By feats only, and regular versions of both characters, no amps applied. Who is the stronger?

Opinions...........

Thanos would get annihilated by a sun-amped Superman--or even a regular one that stops holding back.

So Darkseid, easily.

That's rubbish. He wasn't holding back and had an adrenaline boost.

Even with the gem, he wasn't as strong as you're claiming to be.

And Darkseid has manhandled Orion and Superman like nothing. That's above the paygrade of Thanos.

Insane Titan
Yeah Thanos is stronger.

Thanos holds his own about a bloodlusted power gem Thor who's strength was growing by the minute.

Normal Thor gives Superman the fight of his life, the same Superman Darksied can't handle regularly.

Darkseid has tapped out against Superman. Orion ripped through his chest. Raker humiliated him one on one. Thanos takes on Odin. Darkseid can't even take on Doomsday.

Just my conjecture but there isn't a single writer on Earth that would ever have Superman look good in an altercation with Thanos. Not even DC ones. I think portrayal has to count for something here.

There isn't a writer who would made Thanos look superior to Superman in strength just like they do against Hulk. Even Starlin respects Superman so much.

You are simply not aware of the reputation of the character if you think no writer will allow Superman to beat the ****ing shit out of Thanos if say universe was in danger. Pit him against Grant Morrison or Joe Casey's Superman and see what happens.

And Regular Thor was stated to be a tough fight for Thanos in the very same issue. Thanos was on the losing end anyway.



Normal Thor can give Thanos a fight too.

Superman has a clean victory against Thor. Thanos still doesn't.

Darkseid is easily stronger. He's portrayed either peers or above Superman every time. Superman is stronger than Thanos.

All this happens in issue 12 iirc. True, the second fight BP and BM outsmarted him FTW (a good feat in itself) rather than beat him down. But it remains that in the first fight they were able to physically beat him down and KO him although one team member was killed in the process. Still, comprehensively beating Thanos twice, once physically and once by improvising and both pretty quickly, is impressive.

On the other hand Darkseid is hard to compare with all the inconsistencies under different writers and different versions, preboot etc. A while back I might have given Thanos an edge but these days maybe the other way.

Lol at comprehensively beating him twice.

In the second fight they were nothing physically to Thanos and needed a plot device that could only work once to win.

Of course he has been.

Superman wasn't even bloody. And funny how you disregard Thor being stated as a tough fight for Thanos but take Superman's word on face value.

Not via strength. In fact they whooped his ass and he had to resort to energy attacks and Thor was conscious after several attacks.

Again not by raw strength. Thanos has never manhandled a top tier like Orion like this.

Pity Thor on his has not been shown to be actual fight for Thanos as infinity shows.

Haha whooped his ass, they knocked him over that's it. Thor was on his knees about to be finished by Thanos.

He mandated Lord Marvell with ease , and dismisses Hulk and Drax with a simple back hand when he's serious.

In his guardians of the galaxy run. I forget which issue it was. Which says a lot because I used to be known as the Nova guy around here.

Rider got his arm chopped off by evil Cap's shield toss (which for some reason he couldn't heal). Then he said some shit about how he always wanted kids, got the cosmic cube and I guess he sent Starlord, Drax and Thanos back to 616 and then wished himself out of existence or some shit. Hot garbage.

Most "standard" versions of Darkseid people like to use, aren't even Darkseid. Do we use his true form? Or something else? He doesn't have as consistent a baseline as someone like Thanos, imo.

Just like Thor isn't Superman's toughest fight. But you accept it because it suits you.



Thanos was on his knees too about to be finished by Thor and Thing by that example.

I'll wait when he can actually KO Thor.



Mar-Vell has simply no strength feats to speak of. He backhanded them and they were not even knocked down.

Its a non feat.

Why are you using a cross over fight to make a point? A point you're failing miserably at by the way. After all, you just admitted that Thor got beat by Kal in that fight. Then while he was weakened, the Avengers jump him.

You do know that was a bad example to use right?

You do know that was a bad example to use right? It was being discussed. If you can't follow along within a thread maybe this is too difficult for you. So superman can't take more than Thor on without help. Thanos would crush him. He's small time.

Superman knackered look said otherwise, unlike Thanos who was fine.

Haha, they couldn't even hurt him hitting him together.

It took superman shit loads of punches after a long fight to ko Thor. Thanos koed Thor in infinity after only a few punches.

Marvell energy amped punches through Novas full grav shields. His punch had no affect on Thanos

Only DS isn't stronger, and nothing you presented says otherwise. Thanos and generally portrayed is villain that teams need to be formed to stop. That is his M.O. He's generally always portrayed as above the strong types like Thor or Hulk or Thing or the lot. He just casually deals with them.

I love how Abhi says Thanos hasn't beaten Thor straight up, when that is EXACTLY what he has done numerous times. He beat Thor and Thing easily. He later beat Thor in Infinity, and again easily. Stop trying to act like Thor wasn't KO'd and therefore Thanos didn't beat him. That is being blatantly disingenuous. Thanos treat Thor like a feeb. He literally took his lighting and asked for more. He casually caught his hammer strike as if it was nothing. Then tossed him aside like a mere nuisance. Yet somehow, Thanos didn't come across as more powerful? Right....

This thread belongs to thanos, and easily

abhilegend
You as usual know nothing about either character and are just speaking gibberish.

No, Thanos is not stronger. You are welcome to post scans and prove otherwise though. And Thanos hasn't beaten Thor via pure strength.
