No prep.
No BFR.
No amps.

http://www.thedailycrate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dpthan2015002-hildebrandt-var-top-149397.jpg

When 'no amps', does this mean Thanos is at his original levels (i.e. before he was resurrected by Death')?

How big a difference does that make?
I was basically just saying standard form(s), no gauntlets or weapons or mental attacks just fists.

Thanos is more durable, but the general is both stronger and heals faster.

I think the titan is in trouble

With the resurrection, he is unkillable.

He was recreating himself from a skeleton there.

Isnt the General basically unkillable as well? If so, sounds fair.
If not, then pre-res.
Now come oooon, pick a winner, DS.

Ha. I reckon it will be a stalemate. Batman was blowing chunks off the General with his grenades, so his durability is below Thanos'.

On the other hand, I have seen Thanos KOed before - but not the General.

Later on, he was also no selling Astro-Force blasts.

Good deal!
I was looking at your scan and thinking, well, unkillable obviously doesnt mean completely indestructible, or immune to pain. I started thinking stalemate also.
Thanks for your call on this.

Due to his HF, yes. Superman was using HV to cut his limbs off. But his durability wasn't the major factor in no selling the Astro Force.

Thanos wins.

General rips him apart.

The only instance I can recall Thanos being KO'ed was against The Maker and that was an energy attack...not a punch.

Besides, being KO'ed by a Cube Being is nothing to be ashamed of...

^^^thats true.

Besides, being KO'ed by a Cube Being is nothing to be ashamed of... He was actually KO'd by a generic alien handblaster once... Then there was the Squirrel Girl incident.

As for the battle, it's probably going to be a stalemate with characters like these guys. Thanos may not be able to put down the General in a slugfest but I don't see that the General can win either - maybe if the battle goes on a very, very, very long time

Thanos will ragdoll him for etwrnity.

This sounds right.

Thanos wins,but take a while

Not really, General will buy time healing up by getting hits on Thanos. This is either a stalemate or Thanos loses.

The General doesn't tire or lose energy so he can keep growing back until Thanos tires or runs out of energy.

Superman actually hit him so hard, he flew right through him (full power). Eiling just took it.

IOW, the more I look at it, Eiling's lesser durability is actually in his favour. He's not durable enough to tank Thanos' blows; but Thanos' fist would just punch through him.

And he'd survive it.

eventually thanos' fist would replicate amanda waller's bomb--ie--he'd likely rip right through general's skull and take him out by destroying his brain. thanos would take this eventually. i think supes could have done it too had he been willing to have been brutal enough.

If so, Thanos isnt replicating that. Bombs and punches work in completely different ways.
At this point my question(s) are just out of curiosity, as someone who has both worked with explosives and been punched many times.

That's a clone brah...original body is in the phantom zone.


I love both it's a stalemate.

Eiling will mostly throw around Thanos since he is so huge he squashed Orion like a bug.

Still cant see them taking out each other.

Warmaker One shot him with a bullet designed to kill Superman; he just healed from that.

the body that waller blew the brains out of was a clone? that's the first i've heard that. when'd that happen? where'd the clone body come from and are you sure it was supposed to be weaker?

as for the bullet meant to kill supes: was it fired into his brain? i can't remember the scene completely. regardless, if superman punched through him, thanos would be able to as well imo, and i could def see him grabbing the back of eiling's head and driving a fist through his skull to destroy his brain. that would be an def ko imo. eiling might heal from it, but he'd be out for a significant time--more than enough to give thanos a win. imho

To me it seemed like it it was to the head, especially with Warmaker's shock that he was regenerating, but it wasn't exactly clear.

Cool scans!

hmm, you think? i'd say it was def a body shot, even given where he appeared to me aiming. you'd think there would have been more purple goo on his head too, were that where it hit.....

like i said, i still think thanos is fully capable of going butcher and tearing into eiling's brain, and i'd say that would be enough to win the match.

I actually thought he was laying back further. After enlarging the scan, it looks like his teeth are there, so eh. (shrugs shoulders). The arm doesn't look like it's in the right place for him to be sitting somewhat up, unless it was blown off.

Can get pretty interesting!

The General cannot be defeated in a slugfest, hes basically unbeatable against phyiscal attacks. If that is all Thanos can do here (due to the restrictions of the match), then in time, he will lose. Eiling was strong enough to use Superman as a club against the JLA, hes strong enough to eventually hurt, and then beat, Thanos phyiscally.

