MCU WHAT-IFS: Titan team vs Thanos' children

THE WHAT-IF SCENARIO:

In Endgame, after the alternative-timeline Thanos (let's call him Alt Thanos) captured Nebula and accessed all of her memories, his exceptional intellect told him something doesn't seem right, especially when Dr Strange saw that one winning chance out of 14 millions and chose to sacrficed himself for Ironman. Deciding to nip any potential risk at its bud, Alt-Thanos place his faith in his children, uses the reverse-engineered Pym Particles to send them into the main universe and arrived in Titan to take out the whole Titan team, before his surprisingly-merciful Main-Timeline self shows up.

.

THE BATTLE:

The titan team (including reformed Nebula) arriving at the desolated planet, planning to ambush the Main-timeline Thanos, only to be surprised by the sight of Thanos' children from alternative universe lined up waiting for them.

.

Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the children of...

Tony Stark (getting a serious case of deja vu): Wait a minute, Squidward! Didn't we killed you already?!

Ebony Maw: The universal scale tips toward balance, my alternative-self was too weak to do what is neccesary, so I am here to deliver your salvation.

Dr Strange: You will find our perservervance stronger than yours. Allow me to show you the true power of Master of the Mystic Arts!

Spiderman: Mr Stark, I am freaking out! This guy doesn't obey the laws of common sense at all.

Tony Stark: Don't worry kid. This is just another Shakespeare in the park. They have caught us off guard once, it will not happen again.

(Ironman, Dr Strange and Spiderman have gained experiences after their initial encounter with main-timeline Maw and Cull; and similarly Maw and Cull has learnt their original selves' fates thanks to Nebula memory hack)

.

.

THE CONDITIONS:

Standard knowledge for both sides. No time stone nor BFR for Dr Strange.

GOTG not holding-back against Alt-Gamora. The Titan team has no prep but fighting at their best.

Is the Titan Avengers doomed or will they previl against the Children of Thanos?

.

If you enjoy my what-if scenarios based on MCU arch, here are more like them:

Titan team stomps. Iron Man could solo depending on what tier Cull is at the moment

@kryptonianking88: Honestly I think that Maw could solo Tony, or at least keep him preoccupied for most of the fight.

OT: Strange solos.

Titans Team win with Dr Strange as MVP.

Titan team stomps

How so?

How can Ironman or strange solo when both already lost to cull and Maw individually? Team Thanos win

@kryptonianking88: I doubt IM can solo. He consistently has trouble with Cull and Maw can keep him busy. The others have weapons that can cut right into the suit. Maw can use those weapons to punch holes into IM, if IM takes out the users.

Team Thanos wins, imo.

Leaning towards Titan team. If Strange/Tony fight smart and maybe double team Maw, I think Spider-Man can keep Cull distracted long enough for the duo to take Maw out. Then they clean up.

How do you see the match pairing off and the outcome?

Cull Obsidian beats down on Iron Man and Spider-Man as he was about to do . Literally nothing Tony could throw at him put him down for good . He was tanking all of his repulsive attacks . At the very least , he could keep the both of them busy just as he did in The Battle of New York .

Maw handles Strange like before . Strange cannot BFR him like he did against Cull as Maw is extremely clever and if tried to use the Mirror Dimension , Maw will destroy it just as he did in the deleted scene .

Now , the players left from the Titan team are Mantis , Nebula , Drax , and Star Lord . Alternate Nebula and Gamora could be put down by Nebula and Drax , but the latter will all be heavily beat down . Gamers could actually put down Drax using Godslayer . Mantis and Star Lord could find a way to beat Proxima and Corvus , but they themselves are master assassins and could win , although it is unlikely , but there will be casualties , Mantis most probably as she needs to get close to them to put down and they would likely get to her as they themselves can infiltrate event he most secure locations and go unnoticed ( Shuri’s lab in Wakanda , sneaking up on Vision and Wanda without making a sound ) .

So , Star Lord , Drax ( possibly ) , and Nebula survive and they could take on Cull along with Tony and Peter and bring him down .

Maw will most likely put down everyone else besides Tony and Peter and Tony could kill him using a missile or repulsive blast .

In the end , the Titan team could win , but they will be heavily beaten up .

Strange and Tony beats them.

Strange is the biggest problem but most likely Maw will get the best of him again.

Cull takes out Iron Man and eventually they wittle the heroes down imo.

interesting analysis, thanks for the thoughtful breakdown :-)

When did Maw destroyed Strange's mirror dimension though? Mind show me the clip?

While Thanos' Children are well past the level of the heroes present in this battle, Strange is the outlier. I doubt even Ebony could stand up to him going all out with his powers like against Thanos.

Hey do Wakanda and Titan teams together against Thanos next What If?

;)

People are ridiculous seriously

Related to this thread:

Maw solos Strange on screen....People: “Strange Solos”

Cull dominates Iron Man on screen....People: “Iron Man Solos”

Unrelated but still true:

Thanos stomps Thor + 2 more team members on screen.....People: “Thor Solos”

Wanda Solos Thanos and is stated to have won....People: “Thanos wins”

OT: The Black Order win in a great fire

Black order. Ebony maw fodderized their strongest fighter in Strange & Cull fodderized Tony who got saved by Spider-Man.

@anthp2000: so what do you think will be the eventual outcome?

@limitless82: Strange should carry.

@finalkingthanos:

Maw's power-set is indeed deadly.. He's underrated here on CV.

If Strange and Tony fight like they fought on Titan against Thanos, Titan team wins. If they fight like they did on Earth against Maw and Cull, Black order wins.

Hehe cool, I am not sure if it will be a fun what-if match though, since it has already kinda happened on-screen already albiet seperately. Plus Thanos performance was vastly different between Titan and Wakanda, he only use the gems sparely on Titan yet abuse the heck out of it on Wakanda so it is a bit difficult for me to draw the line... But if you got a good idea on how to set this up as a fun fight, feel free to make a new thread and tag me! :-)

Children of Thanos win. Maw solos Strange again, Cull solos Iron Man, and the rest should be close to evenly matched.

If they manage to take out Maw early in the game, the Titan team should stomp. Otherwise, I don't see what they can do without just being TK'd to death.

Maw takes out Strange, Cull beats Iron Man. But on the other hand, Star-Lord's explosives can be an interesting factor here. Still going with Children taking small majority.

Tony solos.

He could clash and draw blood from a Thanos w/ Four Stones and his armor could eat a planatery blast from the Power Stone. He tanks everything they throw and him and nukes them or drops a large aircraft on top of them.

@worldsgreatest: when did Ironman carry nuke with him?

Nukes them with his firepower.

Team Titan.

Strange and Tony easily carry Team Titan to victory.

doctor strange beats maw

drax,tony,starlord beats cull

Spider-man solos the rest
