The Anti-Monitor's vast intelligence and cosmic understanding could also play a role in his defeat of Thanos. He could outsmart Thanos, exploiting his weaknesses and neutralizing his power.
Armed with his new tools for battle, Thor defeats the Angry Titan by smashing his head with Mjolnir. In Avengers: Infinity War, Thor managed to lethally wound the Mad Titan with the Stormbreaker despite taking on the full force of the Infinity Gauntlet.
2 Thanos Has Outsmarted Gods
While he's known for his powers, he's also one of the most intelligent, crafty beings in the universe. He's outsmarted gods, the Elders of the Universe, and cosmic beings. Batman is good but Thanos is out of his league. Thanos is smarter than Batman and, most importantly, a lot craftier.
Omega, a clone of Thanos that incorporates the power and genetics of Galactus, easily ranks among the most powerful Thanos variants in the multiverse and the most crucial cosmic beings in the Marvel Universe.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania director Peyton Reed hints at Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror as a bigger villain than Thanos.
Kulan Gath surpasses Thanos as the ultimate bad guy, as seen when he not just defeated the Avengers but killed most of Earth's heroes in a shocking and terrifying display of this Conan the Barbarian villain's power. To add insult to injury, Kulan Gath ate them afterward.
Instead of aliens, androids, and wizards, Thanos is afraid of aliens, Asgardians, and wizards. The theory posits Ego, Odin, and The Ancient One as three of Thanos' greatest fears, and he waited until all of them were dead to make his move.
Thanos is a powerful and skilled foe but Superman just outclasses in every way. Just to begin with, Thanos is way, way weaker than Superman. Sure, Superman can't throw planets without breaking a sweat like he used to, but he's still massively strong. Add to that his durability, his amazing speed, his flight, and more.
In terms of power levels, Thanos easily dwarfs the Joker and takes this round. Joker is no slouch, but Thanos is just on a much higher level.
Thor: The God of Thunder almost killed Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. He really would have taken down the Mad Titan there and then if not for his wish to see Thanos realise the error of his ways. As Thanos said, he should have gone for the head. We think if Thor got another chance, he would not miss.
Developing powers like his fellow Oans, Krona is more than powerful to defeat Thanos. Beyond his vast energy powers, Krona has mighty mental abilities that would allow him to defeat Thanos. The Mad Titan has defenses against mental attacks, but not at the level that Krona is capable of.
Additionally, Wanda demonstrated just how powerful she was in Infinity War, when she was able to repel Thanos while simultaneously destroying Vision's Mind Stone. So it stands to reason that Wanda would have been able to single-handedly whoop Thanos into oblivion, had he not called in cover fire from above.
The power of the Scarlet Witch against Thanos was on display in both Infinity War and Endgame. It was also acknowledged in WandaVision - she very nearly beat him. Now, having fully embraced her power as a witch and practitioner of chaos magic, it's clear - Wanda would destroy Thanos.
Thanos by all intents and purposes is one of Marvel's most powerful beings, a villain feared by many who has passed a threat to multiple heroes in the Marvel Universe. Few characters can stand against him, with only a few being so brave and some being very foolish.
In a straight-up brawl, Superman would likely win pretty handily. Thanos is certainly no slouch, having taken out two powerful marvel heroes with one slap, but Superman's strength outclasses almost everyone the Mad Titan has ever fought, and the kryptonian has too many tricks up his sleeve for Thanos to counter.
Thanos didn't lift Mjolnir, Captain America did
With Mjolnir's worthiness enchantment resulted in Thor being able to lift the hammer only if he is considered to be worthy, but likewise, the enchantment is not discriminatory in nature, and anyone who is deemed worthy is able to lift the hammer.
Captain Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers, is one of the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel universe, and her abilities could potentially give her an edge over Superman in a hypothetical battle. Captain Marvel possesses superhuman strength, speed, and endurance that could match or even surpass Superman's.
Based on the analysis of powers, speed, strength, durability, and combat, we can safely say that Odin is stronger than Thanos and outmatches him in almost every aspect. Thanos might be among the most feared villains in the Marvel Universe, but he comes nowhere near when compared to All-Father Odin.
So, there you have it. Thanos beats Hulk every time, with or without the Infinity Gauntlet. But World Breaker Hulk defeats Thanos. However, Thanos could beat the Hulk if he had the Gauntlet (He could wipe out the Universe).
Marvel's Eternals recently revealed the truth of Thanos' origin, and the dichotomy at the heart of his creation suggests a chilling reason why the Mad Titan is obsessed with Death, and has been since childhood.
Bigger than his enemies, bigger than his family, bigger than any other cosmic threat, Thanos's greatest weakness will always be himself. We've discussed his ego previously, but it's his insecurities about his own worthiness that will ever prove to be his downfall.
Upon learning that Annihilus wanted to destroy all life in both the positive and negative matter universes, Thanos tried to release Galactus. Most unfortunately, Drax showed up and ripped out Thanos's heart, killing him.
Spider-Man used the Infinity Gauntlet against Thanos and restored the universe after he snapped half of life from existence - but nobody remembers. One of Spider-Man's greatest victories is a fight his fellow heroes don't remember, as the web-slinger's defeat of Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet is only known by him.
Without question, the One Above All is the most powerful character in all of Marvel Comics. How do we know this? Well, the One Above All is literally God. The creator of every single being in existence, the One Above All is the ultimate force for good in all the multiverses.
The winner of this fight would be Thanos based on his superior brute strength, and raw powers. However, if Thor uses some clever strategies, he could defeat the villain, especially since he has access to more powerful weapons and techniques.
