Team Thanos vs Team Magus

Thanos and Magus are at war. The two assemble a powerful team of villains who join the two for their own purpose or gain. The reason for the war is Magus for unknown reasons wants to destroy Death, and Thanos finds out that he has a plan that will actually work. Thanos speculates Magus wants Death to be destroyed so that he'll be completely immortal.

Thanos(and others) try to stop Magus not only for his love for Death, but for there to be balance in the universe.

The Void, Dark Phoenix, Trion Juggernaut, Legion and Mangog

Round 1- No prep

Round 2- 1 month of prep

Team 2 stomps round 1. Although, admittedly, I don't know what current Legion's condition is.
Team 1 wins round 2. Thanos with a month of prep is no joke.

@dondave@killemall@hellionvulcan@cheesesticks@mad_titan@darrellacoustic@noone301994@sirfizwhiz@claymore1998@realitywarper@pooty@mazeraiii@thedemon_

does Gorr have the Necro sword?

Round 1: Depends on a lot of factors, I can see this being an 50/50 for each team with maybe a slightly edge to team 2.

Round 2: Team Thanos, the Mad Titan with prep is no joke, even Galactus would be scared.

Yes.

Is Thanman riding Death in that picture?

I don't now how people are coming to there judgements, but IMO, it's too hard with too many variables; both Teams are extremely powerful though...

team magus

Why? Just curious.

@king_stranglehold_da_first: while both sides have powerful dudes

mephisto is only most powerful in his realm, cul feeds off the fear of others but I doubt that'll come to pass

on the other hand you have the invulnerable trion juggy, universal powerhouse legion and a being that feeds off negative emotion. the power balance just tips in favor of team 2

....this is a good one

R1- Team Magus

R2- Team Thanos

Team Magus.

Too much hax.

team thanos

I'd say team 2 win round 1 without much trouble.

I'd say the opposite for round 2, short of Doom and Reed there's not really anyone on the same level of prep as Thanos.

Team 2 as i can't see Thanos or his team defeating Trion who is far above skyfather level.

Undecided on round one

Team 1 on round 2

Round 1-Team 2 Way too much power especially with Legion.

Round 2-Team 1 Thanos w/ prep

R2 goes to Team Thanos, he'll probably solo with prep.

r1 idk, probs magus

r2 thanos

Bump...

this is a good match i think a full powered onslaught can take out dark phoenix or trion juggernaut

cul is atleast skyfather level and he can take out void or legion

Team Magus curbs Round One. Unsure about Round Two.

Team 2

Going with Team 1

Team 1.

Also Mistress Death in the OP pic looks awesome

Team 1 has too much fodder for me to reliably give the win to them. They lack hax resistance and guys like Phoenix, Magus and Legion are full of that

@professorrespect: lol what? Thanos, Onslaught, and Mephisto all have hax and Thanos is resistant to it. If anything team 2 has too much fodder unresistant to hax like Trion Juggernaut and Mangog.

@sirdragonfly: Onslaught has TP that's inferior to team 2

Thanos....just has nothing in general in terms of hax that's important or particularly noteworthy

Mephisto outside of his realm is incredibly weak and can't do much of anything here

@professorrespect:

How is Onslaught TP inferior? If anything it is superior.

Thanos transmutes fodder into a dragonfly or TP's them.

Mephisto isn't that weak outside of his realm, though he is probably the second weakest here after Magus. But his illusion casting and time manipulation + other hax is very useful.

@sirdragonfly: Onslaught wouldn't have given Jean her Phoenix back, because that Jean wasn't Phoenix, it was actually Jean in that case. There's no proof for that being the case.

The jest of your transmutation argument is pretty simple: he used it, therefore he can use it again. Consistency says otherwise, naturally, and the lack of adjustments in the OP and fight history make that rather impossible to see in reality.

Hulknihilus was sub-Thanos. Being scared of a sub-Thanos being is kinda really bad, especially for Mephisto's high ends when he's actually in his realm.

@professorrespect:

Onslaught clearly says that he could give Jean her Phoenix powers back. Phoenix-less Jean manifesting a Phoenix raptor has nothing to do with this.

Consistency doesn't say anything otherwise. When has Thanos tried to use transmutation but failed because he didn't have it? Exactly, never. "Impossible to see" in your reality, maybe, but in the comics themselves, it's not.

By your logic, if any 2 equally strong characters fight and one wins, that makes the other one sub-winner level. Hulknihilus wasn't sub-Thanos. In fact, he might have been even more powerful. The only reason why Thanos won was because of greater experience and skill.

@sirdragonfly: Onslaught doesn't have the feats to contend with the Phoenix. Not a host of the Phoenix, THE Phoenix itself is a lot more to handle than what would be otherwise. He's mostly scaling from 90's Xavier and some good feats here and there, but he's definitely not doing that.

Thanos' chances of using transmutation are very, very low. He doesn't use it when he's in a pickle ever so I can't see it being used here. You can say "it's possible" but that can be true of any nonsense power that hasn't shown up in decades.

Hulknihilus losing to Thanos in a straight up fight (not even tech or prep related, Thanos just beats him physically in a struggle) tells me that he's pretty much sub-Thanos in power directly. Thanos does say that he matches his own, but him then losing right after (like literally right after) tells me that this isn't really the case.
