Thanos

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstory: Millions of years ago, humanity evolved from apes and the celestials came to Earth and decided to experimented on the human race and made 3 variants. There are the Eternals who are powerful and beautiful with immortality, people with latent mutant genes which will become the X-Men, and the monstrous deviants who are pretty much even worse than the website with all the porn. The Eternals then colonize the moons of Saturn thanks to Mentor. While the Eternals were a perfect people, the son of Mentor would change their fate forever. The son was named Thanos who was born from Eternal blood with a deviant mutation. He had a lovely childhood and a bright future that is until he fell in love with Death herself. He soon became the Mad Titan, Thanos.

-Tanked Odin's Power

-Broke the Cosmi-Rod

-Tanked 3 shouts from Black Bolt

Feats(Speed):

-Scales above Thor, Silver Surfer, and Hulk

Stats(Strength and Durability):

-Scaling to Thor and Silver Surfer

>Thor as his strongest scales evenly with Hercules who have been stated to be able to beat World War Hulk. And for example while someone can lift up a box of apples but decides not to, it's basically like while Captain America can lift Thor's Hammer in the movies, he just decided not to lift it. That being said, Childlike Hulk is strong enough to hold his own against a full powered Thor when he had the Odinforce backing him up. And if Thanos can beat up two Thors as once, he can do the same to both Thor and Hercules

>As for Silver Surfer, he can bust galaxies no problem, same goes for Hercules and Thor

>All of this is High Hyperverse Level

-Power of the Infinity Stones and the Heart of the Universe

>There are tons of evidence that allows Thanos to scale above Abstracts like Death or gods like Eternity with the Infinity Stones which is Low Outerverse Level

>But with the Heart of the Universe, he scales above the Living Tribunal which is Outerverse to High Outerverse Level

Final Verdict: Outerverse to High Outerverse Level

Stats(Speed):

-Scaling to Thor, Silver Surfer, and Hulk

>Thor scales to Ares who can react in Planck time, Infinite speed with scaling to Hulk via scaling to Hercules which is MFTL+ to infinite speeds

-Infinity Gauntlet and Heart of the universe scaling

>As for the scaling from the Infinity Gauntlet, it would be immeasurable to omnipresent scaling from Eternity of course

>As for the Heart of the universe, it would be omnipresent scaling above the Living Tribunal

Weaknesses:

0Even in battle, Thanos has had his Infinity Gauntlet stolen by his enemies. To use the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos must have the stones embedded in the Gauntlet. Preventing him from doing so will make him far easier to defeat.

-The Infinity Stones individually have weaknesses.

>Infinity Stones can be destroyed by certain magical ways (assuming Thanos doesn't reverse the damage with the Time Stone).

>It is possible to make magic or technology that can contain the power of the Infinity Stones

>The Time Stone cannot kill enemies who possess eternal life.

*Aging Thor actually gives him more experience and thus more power.

-The magic from the Infinity Stones can be redirected to hit Thanos

-The Infinity Gauntlet cannot work outside of the dimension it originates from.

>Darkseid attempted to use the IG, but couldn't due to this.

-Massive ego makes him surprisingly easy to trick

-It is always rejected by the Mistress Death

-To use the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos must use his hand. Preventing him from doing so will make him far easier to defeat.

-Has a helicopter, for some reason...

Darkseid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backstory: 10 billion years ago, the primeval gods clashed in a civil war call Ragnorok and not the Thor movie featuring Jeff Goldblum but rather a battle so great the result was an explosion that separated the planets in half and make new planets called New Genesis and Apokolips and made a new generation of gods called the New Gods. Among the people of Apokolips was Prince Uxas behind hisolder brother Drax and I'm not talking about the guy from the MCU movies but rather the guy from the DC comics(Sadly). In order to rule Apokolips, Drax is supposed to enter the mysterious Omega Pit and absorb the Omega Effect, a force of destructive Entropy within Apokolips. Then Uxas came up with a plan to kill his brother and stole the power for himself and the Omega Effect transform Uxas into the physical manifestation of tyranny known as Darkseid.

Background:

-Height: 8'9" | 211 cm

-Weight: 1,815 lbs | 823 kg

-Omega Effect

>Cosmic awareness

>Telpathy

>Telekinesis

>Telportation

>Matter manipulation

>Chronokinesis

>Energy manipulation

>Size alteration

-Omega Beams

>Vaporization

>Resurrection

>Power disabling

>Multi-target tracking

>Omega Sanction

-Anti-Life Equation

>"loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding × guilt × shame × failure × judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side."

