What is this mysterious 'upgrade' people are referring to? Is this an actual upgrade or a presumed upgrade?
Ah but Xavier was able to get the Big G's attention, and quite easily in X-Men 94 (or 93) when they met on the Skrull Throneworld. Getting someone's attention doesn't amount to much of a feat. And why is Thanos getting credit for TP skills? Moondragon's the one that did part of the work. The only times I've seen him use TP is when he's using someone as the link, (Moondragon in the above story, and Xavier in 'Infinity Crusade'.
As far as Odin goes...I'd like to think that Thanos would have a bit of a chance...but not much.
Galactus: "very impressive, Titan. "
"never before I had to so exert myself in order to pierce a mere forcefield."
"Admirable technology. But a second blast will "
the first sentence clearly states that he pierced the forcefield.
He did not say I cannot pierce the field. he said he exerted himself in order to pierce the forcefield.
Second. the Images clearly shows that the field is pierced and Thano clearly sustained damage and is on his knees..literally smoking and on fire. How on earth can you take from that the forcefield held up? If Thanos is on fire from the attack, it is clearly obvious that the forcefield did not hold up.
The second sentence was to state that since the force field has been pierced, a seconc blast will dispose of Thanos.
Please, do read it again.

After "the end" he gave himself a power boost in case some old enemies decided to take a shot at him. It was a actual upgrade.
And in regards to archmageKeenan, did I ever SAY Galactus was unable to get through Thanos's shield? No, stop putting words in my mouth. I said he had trouble doing so. As you even admitted, Galactus had to exert himself to penetrate the shield.
Okay, so people are saying Odin will win easily. He won't. He may even lose.
Since the Odin fight (where Odin had trouble with Thanos), Thanos has assimilated Morg's power (and gave Tyrant a fight... Tyrant>Odin), and has gained another upgrade that has allowed him to take on a cube being, one of the strongest Heralds effortlessly, and Galactus himself. He is cleary far, far stronger then he was when he fought Odin (2x? 3x?) so saying Odin wins easily is pure insanity.
Gender: Male Location: somewhere within time & space
I agree with this, except for the Cube being feat,
let's be fair,
the Maker was vulnerable in mortal form,
and incapable of harnessing it's true power,
in fact, this is why Thanos didn't dare kill the Maker, lest Beyonder pops out,
and Thanos acknowledged all of this.
One of his past upgrades was when he had to ASK Death to upgrade him, he requested to be upgraded 10 times more powerful than he was.
If he was the one giving himself the upgrade then...

I said that if in the past he had to request an upgrade from death. He requested to be 10X more powerful. Had he asked for 100X more powerful he would more than likely be rejected of that request by death.
So my point was that if he was giving himself an upgrade it would probably be more than 10X more powerful since he was in control of how much more powerful the boost was.
Odin did not have any trouble handling Thanos...in fact it was the other way around. Thanos a LOT of trouble keeping up with Odin. Odin was unaffected by everything he threw at him...when it was all said and done, Thanos could barely stand, while Odin was mocking him.
I don't know how much truth there is in your upgrade theory...I'd have to re-read those issues, but I don't think it would help him that much against Odin.
Thanos could probably win 2.5-3/10 times max, using other factors (cunning and prep)...and that's being generous.
This really isn't an argument. Odin easily. Based off what? The fact that he knocks planets over like ant hills, reignites suns, is capable of effecting the fabric of the multi-verse, destroy and recreate galaxies etc.
No remember he had the Orb made of Morg's energy, and later assimilated it. Morg's powers were restored but a good deal of his energy was already in the orb.
But now he sends Galactus FLYING. Do you understand just how much he's been upgraded? Inhuman gave a good argument for him being at least 10x his previous power, SND he's absorbed Morg's power since then.
