Who can give Power Gem Thanos a good physical fight?

[Cyrusbales]

Longshot, he'd just get lucky and win somehow. Also any probability shifting characters could shift the probabilities in favour of themselves, andd make themselves stronger so they'd win?

 

[Phenomenal]

The power gem is good but not THAT good. Trion Juggernaut would waste anyone with it

Unilord Surfer would do the job alos

Guyverjy, How powerful is UniLord Surfer?

Do you actually think he can take a Power Gem Thanos?

 

[Phenomenal]

Can anyone post scans of Power Gem Thanos in action?

I'm pretty sure the Force Gem granted him more than just "Force" it allowed him to move quicker and boosted the powers he already had.

Otherwise how did he turn Thor into Glass (boosting his transmutation power) and Nova into Lego?

Thanos was augmented by the Force Gem and he could use it better than almost anyone. He was doing things like growing in size, teleporting Thor's hammer away, dropping Drax and Firelord through time, all sorts, heck he was still tagged by Wolverine.

Ability to change probabilty doesn't mean you can alter reality. What are the chances that a person can get lucky and get stronger than someone like Thanos by altering probablity...absolutely 0. If there was maybe 1% chance, he can make it happen but you are not making any sense here.

The True Savage Hulk, where he was able to crack Onslaught's Armor with one punch.

Wasn't that when he had the whole Infinity Gauntlet and not just the Power Gem?

The True Savage Hulk, where he was able to crack Onslaught's Armor with one punch.

Bah, why do ppl always bring that up . Onslaught was evolving on the inside, the armor was a diversion. He wanted the armor cracked, but not before he was given time to evolve enough, that whole fight went the way Onslaught wanted until the end, I'm pretty sure even Richards made a comment to that effect. Not that it wasn't impressive, but in reality look what Onslaught did to Juggernaut, he could have done something similar to Hulk if he wanted IMO.

Not that I'm trying to defend Onslaught, it's just anytime ppl question how strong Hulk is that's pulled out . Honestly while Hulk has no limits, I think there's just places he won't reach. Think about it, he gets ticked and gets stronger, he's been severely angry before but still be in the 200-300 class or so. How far can a man keep getting angry? While Hulk's strength has no limits as it's fueled by rage, a human can only get so ticked meaning his strength is limited by his mood and his mood is limited by his mind as long as he's sane. I think there are some things like Thanos with power gem, that are just far out of Hulk's league, he could possibly get near that strength, but only way I could see is if Thanos was ripping Betty in half in front of his eyes then desecrating the remains or something, Thanos with the gems destroyed, what, billions of lives? Plus Thanos is immortal, so it depends on your definition of defeating, if someone matched him in strength, he litterally can't die.

Thanos with only his natural power has held his own against Thor and the Thing at the same time. The Power Gem enhances any power the user desires without limit presumably however subject to both to both conceive of the power level and to actually choose to tap that much. Since Thanos is an Eternal his power flow from both cosmic and psionic sources. Enhancing these forces not only increases strength but also durability. I don't think that it would be at all difficult for Thanos to enhance his power beyond what Juggernaut could hurt. Thanos also has superhuman reflexes and agility allowing him to beat Juggernaut to the punch as well as evading whenever he chooses. Juggernaut might survive the fight uninjured but he would not be a threat or a challenge. Even without the power gem Thanos could probably stalemate any version of Juggs.

Its arguable that Thanos's Durability is already superior to that of the Classic Juggernaught, i.e. i don’t think Nimrod would have been capable of subduing Thanos, in the same way he beat the Juggernaught. In relation to the fight, this has already happened, i.e. the original fight of the Infinity Gauntlet, has similar circumstances. There aren't many characters that i can see beating Thanos is this form, especially considering the fact he nearly able to match Odin (On home turf) with lesser amounts of power. From D.C. only a Ion / Shazam level being would be able to get the job done.

During that whole fight Jean Grey had turned Banner "off" in the Hulk so he was no longer bound by the constraints of Banner's humanity, thats why he was able to crack Onslaughts armor. At the time the Hulk had no end to his rage.

But Thor has beaten Shazam....

 

[Tropico]

Thor beat Capt. Marvel, not Shazam. Big difference.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I don't remember the power gem ever boosting anything other than physical strength.

Trion juggernaut is invincible.

Cytorrak > Thanos with Power gem

Now it's been a while since I read it, but wasn't Thanos using solely the PG when he put the beat down on the heroes in the IG mini? Looked like it did more than just increase his physical might.

 

[The Question]

No. He was simply doing about 10% of what he was capable of with each of the gems. With the reality gem, he could have wiped them all out of existence, but he simply opted to turn them into weird ****. WIth the time gem, he could have frozen them and picked them off like cans on a fence, but instead his simply transported them into other periods. With the space gem, he could have teleported all of them into a super nova, but instead he took away Thor's hammer. With the power gem, he could have crushed them all into powder with his pinky, but instead he smacked them around a bit. You get the idea.

So you're saying that Thanos is actually a half-decent kind of guy.

Not really, no. He gave the heroes a sporting chance because he wanted to impress his girlfriend.

You sure about that? His quote makes it sound as though he cut himself off of the other gem's and was using solely the PG.

"I need only cut myself off from all sensory input from Time, Space, Reality, Thought, and Soul. I would retain limitless power, yet not know my enemies next move. That would allow them a .05% chance for victory!"

Read it again. He cut himself off from the sensory input of those gems. Thus, he can't see across the universe, predict the future, or read the heroes' minds. He can still use them, and did. Remember, he tossed Drax and Firelord 65 million years in the past and transformed wolverine's bones into rubber.

He did, didn't he? I remember that now.

Yeah, he was using all of the gems.

So Thanos was not just using the power Gem against earth's heroes?

How did he turn Thor into Glass and Nova into legos?

Reality Gem.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that the power jem can't alter matter.

 

[Phenomenal]

Reality Gem.

So Thanos was using all of the Gems powers at once but turned of the Sensory?

I guess that is why he shrank the Hulk!

Can someione explain how he did this in Battle against earth's heroes in detail, or post scans of the actual battle?

I read the comic a while ago my memeory is pretty shotty Thankyou.

 

[Vanguard07]

It on it's own is incapable of it but it can be used to augment any abilities you already had. Like lets say you could alter matter to a small scale already and got a hold of (and mastered) the power gem. The gem would make your matter manipulation abilities would become much more powerful and you'd likely be able to greatly increase the scale and degree of your control.

Any of the infinity gems would make you insanely formidable if you knew how to use them correctly. One of my pet peeves is how unimaginative people are when they talk about the applications of the gems.

Like the power gem just increases strength or the space gem just lets you teleport.
It's not true. The gems give you complete power and control over their respective categories.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Wolverine, duh

You cant be serious.Wolverine is just a pawn of Marvel.

Hulk,Thor or the Silver Surfer might stand a chance,only them.

 

[Phenomenal]

I wonder can someone really explain to me what Thanos used, was it just the power gem or was it all the gems?
