Proxima Midnight/Marvel Cinematic Universe

*"We... have blood to spare."*
―Proxima Midnight[src]
**Proxima Midnight** was Thanos' adoptive daughter, member of the Black Order and general of the armies of Thanos, as well as one of the most fierce and formidable warriors in the cosmos. She joined her father in his quest for the six Infinity Stones, with the aim of balancing the universe by killing the half of the population, along with her siblings Ebony Maw, Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian, Gamora and Nebula.

In 2018 Thanos started to claim the Infinity Stones along with the Black Order, obtaining the Power and Space Stones. After the Attack on the *Statesman*, she was sent by Thanos to Earth along with her brothers in order to obtain the Time and Mind Stone. After failing to take the Mind Stone of Vision, she fought the Avengers and their allies on Wakanda. Despite the tough fight from both sides, she was finally killed by Scarlet Witch.

## Biography

### Becoming a Child of Thanos

*"Considered his "siblings", they were all found and raised by Thanos, taken from their home worlds as the Titan continued his march across the galaxy on a mission. A mission that only he and his disciples could fathom as just and noble."*
―*Avengers: Infinity War: Destiny Arrives*
Proxima Midnight, like the rest of her siblings, lived in a resource-strapped world that was one day invaded by Thanos in his quest to wipe out half the universe. After Thanos attacked and killed the half of the population, he saw her and considered worth saving due to her warrior qualities, so he took the orphaned Midnight and raised her as his own child, starting training her to be a deadly member of the Black Order.

### Black Order and Thanos' Quest

*"Of all our sibilings, I hated you least."*
―Nebula to Gamora[src]
For many years, since her maturation, she was trained by Thanos alongside her adoptive brothers Ebony Maw, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian, to be the most powerful warriors in the universe, being gifted by Thanos with powerful weapons to aid him in his conquest. They used to go along Thanos in his invasions to many worlds across the cosmos, with the aim of balancing the universe, including Gamora's home world, Zen-Whoberi. Gamora and Nebula were then also adopted and trained by Thanos, along with their older siblings. Midnight once received a wound to her face, which left a scar across her mouth. Midnight, just like all her siblings, was hated by Nebula for many years. She also married with her adoptive brother, Corvus Glaive.

#### Infinity War

##### Attack on Xandar

In 2018, Proxima Midnight and the Black Order aided Thanos in the raid and destruction of Xandar, in order to take the Power Stone from the Nova Empire, most likely killing half the population of the planet. The news spread to many parts of the universe.

##### Attack on the *Statesman*

*"Father, we will not fail you."*
―Proxima Midnight to Thanos[src]

The next week, Thanos and the Black Order located and intercepted the Asgardians' vessel ship *Statesman* in order to obtain the Space Stone. After some shots from the *Sanctuary II*, they boarded the ship and fought the survivors Asgardians, killing the half of the passengers and leaving Heimdall and Thor badly injured. Midnight then stood next to Loki pointing her spear at him while Thanos demanded the Tesseract from him.

After Thanos fought Hulk, Heimdall used dark magic to summon the Bifrost Bridge to send Hulk to Earth. Helplessly, Midnight just watched Hulk being transported through space. Thanos then killed Heimdall and put the Space Stone on his Gauntlet, and said that there was two more Stones on Earth, for his children to get and bring them to Titan. Midnight told him that they would not fail him and the four knelt before him.

Right after that, Loki appeared offering himself as a guide to go to Earth, and promising undying fidelity to Thanos, however it was only a plan to approach Thanos and kill him with his blade. Although none of the Black Order members managed to react, Thanos expected that and stopped his hand using the Space Stone. Thanos finally snapped Loki's neck and dropped his corpse before Thor, as Midnight and her brothers watched. The Black Order then gathered around Thanos while he used the Power Stone to destroy the ship, and the Space Stone to transport themselves back to the *Sanctuary II*.

##### Attack on Vision

*"We don't wanna kill you. But we will."
"You'll never get the chance again."*
―Black Widow and Proxima Midnight[src]

After locating the Mind Stone, which was on Vision's forehead, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland aboard their Q-Ship to ambush them and take the Stone. As Vision and Wanda Maximoff were talking, Glaive suddenly impaled Vision's chest with his weapon. Before Maximoff could attack Glaive, Midnight shot her an energy blast from her spear, throwing her away inside a restaurant. With Vision lying on the ground, Glaive began to removing the Stone, while Midnight aimed her spear at Vision, however they were both swiftly knocked down by Maximoff's energy blasts. Maximoff then levitated Vision and herself in an attempt to escape from them.

