Thanos is a powerful being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Attributes

Thanos has been described as "the most powerful being in the galaxy", but his abilities in the MCU are not yet known.

History

Thanos has apparently been a ruler in a distant part of the galaxy for some time. He was the power behind Loki and the Chitauri in The Avengers. He was also involved in a deal with Kree renegade Ronan the Accuser to trade the "Orb" for the destruction of the planet Xandar in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Thanos is known to have a number of adopted daughters, including Gamora and Nebula. He apparently takes in orphans after conquering their homeworlds, bionically modifying them and training them for work as agents and/or assassins. If Gamora and Nebula are typical examples, these agents are not very loyal, so it is unclear why he goes to the trouble.

Threat Assessment

Thanos appears to be trying to acquire the Infinity Stones. As each is a source of immense power, he would presumably be able to dominate the universe if he could obtain and control all of them.

Trivia

  • In the comics, Thanos is a member of an offshoot race of humanity called the Eternals. He has tremendous superhuman strength, great resistance to injury, and the ability to generate directed blasts of energy. He has genius-level intelligence and knowledge of both technology and mystical forces.
  • In the comics, he is a worshipper and the would-be lover of the incarnation of Death. His motivations in the MCU are not yet clear, but when the Other said that "to challenge (the humans) is to court death," Thanos seemed pleased at the thought.
