Thanos (with prep) vs The Living Tribunal

To the death. Thanos has 10 years prep time, and know what he's up against. LT just appears 0s after Thanos prep time.

Thanos without plot device is just a herald lvl powerful.

He needs plot devices his entire character been about getting ign, cosmic cube, HOTU.

LT stomps unless writers give him a plot device.

Let's say that the hotu exists.

Thanks has already won this... Twice. He's going to get the IG or HOTU or find some other all powerful device and recreate the universe

With 10 years prep, he gets HOTU and beats Living Tribunal.

Only if Thanos has the HOTU will he win.

It was completely deleted from the Marvel continuity. HOTU, Protege, Scathan, those things never existed in any universe in the multiverse, at least not anymore. Unless Thanos get hold on a Beyonder with that prep-time and steal its power, I don't see him winning this.

Scathan/Protégé are from Earth 691. They are from the original Guardians of the Galaxy series.

Not sure what getting a hold on the Beyonder would do, as he has been retconned and is far inferior to LT, unless you're talking about the Beyonders (Ivory Kings), though Thanos has never displayed the ability to take such powers on such a scale.

Living Tribunal.

The Infinity Gauntlet is really nothing compared to LT. Pretty sure he snapped his fingers and he negated it's power.

I confused those first two. Either way, I'm talking about the Beyonder race, not the Beyonder in person.

LT.

IIrc it was stated that Beyonder (person) was apart of the Beyonders just younger than the rest. So it don't really matter. Lol.

@frisky4: I didn't know that. I only read the original IG series up until Thanos got defeated and it seemed like LT was just as powerless against it as Eternity or anybody else

Nope. Living Tribunal was actually much more powerful than the Infinity Gauntlet. The only reason he didn't kill Thanos is because he thought it was okay for Thanos to kill Eternity and and take his place. Living Tribunal at that time was only trumped by TOAA.

THanos is skyfather level. Just not Odin level. Thanos feats put him above most skyfathers including Zeus. Thanos can beat most heroes on his own. Only the most powerful beings can defeat him

@frisky4: Neat, thanks for that info

Also, OP says HoTU exists for the sake of this battle.
