Thanos Resistances

No, we don't use King Thanos for anything. Nothing he does scales or applies to Past/Current Thanos. But almost all Past/Current Thanos' things would apply to him. (Note to self: make profile for King Thanos at some point. Maybe.)

But I digress.

As for the stuff here:

I don't really know if should give Thanos a resistance or not. On one hand, Lord Chaos and Master Order were able to affect him but he's also a reality warper. So, it's not unlikely that he can just warp himself back to normal as he overpowers them.

I could definitely see Resistance to Cosmic Awareness and Fate Manip. Ascausality seems a little too much, but that's just my gut instinct talking and I tend towards more conservative estimates with comics. So make of that what you will.

Immortality Type 5 for IG Thanos also makes sense. He's beyond Death in every meaning of the word, so yeah...

I don't really see a problem with Resistance to Void Manip.

Also, since we're bringing it up resistances, I found this: Thanos gets the electrical synapses of his brain stopped. And survives. Now, it's noted this would kill a normal being but all it really does is knock Thanos out. What would/should we consider this? Resistance to Biological Manipulation?
 
Resistance to cosmic awareness is fine to me. Anything more than that seems exaggerated.

Immortality type 5 is a former ability as far as I am aware.
 
I think it's a resistence when he focuses because he is being be warped and about to split into two contradictory halfs but than stops it and blasts them away.

It just goes to show when Thanos actually focuses the abstracts can't do anything to him. It's the same with any IG user. Even those with little focus and intellectual capacity

And then there's the fact that he's allowing this to happen because he already knows what they're going to do.
 
Type 5 Immortality is a big no, that's just speculation. He was above Death, so what? He had the same position over everyone else who later tried to kill him along with Death. He got affected by Lord Chaos and Master Order and Empathic haxed by those two ladies (whose names I can't remember) but then he just has to be immune to death?

He has death manip, that is all.
 
I mostly agree with Eficiente. I think that Thanos did command legions of the dead at one point, yes, so he should have death manipulation.
 
It isn't speculation at all it's what's stated. He's beyond death which mean he's beyond her influence. Death is in charge of all death in the universe so if he's beyond her he should have Type 5. Also Type 5 is for IG not his base.

You do realize Thanos wasn't serious at all in the fight against the abstracts. Right? Otherwise it would've went a little like this or this or this instantly.

Ant, thats not even death manipulation....
 
He isn't beyond Death. He was just expelled from her realm at one point.

Anyway, Yobo is correct. My bad. No death manipulation for Thanos.
 
@EmperorRorepme He's more powerful than Death and can control her, there it ends what he has. He's not truly beyond Death, only on the context said before, anything more is a made a power contradicted with what's shown.

I'm not referring to Base Thanos. I'm talking about IG Thanos. Base Thanos was expelled. IG Thanos is just completely beyond her.

Okay. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
 
It's stated he's beyond Death and it nothing contradicts that. It even makes sense considering how superior IG users are to abstracts.

Thanos was playing around in that fight which is why he was affected. When he didn't want them to affect him, they couldn't in the slightest. The same goes for any other IG user as I've shown.

@Ant It's fine.
 
The context of that is incredibly clear, he's just referring to their resurrections, which a true deathless being would not have. It just refers to how pointless killing them is. Type 4 makes as much sense if it weren't poetic, which is not.

@EmperorRorepme It doesn't matter how much powerful than the abstracts he was, that's no power, just derailment here.
 
Try not to judge me for the nature of the question:

Is Thanos' page... regarding only information from the 90s or do we allow modern / retconned information in?
 
The Infinity Gauntlet section is pre retcon from as far as I know. No post retcon feats or abilities are included in there. If it was post retcon I doubt the statistics would be that high especially range. In post retcon range should be at most universal+.
 
Anyway it's not so much that Thanos' existence changed in Marvel. It's more so the Infinity Gauntlet changed and powerscaling became a mess.
 
It's not pre-retcon, the profile was just outdated AF and I decided to help by researching and reading comics of that time as opposed to randomly adding him powers he used in any point of his life. The research is still going but it takes time and effort and I'm doing other stuff.

Do we have to make another key?
 
It is pre-retcon for the time being. Since it only covers pre-retcon feats and abilities. Yes another key needs to be made because post-retcon isn't multiversal+ in range.
 
As far as I'm aware, we only make tabs / pages for profiles which retcons are extreme tier-wise, like the Beyonder's case.

Regardless, if the page is outdated, then okay, if you guys want, I could just edit / open the page accordingly now.

How about we just add it to his stamina as an example of what it takes to actually knock him out? We state that even Thor and Silver Surfer, who are heavy hitters for most hero teams, can't really cause enough trauma knock the guy out. Also, it does show how resilent Thanos is physically. I mean, stopping all electrical synaspes in his brain mess with a lot various systems including memory, motor control, sensory perception, cognition, etc.
 
Legit I forgot stamina was a part of the profiles for the last months, that's probably all good.
 
Maybe Sandman31 and PrinceOfTheMorning are willing to help us out?
 
You can ask them to comment here again via their message walls if you wish.
 
The scans Matt posted in the other thread that were used to support the 2-A/High 2-A rating were from what would be considered "post-retcon". There was a bit of discussion in the other thread about adding a Variable tier depending on the user. I think that would make more sense than a flat-out Pre/Post-Retcon alteration to the profile.
 
Okay. I suppose that seems fine.
 
I think pre retcon IG should be still be considered the same multiversal tier because pre retcon IG is superior to the abstracts who are superior to the celestials who are "infinitely above" or another level of infinity in comparison to cosmic cubes like Kubik and Magus with multiple cosmic cubes could bind Eternity. Post Retcon IG should be multiversal tier because of what Prince said the only problem now is the abilities in the tab.
 
Cosmic Cubes have since been able to overpower Eternity or multiple Celestials at the same time. You are citing retconned information.
 
5 cubes overpowered Eternity during the Infinity War back in the early 1990s.
 
IG was able to do the same thing with a flick. Thanos said IG was superior to 1 cube. 5 cubes are just exponentially more powerful than 1.
 
The point is that the Celestials being infinitely stronger than cosmic cubes was quickly ignored and contradicted. As far as I remember, nothing was stated about combined cubes being exponentially stronger than the sum of their parts.