>The equation can turn anyone into a mindless slave devoid of free will and personal identity

Feats(Strength and Durability):

-Busted a planet while fighting Highfather

-Survived a bomb designed to "rip apart existence"

-Crushed a Green Lantern Ring

-Destroyed a planet with Omega Beams

-Beaten both Pre- & Post-Crisis Superman

-Turned Cyborg Superman into a ball and incinerated him

-His Godhead form scales above his lessor forms

-Defeated the Time Trapper, who is also SuperBoy Prime

Feats(Speed):

-Flew to the Source Wall in seconds

-Blitzed Post Crisis Superman

-Scales above most of the Justice League

-Scales to Wonder Woman and The Flash

Stats(Strength and Durability):

-Scaling to Green Lantern Rings

>41 lanterns made a shield for Mogo, which is 82 ninatons which is Dwarf Star Level, a single Lantern can do 2 ninatons which is Large Planet Level. I know that Darkseid crushed one Green Lantern ring, but he can beat up the Time Trapper who is also Superboy Prime and he took down both the Green and Yellow Lantern Corps, let's assume that Superboy Prime can dish out his strength against other lantern corps

>2 x 7200 x 3600 x 200 x 200 x 200 x 10 = 4,147,200,000,000,000 ninatons or 173 Megafoe Which is Solar System Level

>Heck guys like Driq can restrain and evil galaxy which is 57.2 Zettafoe which is Galaxy Level

>57.2 x 7200 x 3600 x 200 x 200 x 200 x 10 = 119 Tenamegafoe which is multi-Galaxy level

-Scaling to Superman and Super Boy Prime

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

>According to Death Battle, the average size of a DC universe is 56.77 Nonillion light years across, since the DC timeline ends at 22 billions years after the present it should be bigger than our universe by 1,619,999,999,999,999,995,078,534,587,381,744,141,628,547,268,114,461,683,064,242,176x

>And that's just one of those universes, Darkseid should scale to guys like The Flash Family who are relative to each other like how Wally and Barry did a race where they nearly tore apart the entire multiverse and Reverse Flash can vibrate his body that can counter the destruction of the universe

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

>And Superboy Prime scales above them which is Multiverse level and Superman at his most powerful is Hyperverse Level via scaling to the World Forger

>This is consistent with his Godhead body which is also Hyperverse Level

Final Verdict: Hypervsere Level

Stats(Speed):

-Going to the Source Wall

>It took 5 seconds to get to the Source Wall and going by the math from Death Battle that would put him at MFTL+ speeds

-Scaling to Superman

>Superman is at the speed of immeasurable and Darkseid often scales to him

-Godhead speed

>With the Anti-Life Equation he should be at multiple locations or omnipresent

Final Verdict: Omnipresent

Weaknesses:

-Darkseid is vulnerable to Radion (a lethal substance to New Gods, conceptually similar to Kryptonite for Kryptonians).

-Since Darkseid is the embodiment of hatred, he is weakened by positive emotions; including love.

-Omega Beams can be stopped if it hits a different target during its initial pursuit. For example Batman and Flash using Parademons as human shields.

-Omega Beams have been proven ineffective against the likes of Wonder Woman's bracelets; due to the metal being imbued with godly magic.

-Omega Beams were unable to harm Doomsday and Mxyzptlk.

>Omega Beams were unable to harm Galactus (crossover canon)

-The Speedforce (and speedsters like The Flash) can negate the Anti-Life Equation.

-Can be pushed into his own Boom Tubes; temporarily banishing him.

-He is often overconfident and does not use his powers to their fullest extent.

-Darkseid's Avatar can still be harmed and defeated by characters of similarly absurd power; Kryptonians, some New Gods (most noticeably Highfather and Orion), and other cosmic characters.

-Was once a McDonald's employee.

-Got mugged by humans

Battle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In an unlocked vault underground, Deadpool appears to be talking to someone sitting on Thanos' throne.

Deadpool: "It can fly, it can teleport, it'll send you through time and space and it's perfect for gaming. You follow me? Sure you do, you're a forward-thinking guy-"

Suddenly, a dark portal appears in front of the two, with Thanos emerging from it.

Thanos: "At last... there it is."

Thanos adjusts the Infinity Gauntlet on his arm as he faces the Merc with a Mouth and the entity he was speaking with, Darkseid. Deadpool starts nervously making his way towards the Titan.

Deadpool: "H-hey Thanos! B-buddy, how are ya doing? Rockin' that chin as always!"

Thanos simply swipes his hand and turns Deadpool into confetti. Darkseid takes notice of this with small amusement, but is undeterred otherwise.

