Thanos Rex was a genocidal warlord from Titian, whose objective was to bring stability to the universe by wiping out half of all life at every level, as he believed its massive population would inevitably use up the universe's entire supply of resources and perish. To complete this goal, Thanos set about hunting down all the Infinity Stones, being confident that the combined force of the Stones would grant him sufficient power. Thanos forged alliances with Loki and Ronan the Accuser in order to track down some of the Stones. However, both alliances cost Thanos much of his resources, including the Mind Stone and the loyalty of his daughters, Gamora and Nebula. Fed up with all his subordinates' ongoing failures, Thanos made the decision to seek and procur the Stones himself, and he began by forcing Eitri to create the Infinity Gauntlet for him so that he would be able to wield the power of the Stones safely.
Thanos then engaged in a ferocious crusade in order to obtain the Infinity Stones. During his mission, both Thanos and his his children went on the manhunt for all the six stones. As he managed to catch every stone one-by-one, this quest even forced Thanos to sacrifice his beloved Gamora, in order to take the Soul Stone. Thanos soon found himself challenged by the alliances of the entire universe's greatest heroes, which included the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. However, despite facing off against the powerfully combined opposition and the wrath of Thor, Thanos still ultimately triumphed as he completed the Infinity Gauntlet, using it to finally complete his goal through the Snap, which resulted in half of all life in the universe being wiped out with a mere snap of his fingers. Following his victory in wiping 50% of life in the universe, Thanos had then ensured this could never be undone by destroying all of the Infinity Stones, resulting in the Avengers tracking him down on Planet 0259-S, where Thor executed him with Stormbreaker.
Years after his death, Thanos was never forgotten by people who remembered him as one of the most dangerous intergalactic beings that posed a threat to the universe. However, during the Second Multiversal War, his death was undone by Kang the Conqueror, who used his power to enthrall and add him into his collective army known as the Legion of the Unliving.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Created by A'Lars[]
Thanos was one of the first generation of Titanians that were created by the Eternal A'Lars. While almost all of the Titanians were different while living on their home planet of Titian, Thanos was born with purple, hide-like skin and a massive body due to his father injecting a syndrome from a Deviant he experimented for centuries. The very reason that A'Lars did it was because Thanos was the only creation that was dying from some kind of disease and refused to let that happen since he deeply cared for him. The very first time his mother Sui-San laid her eyes on the baby, she was driven mad and tried to kill him, only for A'Lars to stop her from doing it.
Birth of the Mad Titan[]
At some point after his father had disappeared without leaving any traces of clues, Thanos spent most of his time on Titian, for which he had unconditionally loved his people and desperately sought to save his world when the planet became threatened by the imminent catastrophic collapse of overpopulation. Coming up with his own solution, Thanos suggested killing half of the population of their planet entirely at random, freeing the rest from starvation. However, his idea was considered too drastic, an act of genocide, and was dismissed by his people, who then exiled him from Titian for his foolish suggestion. However, Thanos' warnings were proven right, as his world was subsequently devastated over the decades as well as rendered nearly uninhabitable, and most of Thanos' own race was reduced to near-extinction while those that survived had ventured across the universe.
