Can Thanos defeat Dr. Manhattan if he had 2 days of prep time ?
Dr. Manhattan vs Thanos
all i can say is he always has prep time. he's experiencing all points in time at once or something like that. but that doesnt help me in knowing who would win... manhattan didnt do enough for me to be able to decide.
i have no idea cause manhattan never really did anything in the watchmen. so i have no idea whether he could take on thanos.

With prep? are you kidding, thanos can take down anyone with prep! if it's just a battle with no prep, he generally does well, but with prep, manhatten becomes his own little herald just like the fallen one!

"Dang. I almost have as many posts as you lordraiden. LOL"
Tell me about it! slow down there, your making me look bad lol
Golem says:
"Manhattan in a CURBSTOMP. His power is unlimited, he could think Thanos away."
With 2 days prep, are you seriouse? thanos has taken down higher beings than manhatten with prep! without prep, then yeah, I could believe that, but thanos walking into a battle with prep, forget about the other guy, wouldn't wanna be in there shoes!

True that
Golem says:
"Any amount of prep is ineffective, unless he has a weapon that can instantly kill Manhatten faster than the speed of thought. Curbstomp."
The Infinity Gauntlet or the Heart of the Universe should be able to take Manhattan out. Thats if Thanos had it

The thread I bumped, you thought Dr M could beat the Phoenix Force, I also saw a thread of him against" what makes Doctor Manhattan overrated ? "
COIE Anti-Monitor or Parallax and even against Beyonder for crying out loud
*facepalm*
He is totally over rated thanks to these kinds of threads some of which were created by you King
I don't even put him at Firestorm's level

"dr.m is pretty smart himself "
Nothing overall too impressive. The guy takes down the Silver Surfer, Thor, ext goes toe to toe with Tyrant, hell even having the testicular fortitude to take on the World Devourer, the Big G.
Manhattan's only real hope I imagine would be battlefield removal, he won't be blowing up Thanos, or anything like that. If he can beat the Silver Surfer with ease, he can take down Silver Surfer-lite.
Thats not even considering the two days of prep, which makes it a free win.

Awsome :D
" dr.m is pretty smart himself "He's smart with knowledge, but he's not very calculable with real-time battle strategy and cunningness. He even lacks the emotion of ambition, which fuels Thanos winning streak throughout Marvel's history. So if you add it all up, Thanos wins only if he doesn't want to.
"YesCan Thanos defeat Dr. Manhattan...

.
umm... thanos used his testicular fortitude to not only try to take on G but also seduce and attempted rape him
"at the same time though... Doc Manhattan hasnt really had the opportunity to fight higher competition to really say he has a limit to his power...
Thanos, easily would manipulate and end up owing Dr M! Dr M hasn't even proven himself to be above SS, who gets the low down on his sorry #@$ every time he goes up against the mad titan. "

And he never will :D
Right now all we have on Manhattan is him blowing up normal people, and pulling off feats the surfer does with his eyes closed, nothing overall too impressive for characters in the MU.
Him fearing he cannot stop a few nukes from the USSR, or heal the cancer of his former significant other right off the bat doesn't help his case.
He hasn't been able to prove himself in Norrin's league, who gets trashed by Thanos consistantly.

I am sure he has the power to stop quite a few of them after they are launched, but him actually fearing he can't do something the surfer could do from orbit with the PC, or simply individually destroy them before they are even launched doesn't help his case.
We haven't seen Manhattan's full potential, but from what we have seen he doesn't win this fight. Namely why I gave him the name Silver Surfer-lite, hasn't even proved himself in Norrin's league, and never will have the opportunity to do so. All we have to measure him by is a bunch of humans who consider him godly, and what he did in watchman, thats not close to enough to have me say he can put down Thanos, let alone a Thanos with 2 days of prep.
Hmm Dr.M is not that overrated he just doesnt have the feats.. to put him up to scale with the heavy hitters like galactus... I kinda wish that there was a Dr.M comic series telling of his travels to different univers and Galaxy's.
But dont forget... getting disintergrated then putting yourself back togather piece by peice, all while learning how the universe ticks and how every thing in this world fits togather
that is a pretty good feat

but this doesnt answer the original question... you are still putting a cap on Manhattan's power based on that fact he hasnt been able to test his power against higher competition... which isnt totally fair since there wasnt anyone for him to fight of the SS level during the arc...

i agree
doesn't matter. we go by on-panel or on-screen feats. Manhattan, himself, states his own limitations. of the limitations he says he is incapable of doing, Surfer can quite easily. going by this alone, we can presume Manhattan is less powerful than Surfer, in which case, he loses badly to Thanos, with or without prep." @Hellos said:
