Thanos for the win? Despero seems to be above people like MM who is a highly regarded TP. So, can Despero mind rape somebody like Thanos for a win or would he need to use other measures to get the job done?
reality warps and other dominating attacks done to thanos usually get brushed off, he's a tank on all fronts.
and thanos can mindrape also, and being an eternal and a criminal from a young age, he had to learn how to use mental powers (as oppose to being born with them) and expanded upon them in his very extensive "self improvement" trainings/modifications. i would assume he came across a defense for mind intrusion throughout the several thousand years of his existence considering that thanos is all about covering all of his bases'.
Why not choose someone who isn't already a high-level telepath? That said, does Thanos actually have TP feats to put him above MM, who we know has lost to Despero in the TP department? I think he might be getting votes just on his reputation. If not, that's fine, but this isn't a "who wins overall" thread.

His TP's powerful enough to cause reality-warping like effects. (Mind Sync Time Warp, which KO'd intelligent Classic Drax.) He was able to force Captain Marvel back into Rick Jones with a snap of the fingers (which I assume has something to do with mental domination? There was no banging the bands together involved.) He's beaten Moondragon with the Mind Gem on the astral plane. And she's beaten Xavier with the Mind Gem to aid her. He was the one primarily responsible for fighting off Thor w/ PG's telepathic assault when they were on a reality controlled by Thor inside of Thor's own head. He's nearly mentally dominated Galactus, before Galan could realize what was happening. Moondragon without the Gem couldn't enter his mind until he gave her explicit permission to do so. Etc.
Oh, all of that was in chronological order, I think.
Not to mention Thanos' TP feats against Fallen One and Maker. More impressive is probably the fact that X-Man practically wet himself after taking a glimpse into Thanos' psyche. I don't think Despero is going to be able to mind-rape Thanos.

Ehem, agreed with evrything in ur post except this. Thanos didnt nearly dominate galactus at all. he tried to surprise attack him on the astral plane and would have been killed if he hadnt run away.
I wouldnt have brought this up, but before u know it, after seeing statements like this, some people who havent read the comic will go about claiming that thanos mindraped galactus............g has enough low showings no need to add on to them

Take another look through the comic. Those tendril-like objects nearly engulf and overwhelm Galactus, even after he realizes what was happening and starts to resist. Then, yeah, he overcomes it and all of that. Before Galactus could understand what was going on, though, Thanos 'nearly' had him.
Nothing with what I said was wrong. And it speaks to Thanos' skill a lot that he was able to be that subtle about it.

Hmmm. they do nearly engulf him but i think thats because galactus at that point was still underestimating thanos and not really trying all that much. When he got serious he easily overcame him and would have killed him. Though i guess ur right as u didnt say anything wron per say. Still i think that the words "nearly dominated" send the wrong message.

i'd say thanos was certainly getting the better of galactus [in a literal mind-rape fashion], before galactus had enough time to actively try and stop him. once galactus was able to gather himself long enough to counter, thanos was easily owned.
Well Digi the reason i made this thread cause of one i made with MM against Thanos in a TP battle. Most said thanos but even then some said MM. So, being that despero is above MM i figured it would be close in many peoples eyes
In a telepathic battle, where nothing but telepathy is allowed, Thanos would lose.
In a regular battle however Despero would not be able to win by using just telepathy. Thanos is a strong enough telepath that he can put his telepathy in complete defense, which would make himself practically impervious to telepathic attacks at the cost of telepathic offense. This seems to be Thanos' default mode as well, all telepathic defense.
