Thanos’ first appearance was in 1973’s Iron Man #55, co-written by Mike Friedrich and Jim Starlin, and drawn by Starlin. Jim Starlin, Mike Friedrich/Marvel Comics His last on-screen appearance in a Marvel movie was the mid-credits scene of 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, in which he resolved to take matters into his own hands. Thanos lost the stone and two of his best assassins, whom he had trained from childhood and treated as “daughters.”Īpparently, after all this, Thanos has realized that acquiring the Infinity Stones is not something that he can accomplished by delegating. Ironically, all Thanos’ plan did this time was bring about the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who recovered the Power Stone and handed it over to the Xandarian peacekeeping force, the Nova Corps, for safekeeping. Thanos sent Ronan again, with the aid of another of his assassin “daughters,” Nebula - but instead of returning the stone, Ronan decided to wield its power himself, and take revenge on the planet of Xandar for oppressing his people, the Kree. Gamora took that opportunity to betray Thanos, attempt to sell the stone to the Collector and flee. Thanos sent Ronan after Quill, with help from his best assassin, Gamora. Then, in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Thanos tried again, allying himself with Ronan the Accuser to recover the Power Stone - only to be stymied by Peter Quill, a relatively inept scavenger. Ironically, all this plan did was bring about the formation of the Avengers, who defeated Loki and took possession of both the Space and Mind Stones. He allied with the disgraced Asgardian Loki, providing him with an army of Chitauri and a scepter containing the Mind Stone so that he might bend others to his will in his campaign to recover the Space Stone. We were first introduced to Thanos in The Avengers, when he found out that humans had located the Space Stone on Earth ( in the form of the Tesseract). Ultimately, Thanos seeks to collect and wield the power of all six Infinity Stones, but he hasn’t been particularly good at that so far.īlack Panther, explained What are Marvel's Infinity Stones - and where are they? OK, well, recap Thanos’ story for me. Damion Poitier played the character in his mid-credits appearance in The Avengers, while Josh Brolin played him in all subsequent appearances. He seems to be a powerful leader of armies, elite warriors and assassins who has conquered and destroyed numerous worlds in a far-off region of space. We know precious little about Thanos’ story before the events of 2012’s The Avengers. And don’t worry - t here are no spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War in this post! Who is Thanos? Here’s everything we know about Thanos from the comics and the movies. But after 10 years of buildup, and six years of the character getting small cameos, the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t really told us anything about Thanos the Mad Titan, the biggest bad guy the Avengers have ever faced. Avengers: Infinity War is the first major film appearance of Thanos, a major Marvel supervillain with decades of comics history under his belt.
