If that was true why nit just post the question in the Thanos superman thread other than creating your own. Both serve the same purpose. U are asking only for details here which u could have asked over there.
Btw Thanos wins. Why. Because he does. He's like Samuel L Jackson. And superman is just another snake on his plane.
Faster? Relative. Thanos keeps up with. Fights high heralds all the time. You state speed is not one of his abilities but marvel says he tags speedsters.
Strength. Relative. U want strength feats but he isn't really a hero. He doesn't stand there trying to hold a planet together or lift buildings. Nope he just kos people that can do those feats in a few hits at most... Something other high heralds have a difficult time doing.
Energy output? The guy has feats showing him hanging with skyfathers and abstracts. But again even someone like surfer a superman level hero wouldn't try to take Thanos solo.
His opponents busts galaxies like tyrant, Odin, the rot, Inbetweener...
He gets teams of people at his level to take on the mad Titan.
Anyways if u really wanted to see people opinions on WHY, I'd suggest the thread by darkone. People do post their reasons in their. You just don't want to thumb through and read it cause it's so many pages. And are creating a summarized version for yourself. Thread already exists. Your reason for a more "detailed" thread isn't any different in basis.

Why is THanos superior? I kinda thought this thread was a joke at first... let I realized it was made by a joke of a poster who hates Thanos. Anyways, the answer to the question is very easy... Thanos is SUPERIOR to Superman in virtually every area. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
So ? That doesn't mean a thing. Thanos doesn't have no real strength feats, just learn to live with it.
Characters he never defeats under his own power...

Re: Once Again: What Makes Thanos Superior to Superman?
It's just my opinion, so bear with me.
Stronger? Superman is stronger IMO, but Thanos has the same striking strength, maybe even greater, he can charge his fists after all.
Powerset, hmm it's kinda hard to decide, as Superman might develope a new power like t-vo every week, but with his tech, Thanos has a greater "powerset".
Speed. Superman.
Intelligence. I think that Superman is more intelligent, like book smart or what his brain is capable of achieving but Thanos is more cunning, by far. Which gives him the edge.
Durability. Both seem like equals, when you look at their high end feats. The problem is, Superman has more low showings (maybe because he appears more often in comics) so i would give this one to Thanos.
Blasts... Hmm, HV is nice and all, quite powerful, but I think that Thanos takes this one as well.
All in all I don't think that Thanos would win against Superman as easy as some people think. On the contrary. In a comic he would lose probably like Darkseid does, IF Superman would be the only one who has to fight him, and he would win if Superman would fight him with a team like the JLA.
Without CIS and PIS and most important prep, I would give it to Superman though in a 1 on 1.

What on God's Green earth are people basing Superman being more intelligent than Thanos on. Thanos ROUTINELY is compared to the greatest minds in Marvel, has tech said to be greater than on of marvels top minds (from Doom himself) and he has countless more feats than superman proving his superiority. So where on earth are you getting that Superman in more "book smart" Thanos is far far older than Superman and comes from a civilization far superior than Superman. I honeslty just don't get how superman is more "book smart" or intelligent period.
^ Yea kinda what I'm thinking. Its kinda like people might be smoking copious amount of crack. Seems to me the only thing you could argue is that Superman is faster.

Well apparently hes more powerful and more intelligent. I dunno people seem to be losing the ability to use common sense. Thor once cracked Celestial armour, Thor > Thanos.

That may have been the case way back when but like all things in life they change. Darkseid has been all over the map in the past 15 years.
Thanos is always ahead of Superman peers such as Thor/Silver Surfer.
It's not even close while Superman barely edged out Thor. Superman's peers he also can't dominate namely Marvel,Adam, Orion, etc. These are guys Thanos would eat for breakfast based on his entire history.
Anyway you look at it Darkseid isn't Thanos so trying to make a false parallel between the two won't get you anywhere.
He'd blow Clark out of the water. Thanos' intelligence is leaps and bounds above Superman's. You really don't read many comics at all. You do this from thread to thread make generalizations you can't even begin to back up.
Feats have always been a terrible way to form an argument. They help don't get me wrong but many posters try to use feats to ignore how the character is usually portrayed. Now if someone wants to feat it up I can take them on anyway they want.
He's portrayed as vastly more powerful than Superman is on average or at his best. He's also smarter in combat than Superman is, more durable, and has shielding to negate Superman's said speed advantage.

I actually agree with quan here. I posted before if you want to feat war with superman there aren't many characters that come anywhere close to big blue at his most impressive unaided by amps or PIS events. Hell if we were to take the top 5 percent of Superman feats unaided by any amp sans sundip as that is a biological function he has then he comes to if not outright surpasses skyfather level. Considering the top 5 percent of supermans feats written out could be 20 or 30 years of character history for some other character written only in peak form given the volume of material. Not necessarily in regards to Thanos intelligence I'd actually put them at a closer level with Thanos taking a comfortable lead but not to the point Quan is going. Some of supermans pseudoscience feats of on the fly thinking are actually rather impressive despite the fact that they have no basis in fact and some of his inventions are up there even excluding wish machine schematics in his head. That alone is probably a doozy even to remember.
