Superman is stronger than Thanos.
So how in the hell is Superman not beating him?
Superman is resistant to TP assault, not immune.
Superman IS too fast to be hit by much slower enemies. That doesn't mean he won't get hit (he can choose to get hit).
Surfer, in his greatest speed feat, accelerated to light speed within a few meters of travel. So Superman isn't the only one.
Superman is stronger than all heralds, some trans, some skyfathers.
Damage output due to blasts has nothing to do with anything here.
Energy projection against Thanos with shields (or without) has nothing to do with blunt force hits. They are completely different.
1. If Superman is not immune to TP, but only resistant in your own words, this means that his mind can be compromised by a telepath of high standing. Thanos holds this kind of power which was seen several times in comics going all the way back before his first death. To expand on this; Thanos was capable of subduing Galactus once he gained contact with him. This if you did not know is quite a feat. The Hulk is TP resistant, but it did not stop Thanos from instantly taking his mind over.
2. Superman's speed would be useless if his mind was compromised as I mentioned before. As such, Thanos would have all of the time in the world to hit him, and or place him in a containment force cube, which was able to hold Thor with the Power Gem. It was never stated on panel how much stronger the Power Gem made him while he was trapped. You made a false claim, and now believe this lie because you've told yourself that you were right, while you are wrong. You simply have no proof of this number, so as far as we know Thor could have been 10+ times stronger than base.
3. That was not the Surfer's greatest speed feat, his greatest speed feat on panel was him pushing himself so hard that he went back in time.
4. Superman is not greater in strength than all Herald's, and you will never be able to prove this. Hyperion has a greater strength feat than DCnU Superman has to date. He is not trans level, and he certainly isn't as strong as the top Sky Father.
5. Thanos has withstood more than high energy assaults, he took hits from Thor going all out on him, and Thor had the Power Gem. Again, no one believes your wild claims on the number of times stronger Thor was with the Power Gem, because it was never stated on panel just how much stronger the gem made him.
6. It does not matter what you say about this, Thanos is not, and never has been portrayed as a glass cannon. he has actually been portrayed as a well rounded, and very powerful High Trans, low Sky Father character. this is above anything that DCnU Superman can claim. You have only made claims, but have no ability to back them.
