It's not exaggerated to say that the success of Avengers not only come from favorite superheroes but also the supervillain and the mad titan - Thanos. Among all of the villain who appeared in MCU before, some said that Thanos is "the most wonderful villain in MCU history and the superhero film." Here is everything about Thanos that not even real MCU fans know.

Thanos is a character from DC comic book

Everyone knows that DC and Marvel are each other contestants; however, in fact, there are various characteristics that both sides get inspired by each other. Thanos is a good example.

Thanos was first introduced in The Invincible Iron Man #55 in 1973 by author Jim Starlin. The mad titan's name is derived from the God of Death in Greek mythology. However, at that time, the reader had found a lot of things in common between Thanos and Darkseid of DC comics which was introduced three years earlier by Jack Kirby. Kirby is also known as the father of MCU's favorite superhero such as Captain Marvel, Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer,...

How he makes people called him the Mad Titan

Little fans would know that Thanos's mother wanted to kill her son from the moment she first welcomed him to the world. Similar to other villains, Thanos had a miserable childhood. He was born in Titan, and he is a son of A'lars and Sui-san.

Due to a genetic mutation called Deviant, since he was born, he has an ugly figure with purple skin and right the moment his mother carried him in her hand, she said: "I saw evil in his eyes" then grabbed a knife intending to kill him.

Be abandoned by his family, Thanos gradually turned to evil and worship the Death and Mistress Death. When he grew up, he stole a space ship and started his journey to seek for loyal servants. And when his army got strong enough, he returned to his hometown, murdered his father and dissected his mother. Since then, they called him the mad titan.

Thanos and his undefeated superpower

One of the deadliest things about Thanos is his incredible comprehensive of superpower both physically and intellectually. His strength surpasses Thor, Silver Surfer, his intellectual even being said that overshadow MCU's most highly-regarded character such as Doctor Doom.

Thanos's legend weapon is the Infinity Glove which capable of acquiring the power of 6 Infinity Stones. Most importantly, he is the only one who managed to use the Infinity Glove. The Mad Titan even managed to get The Heart of The Universe to be the most powerful person in the Universe.

And if you remember, in Avengers: Infinity War, the mad titan easily knocked out Hulk with his bare hand, took the Mind stone out of Vision's head like a knife through butter. (Vision artificial body was made from Vibranium, the most stable material on Earth which also made Captain America's shield.)

Whether there is another side of love in this crazy villain?

Other details which make Thanos become the most interesting character among other villains in MCU history is his complex inner. The audience couldn't help but wonder when seeing Thanos' undeniable love for Gamora (even he sacrificed her to acquire the Soul Stone which required the thing he loves most in exchange).

Besides Gamora, Thanos' love for Mistress Death is also impressive to the audience of the series.

Lastly, fans now questioning how Thanos will be defeated in the last fight?
