But didn't Annihilus have Thanos' help. He was the one that convinced T and A to take out Big G so they can use him as their Doomsday Weapon. A lot of Annihilus' success came through sheer luck. I mean what if T and A said no, or what if they died in the Kylnn raid like Antiphon did? Annihilus would be SOoL
As for the thread topic, Lord Mar-vell wins IMHO.

Lord Mar-Vell had the Undying Ones, Magus, the Universal Church of Truth and his entire universe if you want to get technical about who had more help. What if the Undying Ones told Lord Mar-Vell to go FTAGHN himself?
But that's sort of the whole point with Lord Mar-vell, he was their Avatar like Thanos was/is Death's Avatar. So the Undying Ones and their universe backing him is sort of the whole point with him
With Annihilus it was nothing but luck. Luck that Death told Thanos to play along with Annihilus, luck that T and A were housed in the Kylnn AND not destroyed like Antiphon, luck that T and A had beef with Galactus (who happened to be the target of Annihilus' goal), luck that instead of incinerating Thanos on the spot they heard him out and took out Galactus.

^ Which he specifically requested from the Undying Ones. Guess Lord Mar-Vell on his own without outside assistance is a pu$$y then.
Lord Mar-Vell was lucky that he tricked his idiotic Earth heroes into joining him for the Necropsy; without which that universe's Death wouldn't have been destroyed in the first place.
Duh! Captain Marvel is a weak feeb compared to Lord Mar-vell. In fact, I HATED the original Captain Marvel because he was weaksauce trash. The Undying One's Avatar of Life Lord Mar-vell was freaking bad@ss.
Exactly. But that was all planned out. Annihilus' stuff was dumb luck

Actually Annihilus was greater than Nova Prime, and Quasar before he was hurt by Galactus' universe destroying blast. Remember their initial meeting when Anni devoured Quasar, and made Nova retreat?
To be fair though, if Mar-Vell was hit by a blast from a furious Galactus, Nova would have likely beaten him as well. Annihilus devoured Quasar, and set his sights on Nova, who had no choice but to flee from him, and he didn't have possession of the quantum bands at that time.
I think that whoever won this, it wouldn't be a stomp.
If this battle comes down to who kicked Nova's ass the best -which is pathetic- then I'd have to lean towards Mar-vell. He fought the better more polished Nova Prime while casually brushing off Richies attacks and waltzing through his defenses. That, plus the Surfer and Magus feats.
