That could be true , but I'm referring to over all total popularity not just comic sales. I'm referring to household names. My grandmother has never bought a comic in her life , but she knows who Batman and Spider Man are. I really doubt she would know who Wolverine is.

Sales. just read wizard. it tells you the top comic sales. The xmen and wolverine been kicking superman's asses for years. every now and then supers or bats cracks thier hold, but not for long.
To be honest, characters that are named something-man are easier to recognise and remember than others. Also, it could be argued that spiderman and batman got quite a bit of exposure through cartoons and all, more than the x-men at least. Batman even got that cheesy series in which Robin and him would go around with "pow!" and "biff!". THose were the days.
And those feats don't match up well against Superman's. Hence, Superman should win the fight. Correct?
And I don't see what you're reitterating my comment of ABC logic. I was pointing out many of the debators place Thanos over Supes due to some very poor ABC logic, when the same can be done the other way.
There's nothing that puts Thanos heads and shoulders over Superman in pure power and combat prowess. Supes can on panel match up pretty much every feat Thanos has done under his own power. And then has hundreds on top that Thanos can't match. But you can't convice all the 'Thanos wins, SUPERMAN SUCKS!!!" people of that. And if someone did bother? Well, Superman and DC comics are just too powerful, and suck.

Based on quality or quantity? I concede the quantity portion. Lemme know about the quality part.
I pointed out your comment on ABC logic simply because the flaw in using such logic applies both to the argument of runner > surfer and therefore runner > superman as well as the argument of superman > herald level and therefore > surfer. You can't have one without the other. Superman has A LOT of feats. How often does he turn the wheels of Mageddon? Let's use sports. A basketball player whose career spans twenty years is inevitably going to have games in which he racks up more points than he should. Should that player be judged on those games or on the average of said career over twenty years? If Thanos has half a century as a headliner to accumulate feats, you can then match the two together. Even as it stands, Thanos' highest feats include achieving ultimate power thrice.
As far as DC comics being too powerful, it's a wash in my opinion. I look at evidence, not companies.
Quantity and quality, Superman clearly has the advantage in the feat department entirely. What has he done that Superman hasn't accomplished similarly on an equal or greater level?
I was pointing out the flaw in the logic as well, so to reitterate my point back at me was fairly moot.
I'm also not sure what you're getting at about Thanos' feats involving attaining ultimate type of power, beause that's beyond his personal powerset. In fact, they're not even 'feats' so much as plotlines in that regard.

Maybe you didn’t notice it, but that was the point I was trying to make.
Difference is : you assume Fallen One was going Real Fast, while I don’t know his speed.
No it doesn’t. It only proves you see what you want to see.
There is NO circumstantial evidence, only your imagination : “Gosh, this guy is a herald, so he must be going at least at the speed of light !”.
Like I said a million times before : you just don’t know that. Not in the least.
I'm sorry - not really - but you are wrong. I clearly wrote that we, the readers, don't have a clue about the speed at which Fallen One was attacking Thanos.
See ? Here is my previous post.
So don't twist my words, I said : we don't know his speed. All the rest is up for debate.
Not really. I think you need both, speed and reflexes in order to successfully blitz somebody.
