In identical fashion to ongoing thread concerning Thors durability (excellent thread idea keiththegreat), lets test out Classic Thanos's durability...

In this senario, Thanos will be utilizing his very best shielding technology (the shielding he called into play against Galactus); he will be required to stand there and withstand the full brunt of each attack if his shielding is overwhelmed...


At what point will he be:

a) KO'ed...
b) Killed...


1) The entire Justice League (during the "Death of Superman" arc) concentrating fire on him...
2) The Disintegrator Beam from the Asgardian Destroyer (at normal size/power level)...
3) Hal Jordans "Krona Buster"...
4) Thor's strongest God Blast (the exact same one he used on Exitar)...
5) Odin concentrating the full might of the Odinforce through his Sceptre of Power...
6) The Disintegrator Beam from the 2000ft Asgardian Destroyer...
7) The combined blast from the 4th Celestial Host that melted the 2000ft Asgardian Destroyer...
8) The blast that the Anti-Monitor withstood at the Dawn of Time...
9) The "Billions of Dimensions" buster that Classic Molecule Man attacked Classic Beyonder with...

Stops at 7 in both. Keep in mind, he withstood a blast from Omega (sated by Genis Vell with Cosmic Awareness, as easily being twice as powerful as Galactus).

^I thought statements meant nothing to you and that unless it happened on-panel, it was bull.

KMC Thanos takes all these attacks combined and doesnt yield.

Even if you don't buy that he was EXACTLY twice as powerful as Galactus, he was a Galactus level being and Thanos not only survived his attack, he was fully conscious (but badly hurt).

He gets to 7 and stops.

Whatever. That being was a cloned from the DNA of Galactus and Thanos. Genis Vell with Cosmic Awareness said point blank that he has encountered Galactus before and that his Cosmic Awareness says Omega easily dwarfs him in power.

Thanos' shields enabled him to survive an attack from that Galactus/Thanos clone and he wasn't even KOed.

Thanos casually tanked a planet-busting explosion during the last issue of his mini series. Personally, I'd put that above surviving a blast from Omega.

While I think the Gas Giant exploding is impressive.. espeically without shielding and casually. Let's not forget that he NEEDED his shielding against Omega to prob survive. That isn't said, but one might assume he would've been KO'd or killed eventually. He didn't need his shields for the planetary explosion. Let's also not forget that Galactus has wrrecked galaxies during his fights... we can't forget the herald my rage blasts... So I'm not sure a planet exploding is more than a pissed off Galactus blasts. Who knows i guess.

Good point. I guess I'm just looking more at collateral damage.

Here an entire planet(+) was destroyed:

Whereas Omega's blast only left a fairly small crater on the surface of the planet:

You realize that collateral damage isn't a good indicator of overall power right? Pre Retcon MM's "billion dimension slagging attack" against the Beyonder didn't even singe the walls in Marsha's apartment.

Regarding that gas giant exploding, Skeet survived that blast unharmed.

Surviving a blast from a Galactus level being > surviving some planetary explosion IMHO.

Skreet is uber as hell, bro. She was beating the christ out of Fallen One in that very same issue, before Thanos ordered her to stop.

I disagree.

Skreet said shed had survived worse. The effects of the blast were felt light years away which is well beyond planetary

That may well be, but in this instance, the reason why there wasn't more collateral damage was because Thanos TPed the entire battlefield away from the Earth because Warlock stated Thanos didn't think the planet would survive the showdown :

Earth may not have survived the entire showdown, but it would have DEFINITELY survived the single blast Thanos endured-- as only a small crater was left in its wake (this is when collateral damage displays become important.) You see, I know earth would've survived that blast, because the planet they were on survived it.

Just because a character possesses "x" amount of power, doesn't mean all of that power goes into every single energy blast that character manifests. For instance, Captain Marvel also endured a shot of Omega's eye-beams:

You read that scan right?
Thanos : Exactly! Misdirection
Dr Strange : But how can a diversion gain us victory?
Warlock : I believe it may just have gained Captain Marvel his survival!

Omega was distracted.

This is what happened when Omega got serious and wanted Thanos dead :

@TheGodKiller
Your mother. I'm using your own logic. When Galactus let loose one of his more powerful blasts, an entire Galaxy was destroyed. When Omega let loose a blast vs. Thanos, a small crater was left on a planet. Clearly no attack Omega used contained Galactus++ level power. It couldn't be more obvious.

That said, just because someone powerful blasts you, doesn't mean you just tanked the entirety of their power. :/

Even if you don't believe Thanos and Captain Marvel with his Cosmic Awareness, surely you MUST realize that blast was >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gas giant exploding.

The Gas Giant exploding barely fazed Thanos or Skeet. Omega blasting Thanos through THREE PERSONAL FORCE FIELDS AND HIS ARMOR had Thanos on his knees tore up and bleeding.

Do you at least understand this?

Of course I do... That's why I told KT "good point."

Regardless, even if the entirety of that blast would've been directed at the planet, I still don't think the planet would've been destroyed... Which is strange. You'd think a more powerful blast would've caused more damage...

Not if its meant to be powerful via compression.

