Thanos Wins By Donny Cates

Product Information

Some of his evil actions are so insanely petty that they're utterly hilarious, such as the time he went out of his way to torment a random man on each of the man's birthdays. Wishing to impress Mistress Death, Thanos gathers an army of villainous aliens and begins a nuclear bombardment of Titan that kills millions of his race. [17] Seeking universal power in the form of the Cosmic Cube, Thanos travels to Earth. Prior to landing, his vessel destroys a nearby car as a family witnesses his arrival. [18] Unbeknownst to Thanos, two of the family members in the vehicle survive: the father's spirit is preserved by the Titanian cosmic entity Kronos and is given a new form as Drax the Destroyer while the daughter is found by Thanos's father, Mentor, and is raised to become the heroine Moondragon. Thanos eventually locates the Cube, and also attracts the attention of Mistress Death. Willing the Cube to make him omnipotent, Thanos then discards the Cube. He imprisons Kronos and taunts Kree hero Captain Marvel, who, with the aid of superhero team the Avengers and ISAAC (a super-computer based on Titan), is eventually able to defeat Thanos by destroying the Cube. [19] Magneto is a mutant supervillain that was later revealed to be a Holocaust survivor. His hard life caused him to adopt a philosophy where mutants should rule the world over humans instead of aiming for a peaceful co-existence, like Professor X and the X-Men. A similar example happened more recently in stories written by Brian Bendis. See Invincible Villain above. Cronin, Brian (June 24, 2010). "Comic Book Legends Revealed #266". Comic Book Resources.

Reality Warper: Became this when he had the Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gems and the Heart of the Universe. By now, I believe it’s already clear who I’m going with – Thanos would win against Magneto in a one-on-one battle 9/10 times. He is just at another power level, no matter in what category you compare them. An alternate version of Thanos appears in the 1996 Amalgam Comics books published jointly by DC Comics and Marvel. Thanos was merged with Darkseid to become "Thanoseid". [108] Earth X Thanos is also capable of telekinesis and telepathy, as he has gone through many magical enhancements to improve his mental powers. Further enhancing these abilities is access to a plethora of mystic artifacts and magical weapons. Narration boxes aren’t what readers buy comics for, but there’s no reason why they can’t do more than just set the scene, and Cates understands that.

Galactic Conqueror: His reputation as one can even intimidate entire planets into giving in to his demands, as shown in Infinity. Oddly, for all his cunning with everyone else, Thanos does this with his rival Annihilus. Annihilus is the supreme lord of the antimatter universe and has cosmic powers. Thanos knows enough that Annihilus is extremely dangerous and respects the big bug as a heavy-weight. However, he still keeps on underestimating Annihilus's ability to think outside the box and ends up getting a big unpleasant surprise such as when Annihilus turned Galactus into a WMD with Thanos's help and another time in the Hulk vs Thanos miniseries, Annihilus permanently ends up getting the Hulk's size and strength from right under Thanos's nose. Thanos almost did a facepalm, when he saw how Annihilus bulked up. Screen Rant included Thanos in their "20 Most Powerful Marvel Villains" list, [98] and ranked him 8th in their "10 Most Powerful Members Of The Eternals" list, [99] and 10th in their "25 Greatest Comic Book Supervillains Of All Time" list. [100] Comic Book Resources ranked ranked Thanos 1st in their "13 Most Important Marvel Villains" list, [101] 2nd in their "10 Strongest Characters From Eternals Comics" list, [102] and 2nd in their "15 Most Powerful Eternals" list. [103] Impact You drag me across the stars to tell jokes?! Face me, you coward! I will kill any who oppose me! — Thanos Appearing in "Thanos Wins"

Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: In Infinity Gauntlet, after defeating Eternity, who is the living embodiment of the universe, Thanos leaves his physical body to become an astral entity and one with the universe itself. This, however, gave Zombified Nebula the opportunity to take the Gauntlet with the Infinity Gems for herself. Thanos appears as a playable character of Lego Marvel's Avengers, voiced again by Isaac C. Singleton Jr. [127] He tried this towards Doctor Doom at the end of Secret Wars (2015). Doom responded by relieving him of his spine. Genius Bruiser: Right up there among both the brightest minds and strongest bodies in the Marvel Universe. Wolverine Publicity: After his appearance in the stinger of The Avengers movie, he has been all over the place in comics, with varying degrees of quality. See Depending on the Writer above.Distaff Counterpart: Believe it or not, Thanos uses the Infinity Gauntlet to create a female version of himself in the form of Terraxia in an attempt to goad Death into jealousy (Death is unimpressed as usual). She apparently has all of his (non-Infinity Gauntlet) powers as well, in that she is easily able to slay Iron Man and Spider-Man. Of course, Thanos forgot the Required Secondary Power of breathing in space and she's killed when Nebula sends the two into exile in deep space just a few issues after he created her. A God Am I: Used to have a God Complex during his days of universal conquest and delivered some pretty delusional (but awesome) speeches when he got ahold of the Cosmic Cube and the Infinity Gauntlet. Thanos decides to atone for the destruction of Rigel-3, and agrees to aid a colony of Rigellians in evacuating their planet before Galactus can consume it. During the course of this mission Thanos learns Galactus is collecting the Infinity Gems in an effort to end his unyielding hunger. Thanos later learns Galactus is being manipulated into releasing a multiversal threat called Hunger, which feeds on entire universes. Despite opposition from Thanos, Galactus unwittingly frees the entity, and when its intentions are revealed, the pair team up and attempt to destroy it. [41] Drunk on the Dark Side: His usual cold and collected manners starts to go away once he gets powered up by an Artifact of Doom. Adaptational Nice Guy: In the Cinematic Universe, he is a full-on Well-Intentioned Extremist who kills in the name of avoiding an overpopulation crisis, instead of being in love with Death or wanting to take over the universe.

Retrieved May 30, 2014.Author Appeal: Starlin really likes to put weird and trippy creatures and dimentions in his Thanos stories along with various reterences to New Age philosophy. In The Ultimates (2015), after his capture at the start of Civil War II, he manipulated Anti-Man into freeing both of them, before trying to kill the team. Kirby had done the New Gods, which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said: "Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good one!" [3] Publication history

Breaking the Fourth Wall: A single panel in "The Infinity Ending" where Thanos is describing his omniscience and omnipresence shows someone reading "The Infinity Ending" comic. Last-Second Chance: Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel visits an alternate reality where Thanos the Just seeks out the reality gem to wipe out all criminals forever. He broadcasts one last warning though, in hopes that his renegade Space Pirate daughter Gamora will turn herself in and repent. Thanos is also contradictory regarding being a Straw Nihilist because he claims to be a hardcore nihilist and yet he loves Death. He also claims to love Death and calls himself her most humble servant but he has done so many things to defy her for his own personal reason. He's arrogant and postures himself as the greatest but he also has a lot of self-loathing. He's also neither completely a hero or a villain, He’s been the good guy as often as he’s been the bad guy so depending the story he can serve as both.

X-Men Blue #30 review

Blood Knight: He's more subtle about it than most examples but its there. He never misses the opportunity of fighting a cosmic heavyweight like Tryco Slatterus AKA the Champion of the Universe, Tyrant or even Odin himself. He often fights with a slasher smile on his face and pretty much the reason he decided to help the space heroes fighting Tyrant is because he got bored fighting an army of aliens by himself. Fate Worse than Death: What he considers life. At the end of Infinity he is immobilized in a state of Living Death, until Namor freed him. Two versions of Thanos from different alternate realities appear in Marvel Future Revolution, voiced again by Isaac C. Singleton Jr. [158]
