It's something that you'd have to be a complete idiot to even think about bringing up.
It's not anything we don't already know, it's pretty obvious. If a writer had Superman winning it wouldn't be anymore uneven than most other conventianal scenarios.
And its not so idiotic because it lends some perspective, as in it's not really a David and Goliath contest, it's much closer.
PIS certainly rears it ugly head in some of his fights but Thanos is a pure raw physical threat. Think Doomsday with concussive energy beams and other high energy beams. The list of esoteric abilities he can level at Superman are very small if any. And in terms of raw power he's not busting solar systems or anything.
He's a low skyfather not far enough above the level of physicality of Superman. The reality is a fight with Supes would put him at physical risk, its not like Superman doesn't have the sheer speed and strength to outperform him in a physical fight. He has a greater margin of error than Supes because of his defensive countermeasures but he is also less mobile and evasive.

While I can see what you are saying in Re: Superman and from that perspective, it doesn't change the fact that Thanos is superman's superior in pretty much every category that matters. While Thanos does have raw power greater than Superman, he also isn't a buffoon, and is considerably smarter than Superman as well. The simple truth is, that Thanos is just more powerful and higher up on the food chain that supes. That is what matters on KMC, we aren't debating what DC writers would do with this fight.

Thanos is more durability to energy based attacks, I'll give him that. Superman is stronger, far faster, more maneuverable, more durable against certain types of physical attacks.
I don't know about you but I think those categories matter, especially the speed one.

1. So he's never engaged Thanos in a physical confrontation. Yet you feel he's well versed on knowing how much stronger this clone was than Thanos? How is that possible.2. This is a very relevant fact... how would mixing Glads Dna with his own make him 5 times stronger or more powerful then. If thanos is already stronger than Glads.. why would mixing glads DNA then make that clone 5 times stronger than the real Thanos?
2. I am a little over twice as strong as my father ever was in his prime and taller than both him and my mother. If my father is already stronger than my mother... why would mixing my mother's DNA then make the baby (me) more than 2X as strong as my father?
the reason supes is considered the golden boy is b/c he is given golden showers by writers... get it?
Supes cannot win against thanos at least not for the majority.
he is in the same boat as MN.. he wins because he will tun the long shot into the majority... seriously? wth?! .00001% chance of winning gets turned into .999999% chance of winning

First I'm surprised you used Irregardless....
Second, please list me the fights where Warlock and Thanos locked up in a physical confrontation
Third, that is honestly the best you could do? Trying to draw a correlation between your mother and father and genetically engineering of a clone?
