Subject: Thanos is Skyfather level (my argument) Posted Sun Dec 27, 2009 at 08:04:16 am EST (Viewed 188 times) |

Ok so I know Thanos is mainly considered to be at Teambuster level on the boards but I tend to think we are selling him short has he has a lot more going for him than say WWH or Doomsday. I happen to think Thanos crosses over into the Skyfather level category, Im not saying he's up there with Odin but I do think he makes it in to the low end - heres a few reasons why (& a couple of links): Strength -Able to physically match both Thor and Thing pre-resurrection -Knocks the Champion of the Universe flying back with one punch (Earth heroes had a job to hurt him with punches) -Holds back both Hulk and Thing in Infinity Crusade http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/3678/strength7qj7.jpg Durability -Unharmed by Surfers blast http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/9489/durability2nm6.jpg -Survives blasts from Omega and Galactus both top end Cosmics -Survives Blasts and physical attacks by Tyrant and Odin both High end Skyfather level beings -Absorbed the Heart of the Universe -Survived a black hole with a few cuts and bruises Energy Projection -Blasts Galactus out of his ship and across a planet http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1365/energy291ol2.jpg -Helps Free in-betweener from his 'prison construct' -Destroys an ironman level being with one shot http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8937/energy24zr9.jpg -KOs Thing and Thor with eye beams http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/835/energy7bq2.jpg Energy Manipulation -Turns a Skrull to stone - Thanos created a house from nothing (Infinity Abyss) -Heals the Cleric of wounds (Thanos series) http://img408.imageshack.us/i/3jk2.jpg/ -Shuts down the Beyonder and traps her inside of herself - Stops Thors hammer by raising his hand http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/9413/energy18bb3.jpg Intelligence - where to start... -Found the biological application of the Power Cosmic -Created a Galactus Clone (however absurd) -Gained Godhood/Omnipotence 3 times -Has the knowledge stolen from the 'Oracle', from the Infinity well etc -Galactus accepts to follow Thanos' lead against Hunger due to Thanos' understanding of inter-dimensional parasitic creatures lol -Outsmarting the Elders of the Universe Mind powers -Defeated Moondragon in a mind duel -Destroys Pips mind http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/5026/energy6jy7.jpg -Mentally enslaves the Fallen (a Herald level being) -Destroys Drax's Mind Technological/Scientific -Teleportation tech (huge range) -Forcefields capable of with standing a shot from Galactus and Omega http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5219/energy25iz7.jpg http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/6706/energy31uw6.jpg -Forcefields capable of imprisoning Hulk and Namor -Gun capable of Imprisoning Thor with Power Gem and Warriors Madness -Ship capable of withstanding full attack by Rigellian fleet with no damage Fighting Skills -Takes on most deadly mercenary Armies in the Universe on his own and wins -Takes on Thousands of Magus' followers and wins -Trained Gamora -Takes on Thing and Thor together -Takes on Power Gem wielding Warriors MAdness Thor one on one -Punches Mar-Vell from the Moon to Earth http://img237.imageshack.us/i/85157929fi8.jpg/ Life creation -Created Mystic Clones of himself including a Galactus Level being Thanks to the various people who the Scans belong to - they are not mine ![]() Feel free to add your own examples I've just put up what came to mind.

I disagree with the potency of some of your examples there but acknowledge the point about him being above Herald and occasionally close to Skyfather. The problem is a respect thread is not taking into account the poorer showings or the context of how the good ones came about, the key component to Thanos' achievements tends to be his careful preperation and advance knowledge before going into a venture and that sort of Prep and daring can make anyone look good. You should also bear in mind he gambles an awful lot, against Galactus, Against Tyrant, Against the Elders he took calculated risks that didn't always turn out favorably. It is very notable he was reluctant to face Annihulus for example who despite an apparent upgrade for Annihilation had previously been utterly dimissed by Odin. He also has been reliant on his tech a lot, whether that be an emergency teleporter or his chair for general transport. None of which do a Zeus/Odin level skyfather make.... Heralds such as the Silver Surfer have rivalled Thanos' durability many times and Thanos' firepower has never been seen to rival the Surfers upperlevels where he blasts planets apart, and for the likes of the moralistic Surfer getting to that stage is a psychological step by step process as he is ingrained to hold back which isn't so much a problem for Thanos. True Skyfathers aren't just physically powerful but have divine lifeforces that enable them to perform actions above the Silver Surfer level, if Odin or Zeus were serious about taking on Thanos I don't imagine he could compete at all. Even perceived lower tier cosmics like The Stranger or Molecule Man operate on a level he can't really compete with and The Stranger himself is a more convincing Skyfather type figure than Thanos is. But taking the logic furthr If yours is the formula for judging Thanos to be on Skyfather level isn't The Destroyer also skyfather then? Or Apocaylpse? Sentry? Maybe even a Full power Magneto? I accept fully he was seen as above Herald generally (but so too was Morg initially) but on the other hand would he be a match for the Surfer who came out of Annihilation for example? I think it More realistic to say he's more 'Skyfather' now that he's dead and has apparently elevated to being Deaths consort.

