Standard incarnation of Larfleeze. The Orange Lanterns only come in construct form, not as their own characters (pretty obvious).
Standard incarnation as well. Standard gear, but doesn't include IG, HoTU etc. (again fairly obvious).
"In the beginning there was Larfeeze. And Larfleeze looked out upon himself and saw that he was good."
--Larfleeze
Being the sole member of a his Corpse Larfleeze not only has the power of a standard Power Ring wielder, but his power is the accumulative percent/ power of an entire core in one being. His powers include:
Larfleeze has quite the array of powers at his disposal, but what's truly frightening is the degree of which he uses said powers. The incredible vastness of the power he wields makes him unimaginably powerful.
The Orange Lanterns are the member's of the Orange Lantern Corpse who have been enslaved in the Orange Battery by Larfleezes soul rip. His minions aid Larfleeze in "recruiting" new members via soul rip and are quite powerful in their own right as well. They each are faster than the speed of light, incredibly strong, can project high levels of energy, etc. etc. They are also sentient and can operate completely on their own while still being controlled by Larfleeze.
These are the majority of the key aspects I wanted to cover. That said, i'm passing things over to you bro @emperorthanos BTW: I may edit this as I re-read it over for grammatical errors but the bulk of the info. will remain the same ;)
Alright, now that openers are out of the way let's get to discussing the battle in and of itself.
So now that that's out of the way I think it's time to break things down.
In a pure slug-fest I will concede that Thanos will win a great majority of the time. This scenario would never happen in this battle tho, seeing as Larfleeze isn't stupid enough to stand still and trade blows. The vast array of powers Larfleeze has would certainly be of use in this battle. I'm fully confident in Larfleeze's ability to win a physical confrontation with Thanos via the use of his other abilities.
First key point here is Constructs. Like most Power Ring users Larfleeze's first instinct in combat is to attack with his constructs. Using his incredible speed + using a giant mass as a weapon would create an incredibly effective striking method (Since force = mass x acceleration). But enough with this physics, here are some combat implications of this logic.
I think a construct of this caliber (knocking back numerous GL's with each strike) moving with faster than light momentum will do damage to even the strongest of adversaries.
The second and most prominent point in terms of physical combat is the incorporation of the Orange Lanterns. Larfleeze alone will be dealing damage with his incredibly potent contructs, but then add in the physical might of hundreds of allies and Thanos will be quickly overwhelmed. The most obvious strategy of "dog-pile" should work like a charm. All of these Lantern's, each powerful in their own right, would trample Thanos.
The fact that there are hundreds of Orange Lantern's should make the overwhelming phase simple enough, but let's look at the strength of these character's as individual, sentient, constructs.
If three Orange Lanterns can easily restrain a class 100 strength character, dozens upon hundreds should be capable of steam-rolling Thanos. And then you factor in the speed advantage the Orange Lanterns have as well, and it becomes overkill.
Your claim that Thanos has more ways to harm Larfleeze than vice versa is an outlandish one for sure, especially since outside of physical combat, you only mentioned telepathy as an alternate win condition. Despite me stating a Lanterns ability to negate telepathy, you use this argument, so i'll show you Larfleeze's telepathic resistance instead of merely stating it.
Being the living incarnation of the Orange Light Larfleeze has telepathic constructs protecting his mind from mental assaults. These constructs devour the minds and souls of those who try such efforts. Thus if Thanos tries a telepathic attack it will be he who is defeated as a result. So please, I encourage Thanos to attempt a telepathic assault on Larfleeze.
Aside from taking Thanos out in a straight-up confrontation, Larfleeze has his own "auto-win" or ace in the hole, and one that will actually work, unlike telepathic attacks on Thanos' end.
The concept here is simple, Thanos lacks a defense against Larfleeze turning him into an Orange Lantern (and thus a mindless slave to him) by manipulating his soul without the help of Death. The same ability he used to transform all the members of his core into Orange Lanterns. No amount of physical might or strength feats can over come this, and thus Thanos has no way of winning if Larfleeze goes this route. And Larfleeze is obviously fully open to this option, just look at all the Orange Lanterns there are.
Why Larfleeze wins:
Why Thanos can't win:
All in all, Thanos is an incredibly powerful teambuster, but he lacks the ability to take on a being with the collective abilities of an entire Corpse.
@emperorthanos hey like the last post Ill be editing, but since you said your busy tomorrow hopefully that's not a problem. edits should be done by saturday.
Just a precursor here, it seems you misinterpreted one of my statements.
In a pure slug-fest I will concede that Thanos will win a great majority of the time.
This point was not conceding that Thanos would win a physical contest. I was merely stating that if Larfleeze stood still like the Hulk, or any other brute and trade blows. His speed backing up his physicality would be Thanos's undoing. Despite my efforts to make this clear you didn't address speed in your post... at all. Either way i'll debunk the physical aspects you did bring up.
/Why Larfleeze Can Hurt You/
I'll take even more in depth about Larfleeze's ability to deal the physical damage if you give physical based durability feats, but until then, what i've provided is more than enough here.
/Why You Can't Hurt Larfleeze/
Summing up: Your assessment of this battle of a physical level is highly flawed for multiple reasons.
Before I even go into anything here, the scans you showed are VERY much out of context...
/Negating Feats/
Summing up: If you look at the context of the entire scenario, the feats disprove your claims.
Beyond the fact that this scan is entirely out of context, it is a complete outlier, i've never seen another instance of Thanos using offense telepathy to any high degree, only strong defenses.
/Why It's Completely Viable/
Summing up: Soul Rip is still a completely viable, and likely win condition for Larfleeze, quick and simple.
This is any Lanterns forte, so let's see what Thanos is packing.
/Absorption/
Summing up:
/Your's Debunked/
/Proper Summary/
How this inevitably playsout:
The fight opens, before Thanos can do anything, the Orange Lantern's are on the scene. NOTE: Even if Thanos get's off a ranged attack Larfleeze can evade, or absorb as stated before. The Orange Lanterns, led by Agent Orange will bull-rush Thanos. Orange Lanterns would drop left and right, but eventually Thanos would get overwhelmed, pinned down by masses and a giant Orange Construct of Larfleeze. And if he isn't KO'd from this, Soul Rip is the finishing blow.
Alright! That'll do it, man this was fun to make, and sorry it's so late. Just a lot of craziness on the vine and in RL. Plus the thread having disappeared. Back over to you my man! @emperorthanos (BTW i might edit for grammatical purposes, but all the info, should remain the same).
There is no way Larfleeze can avoid tp at this scale, Thanos will be able to take him out before Larfleeze gets the chance to do anything.
