Hell he even went on the O-line.PC Darky was probably equal or above Odin. Current (no ALE) Darkseid is a pussy. Uatu, has no feats, and the only feats Watchers have, is losing to Surfer, and Quaser. Tyrant, is above or maybe as high as Odin, and an upgraded Thanos (I mean, a permanent upgrade) stood up to him just fine (Thanos did have an offensive weapon, but the defense was his). Ganthet may very well be above.
Vishu (actual skyfather, not level), would get his ass beat badly against Thanos. The only two measured skyfathers are really Zues and Odin. Zues is supposedly equal to Odin, but even Thanos would stand a very good chance against him (judging by feats, not by hype).
In other words, you don't have to be Odin level, to be a skyfather level in raw power.
Or, you could just be ignoring all history and say Thanos is not a skyfather level.
Fact of the matter is:
Thanos can knock Galactus back quite a bit with a blast, but Surfer wasn't even able to make him really notice. (call it pis, but Thanos has these showings all the time)
Above top tier, by far.Thanos alone beat the Maker. Gladiator was scared to death of Maker.
Above top tier by far.Thanos stood up to Odin, took his blast, and got his attention. Drax and Surfer got one-shotted by pussy blasts.
Above top tier by far.Thanos basically one-shotted Hulk. Thor has never done so.
Above top tier by far.Thanos beat Surfer like no herald level, or slightly above top tier has ever done.
Above top tier by far.Thanos managed to match In-Betweener's power level. Surfer was nothing to him.
Above top tier by far.Thanos has one-shotted Adam Warlock. Drax got his ass beat by Warlock.
Above top tier by far.Thanos took Genis's blast like he wasn't even there. Genis has basically stalemated Surfer.
Above top tier by far.Thanos has taken Surfer's blast like nothing. Surfer has basically one-shotted Hulk.
Above top tier by far.I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.
Thanos is superiour to top-tiers, and he is on a skyfather range of power.
You haven't said anything I dont' know. I have already stated that Thanos is above all top tiers. But he is not superior to all above top tiers. Or how do you think he would do against Takion, Validus, Infinity Man, or anyone in that range? ALl those feats are nice. Many of them I call PIS. The galactus feat does not impress me since Big G wasn't hurt in the slightest.
