considering my statement to you is how the effects of things like black holes and suns can vary from writer to writer, I have NO idea why you chose to go off on a bizarre "thanos is overhyped!!" rant, ignoring the issue I brought up entirely.but since you asked:
Thanos has fought Champion with the power gem, Warrior Madness Thor with the Power Gem, and Drax with the power gem and defeated them with ease. All three had by definition UNLIMITED strength- Champion in particular smashed a planet in one hit that same issue and survived the destruction as if it was nothing.
All three of those individuals= stronger than superman.
Thanos has punked the Surfer, The Runner, and The fallen one on more than one instance, again with little difficulty. Speed blitzes from these three did next to nothing. All three of these have speed far faster than superman does, in addition to cosmic energy generation and great durability.
these three= faster than superman.
Thanos has taken shots from Tyrant, Odin, and Galactus and lived through the ordeal. All of these three have strength, speed, stamina, energy projection and in Odin's case magical ability that dwarf anything superman is capable of.
Damage from these three= far more than superman is capable of dishing out.
Thanos was designed to be a team wrecking universal threat and has pretty much always been this way, outside of some VERY early appearances (someone mentioned an issue of spiderman where he robbed a bank....?) and takes out superman level characters all the time. Superman, on the other hand RARELY takes on anyone Thanos' level without outside help.
This fight if it ever actually happened would last all of six seconds, 3 of which would involve superman being teleported into the middle of a red sun, and the other three consisting of Thanos laughing his ass off about it while he busies himself with more significant issues.
By the very fact that you think Thanos can beat someone with UNLIMIMTED strength, is enough to discount your entire post. THat is called PIS when you can do that.
