After capturing the 2023 Nebula, 2014 Nebula stole her Time-Space GPS and Pym Particles, and disguised herself as the older Nebula.

* **Description**: Thanos was a genocidal warlord from Titan, whose main objective was to bring stability to the universe, as he believed its massive population would inevitably use up the universe's entire supply of resources and perish.

However, the arrival of time-traveling Avengers from 2023 alerted him about the events of the Infinity War and how it would end. By capturing Nebula, he managed to use reverse-engineered technology to venture to the future and lay siege on the Avengers, as he had just decided to instead wipe out the entire universe and replace it out of revenge for their efforts to stop him. However, Thanos had been just too late to stop the victims of the Snap from being resurrected as thousands of heroes returned to stop him. Despite all of Thanos' best efforts, he was unable to claim victory as Tony Stark used the Infinity Stones to eliminate the Chitauri, Outriders and Thanos himself, finally ending his reign once and for all.
