I listed those in the Marvel and DC Universe in terms of who is the most powerful. Thanos is #1 for a reason 😉 Notice Apocalypse did not make the list?

Pretty much. From the OHOTMU:
"Thanos possessed incalculable superhuman power. By far the most powerful of the Titanian Eternals, Thanos was a mutant whose massive, heavy-bided body was born with the capacity to synthesize cosmic energy for certain personal uses. (This is a trait that Thanos shared with his father Alars and all Earthborn Eternals but not with Titan-born Eternals. Through still unknown bionic amplification, Thanos increased his physical strength and resilience to levels surpassing even the strongest of the Earth Eternals. Through meditation and certain mystical techniques, Thanos augmented his power in still other ways, enabling him to tap, transform, and direct vast quantities of cosmic energy for destructive force. His skin in nearly invulnerable, particularly against heat, cold, electricity, radiation, toxins, aging, and disease, and he can survive indefinitely without food or water even before his "curse" from Death left him immortal, unable to die. His mind is also invulnerable to most forms of psychic attack, and can project a psionic blast of energy as well as blasts of plasma/cosmic energy from his eyes and hands. He usually employs a hovering chair with additional offensive weapons and the ability to teleport fantastic distances. Deadliest of all Thanos's attributes, perhaps, was his mind, whose superhuman level of intellect was totally dedicated to the annihilation of life."

Where the hell did you get that info?
John Byrne, who wrote the issue wherein Darkseid and Galactus fought (Silver Surfer kicked Orion's ass in that issue as well - damn near killed him). Darkseid unleashed his Omega Beams, and...Galactus smirked at him. He then raised his hand, unleashed a beam, and put Darkseid on his ass.
Thanos is also, without a doubt, more powerful than Galactus by leaps and bounds.

well if Darkseid is so hard, how come he admitted defeat to superman way back in the early 90s.

Didn't the living Tribune eventually defeat Thanos by just thinking or making the infinty gauntlet loose it's powers or something.
Not sure about that. Will research it...and Thanos with the Heart of the Universe is more powerful than even The Living Tribunal. Infinity Gauntlet grants him mastery over Time, Space, Power, Mind, the Soul, and Reality.
And...Doomsday put Darkseid on his ass with 2 punches. Get real. Do remember that his Omega Beams failed against Doomsday AND Galactus? What will they do to Thanos, who cannot die?
Thanos trained Gamora, one of the top hand 2 hand martial artists in the entire Marvel Universe.
Thanos went toe to toe with Odin in Asgard.
Checkmate?
