[@untiff7169]

@@joshwright4799 well i think it would be scp 280 because let's imagine thanos has an infinity gauntlet, reality wouldn't work because it is intangible in it's other state, it doesn't have a mind nor is very sentient (it only attacks), I think all of the stones wouldn't work while it was in it's intangible state, also it only attacks humans.

[@weirdwillowtree4087]

Nah they probably just brushed it off thinking it was from all the crack

[@jacobc9221]

@@untiff7169 Thanos could just fix his home planet and teleport to it. Or teleport to his spaceship. Or create an astronaut suit to survive space, using the infinity stones to create his own spaceship, complete with all the essentials, so he can float about the cosmos 5 lightyears away, thinking up ways to kill the deadly shadow. By the time 280 got to him, he would find a way to at least get rid of it, like using light. Then, it would become tangible, and he could teleport it into a blackhole. Light can't escape those, how would darkness? TL;DR, did you forget that he had the infinity stones halfway through thinking up your reply?

[@jruler93]

There's little reason to be afraid of being alone in the dark. The worst that can happen is tripping over something you didn't see (which, could be horrible for some, like the elderly or the disabled). But many terrible things can come from _not_ being alone in the dark, even without a killer shadow looking for a chance to tear into you.

Dr. C. Shadow who will win the fight sinister 6 or scp-280 and why?

[@Dr.C.Shadow]

@@joshwright4799 that depends on the membership of the Sinister 6. I know that Hydroman, Sandman and the Lizard wouldn't be killed by 280 because Sandman is made of sand, Hydroman is made of water and the Lizard has a good healing factor that allows him to let limbs regrow and let wounds heal. Dr. Octopus and 280 would be able to beat each other if Doc Oc finds out 280s weakness. Electro would be harder for 280 because he produces light.

How do paranormal investigators manage to get ANY kind of lucrative media following in the SCP universe? They would either get massacred by an SCP or repeatedly get their footage and memories swiped by the Foundation before they managed to make it big.

The foundation creates fake haunted houses so the investigators keep going to safe places.

[@MrNote-lz7lh]

I guess they're just skilled like that.

[@ArturerroPL]

Perhaps, it *is* beneficial to the Foundation. Since, they portray the possible SCPs as rumors or hoaxes, just for fun and their subscribers, they actually help to maintain the Masquerade. But idk, that’s an interesting thing to think about

I wonder, if it was kneeling at the sight of 1591, together with it's dematerialization ability being similar to effect of 1591, maybe it's not afraid of light, maybe it worship light but in a fanatical way, like "i'm not worth of it" so it runs from it out of respect, but seeing 1591 must have being like seeing God for the creature.
