> Am I not Thanos?! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who forced me into this hell called life? Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day!

> Thanos to Mephisto

> Your arrogance is noble, but futile; just, but useless. It is the way of man, the only way we know how to play the game. But the contest is over and she comes for you. Are you ready for her? She is the bridge to eternity. Her caress is peace. Do not fear her, for she is merely that which awaits us all.

> Thanos to a dying Captain Mar-Vell

> Now do you realize the true genius of the Titan called Thanos? Only he could have conceived such a grand scheme! Only he could have gained the cosmic cube and thought to order it to change him into all things in the universe! Thus, exit Thanos the man! Enter... Thanos the god!

> I am now omnipotent. What should I do with such almighty power? The answer to that is really quite simple: Anything I want.
>
> Thanos

> Death will now be permanent. Never again will there be any miraculous resurrections. No fooling or bargaining with the great divine. Heroes will no longer be recycled. From this point on, when they fall another will have to take their place.
>
> Thanos to Adam Warlock

> I am now linked to all there is, be it living or inanimate. My consciousness has become infinite and eternal. My gaze extends even beyond this actuality. I am the tree in the primordial jungle, and the beasts lumbering past it. I am the flesh devoured and the teeth that rip it from a dying host. Looking out, I witness the dawn of creation... even as I gaze upon its inevitable end. Every microbe and atom in the universe I share existence with. I climb the evolutionary ladder with all creatures that ever lived or will live. My consciousness extends from single-celled organisms to upper echelon predators and beyond. If you are, I am part of you. Not even the mightiest of entities can escape my intrusion into their being. How strange to be my own mother cradling in my arms my own past self. Even as I peer upon my own birth, I view the universe's. Civilizations rise and fall before my all-seeing gaze. And I witness that fateful moment when everything ends.

## Summary

**Thanos** was born on Saturn's moon Titan as the son of Eternals A'lars and Sui-San; his brother is Eros of Titan. Thanos carries the Deviants gene, and as such, shares the physical appearance of the Eternals' cousin race. Shocked by his appearance and the belief that he would destroy all life in the universe, Sui-San attempted to kill him, but she was stopped by A'lars. During his school years, Thanos was a pacifist and would only play with his brother Eros and pets. By adolescence, Thanos had become fascinated with nihilism and death, worshiping and eventually falling in love with Mistress Death.

As an adult, Thanos augmented his physical strength and powers through his superior scientific knowledge. He also attempted to create a new life for himself by siring many children as well as becoming a pirate. He finds no fulfillment in either until he is visited again by Mistress Death, for whom he murders his offspring and his pirate captain. Wishing to impress Mistress Death, Thanos gathers an army of villainous aliens and begins a nuclear bombardment of Titan that kills millions of his race, and then begins search of more power in order to fulfill his goal of spreading death and destruction through the universe for his love, earning the name feared across the universe, as **the Mad Titan**.

All in base to an unfathomably greater extent, Precognition & Cosmic Awareness (Users of the gauntlet see time as a repeating loop; Whereas others experience the present, the users have already lived that before several times, only allowing themselves to make unimportant mistakes. This applies to characters as fast as several abstracts and a casual The Living Tribunal.

All previous abilities to an unfathomably greater extent (The Cosmic Cube gave him a very limited experience manipulating facets of the divine, and the Infinity Gauntlet only gave him external control of his powers, with the Heart, he's "all that was and subservient of none". Only demonstrated using the powers listed here), Acausality (Type 1. Gained his power because of Akhenaten's advent and the Celestial Order, whom he eradicated any trace of their existence by traveling back in time and killing them before almost every event in *Marvel: The End*. Unaffected after making time and space no longer exist), Regeneration (Low-Godly for his body. Lost his corporeality and reappeared briefly afterward, although the practicality of this is unexplored given his omnipresence), Cosmic Awareness (Could have sensed the Living Tribunal's meeting of cosmic powerhouses but didn't due to being engrossed in reveling in his newfound power. His awareness continued to expand beyond the material and the abstract into realms he never suspected even existed), Time Travel & Teleportation (Went to the 1334 B.C. in Egypt from space to kill Akhenaten, then two thousand years before the latter's existence to kill the Celestial Order, just as a precaution), Portal Creation & Technology Manipulation (Shown here), Vibration Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Thread Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Disease Manipulation and Healing (Beyond the material and the abstract there are universal vibratory patterns that are said by Thanos to be "heavenly laws written in the ether", "luminous weaves" and "the order that holds off the chaos and the void"; They were twisted & perverted, by trying to fix them, Thanos' every effort initially only worsened the situation. Later healed this Astral Cancer from the universe at the cost of his own life), Size Manipulation & BFR (Made himself bigger and vanished Eternity), Absorption & Existence Erasure (Absorbed everyone and everything in the universe into his being, making time and space no longer exist. Said that their very existence was by his whim), Causality Manipulation (Minted a universe where certain events didn't happen in its past)

Possibly the same abilities as Akhenaten (Assuming this aren't things he actively decided to manifest on himself, Thanos should have the same abilities as the former was empowered by some of the Heart's power): Extrasensory Perception (Akhenaten detected Horus using clairvoyance to spy him and knew that gods were watching him, as well as where they were) and Resistance to Information Analysis & Cosmic Awareness (Thanos' technologies couldn't permanently detect his unique energy emanations before his approach to Earth, Reed Richards' technologies couldn't know what he was on that moment and Abstracts such as Master Order, Lord Chaos, Infinity and Eternity could not detect the cause of the perilous imbalance in the cosmic flow made by him, the latter stating that this to be a "truth hidden from the least to the greatest of all beings", possibly indicating that The Living Tribunal was unaware of this as well. After his advent Infinity and Eternity were "blind", only limited to gaze upon the here and now as opposed to all time and space)
All previous abilities to an unfathomably greater extent, even far beyond that of the Heart of the Universe, with the exception of Acausality (Was successfully affected by time travel)

* **Optional Equipment:** His Throne/Chair which can teleport, cross dimensions, cloak him from the senses of cosmic beings, generate force shields, and fly at FTL speeds. Sometimes he has the Reality Gem but rarely uses it.
