An Eternal with the Deviant gene, making him unique and extremely powerful, even amongst his own kind. Above all else, Thanos loves and worships Mistress Death. Few can equal his intelligence, strength, and ambition for power. Thanos has wielded the Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gauntlet, and even the Heart of the Universe.
.Where does all the anti-Marvel bashing come from? I respect Spectre, respect Galactus, Pre Crisis Darkseid. However to be honest I do not respect Post Crisis Darkseid
I might be frank about Darkseid
But never will you see any more Venom and General Trolling than you would find in a Superman vs Thanos thread or any of its variations Sentry vs Thanos Superman vs Odin Gladiator vs Darkseid etc
I think a lot of Superman fanboys got sour that DC also depowered Darkseid after the Crisis, the writers at DC also got rid of Post Crisis Mongul and replaced him with a tomato can Mongul-II
Where do the ridiculous accusations about Marvel's power levels and characters come from? Are Superman fans just sour grapes that Thanos never became a jobberseid? Are they just bitter that Marvel's Skyfathers don't jobber so much
if you woke up with super powers tomarrow what would you do would you go forth to save the world immeadiatly like superman no youd try to get some cash out of it first like spidey did. limitations make for a better character
Your 1st pic is a repeat of the 4th, both of them are the same wacky LSD ridden Spider-Man comic that no sane reader would ever take serious
@DC_Marvel_1000
said:
"
yup never "
This pic is completely fake and photo shopped, it was a story involving Warrior Madness Thor and the Infinity Power Gem
If numbskull sour grapes Superman fans like you DCDC-1000 can come into a Thanos thread to troll and post fake photoshops as evidence
Then clearly Gladiator beats the sh*t out of Darkseid
If you want real scans of jobbing there are dozens and dozens of examples of Darksied acting like a tomato can Real Comics Not Spiderman comics from the 60s, not photoshops REAL STORIES
Like I was saying some of you fanboys are just sour grapes that Thanos never became a jobberseid?
@BatDance: jeeze slow your role, ever heard of a JOKE, last time i checked thanos was a darkseid rip off that was got what god powers TWICE and lost them, also the photoshop pics is a JOKE get over yourself, you call me a whiney superman fan? you sound more like a whiney thanos fan you can't seem to understand that darkseid having some PIS is how comics go, what about thanos getting his heart ripped out by drax when he was not looking? thats not something ''old'' thanos would let happen, you idea seems to be that if a person with over 20 years of comic story behind them has some PIS showing them become a jobber, your logic is flawed since no one wants to see darkseid ALWAYS one shot superman, most people know with common sense then he can and has proven it like here
and most of YOU pics have been a avatar of darksied like the one with him and doomsday, what about darkseid killing supergirl with one go and his omega beams, thats also post crisis, or in his final crisis showing where his very pressence was going to destroy the universe? your acting like a child who has had there fav toy taken away by some older brother (the toy being thanos and the older borther being darkseid) darkseid is less stronger then his past self, people know that but yet you turn around in other times and call pre-crisis superman over powered as well, get a LIFE and pick a side already, thanos in the IG arc was stupid enough to LOSE that power and then AGAIN in HOTU arc he lost it AGAIN two feats that just shows you how stupid thanos is at keeping power when he gets it, when darkseid GETS power he does one of two things, loses it to a more powerful being or gives it up, but not with thanos NOOO in the IG arc the glove was TAKEN OFF him like WTF kinda fail is that, theres also times where thanos can as you like to show ''pimp'' slap drax and others then at times thanos gets ONE shotted by them, also if thanos can't fight odin on normal terms and gets his a$$ kicked by a sky father level being what does that tell you? darkseid IS sky-father level and has shown it a couple times, like locking ALL of cetrain group of heros in a telepathic mind lock without so much as a second though, darkseid losing to orion means nothing since ONE orion is a superman level ebing and above with his own cosmic power and darkseid is also his FATHER so WTF kinda mind seems to think thats a ''job'' fight, and before you even say anything that fight is NOT the same as the drax and thanos fight since orion and darkseid had been fighting for a while and drax ONE shotted thanos who as you like to show pimp slapped a while ago, then you also have thanos asking SS in another acr to kill him like a B!TCH, and thats not a act of a sweet villian to ask to be killed it's more or a lame way out, when darkseid was talking about how he was dieing thats the way a villian of darkseids power SHOULD act do to him being so powerful he does not WANT to die, get a clue and get out of here before i come back.
