Even if he isnt oneshotted he will be destroyed regardless.....again this really does just come down between thanos and Prime.
no, he's had an upgrade prior to returning to service for Galactus.
he beat UniLord, a dimensional God. and in order to beat UniLord he had to give himself an upgrade, he also took in UniLord's powers too (but I think he released it all back, though not sure).
Galactus is implied to have upgraded him, as well as removed certain mental blocks.
I was taking issue with your presentation of the Surfer and specifically your use of Thor/Odin and other low showings.
Surfer would easily survive an attack from SMP, whether or not he could survive a sustained attack, the fact is that he would not get one-shotted and he would clearly be able to bring some threat to the fight. at the very least he would keep SMP distracted using his speed and intangibility.
he might even be able to affect SMP's mind, via astral plane attack!
