Darkseid's most powerful avatars are Universal so no, base Thanos is not on par with them

And the HOTU isn't something Thanos carries around. It's INCREDIBLY nonstandard. There's a difference between characters at their best and using gear they don't own. The Infinity Gauntlet gets a pass because it's iconic. And speaking realistically, the IG is 99% likely to be the most he gets.
