is out there, somewhere. In other words, DC has Mongul as their version of Marvel's Thanos, who's a take on DC's Darkseid, who was originally conceived as a Marvel character anyway. And yet, they did all that, and Darkseid and Thanos never actually threw down in a fight. RELATED: Thanos Vs Darkseid: Who Is Really Stronger? Discuss Darkseid vs Galactus: The Hunger Vol 1 1 on the forums; Recommended Reading. Instead of getting that morally instructive ending, he was popular enough to stick around for the next five decades, with the kind of power to match his status in the DC Universe. Darkseid could take some wins mid to high difficulty. Galactus loses during the week but at the big PPV he would win only because faces normally win. While it's not really supported in the comics, one thing I've always really liked is something that I read once about how Kirby originally planned to end the Fourth World saga. (Edited in this part) The match itself would be a no holds barred slobber-knocker. With all of this at Darkseid's command, most foes never even get to face him. Rather than Darkseid, the original inspiration for Thanos was Metron, a New God whose primary goal wasn't the battle of good against evil that concerned the others, but the acquisition of knowledge. But it would be like he took the hit on a "villain win" where they lean on the rope or sneak in brass knuckles and the ref doesn't notice. Creators, on the other hand, always seem to have other plans for who to match Darkseid up against. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the whowouldwin community. The thing is, though, when it comes to a battle between Darkseid and Thanos, you have to dig a little deeper than just figuring out who can punch hardest and whether the Omega Sanction is more powerful than the Infinity Gauntlet. 5 years ago. I had always thought of him as a cosmic powerhouse with a Dr. Doom complex. A pretty great hook in its own right, but an interesting shot across the bow that marked a six-year separation of Kirby from the Marvel Universe if you know the story behind it. As Kirby had shown time and time again in those stories, though, Good and Evil weren't evenly matched forces. That is, by any standard, a bad dude. SteveA8. Since he would be much heavier even at an equal size. Who would win in a Darkseid vs Thanos fight? Darkseid could also have Glorious Godfrey as his hypeman/personal announcer as he enters the ring. 1 0. Which one would be the face, and which one would be the heel? Galactus stomps. Like Batman vs. Superman, comic book fans love to pit certain characters against each other to see who might come out victorious in a fight.One such pair is that of Trigon and Darkseid, two DC supervillains that possess similarly terrifying powers. The debate of Darkseid vs. Thanos has become so heated that it started to trend on Twitter. Darkseid vs. Thanos seems like the kind of no-brainer matchup that would've happened by now, but we've never really gotten a real answer to this one in the comics themselves, largely because Darkseid ends up fighting against other cosmic threats instead. For some reason, this has been a big thing online lately, and the answer is…. He has powerful lieutenants, renowned combatants like the Female Furies and Kanto, the twisted torturer Desaad, and his monstrous son Kalibak. He had, after all, been with Marvel since the beginning — both beginnings, in fact, considering that he and Joe Simon kicked off Captain America in 1940 for the company that was then known as Timely, and then he returned to launch the Marvel Age of Comics in 1961 with a writer you might've heard of called Stan Lee. I could see Darkseid getting the crowd in a "Die for Darkseid" cheer. If nothing else, DC vs. Marvel and the Amalgam books felt like the first time Darkseid and Thanos were treated as equals. Lorelei. No special notes. Even matched up against Darkseid at his strongest, and even if Thanos had to wade through an entire army of Darkseid's parademons (which, to be honest, is something even Aquaman rarely has trouble with), it's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have the advantage in a straight up physical confrontation. The way that they've influenced each other over the years has meant that when you think about the way they interact, there's a reflection and a response there that goes well beyond the usual bullet points that you get with other "who could win in a fight" arguments. Notes. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Each week, comic book writer Chris Sims answers the burning questions you have about the world of comics and pop culture: what's up with that? For example, Granny Goodness comes in and starts harassing the ref whilst Desaad slides a chair to Darkseid's feet. Who wins? I just know someone from Apokolips is going to charge in to distract the ref so Darkseid can utilize some underhanded tactic. The thing is, while he was drawing on classic myths and Freudian psychology — casting his new characters as a pair of space-born brothers named after Eros and Thanatos — he was also pretty heavily inspired by what Kirby had been doing at DC with the Fourth World saga. He's always been capable of incredible, unstoppable acts of violence. That's an easy one, baby! Both Darkseid believe the loser will die. As I understand it — and I admit that I might have this wrong — the original plan was to reveal that in the final confrontation, with Darkseid, despite all his grandeur and bravado about being the Tiger-Force at the center of all things, being shown to be ultimately weak and cowardly. In that aspect, Darkseid would probably be able to devise a tactical approach for defeating Galactus, especially since Galactus loses a lot of energy when not eating.
