Ko through the Starheart. Back when Alan was new, he mentioned he could probably destroy the solar system. He's much more powerful now.

The cube was just about burned out, good for only "one or two shots, maybe" according to Starlord, and they never show the fight (Unless there's new material, but it doesn't happen in the Thanos Imperative series.)

And all the energy/magic the Starheart can draw could make him just as powerful. Has Thanos ever harmed someone that was intangible?

Alan can draw on various magic, right? He can tap into Fate's spells, Zatanna's, etc... Alan has more choices than Thanos, I believe.
Er, not really. The Starheart is the conduit for DC magic, and arguably its strongest magical presence, but can't actively tap other powers. He's not Black Alice with a power ring, after all.

The only thing that I am seeing about Alan is nothing but "if" and potential. What has he actually done on panel to suggest that he could beat Thanos?
He's got enough to make it a conversation. A couple ridiculous raw power feats, legit teambuster status, etc. Personally I don't think he'd pull it off, but that's me. Despite being among his biggest fans on KMC, I've never been at the very front of the Alan power level bandwagon.

Alan Scott can just trap Thanos in a time loop or freeze time.In Crisis Times Five he used the green flame to speed up time on a race and watched it evolve and go into extinction in less time then it takes to finish a cup of coffee.
Scans of alan freezing time on an opponent ever? Surfer was able to suspend a woman in time by encasing her in a floating cosmic limbo, but in a CIS on battle this would not be a tactic that i would use to give him the win against thanos.
Additionally most of the stuff brought forth on the Alan side has been speculative or far fetched extrapolation.

Don't you mean, scans of Alan freezing time in any situation, in or outside of a combat scenario? Since forgetting to use powers in a fight is usually PIS, not CIS?
According to the board rules, even if Flash doesn't use his speed to win 99% of his fights in the comics, he'll use them to win all of his fights on the boards. That's because Flash not using his speed to win fights is PIS, not CIS.
I interpret that to mean if a character possesses a power he rarely, if ever, used in a combat situation in comics, it's because of PIS, not CIS. CIS is more if a character is simply lacking in intelligence or skill.
Or, Grundy having no combat skills is CIS, because he's dumb. Thor not using his hammer as a guided missile to blitz everyone is PIS, because that would make most of his fights uninteresting and be bad for plot.
