meh they say if thor used his powers to there fullest potential he'd be a pretty touch costomer cant his hammer steal souls or something even thanos is scared of having his soul stolen.
This statement is almost as silly as this subject of this thread. The gap between Odin and Thanos is greater than the large gap between Thanos and Thor. Whereas Thor can hurt (and under the right circumstances, kill) Thanos, Thanos simply doesnt have the raw power needed to even slightly hurt Odin.
On the other hand, Odin utterly fried Thanos. That, when Odin took pity and stopped roasting him (and gave him a chance to give up), Thanos was able to heal himself and slowly stand up is more a reflection of Thanos's courage (or masochistic tendencies) than anything else.
If Thanos saw Thor coming then he would certainly win. Thor's only chance would be to take Thanos down physically would be by surprise (such as in IG when Spiderman distracted him) or if by energy blast, have other's distract Thanos while Thor uses the God Force.
Funny how that never comes up with Thor Vs anyone on this forum but Thanos. I'll remember that one in the next Thor Vs anyone with super speed argument of which Thanos hardly shows any by the way.
A 10/10 victory would imply that theres nothing in Thor's powerset that could score a KO on Thanos which clearly isn't the case.
In a pitched battle, 10/10 for Thanos is quite a possibility. Thanos is ruthless and would be almost never make a mistake or hold back. Quite the opposite with Thor.
Right. The problem is we're talking about Thanos using 100% of everything he has against a Thor using Mjolnir like a baseball bat and not the beastly weapon it is which is typical of Thor I admit. In that instance, 10/10 is a-ok. Against a Thor using Mjolnir the way it should be used, 10/10 isn't possible for anyone below a top tier skyfather or at least anyone without ridiculous super speed.
It must also be said that the upper limit of Thor's power hasnt been fully explored. For example, when fighting Drax and Maxam, Thor suddenly became much stronger than he was a moment before just because he got ticked off. Whereas initially Drax and Maxam were able to land simultaneous blows on him and together grab a hold of him, when Thor decided to break loose, he did so effortlessly and in the process knocked out Maxam (Drax was sent flying) one punch later Drax was KOd as well. How many people have KOd Drax with the Power Gem with a single punch. Earlier, Thor had KOd the silver surfer with one punch as well.
Thanos is not necessarily physically stronger than Thor or even as strong (when has Thanos beaten up Drax so easily?) but he is much tougher than Thor, Drax, Maxam, SS, etc and has the power to kill any of them. Add to that his ruthlessness and Thanos becomes an almost unbeatable package.
Thanos nearly matched Odin, so on paper he's above Thor in most respects. He's very calm and strategic in a fight, while Thor's wild temper and lust for battle can get the better of him.
Thor has managed to take Thanos when he uses mjolnir more creatively - absorbing all the energy being blasted at him, then returning it for a K.O. for example. Godblast is damn good too, if it hits the mark. But yes, I agree Thanos has the edge in majority of matchups.
It looks like this, really:
Thanos>>>Thor.
Thanos = King Thor. (Possible stalemate.)
Rune King Thor>>>Thanos.
