Classic Thanos runs the durability gauntlet...

In identical fashion to ongoing thread concerning Thors durability (excellent thread idea keiththegreat), lets test out Classic Thanos's durability...

In this senario, Thanos will be utilizing his very best shielding technology (the shielding he called into play against Galactus); he will be required to stand there and withstand the full brunt of each attack if his shielding is overwhelmed...

At what point will he be:

a) KO'ed...
b) Killed...

1) The entire Justice League (during the "Death of Superman" arc) concentrating fire on him...
2) The Disintegrator Beam from the Asgardian Destroyer (at normal size/power level)...
3) Hal Jordans "Krona Buster"...
4) Thor's strongest God Blast (the exact same one he used on Exitar)...
5) Odin concentrating the full might of the Odinforce through his Sceptre of Power...
6) The Disintegrator Beam from the 2000ft Asgardian Destroyer...
7) The combined blast from the 4th Celestial Host that melted the 2000ft Asgardian Destroyer...
8) The blast that the Anti-Monitor withstood at the Dawn of Time...
9) The "Billions of Dimensions" buster that Classic Molecule Man attacked Classic Beyonder with...

Stops at 7 in both. Keep in mind, he withstood a blast from Omega (sated by Genis Vell with Cosmic Awareness, as easily being twice as powerful as Galactus).

^I thought statements meant nothing to you and that unless it happened on-panel, it was bull.

KMC Thanos takes all these attacks combined and doesnt yield.

He gets to 7 and stops.

Even if you don't buy that he was EXACTLY twice as powerful as Galactus, he was a Galactus level being and Thanos not only survived his attack, he was fully conscious (but badly hurt).

He gets to 7 and stops.

So, in other words you're a hypocrite I see.

Thanos' shields enabled him to survive an attack from that Galactus/Thanos clone and he wasn't even KOed.

Thanos casually tanked a planet-busting explosion during the last issue of his mini series. Personally, I'd put that [well] above surviving a blast from Omega.

While I think the Gas Giant exploding is impressive.. espeically without shielding and casually. Let's not forget that he NEEDED his shielding against Omega to prob survive. That isn't said, but one might assume he would've been KO'd or killed eventually. He didn't need his shields for the planetary explosion. Let's also not forget that Galactus has wrrecked galaxies during his fights... we can't forget the herald my rage blasts... So I'm not sure a planet exploding is more than a pissed off Galactus blasts. Who knows i guess.

Good point. I guess I'm just looking more at collateral damage.

Here an entire planet(+) was destroyed:

Whereas Omega's blast only left a fairly small crater on the surface of the planet:

Regarding that gas giant exploding, Skeet survived that blast unharmed.

Surviving a blast from a Galactus level being > surviving some planetary explosion IMHO.

You realize that collateral damage isn't a good indicator of overall power right? Pre Retcon MM's "billion dimension slagging attack" against the Beyonder didn't even singe the walls in Marsha's apartment.

Skreet is uber as hell, bro. She was beating the christ out of Fallen One in that very same issue, before Thanos ordered her to stop.

I disagree.

Skreet said shed had survived worse. The effects of the blast were felt light years away which is well beyond planetary

Again, Thanos stated that Omega was about twice as powerful as Galactus and Genis Vell with his Cosmic Awareness confirmed that Omega dwarfed Galactus in power :

We can safely assume it wasn't an empty statement or hyperbole. So surviving that blast > any planetary explosion IMHO. I can't believe more people don't agree with me on this.

That may well be, but in this instance, the reason why there wasn't more collateral damage was because Thanos TPed the entire battlefield away from the Earth because Warlock stated Thanos didn't think the planet would survive the showdown :

Just because a character possesses "x" amount of power, doesn't mean all of that power goes into every single energy blast that character manifests. For instance, Captain Marvel also endured a shot of Omega's eye-beams:

Does that mean he endured a >>> planet-level blast?

Earth may not have survived the entire showdown, but it would have DEFINITELY survived the single blast Thanos endured-- as only a small crater was left in its wake (this is when collateral damage displays become important.) You see, I know earth would've survived that blast, because the planet they were on survived it. 😉

Omega was distracted.

This is what happened when Omega got serious and wanted Thanos dead :

THREE personal force fields AND his armor and even still he was tore up and bleeding. Common sense says this blast was >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gas giant exploding.
