Would anyone read a Cable vs Thanos story by Marvel ?

They're both major characters in certain events, they're both being portrayed by the same man, and they've both fought Deadpool. Would anyone read a Thanos vs Cable story by Marvel ?

That feels like a relatively dumb mismatch, but anything is possible if the story is set up right and well-executed. Seems a bit much just for an in-joke. Maybe a one-off Deadpool issue, though.

Given Cable's time travel exploits he surely must have heard of Thanos in one way or another.

Bumping this thread to put in the suggestion of Cable hunting for the Infinity Stone for Time. What if Cable had it and Thanos wanted it: Would that make a reason for them to fight ?

[Skedatz]

I imagine people who want to see Cable stomped hard.

[Michael Watkins]

I'd rather see Apocalypse get his rear stomped by Thanos

[Chainsaw Vigilante]

It'd be hilarious if Apocalypse killed Thanos in his future and they showed it like when Doom absolutely humiliated him in Secret Wars.

Ridiculous mismatches are kind of the thing to do in comics, though. I don't know if the current version of Thanos has any robotic implants, but if he does, maybe Cable still has enough of the T-virus running around in his system to exploit a vulnerability? He doesn't have to defeat Thanos in order for it to make for a good telling, though. I much prefer it when the laws of the universe hold and the really, really, REALLY powerful person beats the crap out of the lesser powered opponent, no matter how brilliant, experienced, tweaked and game said opponent is. It's amazing what the human mind can learn from even the most brutal of failures.

I think there was a story back in the 90's of Nate Grey (and the Hulk) fighting Thanos. I barely remember it though.

But that's sort of a proximation of Cable fighting Thanos. Though Nate is a lot more powerful most of the time.

not as funny as Apocalypse being torn in half by Magneto or Doom's loss to Ant-Man...

[Rosebunse]

I feel like this story has a lot of potential.

And Thanos going up against Apocalypse would be fun.

[Michael Watkins]

I'd settle for En Sabah Nur and Thanos simply having a chat. they have some stuff in common ex. being deformed from birth. they also share a tendency to form armies after separating the strong from the weak.

[WebLurker]

I don't follow either character, so I wouldn't buy it blind, but I'd give it a shot if the library had it.

If either or both of the characters' most recent writers were involved then sure! Cable had Zac Thompson/Lonnie Nadler (The Dregs). And Thanos had Donny Cates (God Country, Redneck, Babyteeth, Doctor Strange, Venom). Any of them would convince me to read it.

They were also each made fun of in their youth for their appearances. I feel like they would get along for a few minutes.
