She's the one that warped 616 into her own vision of the way things should be. You'd have to read the arc to understand how thoroughly she altered reality and time. The Egyptian gods seemed to have replaced the Asgardian gods in prominence, some heroes had been completely depowered and were living normal lives. Captains America was a dark skinned dude lol. Firelord was a woman. Horus replaced Thor etc. Interestingly, only Nova and to a lessor degree, Iron Man realized something was wrong with the way things were.

Meryet takes on just about every significant hero and villain on Earth. Starts wiping them out right off the bat... (something Thanos would need the Infinity gauntlet or some other artifact to do wink

And in true keeping with his motives, after reclaiming all of his power he gives her the key to defeating him.

I'll be back after work to post more scans. Eye beams that transcend time thus bypassing shields, strength, ability to pick opponents off at literally any "time" he chooses etc.

You have an unique definition of "proof" Quan lol. Circular reasoning. False dilemmas and all. I am giving an example of Thanos owning someone with reality warping powers.

And that's BeCause what worked on that person wouLd alsO work on the Sphinx who's KA stone not only Gives hIm elite level telepathy but also proteCts his mind? Cool.

this is a very good fight imo. sphinx has some great feats, but not sure how many of them would be effective against thanos. hrm. i'm not sure how this would turn out, but certainly not easy for either.

You need proof then. Show me a reality warper of Sphnix's power beating Thanos on panel. I can show you Thanos beating someone far more powerful than the Sphinx who can warp reality on panel. That's the difference. I debate based on what I read while others debate based on what they want to happen.


I can give you a scan of Wolverine owning a reality warper, you need to be less open ended than that to have a solid point.

You really dont debate on what you read. You debate on what you WISH would happen. anyone can look up thanos vs celestial, or thanos vs Rune rune king thor, thanos runs gauntlet were you say that thanos can beat lucifer morningstar to witness you rampent fanboyism. Your the biggest fanboy on here.