" darkseid IS sky-father level and has shown it a couple times "
I would argue differently, Pre Crisis was Skyfather might even have some feats that put him above Skyfather
but Post Crisis is a joke
Jobberseid's Omega Effect
block it by making a funny face Doomsday blocks it with his knee Out run it, Superman flies faster than it driving it around into Jobberseid's back Wonder Woman reflects the Omega Beams Superman stops the OE out right by punching Jobberseid until his eyes swell shut leaving him blind and begging for mercy more jobbing
No LSD comics from the 60s
No photoshops
It's Official.He's now a tomato can. The Darkseid name means nothing anymore Kirby must be turning in his grave and the sucky writing
" @rein: thats because marvel chooses to focus on characters that are actually relatable "
I never said that Marvel characters are bad, Just that The more popular ones are street levelers. @BatDance said:
" @rein said:
" Because most of the well known DC Characters are powerhouses, while marvel's most popular characters tend to be streetlevelers "
but outside of the Spot Light Marvel has a lot more than street levelers
Again, Those characters are not all that popular. I did not say that marvel characters were necessarily weaker, i was answering your questing as to why they were perceived that way.
I think people bash Thanos because he has fans on this site that overrate him.
He's a very powerful threat, and IMO could beat those that are below sub-skyfather level. But there are some who give him the IG and Prep in a fight because they can't stand seeing him lose (people are used to darkseid and supes losing because they've lost before and are still respected and powerful characters). Whenever Thanoswas on the losing end any confrontation (Ka-Zar of Thor), Starlin was there to recton it away because he couldn't stand seeing his creation lose, and writers would introduce some type of way for him to beat characters like galactus and the maker (beyonder's female form).
Eventually characters that become walking plot devices and/or become unbeatable and unstoppable are no fun, especially when they appear way too much.
I don't understand how the biggest troll on the forums can whine about something that he does.The OP is just as biased as the people he's making this thread about.
Yes..there was a point where he wouldn't even make an argument just post waves and waves of cut of scans that don't prove anything and that were purposely cropped to make one character look like they can beat another.

I think the biggest difference is the mindset between Marvel and DC comics
Marvel comics is usually about Under-Powered heroes facing over whelming odds, multiple human problems, multiple villains and still they some how getting on top of things. DC comics minus the Batman, is generally about Over-Powered Heroes, facing some weak sneaky villain, they scold them, tell them not to rob the bank again and the weak villains come back another day to try and foil the big iconic overpowered hero
Minus the good old Bat, let's look at some of the rogues gallery of the most popular DC heroes FLASH He's heroic, he's loved, he's funny, he's fast Granted his superpowers by an act of god, a combo of chemicals and a magic bolt from the blue Public Perception they love him he's super fast Got a problem, don't worry Flash has lots of friends, we have Uncle Flash, Kid Flash, Mommy Flash, JesseFlash, I'm not sure where the family linage goes here but I'm pretty sure she has a daddy called Johnny Quick...point is he will never run out of friends or speed Got a difficult villain, don't worry we can just run very fast like light speed fast and smack them with an Infinite Mass Punch, or if they don't feel pain then just chuck the bad guy into a big glowing whirlpool called Speed Force, its kinda like the delete button on your keybord, its a way of putting everything into the trash can Typical Enemies Captain Cold he's basically Mr Freeze but he has a nasty gun and its more cold, the Trickster...think of a bad version of Green Goblin but this time he uses explosive teddy bears, Captain Boomerang ok these is getting lame...forget the Flash and his super speed Spider-Man could solo all these chumps