Subject: "Blasts Galactus out of his ship and across a planet"??? [Re: TheMadTitan] Posted Sun Dec 27, 2009 at 11:44:36 am EST (Viewed 134 times) |

Look to me like he blasted Galactus out of his ship (or where ever they were) knocking him aways, maybe a football pitch, but hardly across a planet. Catching Galactus off guard and knocking him over is a "skyfather" feat, then I'd like to nominate Thing and Reed Richards for title. The whole skyfather ranking is over rated. As any character that is head of an extra-dimensional pantheon automatically qualifies. There are several comparatively weak near-Earth-based skyfathers that are not all that powerful.

Thanos has done a majority of the feats below but not all and with Thanos sometimes you can't be sure which he does with tech which are his own natural power. He can manipulate molecules but I don't think he can create something from nothing like Odin. The term can also be applied to other fictions for beings in a similar class of power. Typical skyfather - level abilities include: - Galaxy busting power - Limited reality warping (from planetary through multi - galactic, less than universal) - Often some type of time manipulation (timestop, time travel, etc.) - Usually a good degree of matter/energy manipulation (such as transmutation) - Often a high degree of psychic powers, often capable of affecting at least entire planets - Sometimes have the ability to imbue other beings with a portion of their power - Breaking the Law of Causality (Odin with Odinforce creating planets out of nothing) Examples of Skyfather - level beings: Azora, Elune, and a few others from Warcraft Charon and Danik from Crossgen Comics Eru Iluvatar from the Tolkienverse is be considered a low - tier skyfather Darkseid (classic levels), Highfather, Ganthet, Shazam, Monarch, and many others from DC Comics God - Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40,000 (since he lacks galaxybusting or other galaxy - effecting powers, he can be considered a low - tier skyfather.) Also the Chaos Gods and Void Dragon might qualify Majin Dark Schneider with the Dragon Knight Lucifer, Fallen Uriel, Satan, and others from Bastard!! Odin, Surtur, Zeus, Vishnu, Walker, and many others from Marvel Comics Pyron from Darkstalkers Spawn (King of Hell Arc), and many others from Image Comics The Data Integrated Sentient Entity from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Various gods and cosmic beings from Saint Seiya

Would have to say that he is still to me about the same range as darkseid, and a Zuras while he was the prime Eternal... MAYBE would be at the low end showing for a Zeus/Odin of Marvel, but not a match for Odin at his peak levels, or say a Rune Thor... His GREATEST power is his mind, which allows him to prep and use all of those nifty "toys" of his... Straight up in a battle, both going all out... Just cannot see him taking down likes of a Fully powered Odin, Galactus.. See him as being a UBER version of Dr Doom... Mind, tech, magic etc... Cunning and resourcefulness!

If you've read 'Beyond' you'll get where i'm coming from. But neither are quite Skyfather as neither has shown to be able to command the power or influence Zeus/Odin has. The Stranger has faced the Olympian Pluto before now and lost, he has never been one for socialising in cosmic circles but I have seen nothing to show me he's on a Skyfathers level.

1. If I wanted to be a pain I would say no because he is not the leader of a pantheon, but that is not really part of the "skyfather-level." 2. This is not a total excuse, but pretty much all of those were written by Starlin. This does not invalidate them, but raises the question to what extent other writes place him at. The skyfathers have to a degree been written by several writers over the years. 3. The skyfathers once upon a time was considered virtual cosmic beings. Now they have been watered down some in the last twenty years or so but still powerful. There current level is unknown. 4. Thanos has never demonstrated powers on his own at a level of Tyrant, Galactus, Odin, or Zeus. Beings who are considered skyfather leve. In short, while he is close he always tends to struggle more and rely on outside sources to survive.

Whereas Thanos got pierced by Wolverine, even with the minimum Infinite Gauntlet power, which by definition should be well above the other Sky Fathers. Both are embarrassing, regardless.

Odin is enhanced by Gungnir, Galactus by Taa 2, Celestials by their armor, etc. The origins of power are irrelevant. That being said, I wouldn't put Thanos at skyfather levels until we get a clearer understanding of the power ups he received after The End. During his all to short solo series he shoed some pretty impressive abilities, but his levels are still rather vague. He's certainly a top tier teambuster, boardering on low end skyfather.

It matters because Thanos does not always access, or have access to, his technology. We're not talking about origin. We're talking about an additional resource, something he occasionally employs to boost his power. Just as Odin is not always absorbing the power of Asgard, Thanos is not always drawing upon his tech.

Lord Majestros: Kronos is a living embodiment of time and his powers are WAY beyond those of any any other Eternal, including The Prime Eternal or Thanos. While he doesn't have any grand feats, the power he has is above that of skyfather. However, the main point that I was making was that Drax was specifically made to kill Thanos and Thanos being killed by him isn't a reflection on Thano's power level.

Quote: Kronos is a living embodiment of time and his powers are WAY beyond those of any any other Eternal, including The Prime Eternal or Thanos.No, he's not the embodiment of time, and he's not an abstract being. He's an eternal who got caught up in his own experiment and merged with a minuscule portion of the universe. He is a being very much like Maelstrom became after battling the Avengers, when he became hyper-enlarged. There's no evidence that Kronos is more powerful than Odin. In fact, he can't seem to interact with the universe directly, or it taxes him too greatly to do so. Kronos greatly depleted his power battling Moondragon and Drax, and needed to use both of their power to fix Drax's brain damage.
