I mean, Thanos isn't even that tough. Most of the people fighting him were just human+ power level (notice how they specifically de-powered the Hulk for that fight?). A lot of characters could take him relatively easily.
Somebody mentioned Kerrigan. Yup. Zeratul would 'Nothing Personnel, Kid' the purple guy. Talandar (formerly Fenix) could fuck him up in a straight fight - the dude has died twice, he ain’t afraid of shit. All of the Zerg charcters, probably.
The Doomslayer, obv.
An entire collection of characters from Diablo. Good old Tyrael would bust him open, but any of the angel or demon characters could do that.
Kinda want to put him in a room with Jack of Blades. Nothing kills a supervillan like another supervillan.
I'ma show my age and say 90s Duke Nukem. Thanos wouldn't stand a chance against bad 80s action-movie parody camp.
Speaking of those Blizz characters, a number of Warcraft villains could easily take on Thanos too: Archimonde, Sargeras, Deathwing, Lich King.
Until it is done
I think the idea with Thanos vs Hulk is that their strength gap wasn't as far apart (presumably Hulk is stronger) but Thanos was using actual fighting and boxing techniques, whereas hulk usually just smashes. Like how a skinny martial artist can take on someone much stronger than them, technique makes a huge difference.
That said I felt really robbed we never got a BannerHulk rematch with Thanos. Him being intelligent would've let him actually train his technique over the timeskip and complete the character arc.