Thanos: "Get off my throne and kneel. Face death at the hand of your new emperor."

Darkseid: "You know not the infinite wealth of destruction I command."

Darkseid smiles as he stands up and places his arms behind his back. The Titan charges towards the New God. Thanos tries punching with the Infinity Gauntlet, but Darkseid headbutts the arm and knees his opponent back in the face. As Thanos recovers, Darkseid leaps upward and tries dive-kicking downwards, but Thanos grabs both of his legs and uses the Power Stone to toss him into the street, where he crashes into a car while still maintaining his stance. Thanos teleports right in front of his foe's location.

Darkseid: "You dare strike me? Beg for the sweet release of death!"

Thanos lifts the gauntlet and twists his arm to the side.

Thanos: "You first."

Thanos warps reality to turn the world on its side, sending Darkseid falling through a building and landing on the side of a skyscraper. Thanos warps over to Darkseid and punches him in the face a few times before tossing him towards the top of the building. Darkseid leaps off the windows and turns around just in time to nearly get hit by a taxi. He stops it with his telekinesis and tosses it at Thanos, who uses the gauntlet to endure most of the beating until getting rammed in the chest with a cab. Darkseid notices Thanos' helicopter on a roof and sends it over to its owner, resulting in a massive explosion that tears the building apart. Darkseid floats there menacingly as the explosions and crumbling building do nothing to him. Thanos leaps upward and uses the gauntlet to redirect the exploding city's damage. Darkseid tries shooting his Omega Beams, but Thanos manages to punch the New God with his gauntlet before the beams can hit him. Darkseid is sent flying into space and crashes into a satellite. Thanos teleports behind him and prepares to strike again, but the Apokolips ruler fires his Omega Beams to better effect this time. Thanos uses the gauntlet to shield himself from the blast, but the Omega Beams push him planets away from his opponent. The Mad Titan ends up near Jupiter and activates the Infinity Gauntlet to hurl the entire planet at the Lord of Apokolips. The villain struggles to hold endure the blow as he is sent crashing through several planets before ending up in the middle of the sun.

Thanos: "I am Thanos. Thanos is supreme. Thanos is god."

Thanos uses the Infinity Gauntlet to create a black hole in the middle of the sun to swallow his opponent and the following planets. However, Darkseid drastically increases his size and grips onto the edge of the black hole and a nearby planet. He grows so large that he simply crushes the black hole in the palm of his hand. An enraged Thanos uses the gauntlet and tosses the entire solar system forward as he charges and increases his size as well. He tosses the New God back to get pelted by the tossed planets before Darkseid manages to hit him back. Thanos lands another punch, but Darkseid manages to grab another planet in the rebound and crushes it into the Titan's chest. The two godly beings then unleash their most powerful punches, which manage to send shockwaves throughout the entire universe. Both of them reduce back to their previous sizes and end up lying down on a drifting asteroid. Thanos slowly stands up and starts walking forward.

Thanos: "These games bore me. But this will bring a smile to my face."

Thanos grins as he snaps his fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet, reducing Darkseid to dust. However, another one of Darkseid's avatars appears directly behind the Titan.

Darkseid: "It'll have to wait."

Thanos snaps that one out of existence before trying to eliminate multiple subsequent copies. He quickly grows frustrated with the New God's toying.

Thanos: "COOOWAAAAARD! Who are you?! WHO ARE YOU?!!!"

Darkseid: "I'll show you."

Behind Darkseid's final avatar lies a portal. Thanos walks through it and ends up in Fourth World, where he meets the true form of Darkseid: a giant energy field that vaguely resembles his head.

Darkseid: "This is who I am!"

Thanos scoffs as he snaps with the Infinity Gauntlet again. However, True Darkseid remains in place. Thanos tries snapping multiple times but to no avail.

Darkseid: "Your reality is far from my own. You have no power here."

Despite wielding a useless Infinity Gauntlet, the Titan refuses to back down.

Thanos: "I... am Thanos. I am all things! THIS IS WHO I AM!"

Thanos charges his natural Eternal abilities and fires a powerful beam from his head with a loud scream, but the beam passes through Darkseid's immortal intangible essence with no effect.

Darkseid: "Pitiful."

Darkseid fires one final Omega Beam that goes through the projectile and seemingly hits the Titan in the face. Then out of nowhere, the beams were knocked back at the Godhead form of Darkseid and Thanos was using the Heart of the Universe to match the power of Darkseid's true form and when Thanos grew too large for Darkseid's true form he grabbed Darkseid and hold him up to his face.

Thanos: "Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here, or should I say..."*crushes Darkseid's true form until he shatters to pieces*"I am."
