Dr Manhattan (movie version) vs Thanos with the gauntlet

Dr Manhattan vs thanos
whose reality altering powers will prevail?

[choptop]

Just going off what we see in the movie there's nothing he can really do to keep Dr M down likewise I don't think Dr M can do a lot to Thanos can he?

[Shellhead]

After an inconclusive battle, Thanos just asks Dr. Manhattan to put on some trousers. Then they sit and talk.

[hulahulk]

I'm assuming we are talking MCU Thanos.

The OP only specifies which Dr. M.

Book Thanos with the IG turns Dr. M into a toy Smurf.

I agree with Choptop based on my recollection of Dr. M's scenes.

Could Thanos give Dr. Manhattan a physical body again, and then kill him?

[Twickster]

Am I missing something here? What kind of feats does Dr. Manhattan have that put him even with a full Infinity Gauntlet Thanos?

[BitVyper]

Manhattan's body is physical, he's just really good at quickly reconstructing it.

For what it's worth ...

There was one What if comic where during the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, Thanos decided a better punishment for Galactus would be to turn him into a human and trap him on earth with no memory.

Heh. Pretty good if you ask me.

[hulahulk]

So, is this comic IG or not? I guess I'm missing something, too.

I'm going to be a stickler here and point out that Dr. Manhattan doesn't have reality warping powers. At least not in the movie (not sure what it's like with DC's latest train wreck).

He raises a giant glass/crystal structure out of the ground while on Mars. Other heroes say he can turn bullets into snowflakes and the like.

Oh, he's a solid matter manipulator, and in many cases, that's nearly the same thing, but he can't change a law of physics, or make something happen that simply isn't particularly possible.

Doc Manhattan works for a long time to come up with a potent energy source with Ozy. A good reality warper would just make it appear. He made a bubble of air for Silk on Mars when she couldn't breathe. A reality warper could have just made her not need to breathe. And then there's the question of the cancer patients: a reality warper should be able to just wish that bye-bye, no blood, no foul.

Hmm I suppose it could be some form of transmutation. Fair enough.

Lets be honest though, his powers should have been more than enough to get rid of cancer regardless.

Is there anything keeping Manhattan from deconstructing the Gauntlet or at least removing the gems? (MCU Thanos)
