Green Lantern leans into the cosmic side of things, but his Power Ring can create all sorts of tools and obstacles. Thanos comes out on top when it comes to physical strength, but Green Lantern could just create a giant cannon and shoot him into outer space or drop a giant green anvil on his head.
In Marvel Comics, Thanos is an ultimate villain who needs no introduction, but when it comes to DC Comics powerhouses, the Green Lantern Corps is a group of beings who are so powerful that they could easily stop Thanos dead in his tracks.
As arguably the most powerful cosmic beings in their respective universes, Silver Surfer is far more likely to overpower Green Lantern. Firstly, his cosmic energy is far more pure and has an unlimited supply so long as he remains on his board.
But when it comes to outrunning or even beating Thanos, the Scarlet Speedster takes the cake. He can cover and traverse distances faster than any other superhero and can outpace and overcome even the Mad Titan himself. Flash is the pinnacle of speed and agility.
While we could see Hulk eventually being able to shatter Green Lantern's powerful energy constructs given enough time and strength increases, Green Lantern is just as likely to take Hulk out in a number of ways that get around his brute strength.
He's powerful but not invincible, and there are ways to stop him. Hal Jordan, on the other hand, did not need any of these means to beat Superman. Instead, he uses the pure strength of the Green Lantern Corps, proving that a Green Lantern alone is powerful enough to defeat Superman.
Wiz: While these two are certainly powerful individuals, it all falls down to Doctor Strange having experience in taking down cosmic powers like Green Lantern. Boomstick, Green Lantern is potentially a cosmic threat to the universe. Wiz:But Doctor strange deals with cosmic threats like Green Lantern on a daily basis.
Superman has beaten everything the Multiverse has thrown at him and always come back for more. He's faced Thanos's type many times and always won. Superman is vastly more powerful and skilled than Thanos. It wouldn't take him long to realize how dangerous the Mad Titan was and once he did, he'd take the kid gloves off.
As it stands, Batman alone is helpless against cosmic level threats, much less against Thanos. Really, the best thing he could do is to ask for the Hellbat armor from the Justice League so he can survive Thanos' physical attacks. Even then, he'll still lose.
If you're being honest with yourself, you just know that Darkseid would have a much easier time contending with Marvel heroes had he been in that universe, while Thanos would not have been able to reach the same levels as Darkseid in the DC Universe.
The original Green Lantern, Alan Scott's weakness to wood stemmed from his subconscious belief that his powers couldn't affect the material. The later Lanterns' weakness to the color yellow came from the Fear entity trapped within the Green Lantern Corps' central power battery.
Green Lantern's Ringslinging Skills Would Be Too Much For Spider-Man. Green Lanterns are given their abilities through powerful rings that allow them to conjure shapes and objects from their imaginations through their will power. Hal Jordan is considered the best in the Corps, a skilled and fearless ringslinger.
Well, it would be an incredibly close match. Iron Man's genius-level intellect and his array of armors ensure that it will take a while for him to run out of energy. On the other hand, Green Lantern's intense willpower can potentially fuel him until he thoroughly defeats Tony.
Portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, Odin is the powerful ruler of the Nine Realms who has sworn to protect every kingdom under his rule. With Odin still ruling Asgard, Thanos would have easily been stopped had he made a play for the Infinity Gauntlet.
Wonder Woman is one of the toughest beings in any universe but unfortunately for her, she doesn't have the raw power to take Thanos down. She'd run through the Black Order with ease, but Thanos would be too much for her.
While it is fairly obvious that the Flash could run circles around Thanos under normal circumstances as his powers make him virtually untouchable, there wouldn't be much the Scarlet Speedster could do if he was around for Thanos' Infinity Snap as there is no way to outrun the god-like power of cosmic chance.
No, Batman is a human and Thor is literally a god. Much like Batman fighting Superman, it would be over before Batman could even register that he is dead. Thor can move far faster than a human can think.
Incredibly, though, Batman has actually successfully defeated the Hulk. Back in 1981, relations between rival publishers DC and Marvel were in a good way, and the two had yet to come up with the idea their characters existed in different universes.
While he's known for his powers, he's also one of the most intelligent, crafty beings in the universe. He's outsmarted gods, the Elders of the Universe, and cosmic beings. Batman is good but Thanos is out of his league. Thanos is smarter than Batman and, most importantly, a lot craftier.
While Thanos has demonstrated a strong combat capability, dismantling Hulk in a series of rapid, well-aimed punches in Infinity War, taking into account Goku's Ki, transformations, and absolute refusal to give up until he's given it his all, Goku comes out on top.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
Loki's a born trickster and knows how to manipulate his foes. Hal Jordan's headstrong nature will make him easy for Loki to trap and use his powerful magic to ruin Green Lantern's day. Jordan just isn't used to battling someone like Loki.
Green Lantern can create force fields easily so Spider-Man can't even touch him with his hands or webbing. Green Lantern can also shoot energy beams completely decimating Spidey or at least cutting his webbing to where he falls to the ground.
