What marvel heroes can beat Thanos?
possibly Post annialation surfer
maybe Thor
some versions of adam warlock
classic strange
maybe drax
maybe shaman x man
franklin richards
Phoenix
captain universe
Reed Richards, Iron Man, and Dr. Doom could all win if they get prep.
Silver Surfer, Thor, Phoenix, and classic Dr. Strange could also win.
I think Nova could if he mastered the Nova Force, Sentry with the Void powers, Thor Odinforce, fully powered Gambit (New Sun powers), Iron Man with prep, Genis-Vell (during the time he was crazy), Scarlet Witch.
" Anyway, all jokes aside, this question cannot possibly be answered as of yet. Thanos was said to be recuperating at a fast degree and yet he still appears weakened in comparison to his former self, that weakness being originated by his proximity to the Cancerverse. That being said, the Cancerverse itself is the most probable reason as to why he'll survive disintergration by Drax, as there is no death there (an alternate theory being that he cannot die due to his status as the avatar of Death). At any case, for better, or worse, we should wait for the conclusion of this event, as his performance will more than likely flunctuate in between issues. "this
" @Morpheus_: Even with all jokes aside, you definitely have me rethinking about Drax missing from my list. "Most people credit Drax's showings against Thanos as the result of him being created to kill him, even though most of the time prior to Annihilation he was unsuccessful.
But yeah, Drax was the one who did it before, I can't blame anyone who'd wish to include him in a list.

Even so, as Thanos himself demonstrates and states, it seems he "is capable of delivering permanent death" in the cancer verse in a severely weakened state. Maybe current SS would take the win, but I'm not sure. I can't argue against Drax simply for the reason that I saw him tear out Thanos' heart (even though they weren't even fighting). I'll also take Classic Dr. Strange for the win here.
But, are we using only current versions of heroes in this fight?
On second thought, Drax really isn't a hero is he? So i'll take him off the list.
" @Morpheus_ said:He is indeed, but that can be explained by his connection to Death herself, as he is directly acting as her avatar now. Cancerverse beings can die, as shown in their fight against the Guardians, the only problem is, that since Death in their Universe is dead, they revert to their prior condition, anyway. Thanos ensures that their demise is permanent due to his link with the Death of his Universe." Anyway, all jokes aside, this question cannot possibly be answered as of yet.

I'd consider the current incarnation of Drax a hero, as he has fought in multiple wars since his previous death, and is recognised as a force of good (albeit an unconventional one) for the cosmos. Mostly an anti-hero, one could say.
" @ckal said:Good point. I guess that would be very bad news for someone in the regular universe that Thanos kills also, since he could technically insure they can't be resurrected." @Morpheus_ said:He is indeed, but that can be explained by his connection to Death herself, as he is directly acting as her avatar now.

Yeah, I see what you're saying about Drax. In The Thanos Imperative and Annihilation he is a part of the heroes, but he always seems to not care, or has some ulterior motive he is trying to accomplish (usually killing Thanos) and doesn't care much about the heroes' plight or is using them to get close to Thanos. (I admittedly don't have much knowledge on Drax aside from Annihilation and The Thanos Imperative)

That was Drax acting for the welfare of the Universe.
Makes sense, explanation accepted. Drax is a hero." @ckal said:

As we can see in Annihilation #4, Thanos had no interest in Drax at the moment, as he was trying to save the universe by freeing Galactus. Thanos said "we can settle up after" to Drax, and his back was actually turned to Drax when Drax ripped Thanos' heart out.
To be honest, Drax's victory against Thanos during Annihilation pertained elements of plot. On the other hand, one might say that if Drax was completely incapable of harming Thanos, he wouldn't have ripped his heart out, regardless of Thanos's disposition towards him. If Thanos simply stands still and allows, say, Spider-Man to attack him, it won't matter if he doesn't defend himself. Spider-Man could batter him all day long and it would be completely ineffective." @Morpheus_:@ckal: Drax can be classified a hero but can he beat Thanos? If Deathstroke does nothing to defend himself then i can beat him. Or has Drax beaten him one on one before? "
That being said, I cannot see Drax beating Thanos in a straightforward manner, without equipment, like he used in TI # 3. What I previously said was, I understand when people list Drax as a potential candidate for beating Thanos, mostly due to his design.
" @Fist_of_Mandalore said:Then I stand corrected. Who did it?" @pooty: Drax has beaten him one on one. And Drax was the one person to kill Thanos, when everyone else failed. "Thanos has been killed before. "
" @Morpheus_ said:Adam Warlock. That was before the Rebirth of Thanos storyarc in which Starlin resurrected him." @Fist_of_Mandalore said:Then I stand corrected. Who did it? "" @pooty: Drax has beaten him one on one. And Drax was the one person to kill Thanos, when everyone else failed. "Thanos has been killed before. "

" @Fist_of_Mandalore: i don't remember Drax beating him in a fight. When was that? Nevertheless i'm looking at this wrong. I don't believe Drax is more powerful than Thanos but he CAN beat him because thats what he was made to do. Nevertheless(lol) if Thanos is willing to defend and fight back i still don't think Drax could do it. I could be wrong. "Well, he did just do it during the most recent issue of Thanos Imperative. But it is unknown whether Thanos was back to full power and if Thanos is even dead, because it ended right after Drax attacked so you don't really know if Thanos died.
" @pooty said:It was impossible to die. They were fighting in the Cancerverse. Death is dead there." @Fist_of_Mandalore: i don't remember Drax beating him in a fight. When was that?

" @Morpheus_: Yeah, but before that Thanos was killing, or what looked to be killing. Those demon looking creatures with the big mouth of teeth. And Thanos being the avatar of Death, maybe him being there reintroduced death to that world? "He can personally deliver permanent death. People can still "die" there, but they simply revive immediately afterwards. Thanos can overrule that. Now, unless he wants to kill himself (which he won't because he is the protagonist), he won't die, and since he is the avatar of Death, even more so. Also, delivering death is not the same as being able to reintroduce death as a Universal concept to the Cancerverse, which is what they intend to do in the future (that being the subplot on the behalf of the Guardians and Thanos).
" @Morpheus_: Ah, alright. Well are you reading that. I think its pretty damn awesome so far. "I like it so far. I was disappointed that they brought back Aegis only to kille her off an issue afterwards, though. But all in all, an interesting event, I'm waiting for the next issue.
" @Fist_of_Mandalore said:Yeah I think the Cosmic stuff in Marvel is always good. Those comics are getting good reviews week in and week out. Unfortunately they are all down to only the Thanos Imperative right now. I'm also wondering if DarkHawk is going to show in this. Him being a new cosmic character and all." @Morpheus_: Ah, alright.

" @Morpheus_ said:Hopefully the Imperative will serve as catalyst for characters to get their own series, much like Annihilation did for Nova, and Conquest did for the Guardians of the Galaxy." @Fist_of_Mandalore said:Yeah I think the Cosmic stuff in Marvel is always good.
