Despero vs Thanos

Powers and abilities Despero is a powerful villain. The Flame of Py'tar gave Despero great physical strength that has been shown in one storyline to be superior to Superman and Captain Marvel, being able to simultaneously defeat both, along with Wonder Woman and Power Girl. Despero also has a high level of durability, although he is not invulnerable. Also very intelligent, he is skilled as both a warrior and tyrant. His hypnotic third eye is directly connected to his brain, giving him telepathic powers that on one occasion have been depicted as surpassing those of the Martian Manhunter. It is also capable of projecting realistic illusions and entrancing virtually any sentient being. It can also project beams of telekinetic energy enabling the teleportation of matter anywhere in the universe. In his "spirit" form, Despero can possess any living being, granting the victim the strength and telepathic abilities of his own body. In his first appearance, Despero used a teleportation machine which resembled a chess set. It used pieces shaped like the Leaguers to move them to different locations. The machine was subsequently shown to be in the possession of the Weapon Master.

Powers and abilities Thanos possesses a wide range of abilities, some of which are common to the Titanian Eternals, and others that have been acquired through bionic amplification, mysticism, and augmentation by Death itself. In addition to vast levels of superhuman strength, stamina, and durability, Thanos is capable of energy and matter manipulation, teleportation, and telepathy. Even though Thanos typically prefers to avoid physical confrontation, preferring to outwit his enemies, he is a formidable combatant. He is particularly adept in using a combination of his physical and energy-manipulating abilities in these situations. Thanos can also temporarily increase his powers by absorbing energy from an unknown source of quasi-mystical nature. Thanos possesses a superhuman intellect that is almost obsessively dedicated to the annihilation of life and the mastery of any technology or mysticism that will enable him to achieve this goal. Thanos is a superb tactician and is well-versed in many areas of arcane lore. He possesses technology that allows him to time-travel and travel through alternate dimensions, and teleport over vast distances. Thanos also trained his adopted daughter Gamora to become one of the universe's most adept and feared female assassins.

Random encounter, no prep for either of them!

Close fight, but I think Thanos.

Thanos.

Eternal Chaos says:

"Close one... but due to the power cosmic, I'd have to say Thanos."

Yeah, it is a close one, and normally with thanos it generally goes one way, his way! But despero is a beast who the the whole JLA (incl superman, wonderwoman and MM)and then some, couldn't stop and got pummelled! in a random encounter, I think he'd have the best chance of taking down thanos in a random encounter only, but still, thanos is a beast even without prep, it's just the best time for the other oponent for a chance to take him down when there's no prep involved, and I think it could go either way when you have someone who's stronger than superman, capt marvel and Martian Manhunter and even stronger then MM in telepathy! that is an awsome bag of tricks up your sleave when your taking someone on like Thanos! but it aint gonna be easy, and could go either way in the end!

ps, I only just noticed in the picture I posted he's holding someone's face/head all shredded up! kinda reminds me of surfer if not for the big round black eye! Wow, guess he's making a statement that he's not to be messed with!

"thanos "

Why?

Unbelonger says:

"Yeah well in terms of the pictures Thanos wins. Despero's picture looks poor against Thanos's one. Still i'd give Depsero the win, for reasons the last person who posted gave. zzzzzzzzzzz "

No probs, it's a good thing we don't go by pictures alone, cause that's the only one i had of Despero! how bout these ones:

                                           vs

Thanos would beat Despero but it would be a good fight

Unbelonger says:

"Im seriously tired of Thanos, and im not saying I hate him or dislike him, is just that he seems to be set to always win in this forums; Hoewver, this one thread has come as an actuall fight he could and as i believe lose. PS: I would like to se Darkseid beat Thanos. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

So would I! but I don't think it would happen these days! Darkseid's been relegated to a villain that most in the DCU have no probs with him! maybe final crises will change that, from what i've been hearing! maybe, hopefully!

Thanos, completely!

Post Deleted.

I wouldn't say completely, in a random encounter! chances are thanos might still come out on top, but it wouln't be unscathed!

No gauntlet and Despero at his maximum powers without prep time for any? I vote Despero

" Thanos. Despero can't destroy galaxies. And he shouldn't be able to defeat  Thanos by TP. This could be a long fight, but I belive that will be last man standing at the end. "

Thanos can't destroy galaxies either. "

I know,but he can take shots from beings who can. The point is that Despero won't be able to destroy Thanos,but I think that Thanos will be able to defeat Despero after long fight. "

Odin can't destroy galaxies either. He hasn't done it in thirty years, and when he did it thirty years ago, it was bad writing. "

Odin can do that. He did that against Infinity.  How can You argue with facts? Surtur destroyed galxay too and he isn't more powerfull than Odin. When Odin fought against Seth it was said that they can destroy multiple galaxies with their powers. "

" Yeah,because they did that. You can't argue with facts. You just can't. Single Celestial is often compare too Galactus. Celstial who couldn't destroy a planet is a bad writing. This was dying Galactus. He admit it. If he couldn't do that in full power - bad writing  Galctus > Elder God/Celestial > Skyfather = Galaxy Buster.  "

"Spider-Man defeating Firelord is PIS. But if Spider-Man got an upgrade with what he will destroy a planet and then he will fight against FL and win it won't be PIS.Bad writing is when writers give us a comic in what someone who can only destroy a planet defeat someone who can take galaxy busting shot. Or when someone who is as fast as light is defeating by guy who have only superhuman refelex. But if someone show big ability/power with what we can't debate it isn't a bad writing. It is a feat which can bring this guy to higher level. Fact is fact.  Maybe guy like Surtur didin't know his own power? Sentry said that he has power of milions exploding suns, but did he proved that? No, Surtur prove that  he has. Odin, Infinity (which means that 50% power of Odin is enough to destroy a galaxy) and Seth prove it too.  If we will deny facts, we won't be able to compare anyone with anyone. It was said that Elder Gods > Skyfathers. It was said that Zeus = Odin = Vishnu = any other Skyfather. Odin and his archenemy destroyed a galaxy. Odin was giving everything what he can to defeat Thanos (Odin was defending Asgard and he was ready to destroy part of it to defeat Thanos) . Thanos survived Galan's (and Omega's) shot,he survived fight with d-Tyrant (and take what he want from him), he survived supernova (without being hurt),he survived shots from SS (without being hurt) etc. What all of this means for me? It means that: 1. Anyone who is above Skyfathers can destroy a galaxy easily (like Elder Gods). 2. All people who are equal to Odin can destroy a galaxy and take shots which can destroy a galaxy. 3.Thanos take shots from very powerfull beings. He fought against very powerfull beings and even when he was much less powerfull they've still had problems with KO him. This is a big durability feat. Too big for someone like Despero. "
