ok...... Thanos would see Strange as a threat (as you stated earlier) so he would do a dimension slip, then come back in astral form
Well, Thanos, during his month, would further augment his psionic abilities. Strange strugged against Xavier on the Astral Plane, so even his astral form is vulnerable against Thanos, who will likely be expecting such a move from Strange.
Majestic would brutally assault him backed up by marvel while Thor teleports to Asgard to get that belt that doubles his strength, comes back and starts laying into him (Thor has used the added strength from this belt to beat Thanos before) with GL protecting everyone and staying out of the immediate battle by zipping around at full speed, Majestic Thor and Marvel continue to hammer him......... which is probably enough to beat him in itself........ while Strange works up an energy sapping spell to draw off his power and make him more vulnerable
Given how his shields were sufficient that even in his less powerful days he held off Champion with the power gem, and after his power up, even Galactus exerted himself as never before to break Thanos' shields, I don't think the combined might of Majestic, Thor and Marvel can break it anytime soon. They could break through eventually, especially with the belt of strength, but Thanos would only need enough time to take out GL, who if you recall, is the only person capable of preventing them from being mentally assaulted. GL's shields go down to Thanos before Thanos shields go down, so he takes out GL, and before the others can break through his own shield, he sends out a mental attack that takes out Majestic, Thor and Marvel. Thor heals rapidly, and won't be down for long (not sure about Majestic). But by then, GL is down, Strange is down with the unexpected Astral assault, Majestic and Marvel are down. That just leaves Thor who is groggy from the mental attack and easy pickings.
You'd need someone durable and mentally capable to prevent that scenario.

Except that works more in Thanos favor, since he's a better planner and even worse, the prep is one-sided. A month one-sided too.
I think GL and Quasar are too similar - GL shields are beaten pretty easily, and Thano mowed through Quasar's shields. They won't have much effect. Wonder Woman's lack of durability will really hurt her here.

if Thanos was to confront Strange in an astral battle he would leave his body unattended and easier to attack

Strange could also help with mental defense, and Thanos would have a tough time taking out an experienced GL who is staying back and moving fast so as not to let his team down while also trying to keep up with an astral Strange

maybe in a 1 on 1 but not when he has other things to occupy him and with the GL in question staying away from him

Majestic also has a magical background and has defences against mental assaults

plus Gladiator has a severe weakness against certain radiation which Thanos could exploit
dr.strange
binary
green lantern
herald johny storm
gladiator
now with gl they have a psionic defense and this team doest have any real exploitable weaknesses other than gladiators confidence
i think its a good balance binary and gladiator would attack thanos with everything they got while gl could protect them from psionics and and strange would attack with a variety of spells meanwhile johhnys power "cosmic vision" would allow him to exploit thanos'es weaknesses

first they said heroes only so you cant use onslaught and your team relies too much on mutants which thanos could easily nullify there powers that leaves prepped thanos versus adam warlock
plus some of those characters may be out of the power league of this forum

and you still have Gladiator who has an easy to exploit weakness

Thanos wouldn't have to leave his body...astral forms are still vulnerable to telepathic attack. Remember what Nate Grey did to Xavier? Thanos doesn't necessarily have to PULL Strange back to the real world, he just has to mentally assault him. And anyone who could mindwipe the Beyonder and the most powerful Herald of Galactus could certainly KO Strange.
Strange could also help with mental defense, and Thanos would have a tough time taking out an experienced GL who is staying back and moving fast so as not to let his team down while also trying to keep up with an astral Strange
Thanos wouldn't necessarily HAVE to catch GL - GL blocks the group telepathically through his field, which they'd have to stay inside of. All Thanos has to do to make everybody vulnerable is smash through the field. Once he does that, their psionic protection is gone. He can deal with GL in his own time.
maybe in a 1 on 1 but not when he has other things to occupy him and with the GL in question staying away from him
Right - he can chase down the GL later. In the meantime, he'd psionically assault (or even worse - reprogram to work for him) - Thor, Marvel and possibly Majestic.
Majestic also has a magical background and has defences against mental assaults
I think there's "mental resistence" coming from willpower that makes it hard for someone to control you, and there's "mental immunity" that makes you impenetrable. The only way to determine which Majestic is is to list some of his mental resistence feats. That will give us all a better idea of whether he could stand up to psionc assaults from someone who mentally took out the Beyonder.

Binary is a really good choice, no one has mentioned her yet. The problem with relying on GL for psionic attacks is that it requires his forcefield around them. GL forcefields are notorious for breaking against really powerful foes. Thanos is as powerful as they come. the psionic protection GL gives to them is only active as long as they stay within the field. That limits their mobility, and it also limits what they can do to him in return. And Thanos can smash through that field and then their psionic protection is gone.
Gladiator is also a bad option - he's actually afraid of Thanos, which will automatically affect his confidence even before the fight starts. Thanos could pretty easily say, "Ahhh, Gladiator. My favorite victim. How I so enjoyed assaulting you before, and how I'll so enjoy doing it again. Maybe you'll die this time. You think?". Gladiator is bound to take that poorly, lol.
