Once Again: What Makes Thanos Superior to Superman?

I've asked this question a dozen times and I've gotten two dozen wrong or insufficient answers. What makes believe Thanos is superior to Superman in any way? What makes one Think Superman can't beat or stalemate the Titan? Is Thanos faster? No way. Is thanos Stronger? Not according to feats. Is Thanos smarter? Not really. Is Thanos more durable? Not at all. Is Thanos capable of stronger blasts? Maybe, but I doubt it. Is Thanos an owner of a powerset as varied? Hell no. The one thing Thanos has that Superman doesn't is highend TP. Which doesn't matter since SM's all but immune to TP. Am I wrong here? I just don't get it. He I an wrong, I'd be glad. For I HATE Superman. Your thoughts.

I couldn't agree more.

Superman is just as strong (probably a hell of a lot stronger btw), much much faster, just as durable (or it will be close) and at least as versatile as Thanos.

Thanos is a slow brick. The only thing that kept him alive - well, more or less - is his insane durability. He's a lazy fighter too, he mostly stands there and takes it.

Thanos also regularly comes out on top against people who'd be an even fight for Superman.

Thanos hasn't fought that much people under his own power, he mostly uses tech or powerful artifacts, and if he does, there's a lot of PIS and CIS going on.

He owned Thor and Thing, Warrior Madness Thor with power gem, owned Fallen One and Surfer.

In a very old comic. Lot has happened since, Thor has Thanos sent flying with his hammer. And Thing is a non factor.

No he didn't. Liar.

He blasted Fallen One and that was it. Do you think something like that would work on Supeman ? Seriously ?

And FYI, if Surfer would fight Superman just like the way he fought Thanos - that is like a brainless brawler - Superman would own Surfer just as hard.

cosigned.

superman may have better feats, but if they meet in a comic, thanos will be depicted as superior.

Thanos has far less exploitable weak points.

Superman is vulnerable to magic based assaults, and anything to do with solar energy manipulation (loading him up with red solar energy will depower him, etc). There's also the kryptonite problem. if you have it, or can replicate it's frequency, he's boned.

Thanos can't be taken out that easily (Drax plot device aside) a KO has to be done through brute force. This has proven very hard to do, since Thanos can use some kind of cosmic energy to Amp his stats. The limits of this energy haven't yet been defined. Superman cannot do this.

Thanos is also an eternal, with innate control over his body down to a molecular level, and the inherent ability to teleport. Superman has neither of these advantages.

Thanos is also a substantially better strategist and is sitting on a pile of advanced tech as standard issue. He has shields that can tank hits that can one shot planets (see the Thanos vs. Champion fight) Guns that can immobilize an enraged, power gem equipped thor (Thor vs. Thanos fight) and can BFR an opponent pretty much anywhere (Too numerous to mention).

This is why Thanos > Superman by anyone reasonable.

The only thing thats debatable is how fast thanos is, but his stats (including speed) don't appear to have set limits. He's not displayed as speedster, but opponents who ARE, or should have the ability to (Surfer) have never been able to overcome him using speed as an advantage. When opponents than DO have a speed advantage consistently can't or don't use it against you, there's probably a reason.

Thing isn't a non-factor I think Thor+Thing are formidable opponents and he owned them both. I don't see Superman doing that.

Absolutely, I mean if I actually got the info incorrect I'm obvoulsy lying. I think I'll start calling random strangers liars now, you've inspired me.

Anyway I'm quite sure he did....but of course I could be wrong. Wow!

No but Fallen One is a herald lvl character and I don't see Superman owning him that hard.

Oh I see so you like passing judgement on people you don't know about and you like making assumptions and arguing that they're fact, ok got it.

Yea I'm quite sure that would happen eventhough there are loads of other examples of him not fighting like that.