After Glaive helped Midnight up, they quickly found Maximoff and Vision on the dark street where they were hiding, around St Giles' Cathedral. Glaive attacked Vision, while Midnight fought Maximoff with her spear. Maximoff dodged and blocked all the attacks, until Midnight shot her with an energy blast from her spear. The shot knocked Maximoff away, who landed on the ground, barely having time to react when Midnight reached her in a big jump trying to decapitate her with the bottom of her spear, which Maximoff held in place.

As Maximoff and Midnight kept fighting, Vision used the Mind Stone against Glaive on a roof of the cathedral, however Glaive used his weapon to deflect the energy ray, which caused one of the rays to split a truck near Midnight's fight. Midnight tried to imaple Maximoff, but she deflected the spear in the last second. When Maximoff finally managed to held Midnight's spear again, she noticed Vision was in trouble, so she threw Midnight into the burning truck using her psionic powers. The halves of the truck were separated by the impact and Midnight stayed lying on the ground for a moment, with her spear falling close.

While Glaive was removing the Stone from Vision, Maximoff appeared and knocked Glaive down, taking Vision with her and flying away. However Midnight quickly recovered and shot them down with an energy blast from her spear, making them land at the Edinburgh Waverley railway station.

Midnight and Glaive quickly arrived at the station, entering through the glass roof and landing in front of them. Maximoff stood up, preparing to use her powers, as Midnight and Glaive slowly approached to them preparing their weapons to fight her. However, when passing a train, Midnight felt a presence, which could be fully seen when the train finished passing. Midnight just opted to kill him by throwing his spear at his chest, however this individual dodged and caught it with his hand, to Midnight's surprise. The individual emerged from the shadows, thus revealing himself to be Captain America, while Falcon and Black Widow secretly prepared to ambush the Children of Thanos.

Falcon then suddenly appeared by their left flank using the momentum of his flight to kick them. Glaive ducked to dodge the attack, but Midnight failed to react and was thrown across a coffee shop, leaving her briefly knocked out. Captain America threw Midnight's spear into Back Widow's hands, which she used to fight Corvus Glaive and seriously wound him in the abdomen. Midnight returned to the fight calling her spear and catching it in midair, trying to kill Black Widow with it, however Captain America swiftly took Corvus Glaive's Glaive from the ground and stopped Midnight blocking her spear with it. She then fought both Captain America and Black Widow simultaneously, until her spear was split by Captain America, using Corvus Glaive's weapon. Falcon then appeared flying and kicked Midnight in the chest, landing her close to Glaive, who did she approach to protect him.

While Falcon pointed his guns at Midnight, she told Glaive to get up, however he told her that he could not. Black Widow told them that they did not want to kill them, but they would, to which Midnight replied that they would never have the chance again, and activated their waiting Q-Ship to take themselves back to it. Without other option, Midnight retreated with the wounded Glaive in her arms, drifting away on the ship to heal Glaive's wounds and meet with Cull Obsidian.

##### Preparing for the Final Battle

*"So we gotta assume they're coming back, right? And they can clearly find us. We need all hands on deck."*
―Bruce Banner[src]
After the Avengers went back to their facility and discussed what to do about Vision and the Mind Stone, they decided to go to Wakanda in order to remove the Stone without killing Vision. Meanwhile, Midnight and Glaive met with Obsidian and tracked the Avengers to Wakanda aboard their Q-Ship. With Glaive already healed, they created a plan to isolate Vision and take the Stone from him. They then prepared the Outrider army for the battle and positioned from space over Wakanda, from where they started deploying the Outrider Drop Ships.

##### Battle of Wakanda

*"You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone."*
―Proxima Midnight to Natasha Romanoff[src]
The Black Order deployed the first Outrider Drop Ship to the Wakanda palace, either to attack directly or to check the resistance of the gigantic energy dome that protects the Golden City, with which the ship collided and exploded. This caused the Black Order to land all the ships surrounding the energy dome. Midnight and Cull Obsidian descended in one of the ships commanding the army, while Corvus Glaive infiltrated the Wakandan Medical Center in order to ambush Vision and take the Stone from him.

