emperor joker was strong enough to hold the spectre off, and the spectre himself has merged himself with alot of the power of the presance when fighting the great evil beast. You also forget that there are other powers such as the brothers, and the presance himself, the spear of destiny. DC got to many powerful beings and artifacts
dc is in no way better or harder to conquer than marvel. its just dc has darkseid while marvel has thanos. thanos seeks and conquers while darkseid well...exists
in the end thanos easily took down living tribunal and pretty much everyone, it wasnt even a challenge for him. dc would fall very fast, well as quickly as thanos wanted it to fall.
thanos took down living tribunal with ease. old lucy aint that good. thanos with ease with the heart. it was like conquering the universe was on easy leevl when he got that thing.
Simply, on a macro level the MU=DCU. The two universes are not just analogous when looked at on a holistic manner, but they are actually more than that .....they are totally the same. Not just similar ....the same.
Now, there are some differences here and there, but on a macro level it all nulls out.
Which is why sending one character, no matter how powerful, to another universe (in this case a multiverse .....since the DCU is not just one universe) is an excercise in futility.
True ....Thanos is powerful.
Moreover, the HOTU is omnipotence itself.
But the DCU has a multitude of beings and artifacts as well that are either at omnipotent level (or, as can only happen in comic books, go 'beyond' omnipotence .....and yes, i know that should be illogical but it is not).
One more thing ....that may sound illogical to some but if you use some brain juice on it will make sense: Thanos would survive far longer in the DCU (when attacking it) if he did NOT have the HOTU than if he did!
Yup ....as in, Thanos would last far longer using his own powers that he would if he was tapping into the HOTU.
How?
Well, because the moment he started using the HOTU it would INSTANTLY raise the ante, and due to the stakes involved bring in opponents that are beyond power.
By the time it was over even people like Michael D would seem totally powerless compared to the people that would come to DCU's aid. Thanos (with the HOTU) wouldn't last a minute. And yes, I know very well what the HOTU is.
Think of it this way .....imagine if you take a pistol and go rob a bank. Who will show up?
Simple ....cops with guns.
Now, imagine if you send a message saying that you have a tactical nuke and are camped in the Mohave desert, and that you intend to drive the nuke next week to a major metropolitan area and detonate it (killing millions of people).
Who will respond to your threat?
Well ....let's put it this way ....it will not be cops.
And if your threat is confirmed it will not even be the military.
And if they know the nuke is indeed powerful, and you are in fact in the Mohave desert .....there is a very good chance an executive decision will be made to obliterate your particular locus (in essence, you will be nuked ....better to save a city and nuke a patch of desert).
Sometimes being too powerful can be a weakness in and of itself.
Thanos goes down.
BTW: The result would be the same if Darkseid attacked the MU with the ALE. DS with the ALE would be (again, here comes that word) 'omnipotent.'
BUT, the very fact he is doing what he is doing would bring some players to the game that are just not the type to mess with.
(Oh ....and these people would NOT BE the Living Tribunal and the Spectre .....I am talking types that are beyond those two. And I can easily think of a number off the top of my head).
the onnly one who can stop this is God. and God doesnt get directly involved in either universe. i see ur rationale, but thanos did this with ease. no one oculd have opposed him in terms of power. he would absorb all dcu characters like he abosorbed marvel characters.
Believe me...if Thanos did try to use the HOTI in DC...it wouldn't work. The Presence would get involved...or grant Michael or Spectre the power necessary to deal with that threat. Not to mention the Great Evil Beast. The Source itself could at least stalemate it if not beat it out right.
ur talking crazy here. the herat was to powerful and it absorbed eveything. assuming it works in dc as it did in marvel only one with a shot is presence but hes not allowed in this fight. dc loses. the soucre what is the source going to do. its such a cheap copout. i remember in genesis when the source was dying, it isnt everything u think it is. it doesnt make decisions on its own.
