Marvel’sThanosis one of the most terrific villains the company has ever created , but there ’s more to the crazy Titan than fear - and his last words in the comedian prove it while the MCU ignored it entirely . The Marvel Cinematic Universe steady lead to a battle with Thanos for years untilhe gathered the Infinity Stonesand shockingly defeated the Avengers inAvengers : Infinity War ; Thanos then became one of the few supervillains who in reality enacted his plan successfully and saw it through to the end . But his last Word of God in the comics before being killed byDrax the Destroyerconfirm Thanos is far , far smarter than he let on - and Death was his most studied guinea pig .
In the MCU , Drax is a member of an alien species that possess superhuman strength and durability , but in the cartoon strip , he is a man named Arthur Douglas . An attack by Thanos leaves Douglas ' married woman and girl utter ( though the latter is eventuallyrevealed to have survived , becoming Moondragon ) and Douglas swears retaliation after being grade into a novel eubstance . The competition between Thanos and Drax survived the transition to the MCU , where Drax believe Ronan the Accuser bump off his family on Thanos ' orders .

Thanos isvastlystronger in the cartoon strip than in the MCU : he has tremendous forcible specialty , can withstand more damage than the Hulk , and even has telepathic abilities that rival Jean Grey . But so is Drax , and the Destroyer finally get his vengeance fulfilled inAnnihilation # 4by Keith Giffen , Andrea Divito , Laura Villari , and Cory Petit . Here , Drax kills the Mad Titan by punching straight through his body . or else of crying out in painfulness or attempting to salvage himself , Thanos can only mutter"Interesting"before finally dying . Drax the Destroyer kills Thanos- and in the unconscious process , shows what the MCU left out : Thanos ' obsession with Death and his pursuit to understand it .
away from being a powerful warrior , Thanos is also a brilliant scientist , open of great effort . He is n’t afraid of Death , but rather fascinated by the prospect of experiencing something novel . It must also be say thatThanos is in passion with the avatar of Deathin the comedian , and the 1991Infinity Gauntletcrossover outcome chronicle Thanos ' endeavor to prove his undying devotion to her . Thanos eventually grows so powerful that he even eclipses Death ’s own might , and she spurns his advances anyway .
The MCU alas fructify aside Thanos ' enthrallment with acquiring new cognition ( and his fascination with Death overall ) in favor of his pure physical power . The comics show a more nuanced Thanos ; his intact life from his birth to death is a tragedy , not justhis clip on the dying humankind of Titan . Thanosas a scientist is far more terrifying than Thanos as a round-eyed physical threat - and the fact that he did not bewray the slight sense of care after beign killed by Drax proves it .
