Could IG Cap beat IG Thanos? With prep time
Probably not, Thanos is far more intelligent. The scenario is entirely hypothetical so it's hard to come to a clear answer.
But Captain America is an American. Being an American is all about triumph.
Strolling, rolling, bouncing across Europe, people often as me what it means to be an American. I tell them triumph. Triumph. Triumph when we nuke our enemies. Triumph when we peer down from the moon and laugh heartily at Russia. Triumph when we dispose of one dictator after another. Triumph when we break into the homes of terrorist kingpins on the other side of the earth and shoot them in the face. Triumph when we use flying robots to bomb other terrorists in Afghanistan, and other nuclear robots to explore Mars. Triumph when we free Europe from Nazis. Triumph. Triumph. Triumph.
But it's not just the big things, see? It's the way I can set up lawn chairs at my friends house in Texas on the Rio Grande and watch Mexicans charge into gunfire just to enter my country. It's the way an Italian cabbie sits up straight and floors the gas when he hears my accent. It's seeing the wide eyes and bead of sweat running down the forehead of a German customs agent when he sees my passport. It's the way a French waiter hangs his head when I refuse the wine and ask for a Coke instead, in English, knowing full well he understands me.
The way an Aussie blushes and leans in to the urinal next to me in the bathroom, or the scowl that meets my smirk when I tip an English waiter in US dollars covered in Washington's face. The way small mobs of Canadian school children follow me from a distance to see what a free man looks like, or how heads timidly rise and women gather when my accent stops the music at clubs in Amsterdam.
Triumph. Every bit of triumph. Thats what it means to be American.
To say that Thanos would beat Captain America on a level playing field, because Thanos is more intelligent, is peeing in the wind, my friend. The Russians thought they were more intelligent, and they probably were. And we defeated them. Intelligence only gets you so far. It takes the desire, the passion, and the triumph that true Americans such as myself and Captain America have deep inside our hearts to truly be successful.
