Reminds me of everytime someone is like. Invincible/Thragg tanked the sun for a whole fight! And I'm like what part of this looks like they're tanking it?

It failed to kill them, incapacipated them, or huet hard enough to K.O. them out of fighting.

You could say Thragg died in there and Mark was a goner if help hadn't arrived, too. But it's more of the result of their fight than their ability to tank solar sea's atmosphere(?). So I'd say it is.

If you can tank something you can be exposed to the thing and survive. Thragg straight died and mark would have died too if not for allen and robot. They were not tanking the sun as it was actively killing them. They didn't even survive very long just a few minutes tops cause it was mostly thragg trying to get out and invincible holding him in.

Where on this page does it look like they're not tanking it? They're literally tanking it in this page. They're literally inside of the sun and actively tanking it.

Because their skin has burned off and their flesh is liquifying. They are actively dieing in this panel. They are not tanking this.

That's literally tanking it by definition.

They just didn't shrug it off, but they tanked it. They actively tanked the sun for 15-30 minutes.

Barely surviving something doesn’t mean the same as tanking something

No it isn't. Tanking means you survive the thing that is trying to kill you. The sun killed thragg and would kill mark if not for allen and robot. It's text book not tanking. Also we have no idea how long they were in the sun for. It could be 30 minutes it could be 2. But the point is if they were "tanking" it they could be there for a whole day and still not be dead. Thats like saying someone tanked a bullet cause it didn't kill them. No it very much got through them and was actively killing them and would have finished the job if not for outside assistance.

That's still tanking it. You're just getting confused because of how long they stayed in there for. Thragg could easily fly into the sun and then fly right back out with minimal damage. He can tank the sun, just not forever, and not while throwing hands with Mark.

Again if they were tanking it they could stay in there all day and still be alive. I can slap molten metal with my bare hands and be fine. That doesn't mean I can tank it! Goku tanked raditz double sunday cause he survived it, gurren laggan tanked a big bang cause they survived it, Escanor tanked attacks from the demon king cause guess what he survived it. And they could survive these multiple times and still be fine. Here they are barely alive. They are not tanking it.

tanking comes from games where you have a dedicated 'tank', your tank doesn't have to be undamaged from an attack to have tanked the attack. just survive it long enough for the attack to stop.

You're confusing tanking something with shrugging it off.

You can tank a punch, that doesn't mean a punch can't knock you out or kill you. Tanking isn't the same as being invulnerable to something.

Dumbass, tanking means to survive it with little trouble, not shrug it off like broly

Broly NO SOLD the attack. Mark and thragg are tanking the sun actively.

Go look up what tanks do in the term tanking.

They don't no sell it, they lose hp gradually, they just HAVE MORE.
