We already introduced you to the Infinity Stones.
Now it's time to present you the person, who wants to use them for his
dark schemes in „Avengers 3“: The mad titan Thanos.
We have not seen much of him as of now, which is why we are going to
introduce him to you.
Where does he come from? Thanos comes from the Jupiter-Moon
Titan. There the so called „Eternals“ once
built a colony. Eternals are the result of genetic
experiments conducted by an ancient race known as „Celestials“.
Experimenting with human genes the „Celestials“ created the „Eternals“,
who are more powerful and live a longer life than the average human
being. Thanos is one of these „Eternals“ and
the son of Mentor. However he was born malformed and
monstrous-like, which resulted in him becoming a melancholic loner, who
became increasingly fascinated by death after self isolating himself
from the other „Eternals“ and his family.
What does Thanos want? To put it simply: Thanos wants to be
loved! Loved by Death herself.
She once appeared to him in the shape of a beautiful woman, who Thanos
immediately fell in love with. Ever since then Thanos did whatever he
could to impress Death. Should this factor play a role when it
comes to the MCU-version of thanos, we soon will have a new addition to this
world: Death herself. Possibilities and opportunities to
hint at her are given in both „Doctor Strange“ and „Thor Ragnarok“.
How does Thanos want to impress Death? Through uniting the „Infinity Stones“
of course, which will make him an all powerful being.
But before that, he tried out different things first.
After he attempted to destroy his home planet with an army uniquely assembled
for this goal, thanos turned himself into a god with the help of the cosmic
cube, which is capable of altering reality itself.
In order to get his hands on said object, Thanos landed on earth, where
he collided with both The Avengers and Captain Marvel.
Only with a trick, The Avengers managed to outwit Thanos.
They led him to believe, that he had used up the power of the cube
completely. Once thrown away, Captain Marvel used
the cube to reverse the effect of Thanos' rage.
After this adventure Thanos began his search for the infinity stones.
Since we will have a Captain Marvel – Film in between the two upcoming
Avengers-movies, she might play a pivotal role in the battle against
Thanos. So Thanos wants to use the Infinity
Stones to once again win over Death through his omnipotence.
He fights multiple times for the stones.
While gathering them all for the very first time with the help of Adam
Warlock, in order to build a weapon, Warlock stands in his way and defeats
him. The second time around Thanos creates
the so called „Infinity Gauntlet“, the same golden gauntlet, that we have
already seen in the MCU, and that is able to bundle the power of the
stones. Equipped with the power of the
„Infinity Stones“ Thanos eradicates half of the living beings of the
entire universe.
Can Thanos be defeated? With the Infinity Stones Thanos is
technically invincible. He has the power over space, time,
reality and everything else, that a god can control.
And yet Thanos does have a weakness...his arrogance.
So when Adam Warlock assembles The Avengers of earth in the fight against
Thanos, the latter does not want the fight to be too easy for him.
After all Death needs to be impressed. So he temporarily refuses to use the
power of the stones. Even in this state he is able to fight
back against the combined forces of The Avengers.
However from the moment on, that he turns into eternity itself, he gives
his daughter Nebula the chance to steal the gauntlet.
That forces Thanos to team up with the Avengers and battle her.
In the end she is unable to deal with the tremendous power, and loses the
gauntlet to Adam Warlock, who bans Thanos from earth.
