I'm just too damn lazy to load up all my scans.
So here is a folder with a few of them.

They cover the downside and limitation of his luck as well.

It would be the an entire tier as per the tierings here at KMC...And while true there maybe some hax characters that potentially could bring down Thanos in these senario's, will they be able to with no prep against a Thanos with full access to his tech?
Also, Thanos has some of the best damage soak in comics for characters that are sub Odin level; he's resisted reality warp, he's withstood direct attacks from High Skyfathers and Cube Beings, he's got tremendous strength of will...
Inaddition (especially among the less tiers) he'd be wiping out characters like a white hot knife against butter...
Those he cant one shot he can bring down with mind rape or even turn certain characters against their comrads...
Now, I'm not saying that one of the lesser teirs cant beat him, but I'm going to have to hear a pretty convincing argument to be swayed in that direction...
There is also the fact that there are many within tiers that simply don't belong in the tier they are in. Longshot would be an example for me as without his luck and just his mutant altered muscular density and hollow bones (making him incredibly agile and fast) he would be low meta but his Luck IMO makes him mid.
In the Mid meta tier we have Blue Devil who has casually defeated hell Lords, matched Etrigan, beaten GL's. Yes at his original levels without his trident absolutely mid Meta level. But he's had three Upgrades since then and his trident is a Hax device that even Etrigan states with it he could take over hell. The Trident allowed him to defeat Nebrios who Zatanna even stated (in that Battle) was well beyond her power. Now there is of course context to that, Nebrios was free and a gateway to his dimension was open and that is the Dimension that powers BD's trident. So that was pretty much the trident at it's peak. Having said that while possessed BD used the trident to casually warp time around John Stewart so that his ring ran out of power in seconds despite being just recharged.

There are others like booster Gold who's force field has allowed him to go toe to toe with Doomsday Clones
http://s1232.photobucket.com/user/beatboks01/library/Booster%20Gold?sort=3&page=1
First 8 pages are of a Booster Doomsday clone fight that lasted two issues.
Mid meta is where I would say it get's hard for Thanos, this is why.
Booster puts up a force field around all the hid metas so that Thanos's attacks harm no one. BD warps time around Thanos so that he is slow as mud compared to all of them. Ragman absorbs the corrupted soul energy of two Ghost riders AND BD ( making his rags powered by three high level demons). Rogue touches Thanos and takes on all his power. Cyborg controls all Thanos' tech and technomorphs it into himself, so that it works for the mid metas against him. Dr Occult (who would be in this Tier) uses his disk to focus all the power of the Ghost riders and BD inot an attack (just as in Day of Judgement he absorbed all the pwoer of Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, Ragman and all the the sentinels of magic and gave it to hall Jordan's spirit so it could fight Spectre or when he focused the power of many mystics against the demons three. Black Knight would absorb with the ebony blade the energies of Thanos' first salvo to throw back at him.
Essentially shortly into the battle Thanos will be facing his own powers (a few times over), his own tech, combined with attacks that can match the best he has faced.

Excellent, excellent, post! 👆
This is exactly the sort of argument for a given tier I was looking for...
You make a strong argument for the Mid Meta's, however, what you describe resembles a coordinated attack/plan of action...
Do they really have enough time to organize and implement the plan you have suggested (and I must admit, it certainly sounds like a potential winner) without prep?
What defense do they have against him shutting down their minds psionically?

All that is needed is basic knowledge which I thought was a form standard.
With basic knowledge booster would know that his force field is the only thing that can withstand an opening Salvo from Thanos'. This makes it reasonable for him to extend his shield as he has done before. The shiekd gives the rest of the mid metas time to coordinate a counter.
Is it a clean sweep? NO.
Would what I suggest just happen out of the gate? NO
Would it be possible if there wasnt one mid meta who could defend all? NO
This is why I say its the level he "Starts" to have problems. Not a solid majority against him but enough possibilies to make it a split certainly.
If he passes mid meta he wont get much further as the options expand.

I can agree with this...

You know, oddly enough, Dracula isnt featured in the tierings...I would rank near him at the top of High Meta or near the bottom of Low Herald...but that's just me.
