Thanos

Thanos is the main antagonist of the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He was an extremely powerful Titan warlord who commanded three massive armies, the Chitauri, the Sakaarans and the Outriders, as well as a small group of his most powerful lieutenants and fanatical followers whom he takes as his adoptive children known as the Black Order. He is the overall archenemy of Iron Man and the Avengers as a whole.
Thanos formed an alliance with Loki to invade Earth, and later forged a partnership with Ronan the Accuser to destroy Xandar - both in exchange for the deliverance of two powerful Infinity Stones, only for the pair to end up failing their tasks before they betrayed Thanos afterwards. Thanos was also indirectly responsible for the creation of Ultron as his supplying of the Mind Stone to Loki was what gave Ultron free will to rebel against humanity in the first place. 
He later obtained all six Infinity stones, fought with the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, and successfully wiped out half the life in the universe. His actions would ultimately be undone, however, after the Avengers successfully retrieved the Infinity Stones through time travel. Soon after, an alternate version of Thanos from the past, time traveled to the present in an effort to destroy the Avengers and erase the whole universe in order to create a new one, but was defeated and erased from existence once and for all before he could carry out that plan. However, even after his demise, Thanos' actions still haunted the Avengers. 
In The Avengers, the first of the tetralogy, he was portrayed by Damion Poitier. For the rest of the MCU, he was portrayed and voiced by Josh Brolin in motion capture.
