Who would give Thanos the hardest, toughest, fight?
1) Thor in full Warriors Madness, equipped with his Belt of Strength and his Asgardian Battle Armor...
2) Cyborg Superman; battle takes place on Planet Cybertron (Henshaw can use the available tech, but cant possess the planet and go into "Unicron" mode however)
3) Sundipped Superman (24 hr dip before the fight starts)...
4) Hunter/Prey Doomsday with Nimrod providing support via his scanning ability and weakness exploitation...
Battles last until one side has been KO'ed or killed; no BFR...
3 and 4 beat him, and possibly 2 as well, as his own enhancing personal tech and shielding would be of no help against such a powerful techno-path, though I've no idea what all Cybertron could offer him. I'm sure there's some pretty dangerous stuff that could picked up, assimilated or built by Cyborg Superman there.
I'll let a better Thor fan debate that part.

Yeah, I think 2-4 would beat Thanos handily. 1 likely would as well, considering the equipment he's been given.
As far as who would do the 'best' against Thanos, I'd go with sundipped Superman. Recall his battle with Darkseid: Supes was merely within close proximity to the sun for a few seconds, and he shredded through Darky (literally) as though he was less than nothing. During OWAW, Supes sundipped for a few minutes and was able to combat/defeat B-13, shove Warworld around, etc. In this thread he's been given a full-on 24 hour sundip... Yeah, he'd school Thanos with the utmost of ease.

His best shot is against the first opponent imo because Thor would most likely be just all raw power and rage. He could teleport him to another part of the Universe and hope Thor forgets about him which isn't completely out of the question if this is the last seen version of Warrior Madness. If he engages in anything even resembling a physical confrontation, he'd get utterly stomped.
On #4, I envision Nimrod scanning Thanos for weakness, coming up with the "Drax Force," and then constantly bombarding him with that to dramatically reduce Thanos's durability...
@Rage of Olympus
No BFR; fights last until 1 side is either dead or KO'ed...

For the 100th time... Darkseid is no Thanos when it comes to a physical confrontation. What Superman did against DS isn't indicative of what he'd do against Thanos. Trying to conflate the two as the same is really silly imo.
Then Thanos better pray he figures out some way to return Thor back to normal, because Thor won't stop coming until he gets his hands on Thanos and then it's game over.
In your opinion Thanos' durability > Darkseid's. Regardless, I didn't conflate anything - I merely reiterated what Superman was able to do to Darkseid, just by moving within close proximity to the sun for a few seconds. Then I reiterated the power upgrade he received upon sundipping for a few minutes during OWAW.
In this match he's been given a 24 hour sundip. He'd annihilate Thanos with ease, in most everyone's opinion.

It isn't far fetched of one in either direction though, regardless of who you consider more powerful. Both treat top tiers, and heralders as nuisances and insects.
Except for Superman, of course.

I understand perfectly what you're saying, and I do agree, Superman would be a beast and certainly could beat thanos based on these stips. The point is, which you brought up, is DS durability is not even close to Thanos. If you can point me to any situation where a herald level being has beaten thanos h2h and shut his eyes and had him begging for mercy... then we'll talk about them being equal. Problem is, that has never, nor probably will ever happen. Thinking DS has good durability is one thing, trying to say it's equal to Thanos is another thing entirely. When feats make it clear Thanos durability is above DS.
I simply mentioned that Superman was able to easily shred through Darkseid just by getting close to the sun. Don't know how you got some sort of Darkseid/Thanos durability comparison from that..?

Pretty obvious that Galan is using DS as a baseline as opposed to claiming that DS's durability > Thanos'. Both are in the same tier of power, so it only stands to reason........yeah, you get the rest.