SUPERMAN He's iconic, he's got tonnes on fanboys in the comics and in the real world, he's stronger than anyone, faster than anyone and he can be a superdick taking cigarettes away from everyone and stopping teenages from drinking and nobody would blink an eye to his megalomania, no matter what Superman does all of Metropolis and all of DC Universe would still love him. Public Perception he's the best, we love his cape and we love his red underpants Brought up on a farm with the perfect ever loving family the Kents, they were loving, always around, not only did they cook him breakfast, pay for his school the Kents even made his damn costume for him. Experienced tragedy like Batman and Spiderman, but he was a baby so he doesn't remember jack. Supes: "My planet blew up?" "Who gives a F*%k! I don't remember it. I got a perfect new planet to live on, much nicer parents and a really easy number at my Newspaper, my boss is 100 times nice than JJ." " Oh yeah and my girlfriend, I don't have to go chasing after her like Mary Jane. Lois is much easier to satisfy, she's like one of those old un-liberated stereotypes you find in a 1950s movie. She will even throw herself out a window to get my attention. " Powers, didn't have to work for them or be worthy or anything. Got them automatically thanks to my alien physiology, give me those yellow sun rays and I can fly faster than a bullet and throw trucks and ships around like baseballs. Enemies - Some criminal, an ordinary bank robber. Against a guy like me who stops bullets with his eyeball, piece of cake....unless the criminal has a green rock where by your good old Superman digs deep pushes a bit harder, gets back up after his kryptonite exposure and whoops this silly criminal. Why does Superman win so easy, because he's that f*cking super. Livewire, a girl with electricity - meh Lex Luthor, a baldy real estate agent. A supposed genius who still hasn't figured out how to end Superman. unless Luthor has found a green rock where by Superman digs deep pushes a bit harder, gets back up after his kryptonite exposure and whoops this silly real estate agent. Why because Superman is that f*cking super. Other enimeis Grundy, some zombified beefcake with no speed, no flight, no super breath, no heat vision....you get the picture Zod, an older cranky version of Superman who was a mad dictator when Superman was a baby. Thankfully Superman has him beat on youth and he's not soaked up as much yellow sun as Superman. All Superman needs to do is put a little extra wham behind those punches and this old fart is back into the history books. Bizarro this is like a really lame version of Superman, he is mentally challenged and fights like a monkey. He's the type of guy who would be unable to go to the toilet by himself Heck Superman might solo all these idiots on the one night and still be home in time for cornflakes
Take a look at the rogues gallery of some of the most popular Marvel heroes IRONMAN - Drink, he's an Alcoholic, so he's almost F*cked from day one Has zero superpowers, every fight he gets into he has to build and invent and bleed his way out of it Public Perception he's an arms dealer, registration, the commies already hate him, now the hippies and half the US public hate him Even his friends spent half the day trying to knife him in the back, or he gets into a brawl with his fellow heroes and has some of his teeth knocked out We haven't even moved on to his enemies yet, Enemies - Crimson Dynamo a Russian who is almost his equal in everything apart from Whiskey drinking Mandarin, a guy who is almost as powerful as a top Lantern and he's such a wacky expert in old forms of Kungfu that Mandarin can beat the hell out of Tony with even with no mystic rings. Then you have guys like Count Nefaria, who is almost a silver age Superman....Tony if he ever had to face all his enemies at once is probably screwed
THOR - Family nightmare, half of them are nasty and ruthless, has a step-brother who is always plotting against him, trying to trick him, even kill him Public Perception, he's a barbarian lunatic with the powers of a God or he's a mentally disturbed Dr. Blake and should be thrown into a mental hospital Enemies - The Hulk, the strongest guy on Earth, and Thor has to constantly face him in hand to hand battle Skurge the Executioner more or less Thor's equal in battle The Midgard Serpant, invulnerable to injury, bigger than a city, ability to cause floods earth quakes land slides just by moving around A Celestial, its only one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe Atum the God Eater he only comsumes other Gods and Hela the Asgardian Goddess of Death Thor is out muscled, out powered and out gunned.
SPIDERMAN A working man's burden, has to put up with a screaming JJ at the office who only wants photos to incriminate Spider-Man as a vigilante and a villain. The girl he's after has her own troubles, comes from an abusive house, then Mary Jane makes it with her modeling career and Peter has to chase her as she began dating many other actors and famous people. Pete barley has time to study, write papers, often can't pay the rent, parents were never there and his father figure, his Uncle gets murdered in his first comic. Enemies Sinister Six - Enough said It's pot luck Peter has managed to stay alive this long.
