@Satyrquaze: Thanos wasn't the Supreme being with the IG. He was the Supreme Being when he had the HoTU.
@King Saturn: I agree with you. Both of these characters have relative omnipotence. Both have immense power and I assume both can destroy and recreate Universes on a whim. It'd be a good fight.
Thanos was called "The Supreme Being" or "God" several times during the continuity of Infinity Gauntlet, the fact that Death admitted he was several stations higher than she was added to that.
Adam Warlock also referred to himself as a "Supreme Being" while he had the IG.
@Satyrquaze: TOAA is Marvel's Supreme being and you may be right, but I thought the only time Thanos took TOAA's place was with HoTU. I personally think it's embellishment on thier part to call Thanos Supreme being. There can only be one Supreme being and TOAA was still above him at that point from my understanding. Because a character says something doesn't necessarily mean it is the direct truth.
I accept that, but Starlin had a habit of making Thanos and Warlock both infallable and anything that came out of their mouths was treated as undisputable fact.
@Satyrquaze: I agree he was nigh-omnipotent, and for all intents and purposes he could be looked at as a Supreme being.....but there can only be 1 Supreme being and with the IG I never think he eclipsed/replaced TOAA. Thats all :)
"Starlin also has a habit of making a new omnipotent entity every times he picks up a pen. Seriously, does he have an inferiority complex or something? "
"even though the Infinity Gems came from a Omnipotent Being... I dont believe the Infinity Gauntlet made Thanos fully Omnipotent... now when Thanos had the Heart of the Universe he was fully Omnipotent... so if indeed Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet isnt totally Omnipotent... then there is room for a possible loss against for Thanos here with the IG since Zero Hour Parallax himself was not fully Omnipotent either... "
what we have to look at is who had bigger feats here, well thanos was was able to not only beat galactus,TOAA,order,chaos ect ect at the same time well hals biggest feat was taking down a fully powered up spectre, now i am not saying spectre is a slouch but taking on all those other foes shows thanos to be on a little bit of a higher level then ZH hal, on a off topic note i am glad to be back on the vine haha "
okay... but you have to understand also... that the Marvel Cosmic Pantheon is a little bit more established than what DC actually has... now even though Thanos handled Galactus, LT, Eternity, Lord Chaos, etc. etc. those are the Cosmic Forces that make up the Higher Cosmic Pantheon... but think about DC for a minute... when a Powerhouse Character comes to the fold... who is usually the Only Massive Force that has to defend against them ? That's Right... its The Spectre. There really isnt a well developed Cosmic Pantheon in DC as there is in Marvel... usually The Spectre is the Main Cosmic/Magical Force that comes out to defend against Powerhouses... whereas Marvel has Eternity, LT, Galactus, Lord Chaos... blah blah blah... so even though Thanos has the better feats with the IG... it isnt because he is simply better than ZH Parallax... its because ZH Parallax didnt get to show his power against multiple Spectre level beings at once... and thats mainly because there arent many Spectre level beings that provide assistance in massive DC battles for him... or at least there werent any at that time... "
i understand where you are coming from but even so as much as i like DC over marvel marvel knows how to show off there cosmic power houses more times then DC, well spectre is the one they always fight you can't say a fully powered spectre is stronger then eternity by all that much who thanos beat without much trouble, i mean spectre is great and powerful but eternity is close to him thats for sure. on the reason i left go to the PM. "
I would still say someone who is strong enough to restart a Universe and handle a Fully Powered Spectre ( which at that time was probably one of the most powerful entites in the DCU ) should be able to trump even Thanos with the IG... just because ZH Parallax didnt get to exploit his power against other Cosmic Forces... doesnt mean he couldnt... and since the upper limits of his power seemed to be of Nigh Omnipotence... I dont see why Parallax couldnt at least give Thanos with the IG a good fight at the least "
Thanos with the IG could destory the entire universe or recreate it with a simple thought... "
even if Thanos could... this still doesnt make him more powerful than Zero Hour Parallax... "
I wasnt saying that made the IG more powerful. I was just stating that the IG could do the same thing as ZHP.
" Yea there's alternate IG, but NOWHERE the Power of the 616 Version as REPEATEDLY shown in the comics... As I said above the IG is a legit MultiversalPower... Hal only had power over ONE universe! & lost his power & dies by a damn arrow in the end... Thanos w/ease still... Thanos w/cube would make thinks better for hal but would still lose.. GBD "
You just pulled this out of your @$$. Why would the IG's in other universes be different from IG's in 616? That's like saying Eternity or Death in another universe are different than 616 Eternity and Death.
Here you go even Lt couldt stop him therefore the IG wearer is the supreme being. Harper_Jr said:

You didn't read the IG saga did you dont make me prove you wrong.

No not at all! It's REPEATEDLY DOCUMENTED!!! the 3 whatifs that dealed with alternate IG, like when ImpossibleMan/Silversurfe & Doom had it there was no comparison at ALL. Also the FF issues show this also!!! Not pulling it out of nowhere but the comics... Obviously the 616 U IG is where most of the InfinityBeings Power setttled...

The what if issues are non canon. The FF issues are canon for the 616 universe, and in there the IGs acted completely normal and no difference between them was mentioned at al. They wiped out Celestials for crying out loud.

That scans means nothing. You've posted something out of context that doesn't even state your point. If you'd actually read it, you'd know that the LT goes on to describe that it would take the destruction of the entire 616 plane of existence to wrest the gauntlet from Adam. Which the LT was prepared to do. Even the official marvel handbook states that the LT if greater then the power of the combined gems.

No, you seriously are making things up. "
LOL, get a clue PLEASE!!! Just accept the knowledge I showed you that was compete fact that you DID"NT know abotu!!!
I suggest you read the whatif stories that deal with alternate IG's! Them you might know what you talking about!!

Well. Pwned. "
No he was'nt! The LT really was'nt sure if he could defeat Adam, that IS TRUE!!! We really don't know which is more powerful, it's very VERY close either way...
& anyone that starts quoteing handbook shows how much they ae failing there case! The fact is the Handbooks contridict ALOT of ACTUAL CONTINUITY & beings Power levels...
"I don't know what to make of this. Parallax was capable of overwhelming even the Spectre at its fullest, which is indeed a considerable feat. But on the other hand, the IG has power over everyone short of the Living Tribunal. A case can be made for both sides. I can give to Parallax since the IG never showed ability to restart the universe to my knowledge (but I could be dissuaded) And just in case anyone asks, no Spectre is not equal to LT. "
bump. this is a very close fight. although the majority would go with thanos, but I think no one thanos ever beat (including eternity or galactus) come close to fully backed spectre. I'll back zh parallax for the win.
IG = A universal being on par with LT which died and passed on his powers into the marvel Universe from my memory. ZH Hal Jordan = Parallax, Central power battery, Guardians of the Universe
To me that sounds like IG > Parallax + Guardians of the Universe + Central Power battery
This really comes down to Marvel vs DC. Both are Universal destroyers, and while they both have amazing offense I'm not sure how they would defend themselves against each other. None the less, It's a draw.
Though IMO, Parallax did more impressive feats, and I think that does say something.
