As for Thanos being a god, he is virtually immortal, he has powers greater than many gods, and it has been stated that he is a god many times, thus that's good enough for me. What walks like a god, talks like a god, destroys the universe like a god...is a god.
Sigh... Thanos is not a God. Not even a little one. He may think he's a God, or act as one, but that doesn't make him a God.
He's the son of Mentor, end of story. And if Thanos is a God, what about his brother, Starfox ? Is he a God also ? Didn't think so. Thanos was already strong when he was a child, but later he cheated also a bit : he used technology to increase the power levels of his strength.
He has possessed the powers of a God (thanks to the Cosmic Cube, Infinity Gauntlet...), yes, but nothing more.