Of Course Superman wasn't always so invincible, all that started to change with introductions of stories from Moore, Starlin, Jack Kirby suddenly we had people like Mongul and Darkseid coming in and beating not just Superman but entire teams of JLA. Then came the Crisis, DC was to make Superman a little less powerful so the watered him down but that meant his villains would be much stronger. So the DC writers really watered them down, Mongul now needed devices or rings to ever be a threat again and Darkseid became a jobber. DC felt if it had powerful villains that would easily beat Superman it would some how make him less SUPER Hence why both have been relegated to Tomato Can status
no malice intended BatDance, but i think your dead wrong as to both the reason and source of Thanos bashing. for one its not DC fans, its Marvel fans too, and the larger thing being bashed isnt the character himself (though sometimes), its the " uber perception " that is being bashed. because that version of Thanos isnt Thanos . alot of people play up Thanos as uber because of his feats, which were actually accomplished with the Guantlet. but they act like thats Thanos all the time, which its not. Thanos otherwise is not top do in the MU, not even close. thats okay in my book really. it was cool for that one time deal, but i rather like the focus on writing his character in a sophistacated manner otherwise as his foremost asset is supposed to be his intellect. Darkseid really doesnt factor in, and the fact that he's been reduced sucks a bit really. he's supposed to be uber all the time. as for the DC fans doing it, all i can say is go over to marvel.com, and read the first couple pages of Thanos's Respect thread. its nothing but straight up Thanos dissing. and thats from Marvel fans. the reason? they were just as sick of Thanos uberness, with no real logical reasons given for why.
as for jobbing, or being displayed ridiculously, it happens to all characters eventually, and that eventual will happen sooner the more in the spotlight they are. theres not really any complex factors involved, this is just done. you know well that any character that can be named who has been in enough comics has PIS/CIS/WIS moments. both Thanos and Darkseid are big targets for this, but so are many others.
Thanos is bada$$. So is Darkseid. You can post jobber pics for both but their accomplishments are immense. Respect both cause both are worth it. You don't need to bash one to make the other greater. Use some reasoning and put the accomplishments side by side and you decide for yourself who's greater. I'm a SS fan so I naturally lean towards Thanos.

Want to talk jobber's let's talk about Galactus he's supposed to be equal to Eternity but he's constantly the victim of some of the worst pis in comics and he's a Marvel character.
Point is both companies do it because at the end of the day it's pretty damn hard to write for such powerful characters even if their bad guys, nevermind good guys.

Minus the good old Bat, let's look at some of the rogues gallery of the most popular DC heroes FLASH He's heroic, he's loved, he's funny, he's fast Granted his superpowers by an act of god, a combo of chemicals and a magic bolt from the blue Public Perception they love him he's super fast Got a problem, don't worry Flash has lots of friends, we have Uncle Flash, Kid Flash, Mommy Flash, JesseFlash, I'm not sure where the family linage goes here but I'm pretty sure she has a daddy called Johnny Quick...point is he will never run out of friends or speed Got a difficult villain, don't worry we can just run very fast like light speed fast and smack them with an Infinite Mass Punch, or if they don't feel pain then just chuck the bad guy into a big glowing whirlpool called Speed Force, its kinda like the delete button on your keybord, its a way of putting everything into the trash can Typical Enemies Captain Cold he's basically Mr Freeze but he has a nasty gun and its more cold, the Trickster...think of a bad version of Green Goblin but this time he uses explosive teddy bears, Captain Boomerang ok these is getting lame...forget the Flash and his super speed Spider-Man could solo all these chumps
SUPERMAN He's iconic, he's got tonnes on fanboys in the comics and in the real world, he's stronger than anyone, faster than anyone and he can be a superdick taking cigarettes away from everyone and stopping teenages from drinking and nobody would blink an eye to his megalomania, no matter what Superman does all of Metropolis and all of DC Universe would still love him. Public Perception he's the best, we love his cape and we love his red underpants Brought up on a farm with the perfect ever loving family the Kents, they were loving, always around, not only did they cook him breakfast, pay for his school the Kents even made his damn costume for him. Experienced tragedy like Batman and Spiderman, but he was a baby so he doesn't remember jack. Supes: "My planet blew up?" "Who gives a F*%k! I don't remember it. I got a perfect new planet to live on, much nicer parents and a really easy number at my Newspaper, my boss is 100 times nice than JJ." " Oh yeah and my girlfriend, I don't have to go chasing after her like Mary Jane. Lois is much easier to satisfy, she's like one of those old un-liberated stereotypes you find in a 1950s movie. She will even throw herself out a window to get my attention. " Powers, didn't have to work for them or be worthy or anything. Got them automatically thanks to my alien physiology, give me those yellow sun rays and I can fly