Midnight then went to the energy dome along with Obsidian, to test the energy force field with her sword and talk with the generals of the enemy side. While Black Panther, Captain America and Black Widow were approaching, she pressed his sword against the energy field, realizing that it could be crossed by the Outriders. Once face to face, Black Widow mockingly asked Midnight about Glaive, to which Midnight told her that she would pay for his life with hers. Midnight then said that Thanos would get the Stone, to which they replied that that would not happen, and Thanos would only get dust and blood. Midnight ironically told them that they had blood to spare, raising her sword and opening the Outriders Drop Ships for the Outriders to descend.

Black Panther, Captain America and Black Widow returned to their positions. Once the Outriders were ready, Midnight put down the sword and they began to run towards the force field, hitting it strongly and even splitting themselves in half trying to cross it. Midnight smiled slowly seeing the fear of their enemies and knowing what they would be forced to do. Realizing that the Outriders began to cross the shield, Black Panther ordered to open a sector of the dome to keep the fight in front.

After many Outriders had already entered, Midnight and Obsidian calmly entered the city watching their forces outstrip their enemies. After Obsidian knocked War Machine down with a hammer blow, Thor arrived in Wakanda through the Bifrost, killing many Outriders with a single throw of his weapon. Midnight and Obsidian became concerned as they realized the great power that this new fighter had.

Continuing the battle, Midnight released the Thresher machines in order to execute the plan to ambush Vision, while Glaive was waiting hidden inside the Wakandan installation where Vision was. After Scarlet Witch left her position by helping to stop the Threshers, Midnight told Glaive that she was on the field, for him to take the Stone.

While Glaive was fighting Vision, Midnight found Waximoff in the middle of the battlefield and hit her in the face with the handle of her sword, falling into a ditch cause by the Threshers. Midnight told her that Vision would die alone, as would her, in reply to her intent to go help Vision. Midnight then heard a woman saying that Maximoff was not alone. When she turned around, she realized that it was Black Widow, and that Okoye was on the other side. Midnight then furiously jumped with her sword to attack Black Widow, thus beginning to fight against both.

As they fought, Midnight blocked Okoye's spear and the three ducked due to the Thresher passing above them, Midnight took advantage of this and kicked Romanoff in the face, falling her backwards. She then blocked Okoye's attack again and grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground.

Moments later Natasha stood up and faced Midnight using her batons separated. Midnight atacked her but Black Widow managed to take the sword from her by hitting her hand while electroshocking her underarm. Midnight furiously started beating Natasha in the face as she tried to cover herself with her batons, however the last blow came directly to her face and threw her to the ground again. Midnight then deployed a retractable blade from her left arm and tried to nail it to Romanoff's neck, however Romanoff blocked and held it with her batons, inches from her neck. While Midnight struggled to kill her, Wanda Maximoff stood up and lifted Midnight to an oncoming Thresher, where she died shredded by the giant blades.

### Legacy

*"If the aliens come back, what are you gonna do?"*
―Reporter to Spider-Man[src]

Proxima Midnight, along with Thanos and the Black Order, appears in a Time Variance Authority recording of the Attack on the *Statesman*, which Mobius M. Mobius used to shown Loki's future. In 2024 humans were still afraid that Thanos' armies might return, and questioned whether the Avengers would be prepared, as shown during a charity event with Spider-Man. In 2026, Scott Lang wrote a novel where the Black Order is mentioned.

## Personality

*"He'll die alone, as will you."*
―Proxima Midnight to Wanda Maximoff[src]
Proxima Midnight was trained her entire life to become a deadly and highly skilled combatant, repeatedly showing her tremendous warrior nature in battle many times and began developing her own cruel, arrogant, cold, and fierce nature. Midnight always had a strong loyalty to Thanos, despite the hard training that he did with all his adoptive children.

The Black Order was totally devoted to their master Thanos, holding an almost religious fervor in serving and aiding him in gathering the Infinity Stones, believing like Thanos, that what they did was just and noble. Unlike her sisters Gamora and Nebula, there is no trace of compassion, mercy, or hesitation within Proxima when it comes to carrying out Thanos' orders. Midnight enjoys commanding the army and seeing his enemies worried, as shown when she deployed the Outrider army against Wakanda. She also seems to enjoy killing or watching her enemies die, as shown when she smiled slightly when Thanos was choking Loki to death, demonstrating a degree of sadism.

