Thanos vs Legion

Thanos (Post Thanos Imperative before he died of course)

Legion (Most recent version, uses 1 power at a time)

Modification

To make this battle fair I am taking off three key powers away from Legion (David Haller).

Those powers are:

· Moira (reality altering powers)

· Super speed (don’t remember the name of the personality)

· Johnny Gomorrah (ability to trans-mutate and turn people into salt)

Location: in a planet that has no people

Morals : standard morals apply (for Thanos i am using his morals from Thanos solo series, because that was perhaps the only series where he tried to be a hero and hand decent morals).

Win Condition: KO and Death only, no BFR (also taking off Thanos's ability to BFR ppl into the sun and stuffs)

Starting distance 10 meters from each other.

In character, Legion would never use Moira. Thanos' morals didn't change in his solo series, they were consistent with everything before his character derailment in the TI.

And Thanos wins.

Well thanos looked like he wanted to help people out and make good for his crimes than kill people to please mistress death. But i get what you mean.

Thanos wins, fair enough, but erm would you be kind enough to lay down how he wins.. what would he do.

Haha he hasnt arrived yet, care to take a pick ? would be much appreciated if you also say why.

@Morpheus_ said:

@Killemall: He had helped others on various other occasions before. Ranging from saving Gamora to being an ally to Adam Warlock for the greater good.

A play by play of the fight is hard to come by, I just don't see Legion being able to beat Thanos with a single power based on the ones he demonstrated individually in the Legacy issues.

Well i get that, but how often do you see Thanos trying to make good on the mistake that he had made. He was trying to help the civilization. Besides Adam Warlock is perhaps the only closest friend Thanos has, on and off anyways.

@CitizenBane said:

Legion froze time over Rome with morals on. What does Thanos do about that?

Freezing time is good but that's neither KO nor death for Thanos. Also he can only use one power at a time.

@CitizenBane:

I was right!

LOL no comments!

@CitizenBane said:

@Killemall: Yeah, I'm not sure what he could do to hurt Thanos since his major abilities have been nerfed. And BFR'ing isn't allowed either or he could have just done that.

He could take Thanos' soul and make him his slave, but I doubt he'd do it in character since he seemed to be afraid of Styx.

Well i had to take the reality warping away that would have been unfair. Thanos has always been immune to transmutation and BFR could go either way. With morals thanos is more likely to BFR Legion.

Yeah i am not sure about stealing Thanos's soul either but that sounds like a good argument to make.

I though with such powerful PSI bolts Legion could do a lot of damage too.

@CitizenBane said:

@Killemall: Problem is, Legion's only used psi-bolts on people who aren't as durable physically or mentally as Thanos. He solo'd Storm, Bishop, Psylocke and Iceman with a psi-wave, but none of them are close to Thanos' level.

Oh yeah i understand what you mean but wasnt it stated that his PSI bolts are 10x Professor X? Thats pretty powerful to me.

I though this would be a fair battle, as i like both of the character here, did i make it a stomp?

Oh damn, so i made a stomp thread :(

Let this thread just die .

Yes big T got this

legion may have a 1000 different powers but he hasn't demonstrated any that would allow him to defeat Thanos

If Thanos went all out in a fight against Legion, Legion's body would of been broken in 4 before he could find any power that can do any damage to Thanos. As for warping reality, no one shows up to a fight and decides the first move they make is to warp reality. That doesn't showcase how powerful the person is, it just means the writers were too lazy to make the fight interesting.

Read the original post:

Warping reality in that instance is not really inflicting harm on the foes, it's really about the writers inability to make that fight interesting.

Ok, how about you have the writers make sure that Legion warps reality in every single issue from here on out. At the beginning of every fight, he just warps them out instead of fighting them. That's as if the fight never happened so what's the point? It reminds me of Mangog and Thor. Thor could defeat Mangog so he uses the odin force and wills him out of existence. BORING!!!!

Reality Warping doesn't really work on Thanos anyway. But Legion still could use Styx to absorb Thanos's soul and take control of his body, Endgame- To adapt to Thanos's attacks and counter it. So yes there are ways that Legion could actually beat Thanos.  Also Legion could reality Warp as himself as well, and not just the Moira persona.

Reality warping supposedly doesn't work on Psylocke either, she was still swept up into the Age of X reality. Styx and Moira are not personalities Legion would use in character. And seeing as Endgame got decked by Magneto throwing bombs at him, I'm pretty sure he's not going to be much help against Thanos.

with his most recent personality i don`t see legion use the personality that warped the elder gods from limbo( the true legion, according to the comic). however, it would be cool to see the personality of end game going against thanos. said personality has the ability to adapt to any attack; it is not specify in the comic if can only adapt to mutant attacks or to whatever attacks him in general.

It can supposedly adapt to anything but since it couldn't react fast enough to Magneto bombing it I don't think it will help against Thanos.

going to check the issue.

he did react fast enough when he was getting attaked: he turn intangible when gambit used his powers; when magneto attacked him, he did the same, instantly. he got distracted by legion and magneto used the time to attack him with the bomb, and you can clearly see in the next panel he has no damage at all. i think endgame would be the best powerset if legion wants last some time. morpheus is right, if legion uses his time manipulation- because it is one power at a time- he won`t have any way to hurt thanos. unless.....that personality, apart from stoping time, he also has the ability to make you re live your past, or something like that. he did it to gambit. still, i don`t believe this is enough to hurt thanos.

well, in new mutants the original personality of legion appeared and erased the elder gods instantly. that is his powerset and the op didn`t took that personality out. the problem is the current personality of legion would not use that personality. in character he would not use those powers. another different thing is legion off charater, he would definitely beat thanos. but, since it is not the case in this battle, thanos would most probably win.

@CitizenBane said:

@blackadam2: You are correct. But even so, that only proves Endgame can defend against any attack. How will he harm Thanos? The brute force he used against Frenzy is not sufficient to hurt Thanos.

that's why i'm not giving the victory to legion. however, if he can adapt to anny attack, it means he would adapt to the strength of thanos. probably gaining the strength to dealt with him. see how his power is to adapt to kill his enemies, to counter their powers while gaining abilities to defeat them. but anyway, that just an assumption, i`m not sure of it. i also don`t think he will use endgame at the start of the fight. with this limitations the victory goes to thanos.

@CitizenBane:@tommyxx516: Let me get this straight, you're whining about how reality warping shouldn't be used as an argument because it's "boring"? Seriously?

Legion shows up, meets Elder gods in Limbo, Warps reality. THE END!!! You're telling me this kind of storytelling is exciting to you?

Perhaps in the upcoming X-men vs Avengers, the writers could just have the Scarlet Witch, Franklin Richards, Legion, Phoenix, and Galactus show up in the end and take turn warping reality out of boredom?
