A good point - there's something to be said for teamwork in many of these cases. How well will these teams, without prep, work together? If Thanos knows about these teams in advance, he's probably come up with an order of beating them too. Let's take a look at your team, Scoobless, and I'll play Thanos:

Nate Grey
Mr Majestic
Dr Strange
Green Lantern (Jordan)
Flash (West)

The most immediate threat would be Dr. Strange, so he'd be the person I'd take out first, before he got too fancy with his spells. I also know him the best. During my month of prep time, I could probably strike up some deal with the Vishanti, perhaps in exchange for some Infinity gems or something, so that they'd deny Strange help. When the fight starts, I could immediately attack Strange, who is shocked to discover that much of his magic is no longer working. Strange, being a human, couldn't withstand more than one attack from Thanos. During that time, I'd target Nate Grey, who isn't THAT much of a power threat, but his telepathic ability is keeping me from mind-blasting everybody else. I'd activate the psi-blocker that I have in my gauntlet, turning Nate's psionic power off. I'd then mind-blast the rest of the group, which would take out Nate, Flash and probably Majestic (I hear Hal can block telepathy). That just leaves me and Hal, who would go down swinging, but just doesn't have enough power to take me, as I beat him to death with one of those yellow little league bats.

i lied....on more
team vengeance.

I think Strange is a good option - it causes a lot of problems for Thanos if he doesn't take him down fast. I don't see how the others could take out a Thanos with prep. Nate is vulnerable to psi blockers, he knows Warlock waaaay too well, Spiderman is....Spiderman, and he's beaten Hulk and Surfer without prep.

Okay revised team two:
Dr. strangefate
Ghost rider
Heroic Doomsday
Darkclaw
Doom 2099 (if one wants to consider him a hero of sorts)...if not.....than silver surfer...or captain universe.

Ghost Rider is also a pretty good option, but he has that one hail mary attack. He'd be better served being teamed with people who could set Thanos up for the coup de grace by Ghost Rider. Dr. Strangefate is also a good option for the same reason Strange was before. Heroic Doomsday is plenty powerful. I don't know anything about Darkclaw or Doom 2099, but so far, this team actually looks pretty good.

new team 3: team amalgam
Darkclaw
dr. strangefate
whatever the name of the amalgam between martain manhunter and gean grey

and iron lantern

The cool thing about these amalgams is the fact that there aren't very many comics with them, limiting Thanos' prep time. Good thinking.

team 4: the "good" bad guys.
Heroic Doomsday
dr. doom (at times and by circumstances he could be considered)
deadpool

adam warlock.

Not enough power here - Doomsday is the only real threat. Everyone else Thanos could run through even without prep.

in revised team 1 spiderman and the hulk or surfer are basically meat sheilds and are there to distract thanos while their more powerful counterparts go to work on him

same with the baddie team.

this may be a mistake on your (Thanos'😉 part Flash can reach him instantly and perform an "infinite mass" attack and Majestic is raw power with a millenia of training and no weak morality to hold him back..... he and the Flash would be the most immediate threats....... probably

Nate Grey's TK shield was only ever broken twice...... once by an enemy using his own power against him and once by the Hulk after a lot of hits and time to get worked up....... actually Thanos was in that story...... Nate used his power to create "psi-armour" for himself which let him stand up to the Hulk in a physical fight..... he later gave the Hulk psi-armour which amplified his strength a hell of a lot allowing him to beat down Thanos solo

Actually a GL can use his ring to defend his entire team against telepathic assaults..... GL (not sure which one) used this ability to protect the JLA against the White Martians

GL rings are no longer vulnerable to yellow

So GL and Nate can defend against mental assault..... if they take out the psi-blocking device Thanos has then Nate can amplify Majestic's strength by a hell of a lot and he could probably take out Thanos himself at that point

EDIT: Also... Majestic has a degree of resistance to mental attacks so a mind blast probably wouldn't lay him out

Thanos would likely take out the most powerful ones first and ignore the rest. He's too smart for meat shields, lol.

k... how about
captain universe.
cosmic spidey
speed demon
dr. strangefate
and burning godzilla

I say it's Strange because of the nature of his power. Thanos have shields that can withstand a full attack by Galactus. With it up, Flash wouldn't be able to penetrate, and neither would Majestic. That gives him operating time. Strange, on the other hand, can do things that ignore the laws of physics entirely...including Thanos' shield. That's why he's the biggest threat. While Flash knocks himself out on Thanos' shield, Thanos will have time to deal with Strange, and then perhaps Majestic.

