Superman vs. Thanos

[The Arbiter]

Superman is Sun Dipped and charged up. Arena. 616 Thanos.

1: Post Crisis Clark.

2: Nu/Rebirth Clark.

post crisis clark: even sun dipped, i'm iffy on him actually hurting thanos TBH.

Nu/rebirth clark: not too familiar with his newer stuff.

As I recall the sun dipped Superman in OWAW wasn't able to do much apart from push a planet or something. As Thanos survives planet busting attacks evidently he will just make him his bitch.

This is where I'm at as well

Isn't pretty well-established on these boards that you need nothing less than Pre-COIE Earth-1 Superman to have a good shot at beating Thanos without PIS?

And even then Kal may still well lose if he can't blitz Thanos unconscious fast enough before Thanos gets a TP thought off.

Give Pre-COIE Supes a tp-resistant helmet like Magneto's ... only then it's a wrap in clear favor of Supes.

But once you start bringing special gear into play, the Mad Titan could get the IG or HOTU.

Of course, ultimately Supes has the Thought Robot, so ....

I swear, I had a point going into this!

Last time I even /hinted/ at PC Supes maybe having a shot against Thanos, I was violently transmorgrified into a restaurant. Sooo... I'm not touching this with a 10 foot pole haha.

I will point out that Post Crisis and onwards, Clark has better resistances to his various weaknesses then his PC self did.

That is a fair point. Not sure if it is enough though.
