Corvus Glaive/Marvel Cinematic Universe

**Corvus Glaive** was Thanos' adoptive son, member of the Black Order and one of the most brutal and trusted killing machine of Thanos. He joined his father at a young age, when he invaded his home planet and killed the half of the population. Glaive joined Thanos' quest with the aim of balancing the universe, being trained by him along with his siblings Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, Cull Obsidian, Gamora and Nebula.

In 2018 Thanos started to claim the Stones along with the Black Order, obtaining the Power and the Space Stone. After the Attack on the *Statesman*, he was sent by Thanos to Earth along with his siblings in order to obtain the Time and the Mind Stone. After failing to take the Mind Stone of Vision, he fought the Avengers and their allies on Wakanda. Despite the tough fight from both sides, he was finally killed by Vision by impaling him with his own weapon.
