Vs.
Thanos (current) (please log in to view the image)
Scenario 1 - Both SBP and Thanos have 1 day of prep, do not neglect that SBP is on level with silverage/pc superman in not only power, strength, speed, durability, versatility, but also in intellect, intelligence and brilliance (I.E. designing and constructing the Anti-Monitor like suit from scratch on an alien world.)
"Despite his growing insanity, Superboy-Prime has exhibited the same Kryptonian super-intelligence shared by the pre-Crisis Earth-One and Earth-Two Supermen by designing his power suit. The armor is patterned after the Anti-Monitor's armor; it collects and feeds him yellow solar energy. How he retained his Pre-Crisis power levels and abilities where as Superman-1 and Superman-2 got depowered is currently unknown." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superboy_Prime
Scenario 2 - Random Encounter, fight to the death.

Scenario 1: Superboy prime is Staggeringly intelligent but has almost ZERO experience and little in the way of self control. He's powerful, sure..but not substantially more so than a herald.
In contrast, Thanos is equally intelligent, several thousand years old, and a master strategist. He's strong enough to deal with the likes of the Champion, Thor, Immortal Hercules, and the Hulk, sometimes SIMULTANEOUSLY. He's fast enough that the surfer, one of marvel's fastest beings can't speedblitz him. Like all eternals, he has total control over his body's molecular structure and nothing short of molecular dispersion can do any permanent damage. Thanos has taken out beings with FAR greater power with less prep. this is a man who's already destroyed and rebuilt the marvel universe. There's a VERY good chance he already HAS contingency plans to deal with beings on SBP's level.
Scenario 2: Thanos Took out Warrior Madness Thor with the power gem, with no prep at all, THEN went several rounds with Odin. Odin had to pull out Gungnir and STILL couldnt kill Thanos. Warrior Madness Thor would obliterate superboy Prime, and Odin is freaking ODIN. Thanos has since given himself a power up and he's WAY stronger now. No contest, Thanos wins.

Superboy retcons all this with a punch. Thanos becomes a farmer instead of a would be conqueror.

No. Thanos is cursed by Death to live forever. He would die, but he'd come back again, and possibly stronger. To be honest, with prep, Thanos is gonna take this one. He's possibly the best strategist in the universe. No prep, SBP will take this.
There is no guarantee that death will keep bringing him back. At some point, death will deem him unworthy.
With prep, either side could win. This will be much easier in a few weeks, when IC#7 is out.

Very true. The whole IC thing has been brought about by naivety. I'm not a DC fan by any means, but IC has been great. Either way, Thanos with prep is taking this.
