At the height of his power, the cosmic tyrant unleashed his divine might and kicked at Josen's head, only to strike an afterimage!
His enormous body was still agile, and he had an extraordinary wealth of combat experience. When his first strike missed, he swept his Tyrant's Cleaver viciously across, trying to catch his enemy with an area attack.
Thanos had been born at the very top of the cosmic food chain.
His formidable body, strength, and defenses had always allowed him to face the universe's powerful beings with composure, naturally placing him in an unbeatable position.
But how could Josen be an ordinary cosmic powerhouse? He easily dodged the sweeping blade combinations, then reappeared right in Thanos's face and swung his arm all the way around for a backhand slap!
Normal Series-
"Normal Slap"!
Smack!!
Struck in the jaw, Thanos stared in astonishment as his body, weighing nearly a ton with his armor, spun uncontrollably and flew backward!
"Don't you know you're not supposed to hit people in the face?" Josen shook his hand in distaste. "What a thick hide."
Thanos, who had just been slapped across the face: "..."
Boom!
Dazzling Cosmic Energy lit up the darkness as it shot from Thanos's hands!
The Eternals had no shortage of energy attacks, let alone Thanos, a mutant descended from their ruling bloodline.
The SSR "Eternity Titan" dropped by the main world's Thanos served as evidence of that.
He had never shown such abilities against the Avengers, not because he couldn't, but because he hadn't needed to.
Ahem... fine, Josen couldn't keep making this up.
The ultimate reason was that the writers and directors wouldn't let him.
Otherwise, with the Earth's Avengers consisting of a mere handful of members, how could they have lasted until that cosmic loafer Captain Marvel
