Dr.Manhatten, from the greatest comoc of all time, "Watchmen"?
Tough one.
Dr.Manhattan not only has molecular manipulation, but he is said
to be able to inflict nuclrear bomb-sclae attacks (he was said to
be able to easily destroy "large areas of Soviet territory instantly".
On the other hand, Silver Surfer could probably do the same thing,
and he is weaker than Thanos.
I say Thanos survives Dr.manhattan's best attacks, and responds
with a kill.
Dr Manhattan:
-PhD in Atomic Physics
-complete control over matter,his own body's size, coloration and density.
-can create multiple copies of himself
-project energy rays
-create force fields,
-transmute and create matter
-teleport himself and others
-move objects(tele)
-reverse entropy locally
Despite all his power it is seem he is only capable of cities destruction.
Most of the stuff he does so can Thanos at a higher level.
and Thanos's durability and immortality is gonna get him a victory.
He loses for the same reason Thanos does, his ego.
Indeed thanos can do similar things.....but the most important things he cannot i.e multiply...and make himself different colors!
imagine 20 pink Dr. M's...oh be afriad....be very very afraid.
He didn't lose at the end. Just went away form earth.
Actually, I think he may have a chance afterall. He claimed to
have walked across the Sun. Also, as kgkg pointed out, he
can see across time. That's pretty heavy stuff.
Anyway. If Thanos wins, it'll be mostly because of his cast
experience.
dr manhattan can do absolutley anything. he is basically god. not a god THE god. when he was on Mars he whipped up a giant fortress outta no where without even waving his hand or even concentrating it just materialzed beneath him. he turned air into water for that chick he used to be with and provided a breatheable atmosphere for her. he did all the stuff everyone else mentioned. then at the end he was thinking about life. then he said "maybe i should create some."
the cool thing about his time abilties is he's basically everywhere and no where all at once, he does everything and does nothing all at once. so he was explaining to the chick on Mars all the tings he had done (walk across the sun, exlpored every nook and cranny of Mars) and she was all baffled. probaly thinking that he didnt leave earth long enuff to accomplish all that.
the one thing i think is mondo cool tho was when he let his copy have sex with he while he was doing work in his lab that was ill.(cant believe i said mondo)
Molecule Man is nobody compared to this guy. MM only is in touch with all the molecules in the universe, and can manipulate them(only inorganic substances) making him somewhat omiscient, but Dr Man can create them ,make them appear outta no where, whatever you wanna call it
i mean, i know the wheels on the Thanos bandwagon is pretty greased, and Im ususally the one driving, or at least in the passenger seat, but thanos is completely out matched here. where talking about abstract entity, or IG Level power here with Dr Man.
thats becuase thats the most major thing he has ever had to do. remember in that universe he is the only super powerd being, and after a while his ego set in and he was all like let man solve thier own problems. how can you look at a guy with al the power in the world and say that he can only destroy a country?
That's a tough one manjaro, since he was never shown to have
such unlimited powers in the comic series.
True he built that martian castle, and then liften it up to fly over
the planet, but I can't see how his molecular manipulation is
greater than, say, Silver Surfer.
Like him, Silver Surfer can also destroy large pasts of nations,
and he too can manipulate molecules (the comic series clearly
says that theoretically he can "at any time destroy large
arreas of Soviet territory instantly", not destroy all of the Soviet
Union).
And since Thanos is more powerful than Silver Surfer, one can
assume that he can probably beat Dr.Manhattan.
As for the match: Dr Manhattan doesn't have unlimited power. He has great power. If you remember, it was stated he would be able to stop the majority of a nuclear strike. Obviously he has limits.
Not sure about the fight though. Seems like a certain deadlock.
