He did not. That was pre-death Thanos that augmented himself via bionics and mysticism. That was a much weaker Thanos than the one that we see today.
The later versions amp himself with mysticism, and cosmic powers, aside from getting several boosts from death along the way. In the future according to the Infinity Siblings story line, he finds a way to become an amalgamation of both Death and Eternity.
Well for one in his latest series he lost a ton of power and was subsequently drawn into a fight with a giant alien rat creature that bit and broke his arm. If his bones were still titanium this probably wouldn't have happened.
Actually those implants would make him a cyborg(assuming he still has them). Cyborg-Superman's technopathy did more than just control technology, he was reforming things and controlling them like matter manipulation, like when he took over Steel's original armor and actually was compressing it to crush John Henry. He also did similar to pieces of The Source Wall, but it took him a while (months I think), and both him being trapped in it and the Godwave damaging it(he was controlling pieces broken off due to the Godwave getting closer) probably were factors, but worth noting. I have no idea if Thanos still has the implants, but there's more to Cy's control of technology than it being like he hacked it.

So the premise of this thread was for it to be a spite thread? I can only pray that this is being noted by Bada and -Pr-, because Bazie was your nemesis and you got off clean.
Tyrant is an extremely high Technopath as well, why didn't he attempt to do any of that? maybe it depends on the particular writer? If Thanos isn't a Cyborg, he'd beat him with ease. If he is, then he probably gets hacked, but then again what type of brain does Henshaw have, because Thanos is a telepath. I mean if we're going to pull these kinds of shenanigans.
It took him a great length of time to control/hack the source wall, plus he did it unchallenged iirc. Steels armour isn’t actually part of him like the implants are with Thanos. Plus the implants are blended in amongst cosmic/ dark magic amplification.
