Can Doctor Doom beat Thanos in a fight? How Marvel's new supervillain stacks up against the Avengers' greatest enemy

Can Doctor Doom beat Thanos? It's an increasingly common question among Marvel fans, with Robert Downey, Jr.'s Doctor Doom set to inherit the title of the greatest enemy of the Avengers from Josh Brolin's Mad Titan, the almighty Thanos.

Underneath Doom's armor, he may be just a mortal - but he's also one of the smartest people on Earth, and the current Sorcerer Supreme in comics, so his skills are nothing to sneeze at. Meanwhile, Thanos is a lot less scary without his vaunted Infinity Gauntlet, but he's still perhaps stronger than any individual Avenger even when he's not wielding the Infinity Stones.