Despite all of this, she was able to feel love for Corvus Glaive, whom she married at some point. They supported each other, especially in battle. During the attack in Edinburgh, she showed worried when Corvus was injured by Black Widow, fiercely returning to the fight, and protecting Corvus once they were defeated.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Superhuman Strength**: Proxima Midnight was physically stronger than regular humans like Black Widow and Okoye, as demonstrated when she dominated both during the Battle of Wakanda. However, the super-soldier Captain America seems to have strength comparable to her, as he was able to hold her at bay using the Corvus Glaive's Glaive to save Black Widow, but displaying visible strain in doing so. Her strength was enough to easily throw people around as she did to Okoye. She was also able to knock down Black Widow with a kick and subdue her with her punches despite being blocked by her electrified batons.

* **Superhuman Durability**: Proxima Midnight was very durable, especially in battle. She was able to resist powerful blats of Scarlet Witch's telekinetic energy during their first encounter for quite a while, before being defeated by the combined efforts of Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon. Even being outnumbered she was able to stand her ground, and suffered minor wounds, as was shown when she fought Black Widow and Okoye. She was also able to touch Black Widow's Electrified Batons with only mild discomfort and could withstand a kick to her abdomen from Black Widow with seemingly no discomfort. She was also thrown through establishments without suffering any visible damage from the glasses or the furniture within them, as well as when she was thrown into a burning broken truck, attacks from which she easily recovered. However, it's implied that she is not bulletproof, as she showed discernible inferiority in combat when Falcon aimed his guns at her. And a very clear but expected limit is when she easily died shredded by a Thresher machine.

* **Superhuman Speed**: Midnight was shown to be fast and agile, able to quickly attack or parry incoming attacks, as well as dodge or evade her opponents. During the skirmish with Captain America and Black Widow, she demonstrated be capable to block the attacks and keep attacking both them simultaneously, who are one of the best fighters on Earth. She was also shown to be able to maintain the upper hand against Black Widow and Okoye during their battle. However, it was not impossible to ambush her, as was shown when Falcon kicked her both times using the momentum of his flight, with Midnight hardly having enough time to react.

* **Superhuman Agility**: *To be added*

* **Master Combatant**: *To be added*

* **Spear Mastery**: *To be added*

* **Sword Mastery**: *To be added*

* **Master Acrobat**: *To be added*

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Spear**: Proxima Midnight wielded a three-pronged spear in battle against her enemies. It could be thrown at high speeds, or utilized in combat to impale, slash or parry attacks. The spear could also discharge powerful bursts of energy that could knock down her foes. This spear could also be controlled telekinetically, as Midnight was able to summon it back into her hands. Besides all this, it also has a function of light emission on the edge of her spear, allowing to look into dark areas.

* **Sword**: After her spear was destroyed during the Attack on Vision, she weilded a sword to fight in the Battle of Wakanda. She used the sword against the heroes, especially when she fought Black Widow and Okoye. During the fight, Black Widow finally managed to get it off her hands using her electrified batons. The sword was left on the battlefield after Midnight's death.

### Other Equipment

* **Armor**: Proxima Midnight wore a light-armor during her time serving Thanos. This armor gives Midnight greater agility in combat, and it's pretty resistant to varied attacks. It also has some technological functions which helps Midnight in her missions, like a communicator with the Black Order, a button to call the Q-Ships, and a retractable blade on the left forearm part.

* **Thresher**: The Black Order used large bladed wheel-like vehicles for battle. Midnight ordered the deployment of the Threshers from the Outrider Drop Ships in order to draw Wanda Maximoff onto the battlefield during the Battle of Wakanda. These giant machines killed many Wakandan warrirors, and also Outriders as collateral damage. Midnight also died in one of them after Maximoff lifted her up to it.

### Vehicles

* ***Sanctuary II***: Proxima Midnight, along the rest of the Black Order, used this massive warship to go to different places in the universe along Thanos and the army. In 2018 they used it to assault the *Statesman*.

* **Q-Ship**: Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive used this ship to go to Edinburgh in order to obtain the Mind Stone. During the fight, Glaive was hurted and her spear destroyed. Without having option, she retreated along with Glaive to their waiting Q-Ship and fled to orbit to nurse Glaive's wounds. Later they met Cull Obsidian in the ship, and prepared for the final battle for the Mind Stone.

* **Outrider Drop Ship**: Midnight, Obsidian and Glaive used these ships to arrive on Wakanda before the battle.

* ***Statesman***: Midnight boarded this massive ship alongside Thanos and her brothers to obtain the Space Stone. After some fights, Thanos obtained the Stone and they left the ship while it was destroyed by the Power Stone.