The fact that I've had to direct you to the OP/topic title so often means you should question ever having been right.

In the battle against the 25000 black knights he did reach a point where he had to ration his energy blasting, and was finally forced to retreat from the battle entirely even with Warlock and the others fighting alongside him. In a pure slugfest he presumably wouldn't be expending energy as quickly as when blasting but it showed he had his limits, at least at that point. That was a while back in his career though.

Considering BatGod's grenades blew his arm off, an atomic warhead, even miniature, should've vaporised his entire upper body. Whether it hit his shoulder or head....

Plus, he's got purple goo gushing out if his mouth. I reckon his head was blown.

However, in the preceding scan, when Superman and WW are going supersonic and punching him.....you can see him groggy and dazed.

So he can be KOed.

Indeed, he can be stunned - so more power would KO him (he was pretty much dazed and senseless by supersonic hits).

Would or should? The correct wording is should be knocked out. Since I never saw him in that state, there is a possibility that he would not be knocked out. This also depends on how much power we are talking about. Does this version of Thanos have the power to knock him out? That's all that I am saying here.

'Should'? Well, for doubt to enter your mind, then there must be something that kicks in to protect Eiling from getting KOed, whether it be his HF, or something else.

Then you'd have to wonder why it didn't protect him from punches from Superman/WW.

I take your point on Thanos' power level. THAT is worth debating on. But I fully believe that Eiling CAN be KOed, as he has been shown to be dazed and confused, reeling punch drunk from Superman/WW.

Sorry got busy. Superman and Wonder Woman punched him in tandem, and yes it did daze him, but it didn't put him out. Those are two heavy hitters though. It's not as if he was hit by Aquaman and Nu Blue Beetle. I know that Thanos can lay down some heavy damage, but his best punches are usually laced with energy. For now I'm taking as neutral a stance and giving both the benefit of doubt. I see your point loud and clear because Thanos can hit extremely hard, and can take more than he gives if we consider his match with a doppelganger that was touted to be his physical superior. Not to mention taking Odin's hits which were easily capable of one shot dealing with the Surfer. If you believe that he could KO Eiling, I'll go with it, but I don't think that it would be a one shot.

Let's stop this nonsense, Thanos would piss on the General's still beating heart.

If you dont like how the match breaks down because of that...msn-oh

Well, if this is virtually the same Thanos as we saw up until the Infinity Quest, I would look at how Thanos had to resort to trickery in order to obtain the Champion's power gem. He had no desire or ability to simply overpower the Champion, even though, up until destroying that planet, Champion's on-panel showings would never have placed him in a top- tier position.

Yet, Thanos, rather than simply defeating Champion and taking the gem, chose to go through an elaborate plan, which left Champion at his mercy through no force from Thanos.

My guess would be that Champion was too much for Thanos. And in my opinion the General would defeat any incarnation of Champion.

Just thinking out- loud.

Thats pretty good. I hadnt thought of that in the way of reasoning.
I like that in a villain, though. Why fight when you can use chicanery? Doesnt really translate to battle threads, outside prep ones though.

So general could handle champion+power gem?

I think that your perspective on things is slightly skewed. The Champion was going at it for some time against an alien army before Thanos actually arrived on scene. This gave him time to adjust to the Power Gem. Moreover, the Champion has been portrayed differently several times during his limited appearances. There are times that he has been shown to possess near mastery over the gem which was seen when he trained Titania, and times that he appeared to know very little about how to tap into the gems full potential, which never made much sense to me. I mean, how can you be in possession of the PG for hundreds if not thousands of years, and only be able to use it on the level that Thor was using it?

Even Thor in a mentally deranged state was able to threaten all of existence while in possession of the gem according to on panel citation. Thanos was facing a Champion that knew how to use the gem, but was simply outwitted by Thanos. The General would never be able to defeat the Champion that faced off against Thanos. Just take a step back and recall exactly what those shields of Thanos were able to protect him from. Galactus, and Omega. The Champion, was putting out quite a bit of power if you think about it when he made Thanos' shields buckle with punches.

^^^good stuff, Stoic...

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DpOK4eaA1uI/hqdefault.jpg

Problem is champion had far greater power reserve to call from compared to the General, so a comparison is pointless.

Thanos obviously toyed with Champion.
