Thanatos

**Thanatos** (タナトス, *Tanatosu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Super Kingdom Bros.'s* *Immortals Kid Icarus Rising* series created by Scott Phillips and Toru Osawa. He is the God of Death, mischievous shape-shifter, and commander to Typhon's army.

When Poseidon escapes from Typon, he took over Poseidon's domain for himself before being defeated by Pit and Fenyx, while losing his realm's key. He was later sent by Hades to stop a "riot" but was soon defeated by Phosphora. It is unknown if he is alive or dead.

### Appearance

In his true form, Thanatos resembles a genie with green skin, puffy red eyes, and a large blue-lipped mouth, with a single fang protruding from the right side. He has an angular red gem embedded into his stomach, with cracks branching out from it on the surrounding skin. He also has a short, stubby nose and a skull ornament tied into his dark blond hair. Thanatos wears a magenta-colored scarf and a pair of large, yellow and red striped trousers. In addition, the armor on his shoulders appears to be covered with various branch-like structures that have jewelry hanging from them.

## Personality

Thanatos is depicted as a very flamboyant and eccentric character. He carries a very goofy and sometimes immature disposition almost all the time, such as covering his ears and pretending not to listen to certain statements while making ridiculous sounds. He enjoys witty repartee and likes to make humorous conversations and jokes, even to his enemies. He is also very sensitive, easily getting offended when ignored or told to shut up.

Despite his loyalty to Typhon and Medusa and not wanting to give up the key, he insists on handling things more civilly at first, wanting Pit and Fenyx to hang a while and catch up because he, as he puts it, "prefers honey to vinegar." However, his initial unwillingness to fight may simply be due to laziness, as he also claims he doesn't wish to improve his rank because of the amount of work it would involve.

## Powers and Abilities

Despite Thanatos' goofy demeanor, he is a powerful shape-shifter, able to morph his body into a variety of shapes. As Thanatos demonstrated, he can shape-shift parts of his body, such as turning his hand into a large mace. Thanatos can also fire dark fireballs from the spikes on his shoulder and a large, skull-shaped blast of energy at Pit.

Aside from his impressive shape-shifting abilities, Thanatos displays other magical talents. He can fly, teleport, materialize objects out of thin air, and use his magic to enchant other objects, as seen when he uses his magic to make the Trojan Horse tank sprout wings and fly.
