Thanos

Thanos is the main antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a powerful and charismatic Titan with unparalleled intelligence and strength. Known for his nihilistic ideals and his pursuit of the Infinity Stones, he seeks to gain absolute control over the universe and is prepared to commit genocide to achieve balance through the Snap, his method of killing half of all life. Thanos exhibits a complex array of traits, valuing discipline, order, and balance, yet his methods are extreme and devoid of empathy. Despite his harsh nature, he has a unique paternal bond with his adopted daughter Gamora, and he is fiercely opposed by the Avengers, led by Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Thor. Thanos is revered by his devoted Children of Thanos, such as Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, and has faced adversaries like Doctor Strange and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
