Thanos is at the top of a pyramid fighting swarms of Xenos that are climbing up to kill him. I'm guesstimating there are 16,000 aliens, but this is not 100% verified. You can use your own estimate based on this scene from Alien vs. Predator if you want.
Round 1: Thanos fights the Xenos hand to hand.
Round 2: Thanos fights the Xenos with his double-edged sword.
Round 3: Thanos fights the Xenos with the Infinity Gauntlet holding the power stone.
Could alien acid actually burn Thanos? Seems unlikely to me but other than that its just a case of him having to mow down 16000 fodder
Yes, even the weakest interpretation of the alien blood melts through Titatanium in seconds which is thousands of times more powerful than normal acid.
Thanos has 0 acid durability feats which is based on chemical resistance not blunt trauma or energy resistance.
He isn't wearing titanium. He is wearing and wielding Uru.
And Uru is acid proof because?
Titanium IRL is actually one of the materials with acid resistant properties and not because its strong but because of properties such as being non reactive.
@the_institution: Could this be an acid durability feat for Thanos? The tesseract seems be corrosive against other materials like an acid. Thanos was able to hold it in his hand without problems.
@the_institution: I'm not sure about that. When the cube went through the first layer, it left behind some blue substance that's continuing to eat through the first layer of the floor. Its as if a chemical reaction with the tesseract and the metal is happened when they came in contact. If it was some energy related thing, I would think the metal would heat up, turn red and melt, but it looks like its getting broken down.
@juicers: Yeah, could be or the tesseract changes its behavior at different points. Sometimes it eats through an airplane and sometimes it teleports you to Vormir. Its difficult to say.

It isn't a blue substance that's just the poor image quality of the gif.
If you look at it frame for frame in HD you can see it leaves orange glow marks not blue
It's just an energy/cosmic hax resistance feat, nothing corrosive about it, this is what it would look like if it was acid
there wouldn't be any glowing residue just a bunch of bubbling.
@takenstew22: Still, killing each with one shot adds up. Killing 1000 aliens could mean 1000 punches or kicks need to be thrown.
There's no way to no the upper limits of his stamina but I doubt 1,000 punches and kicks would be the limit. That is a good question though. 1000 aliens, he clears all.
For 16,000:
R1 he probably gets overrun and they put face-huggers on him
@the_institution: I doubt acid can harm Thanos at all, DR strange saw evrey possible outcome and in every, one expects one they lost, everything they tried did not work, if it was as simple as throwing Acid strange would just teleport it from the earth and throw it on Thanos, but that clearly did not work, hell acid cannot damage the diamond:
"acids cannot dissolve diamonds, for the simple reason that a diamonds carbon atoms are too tightly packed together for the Hydrogen ions to be able to dissolve the substance" And Thanos is like millions of times more durable than daimond, his molecular and atom bonds are millions of times stronger than in daimond
People are severely underestimating what a 16000 to 1 advantage looks like.
The xenomorphs can't harm Thanos physically, but a tiny bit of acid blood literally dripped through several layers of a thick metal of a spaceship. If 16000 of these things zerg rush him and he starts beating/slicing them, he is gonna be covered head to toe in no time.
There is no indication his armor or skin has any special resistance to acid. Hell, predators, who specifically hunt aliens and have their gear outfitted for that, have had their armor damaged by it. And they never got the blood of dozens at once it.
If Thanos plays it smart and uses the power stone to keep them off him, he could clear that round. He isn't beating that many in h2h/with a sword though.
Thanos has taken repulser blasts from Tony, fiery missile explosions and such, lightning blasts from Thor and Cap and Marvel’s energy bursts. Not that they’re acid, but to assume their blood penetrates his skin when freaking lightning itself didn’t phase him much, I don’t know. I don’t think the Xeno’s have the damage output to do anything to Thanos. It’ll just take a while.

If you think Thanos' durability is anyway comparable to that of the Nostromo, then you clearly haven't seen IW or EG.
I'd like to see the Nostromo tank lightning blasts, hits from Mjolnir, missiles, having skyscraper sized structures dropped on it, or being crashed into by a Necrocraft.

You're forgetting that Thanos can use his sword as a ranged weapon as well. He can throw it in arcs like a boomerang:
That way he can stop the Xenos from dogpiling him and thereby prevent himself from being covered in too much acid.
It's also worth remembering that cutting a Xeno's head off doesn't automatically mean that you'll get covered in acid blood. After all, one of the Yautja's in AvP was able to decap a Xeno at close-range without getting any blood on it at all:

Can Predator armour tank hits from Mjolnir or Stormbreaker though?
Fact is, Thanos is on a completely different level to Yautjas in every respect. Comparing him to them is absolutely ridiculous.
16000 of anything is a lot and I tend to thing that the tesseract feat was more energy than an acid corrosivity feat. The aliens aren't stupid I think if they sprayed acid on his armor or skin it does something. So I'm going with the aliens in the all rounds.
@scipio123: Just because predator armor can't tank Mjolnir or Stormbreaker, doesn't mean Thanos armor can resist acid. Polyethylene, a plastic can't be dissolved by hydrofluoric acid and yet hydrofluoric acid can dissolve metal. Metal obviously has a greater resistance to blunt force trauma than plastic, but acids work at the chemical level.
