I don't know he Thanos has a soul, but he so, strange steals it. He can steal all Thanos's power, actually. And quan, give the whole "Strange said he couldn't beat Thanos" shit a rest. It's meaningless. Doom sure thought Strange could beat Thanos. I think, just like the IG feats, a character's self doubt shouldn't be a viable debate tactic.
We both know the vishanti isn't higher than death so don't post things you don't even agree with.
Strange isn't given added powers and isn't seen as the avatar of life story to story. Thanos has always been with death and besides just being called an avatar of death he is immune to death and beat the snot out of life's champion, mar-vell.
Strange was also outsmarted and beaten by WW Hulk. LOL.
Doom's henchmen have beaten the snot out of Strange.
Despite all this posturing Strange himself agrees he can't beat Thanos.
Thanos has beaten the beyonder aka the maker on panel. abc logic doesn't apply since strange himself knows he can't beat Thanos. No shame in admitting inferiority to marvel's premiere badass, Thaney Thanos.
Yes, yes and Wolverine stabbed Thanos. He you want to low ball, let's do it. If you still want my respect, let's have a friendly fukkin debate. First, the fact the bots entered his house is BS. the entire Avengers couldn't do that. Stranged said GOD HIMSELF couldn't do that.And they didn't beat the shit out of him. I agree, he destroyed those characters, physically. If ANYONE engages physically, they'l lose.
I was using your logic. i.e he Strange says it, it must be true. As for wwhulk, Strange's weakness is compassion. He broke his hands cuz hulk, as well as the writers knew Strange could end the whole thing in seconds. Also, bad writing cuz Strange doesn't need his hands to caste spells. And being a good guy, you won't see many blood lust debts like Thanos.
Plus Doom w prep ambushed Strange. So yeah. Means nothing. I have an idea, quan. Let's post scenarios of how we think the fight goes and the other gives his rebutal on why that wouldn't work and so on. How's that sound? In first.
Scenario one: As soon as they enter the battle field, Doc's shields go up. It's possible Thanos can blast Strange before he can react...no problem. The eoa reacts at lightspeed and flys around to intercept any blast shot at Strange. It's able to take in limitless energy. It also can eat people and send them to another universe. While this is happening, Strange stop time, walks over and destroys Thanos by saying "Satanish, take him". That's my first one.
2. Same as first. He shields up, which can tank galactus's blast. Unleashes the eye to run interference. Which gives him time to absolutely mind rape Thanos by making him feel every bit of pain and torture Thanos has ever inflicted. It worked on Galactus, it'll work on Thanos. He then has many options whilst thanos is in the fetal position.
Third: Strange steals his power from behind his shields. Easy as pie. I don't need to name all the people way above Thanos that Strange has power stolen.
Six: Becomes 100 percent ZOM.. Thanos literally get's stomped. Oh, before I do another, remember Strange is a master techno-mage, too. So it's possible he can shut Thanos's tech off.
DAMN IT QUAN! wait, I remember another: Strange puts Thanos in an unbreakable bubble that strips the person inside of his cosmic power. Like he did to zombie Surfer, who tried to blitz Strange but wasn't fast enough cuz of Stranges pre cog
Stabbing Thanos isn't beating Thanos. That's the difference as I give examples of strange being beaten not stabbed, slapped, or bitten.
It doesn't matter what one writer has said when another writer can do just the opposite. Doom's clever so give Doom credit for having Strange beaten before him.
I wasn't using this as a means for Thanos to win he doesn't need to trick Strange like ww hulk had to. The point is strange was completely outsmarted and then beaten to a pulp. Strange can beat ww hulk all out I admit but ww hulk isn't even near Thanos' league he's a one dimensional brick.
Fine doc's shields can be up. Thanos' power as death's avatar easily breach them. While depowered he throttled mar-vell the same guy who oneshotted the Magus with one blast.
Since you want to cbr this Thanos encases him in forceblock. It worked on power gem Thor who throttled Strange with prep and a team.
2.He can engage Thanos' mind all he wants. Thanos breaks people's minds and has broken the Maker's, Moondragon's, Fallen One's, etc. He also adapted to the supreme power through sheer force of will meaning Strange doesn't have a chance at even making Thanos break a sweat here.
3 badass telepaths from gotg could only mindlock him while weakened from a cc ko to a mindless Thanos. While still depowered these three couldn't keep him down so good luck proving anything here since it hasn't ever happened to Thanos at full power.
Thanos breaks strange.
Name the people whose power he has stolen. I mean he didn't steal the doombots power, ww hulk's, power gem Thor's, etc. Thanos is death's avatar an entire universe wanted to destroy him and came up empty so good luck proving a guy who struggles with ninjas can do it when Strange himself states I can't beat Thanos.
Knock knock. Who's there ? Quanny. Thanos is going to b------k Stephen.
Immune to death even if you were true which it isn't since he's taken blasts from Galactus, Odin, and Tyrant all more powerful than Steph-o.
He can become another character he isn't beating the avatar of death who is immune to death. Strange has never ever shut down Thanos' tech before nor does he even believe he can beat Thanos. It's also a last resort to pull the Zom card but I can see you're desperate so carry on with the futility.
Thanos blasts him to death.
What applies to the surfer doesn't apply to Thanos. Abc logic fail. It's like saying Odin kos Thanos like he did easily to Surfer even though he never ko'd Thanos.
1. Thanos probably can, after a while, break Strange's shields. He doesn't have a while. He has seconds before he's frozen. And Thanos needed a gun to force block. Not part of his standard equip. So, we agree Strange wins that scenario. 2. None of the people you mentioned are on Strange's level. He's a multiversal TP. Add the EOA and he's got skyfather level TP. Either way, Thanos's mind isn't better than Galactus's or Aggomatto. 3. Name some people Strange has taken power from? Seriously? Shuma, his Infinite, Cap Universe....Dormm. All more powerful than Thanos. He absolutely can steal Thanos's power. But it's black magic. 4. Thanos can beat the entire Vishanti? Please. They're three skyfathers. 5. Nothing evil can take a blast from the EOA. If he can't die, then he's k.o'd. It's not some energy blast. 6. He can zom out if he's forced. And whether or not he has shut down his tech doesn't mean he can't. 7. I can agree. Still, it could work. anyway, now YOU name the scenarios in which Thanos wins. GO!
