Thanos is an Eternal with the Deviant gene which makes him unique and extremely powerful, even amongst his own kind. Above all else, Thanos loves and worships Mistress Death. Few can equal his intelligence, strength and ambition for power. Thanos has wielded the Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gauntlet and even the Heart of the Universe.
Thanos is extremely prideful, violent, deceptive, malevolent, and ruthless, to the point that he doesn't care about sacrificing innumerable planets and civilizations, even his own race, in order to praise Death and gain its affection. Thanos also possesses an insatiable hunger for power, always seeking to obtain objects of incalculable power, such as the Cosmic Cubes or the Infinity Gems. However, Thanos often speaks in a sophisticated manner with a calm and collected demeanor, described by the Silver Surfer as professorial. Thanos has also shown an appreciation for farming and seeking knowledge.
Despite his overall megalomaniac personality, Thanos doesn't wish to destroy everything, even willing to join forces with heroes when he perceives a threat more dangerous than himself. He worked together with Adam Warlock to stop Magus and the Goddess, teamed up with Thor and Genis-Vell to defeat Walker, teamed up with Adam Warlock, Gamora, Spider-Man and the Defenders to defeat the Thanosi clones, thwarted the Hunger entity with the help of Galactus, helped the Guardians of the Galaxy in order to stop the invasion of the Cancerverse, and worked with Deadpool to release Death from Eternity's prison. He also has a genuine respect for Mar-Vell and Adam Warlock, Thanos even helped Mar-Vell in his journey to the afterlife and he once considered Adam his only friend.

* Before going insane and naming her son Thanos, Sui-San planned to name him Dione; a fact she would reveal only to him on the day of her death.
* Thanos was born on a Wednesday.
* Thanos and his brother Eros call a truce once every year to meet and exchange gifts.
* Once a year, Thanos returns to the ruins of Titan to reminisce on his early life.
