Wow. I think this is the first match I've seen where I'd call a loss for SG. Thanos is one of the few who could use the Power Gem to its full potential. Anything less than that and Shuma-Gorath would win.

Thanos is perhaps the most balance character in Comics, then you give him literally unlimited power. Not that "unlimited" power crap that Apocalypse and the Fallen One and so many others have, but actual unlimited amounts of power.
He already has the Greatest mind and accomplished more than any other character has, now you see fit to give potentially the only person who can properly wield the Gems, the one granting him Unlimited power.
Thanos beats 99% of Marvel when in possession of the Power Gem. Thanos 9.9/10
PS-If w/in Shuma's own dimension where he is omipotent then things might be a little bit different.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't Shuma just magic it away? The gem's true potential is giving out unlimited energy for the other 5, not working on it's own.

True, but Thanos has shown himself to be competant enough to use an individual Gem at very high levels, as when he used the Reality Gem (by itself) to ressurect Mar-Vell for a bit.

I don't think he has any real feats w/ the power gem however he did successful harness the power of the most difficult and powerful gem (reality gem) which would imply that his knowledge of the Gems is Unparalleled.
Thanos would give SG a hard time by his lonesome. but if you add in unlimited strength and power (think about it, unlimited power and strength) then it's a wrap for the demon .

Anywho,
I only asked becuase Strange got completely owned by the Power Gem alone.
In fact, Strange had ample Prep,
he even gathered All of his artifacts/talismans and combined them to use a one,
Power Gem/Warlock still stomped him and nearly annihilated Strange,
luckily at the last moment,
Strange was able to commune with Warlock via telepathy
(a quick vision of the immediate future)
Warlock felt bad and spared Strange.

that was the power gem being used with the other gems. Yes, it may have been the power of the single gem alone, but with the others around it, the power and abilities of them can be better controlled. As you yourself pointed out, you need the other 5 to make any reality change permanent, and to control the soul gem, etc.
The way Strange beat Shuma is weird. The only person I know who can really explain it is Long Pig.
