Thanos

Thanos was an Eternal interstellar terrorist and conqueror of the 20th century. Born on the Saturnian moon Titan, he was the son of A'Lars and Sui-San. His father was the ruler of the planetoid, and he reigned alongside his sons. Following a failed revolt that came to be known as the Great Rift, Thanos was exiled for having introduced weapons to a pacifist society. His hunger for revenge led him to assemble an army of extraterrestrial criminals, with whom he orchestrated a siege of Titan. Mentor sought assistance from the cosmic entity Kronos, who constructed an assassin, Drax the Destroyer, to personally kill Thanos. Their battle led to the destruction of a planet and encounter with the human superhero Iron Man. Thanos subsequently became a perennial threat to the planet Earth and its defenders, the Avengers.
