Thanos would beat the hell out of Cain, He has superior strength, TP, better fighting skills, and generally too durable for Cain to actually hurt with the strength that he has. I base this on Thanos' durability feats, and his ability to withstand Tyrant's strength for as long as he did, which is far above Cain's strength class. Not to mention that Cain's mind would be taken over long before he mounted any kind of offense.

Without his shields, Juggernaut was getting the crap beat out of him by Thor with just his fists.
Without his shields, Thanos no-sold two lightning strikes, tanked a charged hammer to the head, and nearly knocked Thor's head off with a punch, and was overpowering Thor just by powering up.
Thanos doesn't have a single durability feat that shows he can't be hurt by high herald level physical force. Every showing Thanos has shows him being hurt by physical force a a herald level being.
With that said, I see Thanos winning via bfr or some exotic means. Through direct physical combat Thanos would get trashed.
you are using the classic lowball highball routine. Using Juggs low showings against Thanos high ones.
First, The hammer strike affected Thanos. Just because it didn't knock him out doesn't mean Juggs can't.
Second, Lightning (energy projection) is irrelevant since Thanos has always been affected by herald level physical force.
Third, Juggs durability is not always tied to a force field. Some writers wrote Juggs without one. That means you just can't use 1 specific instance (a low one) over other instances.
No he isn't he's just citing the time that Cain did not have any shields, and was beaten down. The stips of this thread prohibits shields.
Evidence points to him actually having the durability to tank more than high Herald hits though. I mean what happened when he actually took hits from Thor in possession of the Power Gem? Thor actually planted one right on his face, which only made Thanos' nose bleed. I also noticed that this isn't limited to a fist fight.
Juggs has been written without shields numerous times by various writers. Only some writers wrote the source of Juggs durability been his force field.
So he used only 1 instance (a low one). Other instances have Juggs tanking shit without a force field.
PG Thor hurt Thanos and wasn't even more than twice as strong as his normal self. IMO Juggs is stronger than Thor. Thor is just faster and can fight better.
that 1 instance doesn't define Juggs. there are other instances where he was just as durable with shields than without by implication (when he wasn't written with shields).
There are at least two versions of Juggs without a force field.
Anyway Thanos wins by exotic means. A physical fight would favor Cain.