faster than a bullet and throw trucks and ships around like baseballs. Enemies - Some criminal, an ordinary bank robber. Against a guy like me who stops bullets with his eyeball, piece of cake....unless the criminal has a green rock where by your good old Superman digs deep pushes a bit harder, gets back up after his kryptonite exposure and whoops this silly criminal. Why does Superman win so easy, because he's that f*cking super. Livewire, a girl with electricity - meh Lex Luthor, a baldy real estate agent. A supposed genius who still hasn't figured out how to end Superman. unless Luthor has found a green rock where by Superman digs deep pushes a bit harder, gets back up after his kryptonite exposure and whoops this silly real estate agent. Why because Superman is that f*cking super. Other enimeis Grundy, some zombified beefcake with no speed, no flight, no super breath, no heat vision....you get the picture Zod, an older cranky version of Superman who was a mad dictator when Superman was a baby. Thankfully Superman has him beat on youth and he's not soaked up as much yellow sun as Superman. All Superman needs to do is put a little extra wham behind those punches and this old fart is back into the history books. Bizarro this is like a really lame version of Superman, he is mentally challenged and fights like a monkey. He's the type of guy who would be unable to go to the toilet by himself Heck Superman might solo all these idiots on the one night and still be home in time for cornflakes
Take a look at the rogues gallery of some of the most popular Marvel heroes IRONMAN - Drink, he's an Alcoholic, so he's almost F*cked from day one Has zero superpowers, every fight he gets into he has to build and invent and bleed his way out of it Public Perception he's an arms dealer, registration, the commies already hate him, now the hippies and half the US public hate him Even his friends spent half the day trying to knife him in the back, or he gets into a brawl with his fellow heroes and has some of his teeth knocked out We haven't even moved on to his enemies yet, Enemies - Crimson Dynamo a Russian who is almost his equal in everything apart from Whiskey drinking Mandarin, a guy who is almost as powerful as a top Lantern and he's such a wacky expert in old forms of Kungfu that Mandarin can beat the hell out of Tony with even with no mystic rings. Then you have guys like Count Nefaria, who is almost a silver age Superman....Tony if he ever had to face all his enemies at once is probably screwed
THOR - Family nightmare, half of them are nasty and ruthless, has a step-brother who is always plotting against him, trying to trick him, even kill him Public Perception, he's a barbarian lunatic with the powers of a God or he's a mentally disturbed Dr. Blake and should be thrown into a mental hospital Enemies - The Hulk, the strongest guy on Earth, and Thor has to constantly face him in hand to hand battle Skurge the Executioner more or less Thor's equal in battle The Midgard Serpant, invulnerable to injury, bigger than a city, ability to cause floods earth quakes land slides just by moving around A Celestial, its only one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe Atum the God Eater he only comsumes other Gods and Hela the Asgardian Goddess of Death Thor is out muscled, out powered and out gunned.
SPIDERMAN A working man's burden, has to put up with a screaming JJ at the office who only wants photos to incriminate Spider-Man as a vigilante and a villain. The girl he's after has her own troubles, comes from an abusive house, then Mary Jane makes it with her modeling career and Peter has to chase her as she began dating many other actors and famous people. Pete barley has time to study, write papers, often can't pay the rent, parents were never there and his father figure, his Uncle gets murdered in his first comic. Enemies Sinister Six - Enough said It's pot luck Peter has managed to stay alive this long.
Of Course Superman wasn't always so invincible, all that started to change with introductions of stories from Moore, Starlin, Jack Kirby suddenly we had people like Mongul and Darkseid coming in and beating not just Superman but entire teams of JLA. Then came the Crisis, DC was to make Superman a little less powerful so the watered him down but that meant his villains would be much stronger. So the DC writers really watered them down, Mongul now needed devices or rings to ever be a threat again and Darkseid became a jobber. DC felt if it had powerful villains that would easily beat Superman it would some how make him less SUPER Hence why both have been relegated to Tomato Can status "
for someone who does not like dc u sure read alot of it
" darkseid IS sky-father level and has shown it a couple times "
I would argue differently, Pre Crisis was Skyfather might even have some feats that put him above Skyfather
but Post Crisis is a joke
Jobberseid's Omega Effect
block it by making a funny face Doomsday blocks it with his knee Out run it, Superman flies faster than it driving it around into Jobberseid's back Wonder Woman reflects the Omega Beams Superman stops the OE out right by punching Jobberseid until his eyes swell shut leaving him blind and begging for mercy more jobbing
No LSD comics from the 60s
No photoshops
It's Official.He's now a tomato can. The Darkseid name means nothing anymore Kirby must be turning in his grave and the sucky writing "
Darkseid got depowered, not many fans anymore The cult that stay around worshiping the new guy are just a bunch of sour puss motherf#ckers
