Surfer and Thor can't do anything to Thanos (per comics). I'm led to believe that Orion should put up a fight...
I don't know what the general consensus is on Hal vs Thanos.
Hal with both rings would be essentially invulnerable, and again by his willpower he just opens an interdimensional rift and sends the opposition to another universe.
Actually. Pending a smart strategy, I think the team could win. Have Thor occupy Thanos for as long as possible, while they go 3-on-1 vs. DS. Thor's energy soak (and counter attack) has made him a tough out for Thanos even 1-on-1.
Gender: Male Location: Drinking gasoline. Pissing napalm.
I don't agree. Backed up in two different fights on panel, and against the Thanosi in Celestial Quest in addition to that, Thor isn't a problem for Thanos at all.
Thor also once beat Thanos with a bunch of armor-related upgrades. Not Classic Thor, granted. But again, if his job is to buy the team time, he could play defensive and tank Thanos for quite a while, which he has done before, and could do again. No one's saying he beats Thanos.
Thanos would easily take down Thor. One of the best showings ever from thor in the blood of thunder with the power gem Thanos took on for the sheer thrill of it.
Thor is a top tier and Thanos can beat him any time he wants. Don't forget he can pure force block him at any moment in time.
That was a clone. Thanos later kinda mocked Thor for holding this victory in so high regard and then easily hand waved Thor's hammer toss to the ground.
Hell, was that a Thanosi? I thought it was the real deal. Conceded then, on that feat at least.
I still maintain my point. Thanos' energy blasts are ammo for Thor, which is usually his main attack. And he doesn't have the pimp hand jobber aura against Thor like he does with Surfer. It would take him a while to down Thor. The team could feasibly gang-bang DS before Thor fell.
There's people saying DS dies anyway, so I don't see why my idea is so far-fetched.
The same clone was foretold to kill Thor had Thor not gotten his powerups btw...
He could go h2h... or semi close and eye blast him to hell. The only way Thor is lasting any amount of time, is if all he does is stand back and absorb... and Thanos stands back and blasts the whole time.
I don't see how Surfer jobs tbh. Especially when Thanos' powers are apparently enough to give Surfer all his energy back with the wave of his hand... Kind of hard for Surfer to ever look good against someone so far above him.
Classic Thor could absorb energy even if it wasn't going directly into his hammer, so long as he was holding Mjolnir...it would channel into the hammer. Gotta assume full powersets for that to work, of course, but this is a forum battle. And if he is buying time, he wouldn't necessarily be goaded into a brawl easily.
I know Thanos is on a different level. We're mostly on the same page here. I prefaced my first statement with the necessity of it being a smartly executed plan. Comic-Thor would almost certainly get trucked early in a brawl.
I also don't see Thanos' feats as being so far beyond Surfer that he deserves one-shots at the hands of Thanos. There's a gap, to be sure, however.
