Thanos & Thor survived a plantey explosion and that was regular Thanos I might add, their durability is beyond xman dreams. Thanos has destroyed planet when he was fighting Drax the destroyer and another destroyed it with a single blast. Xman greatest feat was defeating Exodus, as where Thanos has defeated Silver Surfer, Thor, The Thing, Professor Hulk, Champion of the Universe, Maker( True Beyonder, Kosmos), Adam Warlock, Captain Mar-vell, In-Betweener(depowered),The Fallen One, Namor, Mesphisto, etc and stalemate others Odin, Tyrant, etc, Thanos will suck Nate dry and leave him for dead or turn him into one of his heralders like the Fallen One, Thanos 10/10

Shaman nate was not coming close to beating quabri, who i'd put roughly at green lantern power level.I really doubt he can take down thanos. Why do you guys think "full potential" nate is that much more powerful than shaman nate?
shaman nate grey was NOT EVEN CLOSE to his full potential. and still he brought back to life every1 on the planet and gave them back their life force, even at that potential, he was as powerful as that, hey he also simultaneously destroyed the entire harvester alien race and their devices which had previously destroyed planets, civilizations and sucked the life force of the planet in much the same way as galactus. at full potential nate is more than a match for thanos.

AFAIK,
1. the harvesters were nothing like galactus at all. They planted mitochondria seed on earth, and took billions of years to harvest it. Galactus eats entire planets, not mitochondria. And he does it quickly, not over billions of years.
Even after the harvesting beacon is sent, it takes them at least decades to actually reap the crop.
2. Nate did not resurrect earth on his own power. He absorbed the harvester and used his energy to resurrect them -- in the process, killing himself.
3. Even if he had done so on his own power, that doesn't suggest a power level that can compete with thanos.
Surfer has resurrected an entire planet, and was fine afterwards. Nate killed himself when he did it. And thanos stomps surfer.
4. If nate is as powerful as pheonix full potential (the force, not the mutant), he obviously wins. Not sure where that's coming from, though. Shaman nate could not defeat an ~green lantern enemy. And I didn't see any indication that he was growing in power in the issues I skimmed.
As X-Man
His Psi armor was enough to take hits and throw punches at Hulk.
As Shaman he was able to regenerate (nearly unconscious).
And put up a bag of tricks.
Despite all the above, he isn’t Herald Level.
Hell to match up to Qabirl, he would risk burning himself out.
X-Man has more raw energy in him then Thanos. I give him that.
But does not have a vessel (or body) to carry out his full potential.
Thanos take this.
Oh and the X-Man respect thread has bin updated.

Even with a body that could withstand the amount of power he was putting out, he'd still lose. 1. Thanos is far more durable than most of the MU. 2. He fights guys like Odin and Tyrant, and comes out alive and conscious. To clarify, Tyrant spanked over 12 HERALD level beings in one fight. 3. Thanos is more experienced at combat and a better fighter than Nate. 4. Thanos is at least 5-10x smarter than Nate. Which isn't really a knock, cause Thanos is 5-10x smarter than most of the MU. 5. Nate>=Thanos? Not bloody likely. Nate has never demonstrated anywhere near the power Thanos has. Maybe full potential could surprise me, but I don't see him as being much stronger than Surfer, who Thanos pimp slaps on a regular basis. 😛 And finally 6. Thanos w/e prep. Dude, you screwed any chance he has of winning. Thanos is probably THE BEST prep guy in Marvel. Strange is the only guy who rivals Thanos in prep. And we know what he can do.
So all in all, massive bloody curbstomp in favor of the mad titan. Btw, Thanos is probably equal to Death now, seeing as how they finally hooked up and Richard Ryder saw a disturbing vision of the happy couple. Thanos as Death's consort is a scary scenario. 😱
