And the list goes on. For all of what Reed has done, Thanos has also done things at those levels. Reed has been struggling for years to find a cure for Benn Grimm...if Benn was in Thanos hands, Thanos would have probably gained him humanity along with immortality as well.

How is any of what you said akin to "underestimating" Thanos?
I mean, really? I'll give Thanos a boon and assume that he's > Reed when pitted in the same arc/story as he is (even though I don't really believe that). How does that equate to Thanos being > an entire Council of Reeds?
All feats and accomplishments set out on the table, Reed (and Doom) stack up to Thanos. I don't know how that can even be disputed, really.

I wasn't talking about the entire council. Some people were using Thanos and Reed individually and honestly, I think Thanos is right up there with Reed, especially if he was given as much time as Reed gets when he is prepping.
The council...I fully agree with you.

With all the multiple CCs, IGs, UNs etc. this would be crazy. Thanos would have to create a multiversal council of Thanos' to even stand a chance, then the cosmics, Roma, LT would be getting in trying to stop it, they would probably run into the Council of Cross-Time Kangs, and the whole thing would just get completely insane. By then even the OP wouldn't be able to stop them escalating and going after stuff like the HOTI. The multi-Reed-Thanos-Kang brawl would be too big for even the multiverse to contain, and it would end up crashing through into the DC universe like that scene at the end of Blazing Saddles.
The entire Mega-Omni-Multiverse is destroyed.

Yep. The Concil is stacked beyond ridicule.
I usually put Thanos at the top of the food chain, but even if he's smarter that Reed, he has too much to overcome here.
When claiming who is smarter between Reed and Thanos, I would say that it depends on the subject. Thanos is likely Reeds superior when it comes to cloning tech, and bionic enhancements, but Reed has his specialties as well.
