So its basically up to debate which one is PIS or not. On a regular note, the JLA tends to get defeated a lot by people far less weaker than Thanos so we cant call it PIS because it happens all the time.Then we have to look at who each of them regularly fight/stalemate and Thanos fight trans/skyfathers regularly and abuses high heralds and throw them to the side like they are nothing whereas the high heralds on here stalemate or lose to other high/mid or low heralds.
If we use consistent showing, neither of the high heralds couldnt withstand much from Thanos (except, maybe Surfer).
Consinstent showings have Supes continually defeating other top tiers, the same goes for Thor, SS and Captain Marvel. This doesn't hurt them in this fight, it helps them.
On another level we've seen guys like Supes defeat other teams of top tiers, and defeat legitimate skyfathers. The same for Thor. Thanos hasn't beat any skyfathers btw, hurts him in this debate. As guys like Supes and Thor have actually beat or hurt characters that we more powerful than Thanos. Or characters with more devastating attacks than Thanos.
As I said one on one Thanos would beat Supes or Thor but it would be a good fight while it lasted. As a team the only thing Thanos can do to keep them off tactically are his shields, which are nothing but a defensive counter measure.
