Most overplayed weakness?
Lots of characters have weaknesses, some of them are truly debilitating while others seem like minor inconveniences that overzealous posters will sometimes latch onto.
In my view some of the most exaggerated weaknesses in comics are as follows: Superman's magic vulnerability, Martian Manhunter's weakness to fire, Silver Surfer's lack of h/h skills, Juggernaut's vulnerability to tp, etc.
Any else that anyone can think of?
Galactus with an empty belly.
Darkseid`s weakness to posterboys.
Juggernaut growing weak for doing something besides breaking things.
Xavier`s guilt.
Storm falling in love with villains. "Ohh he is facinating"
Apocalypse at low levels of power, needing to hibernate etc.
Everybody in the god dammed universe being totally vulnerable to a few seconds of Reed/Doom/Batman prep.

Yeah, people thinking that there's some kind of formula to his level of nourishment where a particular character can beat him regardless of power level.I hear that at 0.0001% power Green Arrow can take 4/10 against him. 🙄

Was it EVER stated on what percentage he was when hungry?
the size thing might be gone now since he's whatever size the artist wants him to be at now. when thanos shot him he was tiny, even though he was fed, but in annihilation he was pretty large even while weak as ever (you'd think it'd be ironic to create a form fitting restraint that also drains on a guy who is known to shrink when powering down)

The only real gague is that at critically low levels he can still destroy several solar systems with one blast.

I don't think MM to fire or Jug to TP is very exaggerated. Fire's normally crippling to J'onn, and TP's practically the only reliable way to take Juggy down'

I don't care much for the size changes though, I think he should always be protrayed at a size the SS can fit in the palm of his hand and be completelly covered by his fingers if he closes it. That scene of his creation is very cool.
Thanos is pretty huge right now when compared to his own history though
