However, it was stated a few times throughout the various IG arcs that different beings adapt to the omnipotence of the collective gems, differently-- even for a being such as Magus, it took a considerable amount of time to acclimate himself with said power(hell, he didn't even know the reality gem was missing until Warlock TOLD him so.) And again, that was Magus-- you think idiots like Nebula or The Hood approached even his level of 'adeptivity' with the IG? No way. Point being: all IG users are not equal... Initially, at least.
That's an invalid comparison since the Soul gems aren't affected by those attributes. Nebula was a barely-conscious corpse before she got her hands on the gauntlet.Superman can make use of his powers better than his Kryptonian brethren because there's a way to make better use them. The same doesn't hold for the god-like powers provided by the gems. There's no way to concentrate or optimize the influence of the gauntlet because its influence is absolute, ignoring the top tiers like the Living Trigunal.
That said, because Warlock held the gauntlet for much longer than Thanos, he *should* be more accustomed with its powers, which *should* give him an ever-so-slight advantage.

Well Thanos did imprison the abstracts.
Thanos wasn't able to appear for cosmic court in order for LT to make a decision due to plot but safe to say it would've led to that eventually.
Originally posted by pym-ftwThanos is better than Warlock. Thanos is more successful than Warlock. Warlock has needed Thanos to help him not become the Magus for crying out loud. If you don't have self control you aren't that wise, amigo.
The fact he holds council with eternity and infinityI guess smarter is the wrong word, wiser would be a more correct
Originally posted by CogitoAll he did was bfr the abstracts not that impressive really, Thanos actually fought and defeated all the abstracts at once.

I see it as a stalemate, but Thanos has more and better feats.