## Trivia

* This is the first live-action appearance of the character on media.
* Other version of the character appeared in *Avengers: Endgame*, and another in the *What If...?* episode *What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?*; both based on this character version from *Avengers: Infinity War*.
* As Midnight said, Vision and Wanda Maximoff died alone: Thanos turned back time, threw Wanda away, and took the Mind Stone from his head, killing him instantly; Wanda Maximoff then found Vision's corpse and died due to the Snap.
	+ The death of the alternate Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight in *Avengers: Endgame* is similar to the death of Vision and Wanda in *Avengers: Infinity War*.
* In the comics, Proxima Midnight joined Thanos and the Black Order after the Butcher Squadron was disbanded, unlike in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she was adopted by Thanos as a child.
* In the video game *MARVEL Future Fight*, the Proxima Midnight skin inspired on *Avengers: Infinity War* is 6'6'' and weighs 480 lbs.
* In the video game *Marvel Contest of Champions*, the Collector brings many individuals from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's main universe to the Contest of Champions, including Proxima Midnight.
* In a promotional image for *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3* from Marvel India, Nebula appears outside a establishment called "Thanos & Daughters".

## Behind the Scenes

* An early draft of *Avengers: Infinity War* included a specific backstory for Proxima Midnight and each one of the Black Order's members.
* While it is not acknowledged in *Avengers: Infinity War*, Michael James Shaw has stated that Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive are a married couple in the film, as the writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely also confirmed it by explaining how it was hinted in the film.
	+ Shaw also described their relationship as: "kind of like the Hollywood couple of the Marvel supervillain universe, I guess. It's kind of a dark marriage, but they have each other's back in battle."
* As with all members of the Black Order, the filmmakers of *Avengers: Infinity War* decreased the power level of Proxima Midnight from the comics, in order to adapt her to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Joe Russo said that in the Jonathan Hickman run the Black Order was too powerful. Still, Ryan Meinerding explained that they initially looked at the Black Order as the "evil Avengers of the rest of the universe", due to their backstories of being adopted by Thanos for their strength, power and warrior qualities.

* In early concept arts, the left arm of Proxima Midnight was designed as a bionic member, however Jerad Marantz decided to rework it and expose more of her costume, to show that was clearly armor and not a mechanical arm, as it's shown in *Avengers: Infinity War*. In another concept art she was designed with cybernetic eyes. Her eyes are shown to be biological in the film.
* Although at first it was tried to adapt her classic helmet from the comics, going through different designs of Wesley Burt, it was finally decided that it would be part of her head, in order to avoid comparisons between Proxima Midnight's headdress from the comics and Hela's Helmet from *Thor: Ragnarok*, as well as reinforce the fact that she was a different alien species that hadn't appeared in the films before. Jerad Marantz changed it into horns coming off of her cheekbones.

* In an idea for the attack on Edinburgh, War Machine was going to show up to fight the Black Order, but Proxima Midnight ended up slicing him in half, immediately revealing that he was remotely piloting the armor, as Tony Stark did in *Iron Man 3*. In the concept art, made by Phil Saunders, Rhodes is shown holographic fighting Proxima from the Avengers Compound, while Corvus Glaive fights the Hulkbuster, with Bruce Banner inside. Saunders said that the sequence was cut early on, but that still was fun to problem solve the real and holographic action overlapping depiction.
* Monique Ganderton portrayed Proxima Midnight on-set, with Carrie Coon coming in to record the character's voice and perform motion capture for her facial expressions in post-production, as Coon was pregnant during the film's production. Coon was invited to return for *Avengers: Endgame*, but she was unable to due to a scheduling conflict.
	+ Multiple people played the character due to the motion-capture. Greg Rementer and Anis Cheurfa were stunt doubles for Monique Ganderton in the role of Proxima Midnight. Kyle Mclean was a stunt performer in previsualizations.
	+ Carrie Coon also described her experience filming *Avengers: Infinity War* as lonely, due to the motion capture and the way scenes are filmed in these types of movies.

* In 2022, Andrew Kim revealed two concept arts from *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings*, where can be seen Proxima Midnight fighting Deadpool in the Golden Daggers Club arena. The idea came from the scene revealed on the trailers, just to see other Marvel characters fighting there. His choice for Proxima Midnight and Deadpool was due to their similar fighting style.
* Carrie Coon said that "no one ever dies" in the Marvel universe, addressing the possibility of return in the future.
