I think an easy way to look at Thanos stories is that anything written by Jim Starlin, Ron Marz and Keith Giffen is the real Thanos while anything written by other authors should be dismissed as a Thanosi clone.

Savage Hulk fought pre-crisis Superman in an old crossover; it was something of a stalemate. Professor Hulk fought Clark, who barely won, in Marvel vs DC (winner was decided by votes); I don’t think Hulk ever met Doomsday.
In the Justice League/Avengers comic Thor and Clark fought with the latter winning, but by the end he was so exhausted the other Avengers made short work of him. I think Thor beat Doomsday in that crossover.

did anyone read King Thor #4, Aaron's final chapter???

I did. The absolute best I can say is that it’s a mixed bag. There are some cool moments and the overall idea might be interesting in a vacuum, but Aaron’s lack of respect for continuity and his inability to resist sniping at Odin (and religion in general I feel) bring the whole thing down.

When I read something like "the lack of respect for continuity and his inability to resist sniping at religion in general bring the whole thing down" the first person I think of is Jim Starlin, who is the godfather of that particular type of 'approach'. So, forgive me, but I'm somewhat amused by truly cosmic irony of the whole situation...
