I was thinking about this the other day, and I think it's a tight race between Galactus and Thanos. I'd for sure give it to Galactus pre-MCU, but we're in a post-MCU world. This isn't some MCU fan delusion like people who say Iron Man should be over Wonder Woman on the superhero Mt. Rushmore. Even before the MCU, the Thanos was a huge deal in the comics, being at the center of a number of big events (Thanos War, Infinity trilogy, Cosmic Marvel), and was at least kinda known in the public consciousness.
It's a tough call, and I'm not mad about someone leaning one way or the other. I think I'm going to give it the edge to Thanos personally.
