Sinestro worked Mongul. Not even a contest.
To be fair, no Marvel series lasts long enough to do a Thanos arc!

It's a god killing bullet though, isn't it?

even before that, Darkseid was killed by the Atom waaaaaay back during the JLA "rock of ages" storyline.
Batman and the Atom realized that even though Darkseid had an "impenetrable" force shield around him, that since darkseid could see (and they could see him) light could get through, so the atom shrank down to the size of a photon, piggybacked a ride on light waves directly through his corneas and into his brain and lobotomized him by blasting his grey matter to shreds.
It killed the Atom of course (darkseid's body was simply too hostile an environment) but no WAY would that have worked on Thanos.
Eternal body control. Greatness

Yep. Thanos would literally wade through things that would tear darkseid to shreds right now. It's like someone gave him "total invulnerability to everything" as a power.

Thanos' visual design is even worse than Darkseid, and that is really saying something.
Thanos could have ruled a shithole of a planet but instead he focused on improving himself. He could have fuckwads like Granny Goodness and Beast Man( his name escapes me) running around but instead he does shit himself.

Still a cool way to kill someone. I also dug Darkseid's pure black look in that series

Didn't Thanos go toe to toe with Odin and live to tell about it? I vote Thanos. But both guys are no weaklings.
I didn't even read that part. I'd still pick Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet. Darkseid gets beaten more times than Galactus.

Kalibak I believe. The character who literally exists to be a complete jobber
He makes Rhino looks good. Grayven was the better son
Mumei refused to post in this thread, because he has "class" and "self-respect" or whatever, but I got an answer out of him through IRC anyway:
[08:19:56 pm] <zeliard> but anyway, back to more important topics: thanos or darkseid?
[08:20:59 pm] <Mumei1> if we are talking pre-crisis, darkseid seems more impressive
[08:21:16 pm] <zeliard> wait, you actually know about this stuff?
[08:21:35 pm] <Mumei1> since he can be scaled relative to PC supes, who was towing galaxies and getting punched with the force of hundreds of galaxies and traveling across the universe in seconds and other assorted bullshit
[08:21:49 pm] <Mumei1> and I don't think Thanos really compares to that
[08:21:51 pm] <zeliard> get in my thread, then, dammit
[08:22:03 pm] <zeliard> i did stipulate thanos w/ the infinity gauntlet
[08:22:08 pm] <Mumei1> no, i like reading other posters argue
[08:22:09 pm] <Mumei1> oh
[08:22:15 pm] <Mumei1> then I'd guess thanos

Mongul? That midcarder? LOL!
I think that stipulation breaks things. Thanos snapped his fingers and killed/erased half of the life in the universe at the start of the Infinity Guantlet mini. What was Darkseid's feat to compare to that?

Mumei does know his shit, but he's actually wrong here.
(I'm going to ignore the infinity gauntlet part, because that thing is hilariously broken and no version of darkseid is even on it's radar)
PC superman is very powerful, but Thanos fought an enraged Thor equipped with the power gem and beat him down like it was his job. THEN Thanos immediately wades into a fight with Odin and Odin is forced to whip out Gungnir and STILL can't put him down.
Both of those two would beat the holy bejeezus out of any version of superman, PC or no, and Current Thanos is stronger than that. I don't even see a way to even scratch him without plot devices.

I can't wait until we get Darkseid in a Justice League movie and people complain that he's a Thanos ripoff.
The same will happen whenever they get around to putting Namor in one of these movies.

Probably see that in what 2030? lol. I loved how that animated series handled Darkseid. Wish Marvel treated Thanos that well in their animated shows.

Remember when Darkseid and his crew inhabited human bodies and Granny Goodness became a pimp, Glorious Godfrey became Don King, and Kalibak got a tiger body from one of those things from Kamandi and still got his shit wrecked by TAWKY FREAKING TAWNY?

Universal has the namor rights, I believe. They've never actually done anything with him but retain it anyway- it looks like whatever deal they have is different than the fox/sony ones.

Marvel struggle
PC is wildly inconsistent, Superman can move the moon in one book, and in the same book get trapped by a chainlink fence.
Is a piece of shit

read what I wrote again. that was an insane thor in the grip of some kind of madness equipped with the power gem. The power gem is the red gem in the infinity gauntlet that gives "infinite power" to anyone carrying it around.
Some users are better with it than others, but even complete idiots who aren't even trying to use it still turn out to be god-tier.
Champion of the universe thought it was just decoration, but still subconciously/passively drew enough power from it to accidentally one shot a planet into dust.

Yeah, I read what you wrote. That's still not gonna help Thor beat a Superman-Prime who's been sun-dipped for over 15,000 years.
