Current Events > Hela vs Thanos - who would win? [Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War spoilers]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Assuming Asgard is not destroyed, and Hela is able to draw power from it

Would a Thanos without the infinity gauntlet be able to hold his own, or would she kill him?
---

Probably thanos. Even without relics he was pretty stronk and intimidating
---

I'd say Hela given no stones and she has Mjolnir

I think Thor was that strong against full gauntlet Thanos because Stormbreaker is HIS weapon

And we know Mjolnir is Hela's

no, stormbreaker was specifically made to be a supreme weapon

it's capable of summoning the bifrost, which implies it's more powerful than the mjolnir, which was not able to summon the bifrost nor channel lightning at the power of stormbreaker

Hela solo because Hela strong
---

No stones? Probably Hela. Not only can she spam Asgardian-killing swords, but she can make giant ass swords and she doesn't appear to get hurt by anything.

Hela is hella strong

I apologize

Thanos has insane durability tho
It took everything Iron Man had to draw blood
Only Stormbreaker was powerful enough to just wreck him like any other mortal

There's no way those swords are stronger than the Stormbreaker or Mjolnir, right
---

Thanos is stronger

Thanks

How exactly did Hela die to the Fire Lord guy?

I don't think it's a coincidence that Thanos waited to move until after Odin died
that being said, he'd probably just blow Asgard up with the power stone (assuming this is a timeline where Hela succeeds in Thor 3)

if it's just a 1v1 between the two at base levels, idk. I could see an argument either way, she was casually beating everyone without issue at all times

Prophecy etc

Likely Surtur gained enough of a power boost from the Eternal Flame to A) ruin Hela's corporeal being and B) destroy her source of power, Asgard
---

Yeah, supercharging the omnicidal flame giant with the Eternal Flame, whose idea was that?

this intrigues me a lot

i wish we could see some more of the non-earth involved interplanetary/domain conflicts

Definitely stronger than Mjolnir. She crushed Mjolnir like a toy.

And the fact that Iron Man drew blood at all bodes well for Hela. Also the fact that Gamora and Loki seem to think their bladed weapons can cut/kill Thanos.

Hela has that but stronger, bigger, faster, and more numerous.

Hmm now that I think about it
In Ragnarok, the implication seems to be that Hela could destroy the realms with just her power from Asgard

whereas Thanos needs the Infinity Stones to accomplish what he wants

guess that puts them on different levels actually

Thanks - do you mind refreshing my memory on how each of them were gaining power? For Hela was it just being on Asgard?

Thanos would get on his knees for an ambassador of death itself.

Yup. Proximity to Asgard and the treasures it plundered from the nine realms was making her stronger the longer she stayed there. They realized they couldn't defeat her so long as she had the hometeam advantage.

I'd rather watch them bang

No, I'd much rather watch Hela turn Thanos into a pincushion, while monologuing about the history of Asgard's intergalactic hegemony.

She's all like: "You left fifty percent of people alive? And you consider yourself a conqueror? What kind of bleeding heart millennial consolation bullshit is this? In my day we finished the job."

And then she'd finish the job.

Thor's.

I just wanted Odin to beat up Thanos
