Which is why I started with Adam Warlock. He's nowhere near Thanos' league in a fight, but he has a guaranteed irrevocable off-switch that Thanos can't avoid or withstand. Also, Drax was only able to kill Thanos at that moment because Death chose that moment for Thanos to die. Drax....literally had nothing to do with it.
He said the weakest characters that could beat Thanos. Lancer, Tohno Shiki and a Fraga were amongst those who were weakest while having a chance at beating him when the time is right, since each has a form of hax to get around his hax (ie lancer auto hits, laughs at your attempts to heal, and waits for the world to show how he hit, Fraga can instant kill in response to his best attack and Shiki is well Shiki, instant death, one touch." If I was going for Higher Powered characters, I'd say Gilgamesh fighting seriously or Ryougi Shiki, but it isn't higher powered characters hes looking for.
The real Thanos stands 6'7" according to Marvel.com. Unless those cops and punks are the tallest cops and punks in the city, I'm calling Thanos-Clone. If that's Darkseid, then I'm definitely calling clone/avatar, as the real Darkseid is 8'9". Anyway, Thanos is brilliant, but he does have weaknesses. Unfortunately, they're all mental. It's well known (even to himself) that he loses a lot of the time because he ultimately wants to lose. So while it would be an amazingly dangerous game for her, I'd suggest trying to make someone like Moonstone his companion and see what sort of luck she has in taking him down via psychology.
I gotta admit, that's a real low point for a guy who is probably used to hanging with cosmics. Did they read him his Miranda rights? lol EDIT later that evening- Wife: "How was work, honey?" Cop: "Caught a purse snatcher outside Penn Station. Oh, and arrested some guy called Thanos."
I'm pretty sure that Thanos arrested thing was from a non canon children's comic or something. Not sure where the Darkseid one came from...
Thanos came from Spidey Super Stories. Aimed at ages 6-10 and basically kid-friendly parodies of actual arcs. The Thanos one featured Thanos in his awesome helicopter, with the cosmic cube, making puns. And yes, it bends canon over a treestump and violates it in unspeakable ways. Darkseid on the other hand................
After much puzzle bullshit, Problem Sleuth might be able to beat Thanos... And no one commented on my Susan recommendation.
I doubt anything other than level 4 (even that's debatable) would bother Thanos. That said level 4 tore even Killy's arm off when fired. I'm pretty sure there'd be a GBE sized and shaped hole through the child. Now....for weakest? A single Ashaman firing Balefire.
Right....How does Balefire interact with forcefields? Because I'm assuming the firer isn't going to survive Thanos' retaliation.
Not just forcefields, but LAYERED forcefields-at least three. That might actually be one of the best ways to deal with Balefire, because they're being constantly produced from a generator-first forcefield ceases to exist, well, the generator would then PRODUCE a forcefield... and splash from the penetration of the first forcefield gets caught by the second, while the first one gets brought up again to block the balefire. Aka, the forcefields might well prevent Thanos from being hit with the balefire, and his retaliation would most certainly remove the Ashaman from the map.
That's not how balefire works against shields and other inanimate objects. It simply keeps going. It hits the first forcefield and punches through, then the second, then the third, etc.. It's not that the beam will erase shield 1 and stop. So that entire theory doesn't work unless they're somehow immune/resistant/whatever to time dickery. Now, Balefire DOES "fizzle" out upon hitting an organic and living thing. The beam enveloping the target and stopping there rather than going on into infinity. But it also destroys the entire target regardless of where it hits. So if it grazed a toe the entire person is gone. With inanimate objects it simply punches a hole through it. So a rock with have a perfectly round hole where Balefire shot through rather than the entire thing up and vanishing.
Force fields are not 'shields and other inanimate objects'. Pretty sure Captain America wouldn't have survived being enveloped in a spherical ball of Galactus hate because he was carrying a shield. And I found no reference to Balefire's interaction with a force field, so I have to ask again; How does it?
The closest thing was "air shields". There are no energy shields in WoT. But why would it automatically just not work on an energy shield like it does anything else inanimate...? Especially without feats for time fuckery resistance.
Because, in the Vs. forum, things from different universes work as intended unless proven otherwise and since we don't have any data on how Balefire works on a Force Field, the Force Field works as intended. If we had actual instances of Balefire going through a force field, then the balefire would work as such. Since we don't, the non-planet-destroying balefire splashes harmlessly against Thanos' force field, and Thanos obliterates the offender.
I call bullshit and that you have it backwards. Balefire isn't some random DET style energy attack. It's a beam of "lulzno" in a very literal sense. So no, Thanos' shields need to show resistance to time dickery as I mentioned because it's not such a simple attack.
Okay, there's this new game called askamod. I've asked you twice how it interacts with forcefields and since you've come back empty, you'll need evidence of some sort that it would ignore an energy barrier as though it were a physical object. Without evidence that balefire ignores force fields, it doesn't.
I'd say Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap if it manages to pull Thanos into another dimension, have him meet his alternative self and cause both of them to combined and annihilate each other. Or Gold Experience Requiem which can no-sell anything Thanos can do and put him in an infinite death loop if he doesn't have the Infinity Gauntlet or the Heart Of The Universe.
We're still dealing with the inherent properties to balefire. It retroactively erases anything it touches that isn't outright immune/resistant to time fuckery. Even in its own setting. Even abstract/energy beings. Even constructs of energy. So no, it hasn't interacted with technobabble energy shields. But it still carries properties that you (as the Thanos supporter in this case) need to prove his shields can contend with. That being ridiculously wanky time dickery. 'cause as far as I've ever seen they're just brute force shields.
It also expends some of its power on such-it can cut through large amounts of material, but it doesn't propagate indefinitely. Otherwise there would be some very strange holes in the planet. The trick with the forcefields is that they're always up, and if they DON'T exist the shield generator begins to regenerate them. So if the shield is balefired, it disappears in the past, the forcefield generator IN THE PAST goes "oh, hey, need a new shield" and... creates another shield, which the stream of Balefire has to deal with AGAIN. And Thanos has multiple such shields. Using as much Balefire as, say, Moiraine did against Sammael-enough to erase a man for a second-isn't going to be very helpful with the multi-layered shields, especially since the shield has to be taken down multiple times.
