Thanos doesn't scream in pain, ever. He didn't need to fall to the ground. Thanos face suggests he was rocked like hell. Also him catching the hammer supports that.Thor engaged Thanos in the past. Thanos was always affected by Thor. PM Bran, he will give you the scans or issue numbers. One comic is where Thor and Thing fought Thanos.
Tyrant never physically hit Thanos. So why use him? Going by feats, I would say a high end unleashed Superman is stronger than DP Tyrant. That same Superman is also stronger than Odin as well. Magus didn't use his full power on Thanos. He wanted Thanos to admit something.
Superman is weak to magic. Taking that weakness away, yes I see a high end Superman tanking Thor's hammer blow.
We go by feats. Superman's top feats of strength are sufficient in achieving anything that Thanos has done strength wise.
Or he isn't a meat head, and he had better things to do other than eat hammer all day long. And yes reeling from a blow, screaming out in pain, and or being tossed about is a clear sign that a character was in your word being "phucked up". So yeah you're wrong, and you did not provide proof. The idea that Thanos took the hits that he did against an opponent (Thor) who knows full well how powerful he is, shows that Thor was not holding back (why would he). Superman would have been rocked by the hit. Thanos as you saw was not, unless you are talking about a different comic than I am.
I'm not talking about Thanos of the past, I'm talking current.
Tyrant did hit Thanos, what do you think was happening when they broke through the ground, and Thanos was flung out of it a little later? Do you think he was giving him a BJ down there?
Superman has been rocked by people that weren't magical in nature. Speaking of which Thanos is a metaphysical being, unless you forgot that he was Death's Avatar.
Thanos does not get into power lifting contests, but this did not stop him from slapping Thor aside with minimal effort.
There is no comic book reality in which a regular, un-amplified Superman would defeat Thanos under a yellow sun. Get used to it. Thanos is meant by plot to be the breaker of guys on Superman's level. In a real all out fight with both using all of their powers, Superman would not even hit Thanos if he did not want to be hit, and this is without tech.
Thanos has very powerful Psychic/psionic powers that would nullify any speed advantage that Superman possesses. Max Lord was capable of taking over his brain, and you really can't compare a guy capable of playing mind games with Galactus to a guy capable of playing them on Superman.
