with all respect if you knew Marvel like you claimed you'd understand Thanos is actually a living sponge of sorts for cosmic energy.. he obtains omnipotence via artefacts rather than his own physiology (without artefacts he's around Hulk / major Avenger villain level power level).

Thanos never has power as immense as Mad Jaspers because it'd be very boring if he did as unlike Jaspers Thanos would be more than strong enough to keep his sanity and would be completely invincible.

Jaspers is stronger than Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet as Infinity Gauntlet controls a single universe.. however Jaspers is below Beyonder and below HoU Thanos.. HoU Thanos was Omniversal.. Beyonder (pre-retcon) was also Omniversal.

so here's how it tends to work:

Universal = able to control / alter universe-wide phenomena (Infinity Gauntlet Thanos)

Multiversal = able to control / alter multiple universes ("weak" Jaspers (1st) )

Omniversal = able to control / alter ALL universes ("strong" Jaspers (2nd), Beyonder (pre-retcon) and HoU Thanos)

HoU Thanos and Beyonder (pre-retcon) are what I call Strong Omniversal while 2nd Jaspers was a Weak Omniversal.. Strong Omniversals are "Completely Omnipotent" while Weak Omniversal have some limits..

so in short.. regular Thanos is not even Universal (without artefacts) and the weakest Jaspers was Multiversal.. sorry Thanos fans but they are not in the same league.. Thanos' greatest power is his ability to obtain artefacts, not his natural power.