Nate Grey's TK shield was only ever broken twice...... once by an enemy using his own power against him and once by the Hulk after a lot of hits and time to get worked up....... actually Thanos was in that story...... Nate used his power to create "psi-armour" for himself which let him stand up to the Hulk in a physical fight..... he later gave the Hulk psi-armour which amplified his strength a hell of a lot allowing him to beat down Thanos solo

Nate has never faced energy projection the likes of Thanos before. Nate's shielding hasn't really, really been tested because he's generally stuck to earth foes. Thanos was able, in one blast, to completely shatter Quasar's shield. That's the same shield that the combined forces for Hulk, Hercules, Wolverine, the Fantastic Four and several Avengers were unable to dent. Nate's in the big leagues now. It becomes something of a non-issue though, with the psi-dampener that Thanos whipped up during his prep time.

Actually a GL can use his ring to defend his entire team against telepathic assaults..... GL (not sure which one) used this ability to protect the JLA against the White Martians

I can see that. I never really specified whether the opposing team has any prep time or prior knowledge of Thanos, but to be fair, we'll assume they do. If so, then GL could protect him. The thing is - GL shields have been shattered far too often for me to believe that Thanos couldn't penetrate them. Thanos could physically shatter it, then psi-blast everybody.

GL rings are no longer vulnerable to yellow

Interesting, I didn't realize that. ok, I'll make a note of that.

So GL and Nate can defend against mental assault..... if they take out the psi-blocking device Thanos has then Nate can amplify Majestic's strength by a hell of a lot and he could probably take out Thanos himself at that point

It's a conceivable scenario in a no-prep situation. Thanos' device would likely not be kept someplace where they could just "destroy" it, though. GL shields aren't as strong as I think they should be, Majestic is something of a wild card, but I'm not sure it's enough to take down someone who could send Galactus flying.

EDIT: Also... Majestic has a degree of resistance to mental attacks so a mind blast probably wouldn't lay him out

My familiarity with Majestic is limited. What are some of his telepatic resistence feats?

Hmm...would Captain Universe and Cosmic Spidey qualify? IMO they're at skyfather level.

Burning Godzilla?

Green Lantern (Kyle)
Heroic Doomsday
Dr. Strange
Dr. Strangefate.
Nate Grey.

Seems GL and Nate are popular choices. I can see how GL is deserving, but I still think Nate (or any mutant) is too much of a liability - their powers are shut down too easily by Earth scientists, much less someone like Thanos.

i dunno if the cosmic guys are at skyfather's level. I'll wait for a second opinion.
burning godzilla, is godzilla when his body temp got too hot and he went on a melt down. He got soo bright no one could look directly at him and his power became so great no monster could stand up to him....period.....I don't know how thanos is going to easily ignore that hell of a meat sheild.

mine too........ i'm mostly aware of him through the tournament...... i don't have any of his comic appearances but he sounds pretty powerful

cable (no virus)
proff X
magneto
gladiator
thor

(professuer X and magneto together make onlsaught, who owns)

That team is too mutant heavy - you don't want to double up weaknesses on Thanos when he's preparing for you. All he'd have to do is build a mutant deactivation field, or steal one of the 10000000000000000000000000 mutant power dampening fields sitting in just about every scientist's office and Cable, Prof, Magneto are instantly out of the fight.

OH CRAP! I totally forgot about a few of thanos' powers......even if he was losing this battle, he would start teleporting (blinking) people away and take them out one on one. How about we striken that ability from the playing feild since that is waaaaaaay too cheap.

ok then....Mutants = hinderance against Thanos, so i'm dropping Grey from the team and replacing him with Captain Marvel...... i think i'll also drop Flash for.......Superman

Mr Majestic
Dr Strange
Green Lantern (Jordan)
Captain Marvel (Genis Vell)
Superman

GL and Doc Strange can stay at a distance and protect each other and their team from mental assaults while using longer ranged attacks, they can also give Supes radiation protection incase Thanos gets hold of some kryptonite

So with Supes, Majestic and Marvel doing there thing on Thanos Strange and Lantern can cook something up to take him out permanently..... if he survives the assault

Martian Manhunter
Dr. Strange
Superman
Ghostrider
Dr. Manhattan. 😆
