DarkSeid takes this, Thanos doesnt stand a chance....the Omega Effect takes Thanos out in 2 seconds.

Superman(who is faster than Thanos) getting caught by the Omega Effect:

Thanos is a new god like being. I think he is more resilient than a green lantern shield. Supes may be fast, but I doubt thanos would bother trying to avoid it.

Darkseid. Anti-Life Equation, Omega Beams, and Omega Sanction is a wham-bam-thankyoumam of slavery, death and infinite destruction.

If you bring Darkseid's ultimate end game into this, then Thanos would get his end games: Infinity Gauntlet or even the Heart of the Universe.

Thanos snaps his fingers. ZEE END.

In the end, thanos was embraced by a universe of beings that couldn't die. The anti life equation means nothing to him. And the omega beams as well. The omega sanction would be a major fucking bad move for darkseid. Realities that keep getting worse? He'll come back from that amused and willing to share the fun he experienced with darkseid.

because of this thread I ended up reading about Galactus and that he supposedly has a daughter now???

We..... don't talk about galacta for a reason.

I prefer DC heroes to Marvel ones as a fan since a lot of Marvel isn't very established as individuals so much as just sources of conflicts with other cast.

That said I'm going against DC though and agreeing with Parallax. Thanos would win. Even with end game stuff because infinity gauntlet and cosmic cube still trump Darkseid's stuff...even the anti life equation. Since we are arguing a scenario without those trump card "end game" powers though its a moot point. This is how the whole thing sizes up power-wise between them without trump cards.

Here is Thanos
Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to the Eternals, but in some cases far beyond any other known member of his race; acquired through a combination of his mutant Eternal heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and the entity Death. He has demonstrated enormous superhuman strength, stamina, and particularly durability; is able to absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy; is virtually ageless and immortal; does not need food, drink, or oxygen; and is capable of certain telekinesis, as well as telepathy and matter manipulation. The advanced technology within his transportation chairs includes force field projection, time travel, movement through alternate universes, space flight, and teleportation over interstellar distances. Thanos is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in the art of war on Titan.

Thanos possesses superhuman intellect (he considers his mind his greatest weapon) and has knowledge of Celestial and other alien technology. Thanos is a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding contemporary Earth science. He is also a master strategist and sometimes utilizes a space vessel called Sanctuary II as a base of operations.

Here is Darkseid

Darkseid is among the most powerful New Gods. His main power, the Omega Beam, is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either a concussive force or disintegrating energy, capable of transmuting or erasing living objects and organisms from existence as well as resurrecting them, depending on the dark lord's will. These beams stem from a cosmic energy source called the "Omega Effect." Darkseid has pinpoint control and his unerring aim allows the beam to travel in straight lines, bend, or curve around corners and can pass through matter and energy. He can teleport himself or others through time and space.[10] Darkseid can also shoot energy blasts from his hands. His Omega Sanction traps the organism in a series of alternate realities, each one worse than the previous. During the Final Crisis, Darkseid used his Omega Beams to grant power to Mary Marvel, with her powers then being based on Anti-Life rather than Magic.

Darkseid is a being whose unparalleled strength and invulnerability can only be challenged by the likes of Superman, Doomsday[11] and Orion.[12] He can also move with great speed, as he has been able to catch Superman off guard,[13] he is known to be able to react in nanoseconds.[14] He also can increase his size.[15] Darkseid has the powers of telepathy and telekinesis and can create psionic avatars. Since Darkseid is considered a "god" he is virtually immortal, having lived for several hundred thousand years.[16] Like all New Gods, however, he is vulnerable to a substance called "Radion".

Despite his extraordinary physical power, Darkseid rarely engages himself personally in confrontations, as he prefers to use his superhuman intellect and genius to manipulate or control others to his ends.[16] Darkseid has displayed his godly abilities by sensing the death of his son Orion[11] and fluctuations of the energy of the "godwave".[14] Darkseid commands all the military and technological resources of Apokolips

Now looking that over it would appear that Darkseid would win due to his Omega beams right? Look closely...they are described as being made of COSMIC ENERGY...the shit Thanos absorbs. If this comes down to a fist fight Thanos is on par with him in strength, strategy, intellect and durability. This can be proven by the fact that he could go toe to toe with guys in marvel who in cross overs held their own against the only guys listed to be able to hold their own with Darkseid in DC. However Darkseid isn't a trained fighter and Thanos is. Darkseid doesn't engage in fights directly often. Thanos DOES. No beams, no sanctions, no trump cards and a level playing field versus a more trained hand to hand combatant equals only one thing.

Are you freaking kidding me?
His Omega beams are just an extra. Read any comic where it shows his many feats.
He can literally decimate a planet with raw energy Him going all out with destructive energy & power would be something on a solar system scale.

He can telepathically control every single person on an entire planet. He has mastery of time travel with a flick of his wrist, he can reanimate the dead at a whim, he can teleport anywhere in the galaxy, he can speed blitz Superman.
He literally can't die (if his physical body somehow dies, he will just reincarnate in someone else body).

Any comic showing Superman somehow fighting a non-depleted/weakened Darkseid evenly is just bad writing. Darkseid is to Superman as Superman is to humans.

One does not simply absorb the omega effect.

Lists it plain as day.
"absorbs cosmic power" and cosmic energy is the source of the Omega Effect. I mean Silver Surfer can pretty much shoot bullshit that creates and destroys based on the writer's fancy too, but it was cosmically powered so it didn't mean shit to Thanos when it hit him what it was originally supposed to do to Thanos. The moment it came in contact with him it just stopped working and just became "cosmic energy" that could be absorbed by Thanos.

His very nature dismantles the omega effect. I think he was written that way by Marvel to try and trump Darkseid in these very sorts of things. Its the kind of one upsmanship sort of thing characters like him tend to have written into them when they are made so a rival publishing company's character appears less impressive versus their own similar character.

I mean Darkseid appeared in DC in 1970 and a mere three years later in 1973 Thanos appeared in Marvel. Its pretty much his role to steal Darkseid's thunder on the comic racks in this way to keep competitive.

I stand by my statement regardless of why Thanos was made. He WOULD absorb the Omega effect because its cosmic energy. Doesn't matter what its supposed to do because his powers render that pointless. He'd absorb the beam as just cosmic energy.

Darkseid tried to marry Wonder Woman LOL.

And then if I remember right he shot Doomsday with his laser eyes pew pew and then Doomsday got pissed and knocked his fucking block off.
 
If its the real deal darkseid, the omega effect wipes you from existence. No absorbtion, no blocking, no running away, no dodging, that is it. You are finished until darkseid says otherwise.
 

Pandaman

Everything is moe to me
By darkseid avatars.

Its as ridiculous as saying you can dodge it.
hate to break it to you, but your boy just isn't that tough.

not thanos tier tough anyway.


thanos energy beams galactus: galactus goes flying.
darkseid omega beams galactus: galactus laughs.

thanos fights hulk: thanos kills hulk.
darkseid fights doomsday: darkseid dies without superman saving him.

darkseids omega beams can be countered with eye beams.
thanos has eye beams.

Yeah Doomsday sure looks finished.
 
Anytime darkseid jobs, its an avatar with only a fraction of power. thats the rule guys, you can cite what ever losses you want, it wont matter. the only thing stopping him is death itself and superman's beautiful voice.