Again, PR MM went all out with a "billion dimension slagging attack" vs the Beyonder and Marsha's apartment wasn't even singed.

2000ft Destroyer fighting the Fourth Host caused almost NO collateral damage.

DP Tyrant vs Galactus caused almost no damage to collateral damage.

etc....

It happens.

Thanos is probably KO'd at the same time that he is killed, at number 6 for sure.

A single blast from Galactus burned right through Thanos' shields and hurt him. A second blast was going to kill him.

Probably ko'd at 4, definitely ko'd at 5 (and possibly killed there).

lol, no character exerts the same amount of power for every action they make. I don't care if Galactus has destroyed galaxies. That doesn't mean everytime he blasts something that it is even remotely that level or even planetary level. This is how comics are. You just can't equate a character's best showings with any other scene you like. This is called con artistry.

After KT made the comment regarding Thanos using shielding against Omega's blast(which I'd forgotten about), I said "good point", then went on to say why I had originally believed the planet-busting explosion was a more impressive durability showing. An entire planet being leveled, compared to a small crater being left on a planet's surface-- the former undoubtedly comes off as a LOT more impressive than the latter at first glance. You'd be an idiot to think otherwise.

In fact, the former IS the better solo durability showing because Thanos didn't use any shielding-- it was all him.

Who said I was talking to you at all? You have quite an ego galan, you put me on ignore and since then I stopped reading your posts at all. That was more to the general theme in this thread that bigger blast=more power.

Why post the "herald my rage scan"? It proves nothing. Omega only appeared in what, 6 issues? Galactus has how many showing?

Fact is, the writer of BOTH incidents : Thanos/Galatus and Thanos/Omega, Jim Starlin, made his point : Omega > Galactus in power and displayed it on panel (going by common foe : Thanos).

A being 2x more powerful than G was owned by pretty lulz-worthy means, though.

It was stated on panel that Omega was a faulty creation because he was hatched/released before Thanos could perfect him. He, Omega, didn't have the ability to speak, his reaction time was extremely slow, and his senses were crippled when he was separated from his ship.

Despite all this, he had more raw power than Galactus. He was beaten only AFTER they separated him from his ship and destroyed it. Then it was only a matter of outsmarting him and destroying him. It took a nuke the size of a planet set off by an ARMADA of ships to do it.

Maybe what he considers normal, standard or regular Thanos is different from your opinion.

On a side note, this whole feigning ignorance to troll is becoming an issue that will be dealt with by mods.

There is absolutely no reason or excuse to post such remarks just for being called a troll. If the internet ruffles your feathers then maybe take a break from the forums.

You both have several warnings and/or temp bans. I suggest this be the last time I have to address either of you for a while.

Any questions and comments can be sent to me via PM. If I see either of you reply to my post with reasons, excuse, complaints, etc, it will result in a warning.

Stops at 3

Thor God Blasts a starving Galactus and barely moves him but does get him to leave. Yet I'm suppose to believe a god blast WITH Thanos using his best shielding would breach his shield let alone KO him? Sorry, I don't buy it. Thanos blasted a well fed galactus hundreds of yards through this ship bouncing around on the moon... Thor barely even moves Galactus with his most powerful blast. This was also a watered down Galactus.

As far as the Gas Giant vs. Omega blast and Galactus blasts.. I honestly believe those were cimply concentrated blasts on Thanos specifically not for collateral damage and extending outward. They were very narrow blasting streams fired directly at Thanos and it was a steady stream. IMO.. I believe if thanos wasn't there and the planet took the full force of the omega blast.. it would've been destroyed and maybe some other collateral damage. Just my opinion though

Which blast that Thanos withstood do you think is more impressive?

IMO the Omega blast.. Simply because Thanos prepped for Omega... brought his best tech shielding (never heard him say before or after that he brought 3 tech shields to a fight) and he was still hurt.. bleeding and cinged. To me, if he was more visably hurt even while using shiedling first and it had to get through that just to get to THanos... and when it does hurts him more than the Gas giant did with no shielding to get through first.. I would say that... But meh.. who knows.

I guess my original assessment still holds then. Thanos gets KOed in round 5 and then KOed in all the other rounds from then on, and possibly killed depending on whether he's still banned from Death's bedchambers or not.

So I would venture to say that you feel like a blast from Odin is more powerful than a blast from Omega or Galactus.. neither of which KO'd or Killed Thanos

Odin is channeling the full power of the Odinforce into his blast. As we've seen recently, the power difference between Odin and a standard fed Galactus, while existent is not overtly massive. You're also missing the point that by the time he gets to Odin, he'd have already faced Thor's strongest Godblast(which shattered Exitar's braincase), which could most likely compromise Thanos' shields. However there's room for debate on the Thor portion of the gauntlet which is why I say he stops at Odin.

OHHHHH.. I was under the impression he gets fully healed and recovered going into each test.. If he doesn't.. I agree wity your view GK

Tbh, the OP is very ambiguously worded. For eg if Thanos' shields get overwhelmed in one case, then does he get brand new shields in the next or not? Or is he reliant solely on his natural durability from that step onwards?

@LOM: If you could clear this up, then it'll be good.
