Yeah, I want to know how as well; Proteus can make himself invulnerable to anything Thanos could throw at him...
Maybe Thanos has a chance if he goes the psychic route (and Thanos is not certain to win in this fashion), but beyond that, I cant imagine what Thanos could do to a PIS'less Proteus...

Proteus beat off an attempted mind rape from Phoenix when she was undergoing the transformation into Dark Phoenix...So given that, what makes you think that Thanos's mind rape attempt is garanteed to work? Just because he's Thanos?
LoL...
When was this? I hope it's not from Proteus' first appearance in the 70s because Jean had self imposed psionic circuit breakers in place after the M'krann Crystal incident.
Thanos beats Proteus.

Excellent, but you only remembering part of it; those psionic breakers were weakening as the Phoenix Force was strengthening...
The X-men started to notice that she was stronger than normal in the issues leading up to (and including) Proteus's 1st appearance; by the time of Proteus's 1st appearance she was far beyond her Marvel Girl power levels and was doing things with ease that was once a struggle for her (Classic Xmen page 33, page 14, panel 1...for example).
Do you remember that Proteus was strong enough to make himself invisible to Jeans power while she was in this "ever-increasingly-powerful" state? Again, this info can be found in Classic Xmen 33, page 9, panel 5.
Proteus was a beast as pertains his psychic defenses...
No way does Thanos beat him in this fashion with absolutely certainty; given what the Phoenix Force represents, I believe Proteus beating off a psychic attack from it means that the odds would be against Thanos defeating Proteus in this fashion...
Unless you want to try and argue that Thanos has greater psionic ability than a Phoenix undergoing the transformation into Dark Phoenix does...

Thanos does what Thanos does best. Having the edge in Vast knowledge in science and magic of the cosmos. Thanos summons the IG and turns Proteus into a fruit cake.
None of his knowledge would help him in a forum fight against Proteus and there is no IG waiting to bail him out of trouble...
Thanos gets outclassed by a superior opponent 10/10 in this senario...
First we do not know what Thanos is capable of because we do not know what type of Thanos are we using here. Once Thanos knows Proteus is allergic to metal, Thanos will exploit that to his advantage. If Magneto can put a hurt on Proteus by manipulating his electrons , I have no doubt Thanos can whip up some magic to affect him. Thanos win via Prep god ability.

The OP didnt state that there was prep available to either side; its a fallacy on your part to assume otherwise...
Sans prep, Proteus dominates Thanos; there is nothing Thanos can do to a non-jobbing PIS'ess Proteus...

Proteus was at half power and was split into two when he fought Magneto. Magneto wasn't fighting the full fledged Proteus.
