I agree, thanos is out of hulk league when ALL powers are available. In this match he is restricted to h2h.
As for the surfer comment, didn't thanos flee during annihilation due to surfers power output that was creating black holes? Surfer is on a different level imo.
Everyone has taken punches from beings more powerful than them...it was a good showing for thanos but it was nothing more than that and it sure as hell doesn't prove that he can beat hulk in a physical match.
Why bring up professor hulk when he is the weakest of the hulks? Its impressive that he took on thing and professor hulk but that isn't anything comparable to what wwh went through during his arc "while holding back".
What makes you believe that sentry was holding back? If anything, hulk was holding back... he was the one trying to reason with sentry and was asking sentry to stop fighting in the beginning and was letting him blitz him through buildings.
By the way, I still don't get the sentry comment... about him depowering hulk. How can you depower someone and them going super saiyan a couple of panels later, doesn't make sense to me.
Ok, you last post, I'm not getting. Even though hulk is a trillion tonner at his base, why would he use that strength against someone when he is a hero? Hulk holds back just like supes holds back or any other hero. He isn't a killer like thanos. He had plenty of opportunities to kill. He could have killed zom strange, extremis ironman, even herc said tha hulk was holding back against him. He could have killed thing, the fantastic four, skaar, the xmen, etc, etc...
Thanos wins his breif scuffle with pg Thor and long fight with the doppleganger shows he puts Hulk down, it's not like Hulk has the power to punch Thanos down( even if he stood there a gave him 6 free shots aswell)
1. Thanos didn't flee for fear of Surfer.. I'm not sure where you got that from. The point still stands… We have seen nothing that suggest that Surfer would do any better against Thanos now, then before. We have the head of Marvel specifically saying Surfer was given no power upgrade. With that said, I see no reason why it would go any different
2. You keep saying Prof. Hulk is weak and thus this has no bearing on the fight, but it does, and very much so. Follow alone carver please… Prof. Hulk has impressive feats.. Thing has impressive feats…. Even if you say that Hulk is the weakest.. Adding The Thing's strength… would certainly make for any strength inferiority Prof Hulk has with other Hulk, or at least close the gap. Thanos EASILY overpowered and MOCKED their STRENGTH. Proving he is A LOT more powerful than those two strong guys COMBINED. Now, WWH is the strongest, cool, then this should bring him around Thanos level then, as Thanos himself is considerably stronger than Prof Hulk and The Thing. Understand?
3. I don't ever remember saying Hulk was depowered or his powers taken away. I never recall ever saying such a thing. What I did say.. was Hulk burnt out and reverted back to Banner. In other words.. He used up all the anger he had and was reduced to Banner. The expending of energy to fight sentry and the damage he took, made this happen. However, and this is the key…. A NEW.. A NEW thing came to the attention of the Hulk that made him even more pissed than he was prior. This is why he was able to again become the Hulk and WBH no less. I hope this clears it up, as this is exactly supported by on panel evidence.
4. Lastly, your point proved my point and what I was saying which you didn’t even realize. You claim Hulk holds back his strength and his punches from reaching these trillion level punches.. Yet, Thanos doesn't… Cool. Now Thanos dopple was more powerful than Thanos… and as you say.. certainly not holding back punches and has no issue killing people… Yet, he wasn’t able to even come close to putting Thanos down. Lets not forget… Magus smacking Thanos twice with the IG.. and it not KOing him much less killing him. Point is, there zero evidence nor any indication that WWH would be able to KO Thanos.. let alone kill him. He's taken shots from far far more powerful beings that WWH.
LOL you haven't see the many Thanos one shot pimp hand scans? or how he regularly amp punches the shit out of people? I don't know what to say the guy does both i actually think he does more punching since his blasts are so powerful any herald or below couldn't tank to many of them before turning into dust and the comic would be pretty short
Cant you read ?, if you didnt cut short my quote you would undrstand i said Thanos wins(as in this matchup) due to his scuffle with PG Thor and fight with the Doppleganger as part of my proof.
