Ebony Maw/Marvel Cinematic Universe

*"Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No... It is salvation. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... For even in death, you have become Children of Thanos."*
―Ebony Maw to Asgardians[src]
**Ebony Maw** was Thanos' adoptive son, member of the Black Order and the speechifying warrior of Thanos. He joined his father at a young age, when he invaded his home planet and killed the half of the population. Maw joined Thanos' quest with the aim of balancing the universe, being trained by him along with his siblings Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, 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 capturing Doctor Strange and get him aboard his Q-Ship, he traveled to Titan while he tried to take the Time Stone from Strange, however he was finally killed by Iron Man, being frozen in space.
