Just because Thanos isn't Odin or Zeus level that doesn't make him not in the Skyfather range of power. Hell, Odin is outright the most powerful one and that doesn't make him above the range. The only real reason Zeus is above Thanos is because he was stated to be equal to Odin for that matter. Though Zeus does have impressive things going for him.
The only real being from a Pantheon with feats above Thanos besides Odin is Ibis/Thoth. Including Death Gods, Seth is always amped against Odin and Odin always weakened, and even then Seth does... not very good (though the galaxy busting is a thing), hell, Seth does worse than Thanos did. Mephisto is probably the next guy with feats above Thanos, but Mephisto has been portrayed as something entirely beatable by Thanos. Pluto would get raped, Hela would get raped.
And so on like that. If you take Skyfather to mean "Odin/Zeus level" then no, Thanos isn't one. If you take Skyfather like you do for heralds (Nova to Surfer), then Thanos is mid-ish.

1) No.
2) He doesn't rank.I'm basing this mainly on Odin & Zeus too but that's only fair because we see very little of the other skyfathers. But if they are close to Odin & Zeus they are above Thanos. Yes, it's quite possible he's close to some of the weaker pantheons but we just don't know so I'm not giving it to him by speculation.
And not only is Thanos less powerful in a straight up fight but he lacks other wide ranging abilities that IMO come with being a Skyfather - things like matter transmutation, time warping, limited reality warping, prophecy etc. We've seen Odin stop, time, put the entire population of earth into stasis, and move them to another dimension, and various other things that are just far beyond Thanos's capabilities. That stuff comes with the position - there is more to being a skyfather than just being a physically powerful thug.
That's why people generally have him in a trans category, he's certainly at a high level but just not quite that high.
This is a really good post. Thanos is awesome, but he is not a Skyfather. We just don't know enough about the other Pantheons out there. I don't even think Thanos could beat the Dark Gods.

Thanos has been affected 100% of the time by Herald blunt force. He has too many showings that contradict him being Skyfather. He's definitely trans though.
And most skyfathers are nearly equals in power by implication and portrayals.
Zeus has also been affected by heralds many times with their blunt force and strengh....

A young Thanos blasted a hole through Mistress Death who's abstract, going by your previous post to Bran that makes Thanos abstract lvl!

I know right? Smoking that super cosmic chronic gets him super high, and skyfathers don't mess around with that stuff, so yeah, he is higher then a skyfather. That is what you meant, right?
I also despite drugs.

So where did Thanos destroy galaxies as a side effect of his fight?
Also, why didn't Thanos make his good eye pop out when they fought? Why did Odin not even have to go all out in order to defeat him?
