Talk:Thanos VS Darkseid/@comment-97641-20181129190612

The previews clearly show Thanos with the IG, which I think will make it impossible for Darkseid to win.


 * Time Stone: even if Darkseid is as fast as Superman or Flash; Thanos can just freeze time. Even if Darkseid has time manipulation powers; so does Thanos.
 * Power Stone: even if Darkseid can match the infinite strength of Superman and survived the strength of Superman's punches; Thanos has done the same with the Hulk.
 * Mind Stone: even if Darkseid can match the intelligence of Superman or Brainiac; the Mind Stone gives the user infinite intelligence, wisdom, tactics, ect... Even if Darkseid has mind control or reading powers; so does Thanos.
 * Reality Stone: Mister Mxyzptlk was able to dominate Darkseid on multiple occasions due to being a reality warper. The Reality Stone gives Thanos the ability to both create and resist reality warping on any scale.
 * Noticeable Defeats: Darkseid is consistently defeated by the Justice League in fair fights; He has also been overpowered or overshadowed by non-magical characters like Superman, Doomsday and Imperiex. Living Tribunal and God Doom were the only characters potentially able to defeat an IG wielding Thanos, and that is still debatable. The One Above All (the literal god of Marvel) is the only character to overpower Thanos with the IG. Otherwise; defeating Thanos normally requires deception, weakness exploitation or Thanos intentionally surrendering out of boredom or disinterest.

I know both characters well, but I see no possible way for Darkseid to defeat Thanos. Stealing the IG is impossible if the IG controls reality, time and space to an infinite magnitude; and Darkseid (in a crossover event) was unable to use the IG at all since the IG doesn't work with non-marvel characters and Darkseid has no experience or knowledge on how to use it.
