I'm not denying that Mongul is stronger than Supes, I'm just questioning whether or not he's actually more powerful overall than PC Supes. Supes had a lot of powers back then that he was always "forgetting" about, and when he did he was taken on by plenty of people who shouldn't have been a problem. See the Pre Crisis Supes that exist here on the vs Forum is considered to be uber because of his outlandish feats, but those feats that put him at skyfather level weren't really taken into consideration from one issue to the next back then. That's why he got manhandled by gorillas and the like several times. Beating PC Supes in a comic in no way, shape, or form suggest that a character could beat him in a forum battle. I guarantee that Thanos could be WRITTEN to take on PC Supes if Supes didn't use all the uber single issue powers that were always popping up, but as you pointed out most people agree that Thanos would lose to him in a forum fight. So I ask again, aside from being stronger than Supes what does Mongul have to his credit that suggest he can beat Thanos? Mind you, I'm not denying the existence of things that put him ahead of Thanos, I'm just asking what they are because I'm not familiar with them.And the Maker is an evolved cosmic cube that's equal to some of the low to mid level abstracts in Marvel(she used to be known as the Beyonder). When she/he assumed a physical form, Thanos beat her in a strait up fight(no plot devices or any real prep involved).
