==Summary==
Thanos is a primary antagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Born an Eternal on the moon known as Titan, Thanos is a nihilist, despising all living things to the point of continuously enacting slaughter and destruction. This mindset led him to becoming obsessed with Mistress Death, the woman he views as his one true love. Thanos gave himself cybernetic enhancements which granted him the physicality to surpass his fellow Eternals, which only marked the beginning of his quest to impress the woman of his dreams
Wishing to prove his might to Death, Thanos had wiped out half of the population with the Infinity Gauntlet. Superheroes such as Thor and She-Hulk would attempt to stop him, only for the Mad Titan to turn them into stone, rendering them helpless. With countless residents of the Marvel Universe killed in an instant, Captain America lead the Avengers, any remaining X-Men, Spider-Man, Magneto, and Juggernaut as a strike force against their. The resulting battle lead to the Thanos' death, as well as the revival of the Infinity Gauntlet's victims, and freedom of the petrified heroes. Death herself would bring him back to life, continuing to serve her every desire.
Later on, Death wished for the universe to change, which the Mad Titan showed no hesitance in accomplishing. He enlists the help of Ultron to breach the shields of Abel City from the Capcom Universe, promising the artificial intelligence control of the city in exchange for his help. However, Ultron would fuse with the Maverick known as Sigma, turning into Ultron-Sigma, and defeating Thanos. After Ultron-Sigma had fused the Marvel Universe, Capcom Universe, Dark Dimension, and Makai Kingdom together, Thanos would eventually be rescued by The Resistance, reluctantly asking for his assistance. The Mad Titan agreed to help, but would only come to realize later on that Death's request had far greater intentions.

*Optional Equipment: 
**The Infinity Gems 
***Power Gem
***Time Gem
***Reality Gem
***Space Gem
***Mind Gem
***Soul Gem
*The Infinity Gauntlet: A relic infamously worn by Thanos. It has the ability to wield all six Infinity Gems at once, the likes of which far surpasses the power one would possess when using the stones individually, as well as granting new abilities to the wearer. In the hands of Thanos, this is an incredibly deadly weapon, which he greatly exploits with its array of capabilities and existence reshaping might.
*Abel City Gauntlet: A device created by Thanos, using the technology of Abel City. With it, he can easily strip away specific abilities from others, such as Ryu's Satsui No Hado. These abilities will then be bestowed upon Thanos.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Alongside Iron Man, he managed to create the Infinity Buster, a weapon advanced enough to wield as well as enhance the power of four Infinity Gems, cosmic artifacts bearing immense transcendent power. Crafted a gauntlet using Abel City's technology at the same time, which had the ability to strip away powers such as the Satsui No Hado from individuals.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Viewed Tony Stark's intellectual capabilities in a significantly lower regard, having ample knowledge of his technological accomplishes. Created his own cybernetic implants.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Possesses a greater understanding of the Infinity Gems beyond any other individual, mastering their full might and combative versatility to the point where a task force composed of Earth's heroes and villains were required to kill him.Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes Official Site Rocket Racoon finds Thanos' knowledge of the gems and deceitful nature to be incredibly worrisome, persistently expressing to The Resistance his uneasiness in freeing him for assistance.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Personally trained Gamora since her childhood, crafting her into a ruthless assassin as well as earning herself the title of the most dangerous woman in the universe.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite While his power was amplified by the Time Gem, his skills were enough to singlehandedly defeat Gamora as well as Zero and Ryu at the same time.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Understood the Satsui No Hado after only witnessing it once without any of its combative capabilities on displayMarvel vs. Capcom: Infinite)
Weaknesses: Thanos' extreme nihilism lead him to becoming obsessively in love with Death, the latter of which did not share mutual feelings, only using this trait as a means to exploit him. However, the Mad Titan no longer feels this way about Death after the Time Gem revealed her betrayal, and now wishes for her destruction.Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos can only wield one Infinity Gem at a time. Using the Raging Demon has the potential to kill its own user should it not be executed with finesse.X-Men vs. Street Fighter Manual
