Warning : pillager for Avengers perpetually # 12Marvel’sThanosmay be one of the franchise ’s most powerful and intimidate villain , butMephistoactually beats him in one major way : following through on a now - classic MCU second that nearly killedIron Man .

fan will right away thread a line of latitude to the climactic import inAvengers : Infinity Warin which Thanos stabs Iron Man in the gut with a nanomachine - produce knife . regrettably , Thanos failed to turn back Iron Man for commodity because at his nerve , Thanos has a twisted sense of magnanimousness to his action ; in the film , he only kill those who are in his agency and can not be removed by any other mean value ( he sees himself as a hero , after all ) .
