Thanos strikes panic across the world and the Universe. He heeds back to the ancient Greek God of death, Thanatos.
Thanos is obviously obsessed with nihilism and death. His love is Goddess Death. He is said to be bloodthirsty and powerful in the cosmos. He has really murdered millions in order to impress Death. No one knows about his next move. Nobody really comes to know about what he will be doing next and what will strike back again.
But What is his Origin?
Thanos has a nickname, not one but many. One of these is the Mad Titan. This provides a major clue to his birthplace that is 890 million miles away from Earth on the largest moon of Saturn, Titan. It is the only moon in the social system that has a dense atmosphere. It is the only body where the surface liquid is found. Titan was populated 750,000 years ago by a fraction of Earth’s Eternals who were on the losing side of a civil war. Titan became a socially and scientifically developed haven of unity and prosperity. Then came Thanos.
Thanos first occurred in The Invincible Iron Man #55 (February 1973). It is the innovation of writer/artist Jim Starlin. In later appearances, it was disclosed that he was born on Titan. He was the child of the Eternals A’lars (aka Mentor) and Sui-San. The budding Thanos transmitted the gene of the Deviants, an offshoot of the hereditary experiments of the godlike Celestials that established both sentient life on Earth and the Eternals. This is what gave him an awful, purple appearance, unlike his elegant brother Starfox (aka Eros). In fact, Thanos was an extremely gruesome baby, his mother Sui-San’s effort to kill him at birth but was halted by A’lars.
It was possibly the Deviant genes and the proficiency that his own mother had tried to kill him that instigated Thanos’s dark enthusiasm with death and devastation. After reaching adulthood, Thanos left Titan but came back with an army and plopped waste to the planet, killing thousands of Titans comprising his mother, Sui-San. He then began on his lifelong goal to prove his love to the Goddess Death, which involved collecting the Infinity Stones and eliminating half of all life in the universe.
The mutant child of Eternals who was planned to be protectors of Earth, it’s no surprise that the Mad Titan has conflicted so many times with Earth’s heroes. And as he has returned from death many times in comic books, it will be interesting to see if Thanos comes back in any of the upcoming comic books or movies.
