The imperative is making his psi talents seem even more powerful.
Not ignoring CIS. It is well within Superman's power to leave after images of himself while doing battle, you're just trying to discount it because you know that he would knock Thanos' balls loose if he fought him in this way. Forum rules state, that if a character pulls a feat more than twice, that it is a regular power that they can openly employ. How many times has Superman blitzed people in comics? Didn't Mongul Jr. teach him to fight to the best of his ability?
Let's not forget that Thor is his partner, and that he is plenty tough and versatile enough to hang with Thanos while Superman rips him in the back of the head... or vice verse.
Wank on the Imperative all you want, but the only feats that show me Thanos was any better than he was in B&T was his initial resurrection, and that was only on a physical level, his mind was mush. Where did it ever state that Death gave Thanos a power up this time around? Is this an assumption on your part? If so assumptions hold no weight.
