I'm afraid that would be difficult for Thanos unless they just happen to be in his pocket.

Still, this battle seems far too slanted in Superman's favor, and as I recall, there was a restriction on how far apart the power levels could be.

Depends. Is this "lose to a monkey in single combat" PC Supes? Or "sneeze a galaxy away" PC Supes?

Ah, but Thanos couldn't even just happen to have the HOTU in his pocket (which by the way, no one really knows what happened to it after Thanos' sacrifice, and considering he turned up alive...), because of the standard equipment rule. If you think about it, these rules are heavily biased against heroes and villains like Thanos who are characterized by their wits and being one step ahead. Instead, brute force is favored in arbitrary battles of blow to blow, despite it's being only one type of battle.

Dude, what don't you get about this?
THOTI is not part of Thanos's "standard equipment".

If you create a thread that gives a person prep time and conditions where they fight well the results change.

Why not have more inclusive rules for battles, giving the burden of restriction to the thread creator? For example, it could be assumed prep time is always there unless stated otherwise. Same for power-ups. And without these things, what good are a large portion of characters?

Gamesmaster is right about the thing with the writers, they can write what they want, so DC would never allow PC-Superman to loose to Thanos, the writers would have to find a way to make PC-Superman win. Thanos with the IG AND the HOTU would loose to God, PC-Superman as DCs icon is euqal to God in crossovers like this, sooooo he would beat IG-HOTU-Thanos, PIS FTW .
Thanos without the IG or HOTU stands no chance.
I voted for Superman, woahh don't be surprised :P.

Because, if Thanos has the IG or THOTI, there is a very limited number of beings that can beat him.
If a thread starter wants these things, they can specify it in a particular thread.

That's dangerous talk, Gamesmaster. We can't risk upsetting the natural order. Who knows what could happen.

I see your point, too, Galan. If ppl just put Thanos, then few would be able to beat him if it's assumed he has the HOTU unless otherwise stated, and this wouldn't be an accurate portrayal of Thanos most of the time.
Still, the slant against battles of wit bothers me. Perhaps if only prep time is included unless otherwise stated...but this would slant against brawn, as Thanos with prep could beat nearly anyone. How perplexing.

Exactly.

Well, PC Superman wins given the conditions. How sad that Thanos had to be reduced to such conditions. He had a decent chance with prep.
Well, PC Superman kills Thanos, but there's always a next time with Thanos (and maybe some prep, too, as he plots revenge).

IVe' been saying this for ever. THanos with no prep isn't really all that powerful and would lose to beings like DS easily.

Don't feel bad about it, PC Superman had powers so ridiculous that the DC writers themselves had to stop it. When you casually hurl a neutron star thousands of miles with just a baseball style throw, as a young boy, then grow up to be even stronger... then there isn't much sub-cosmic that can stand up to him. He was basically stronger than everybody else unless the writers said he was weaker than someone specifically. When you can literally blow a sun towards someone, as an attack, using just super-breath, well... what the heck can withstand that kind of power?
You would need a skyfather level being to defeat him basically.

Mongul fell into this category:
