Thanos was so far above the ladder of any Apoc (be it God Apoc, Classic Apoc, depowered Apoc, prepowered Apoc, Fonz Apoc, Bond Apoc, etc) that it isn't even funny.
When Apocalypse was stalemating Loki, first appearance Thanos was blowing up planets, and beating Thor, Thing, Iron Man at the same time... etc.

Co-sign. Apocalypse could hold his own for awhile against low-end cosmics, and beat some of them. But he's nowhere near Thanos or Darkseid. Apoc vs. Green Lanterns.....no idea. I'm tempted to say Apocalypse loses, but he could win that fight. Obviously not against the high end GLs, but he could beat some of the corp. Not all Green Lanterns are really good at their powers. If the yellow weakness was still in force, then he could win.

the only reason you all doubt APOC is because he was set up to lose to the crappy x-men.....APOC can do anything that thanos could and more.
if you take an average person who never even heard about comic books and just gave them a list of their respective powers with a pic of them (no bio, or feats) they would pick APOC 10/10 (APOC also looks cooler....thanos is dressed like a joke)
Could he beat Surfer to an inch of his life, and only keep him alive because he wanted to bring a prize for Death?
Could he put Galactus through his own ship and then into a planet where he bounces a couple more hundred feat?
Could he even destroy a planet?
Could he punch Captain Marvel from Saturn to Earth?
Funny... so would this list consist of all of these "supposed" powers Apoc has?
Thanos would still win that one.
Actually... maybe not, I remember a bio saying Apoc could regenerate from a drop of blood...
Or no, Thanos also has complete control of his molecule structure, and really doesn't need it (unlike Apoc), since his duribility has really no need for a healing factor.

Oh no. Now you did it. Ash is gonna beat your ass. AS I recall, HE and Apoc had one fight, which was pretty much a stalemate. Or slightly in Apoc's favor. But I like the High E. he's a cool character.

Co-signed. I will NEVER argue Apocalypse can beat Thanos or is on his level.
Yes, it would make most of the current Apoc PIS, wouldn't it? I'm personally praying the Celestials boost him and put at least back to his old levels, if not above them.

Umm... if you reverse the roles, Apoc would still only planetary...
He wouldn't be as smart, nor would he be as powerful (since Thanos powers himself up, and he got a powerup from Death).
He would be as powerful as Thanos would be with no outside power.
Since he wouldn't have Celestial tech, and I doubt he would follow Death like Thanos did.
