==Summary==
Thanos, referred to as the Dark Lord by his most loyal underlings and the Mad Titan by the galactic community, is a powerful Titan warlord who rules over a distant region of space and commands two massive armies, known as the Chitauri and the Outriders, and a small group of followers known as the Black Order. His main objective was to bring stability from the universe, as he believed its massive population would inevitably use up the universe's resources and condemn it. However, his methodology to succeed was warped; through the use of the ancient Infinity Stones, he intended to harness their power to exterminate half of all life in the universe, thus returning it to what he perceived to be a state of cosmic balance.

Standard Equipment: Armor, Double-Bladed Sword (Formerly for his Sacred Timeline self), Infinity Gauntlet
*The Infinity Gauntlet: A powerful gauntlet forged from Uru melted by the blazing power of a neutron star by the Dwarf King Eitri, under the strict command and supervision of Thanos himself under threat of death. With it, Thanos can collectively harness the power of all Six Infinity Stones, efficiently channeling and commanding their might without risk of misdirection or backfiring.
**Power Stone: Directly linked with, and representing all Power in the Universe, the Power Stone grants Thanos immense, unrivaled power on a cosmic scale, allowing him to effortlessly tear apart the surface of worlds and moons, as well as destroy his enemies with blasts of cosmic energies.
**Space Stone: Directly linked with, and representing all Space in the Universe, the Space Stone grants Thanos direct control over the fabric of Space itself, allowing him to telekinetically throw parts of Titan's destroyed moon, levitate, and fold space to create portals so that he may instantaneously traverse across the universe.
**Reality Stone: Directly linked with, and representing Reality itself, the Reality Stone grants Thanos the ability to mold and reshape the fabric of reality as he sees fit, allowing him to effortlessly transmute anything and anyone in his vicinity, create tangible illusions, and reform the entire landscape in which he's in.
**Soul Stone: Directly linked with, and representing the souls of all sentient beings in the Universe, the Soul Stone grants Thanos the power to manipulate the souls of his victims.
**Time Stone: Directly linked with, and representing all Time in the Universe, the Time Stone grants Thanos direct control over the fabric of Time itself, allowing him to halt, revert, and accelerate its flow, as well as generate endless time loops.
**Mind Stone: Directly linked with, and representing the minds of all sentient beings in the Universe, the Mind Stone grants Thanos the capability to influence and control the minds of his enemies. However, he has yet to demonstrate the Mind Stone's powers in any meaningful way.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Thanos is a cunning and ruthless individual with an intellect sharpened by centuries of experience. A brilliant strategist, commanding vast armies that have devastated countless worlds and destroyed empires across the galaxy, which earned him renown as one of the most fearsome warlords in the universe. A master tactician who manipulated events, such as Loki's attack on New York and Ronan's retrieval of the Orb to set the stage for his pursuit of all six Infinity Stones.Marvel Website: Thanos An incredibly skilled combatant, who easily outmaneuvered heroes such as Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Doctor Strange and Captain America during their confrontations. Quickly and intuitively learned and mastered how to wield the Infinity Stones, being the real master of them, understanding their true power and capable of harnessing the Stones' powers on a completely different level, unlike their previous owners.The Art of Avengers: Infinity War He found a way to time travel from 2014 to 2023 after obtaining Pym Particles, and reverse-engineered and mass-produced them alongside Ebony Maw.‘Avengers: Endgame’ directors just explained some of the movie’s biggest mysteries He is also an incredibly charismatic )
Standard Tactics: Thanos' fighting style greatly varies based on the version used and how many Infinity Stones he has. The two main versions that this profile covers are the one from Infinity War and the one from Endgame.
*The first one is a honorable warrior, who prefers not to kill his opponents if not needed and will first try to incapacitate them, unless he sees them as a serious threat to his plans, in which case he won't have problems killing the opponent if he has a chance to. It is unknown how he fight with his Double-Bladed Sword, but with the Stones he will try to quickly defeat the opponent with powerful attacks from his Power Stone or by incapacitating them with the Reality Stone and the Space Stone, but if that doesn't work then he will go for more lethal attacks. When equipped with the Complete Gauntlet, his first move will be to snap his finger in order to destroy his opponent, deconstructing them and turning them into ashes. 
*The second one, instead, is much less honorable, being far more ruthless and sadistic with little regards towards anyone. He won't have any problems with trying to kill his opponent even if they aren't an immediate threat to him. This is reflected into his fighting style with the Double-Bladed Sword, since with it he will try to continuously attack the opponent, without giving them the time to counter-attack. He was never seen using the Stones singularly, except for the Power Stone which he used briefly against Captain Marvel. His first move when equipped with the Complete Gauntlet, instead, is to use it to destroy the whole Universe with a snap of his fingers.
Weaknesses: He must be able to move his hand to activate the Infinity Stones. Continuous usage of the Stones had a toll on his body, as his left arm has been permanently damaged
Note:
*As discussed and accepted in this thread, the Infinity Stones are stated to be powerful enough to impact a four dimensional being like Dormammu, even to the point of cowing him and halting his actions, therefore their hax must also be 4D in order to being able to affect him.
