@son_of_tomorrow: Well that was a Priest of Pama. Same priesthood who taught Mantis and Moondragon martial arts and mental disciplines to hone their Telepathy and psychic powers. Not very durable folk. Just strong mental disciplines that each priest has been practicing and readying with for centuries.
Thanos isn't exactly a novice TP. And he killed the guy in that instant too. Then fueled himself on raw madness to rip a hole in reality and enter the Realm of All Gods. Just so he could talk smack to Eternity and Death.
Basically, Luke and the entirety of SW is utterly screwed next to Thanos. Adam Warlock is terrified of even attempting to take the Mad Titan's soul when he had the Soul Gem, because he was certain it'd drive him completely insane and destroy him. Taking Warrior's soul (a Thanosi clone), almost did had it not been for Thanos and Thanos alluding that his own thoughts are far, far darker than that of any of his creations. And he was damn right.
But let's put it this way. Thanos can actually handle Omnipotence. Warlock couldn't keep his own crap in check. And Luke's not exactly omniscient. Thanos can stare into the Infinity Well for hours, which possesses all the infinite knowledge and secrets of the universe. The majority of others who've looked into it, either went immediately insane or were killed as a side-effect. Thanos is completely unaffected by it.
In terms of mental strength, Thanos puts the entire Jedi Order to utter shame. Luke included.
