That is true I "did" think that... Outside of IM's own book, the writers have been doing a bad job with EXTREMIS sometimes he's got it and sometimes he doesn't.
And in THOR's book it seemed as if he didn't because he didn't seem to show any HF what so ever and his speed/reflexes were not what they had been shown to be w/EXTREMIS during his book and W/EXTREMIS he would have known the lightning was coming and shielded himself if nothing else.
So it was IMO PIS... Not that he lost because THOR is a beast...Just in how it went down.
yea, about Champion w/Gem: Thanos never actually FOUGHT him, but hid behind a shield thinking he would tier out and just pluck it offa him......only to get scared when said shield started to crack & Champ showed no signs of tiring out.
Champ stopped said assualt just shy of completely breaking through, and Thanos managed to win by making a deal which he actually kept, but the devil was in the detail.
now as it pertains to *this* fight: PC Mongul is easily in Champ w/Gem's punch class, and his durability was insane; remeber Thor walking thro Supermans HV in JLA/Avengers?? Mongul did it first and all that happened was his clothing melted and Supes got beat da fuc.k up AND knocked out.
Thanos would have to BFR or do some SERIOUS matter-manip on him to win here IMNSHO.
