Actually wrong, Thanos could only wield the HOTU due to his experience and his body being used to wielding other cosmic powers before, if a normal person tried to use it they would probably blow themselves up or something.
Shuma could likely use it though

Exactly.
No one can beat THOTI, maybe some exceptions about stalemating it. I think that even PR Beyonder would get wrecked.

I agree. A number of factors could determine what a HOTU user does with it and how well they use that power. For instance, if an idiot like The Blob were to wield it he could probably get it tricked out of his possession or not even know what to do with it.
With Shuma, its intellect is already incalcuable, and who knows what it would try to accomplish with it in its possession?
I think it'd make a fun story arc, even though it's revisiting the whole thing with Thanos, but I think it could play out differently just based on the character change.
