*"Rain fire!"
"But sire, our troops!"
"Just do it!"*
―Thanos and Corvus Glaive[src]

As the generals of the armies of Thanos, they carried out several missions across the galaxy, usually invading overpopulated worlds and killing half the inhabitants.

## Trivia

*See also: Black Order#Trivia*
* All four members have a word in their names alluding to black and darkness, which could explain why they were called the "Black Order".
* In the comics, the Black Order is also known as the "Cull Obsidian", however in the MCU, Cull Obsidian is the name used for the character instead of "Black Dwarf".
* Cull Obsidian is the only member who does not speak English.
* It is possible that Gamora and Nebula were also once part of the Black Order, however it has never been confirmed.
* Footage of the Black Order from *Avengers: Endgame* appears in the *She-Hulk: Attorney at Law* episode *Whose Show is This?*, during She-Hulk's "fourth wall incursion" into Disney+ and Marvel Studios Headquarters.

## Behind the Scenes

*See also: Black Order#Behind the Scenes*

* Although Supergiant in the comics is an important member of the Black Order, she did not appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For *Avengers: Infinity War*, the Russo Brothers explained that it was due to the fact that they were dealing with too many characters.
	+ An early concept art of Thanos and the Black Order for *Avengers: Infinity War* included Supergiant. In another concept arts for *Avengers: Endgame*, Supergiant was also shown as part of the Black Order. Michael James Shaw also stated that Thanos had a group of five generals that he acquired throughout the universe.
* When the Black Order descend on Earth for the battle, Ebony Maw is notably taller than his original version was in *Avengers: Infinity War*, likely due to a VFX design error.
