Thanos

Thanos is a fictional comic book character, a supervillain that has appeared in books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 (Feb. 1973) and was created by writer-artist Jim Starlin. Debuting in the Bronze Age of Comic Books, the character has been featured in over four decades of Marvel continuity and a self-titled series. Thanos has appeared in other Marvel-endorsed products, including animated television series, arcade and video games, toys and trading cards. Thanos appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a non-speaking cameo at the end of the 2012 film The Avengers, and Josh Brolin portrays him in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy and will reprise the role for future films. Thanos was ranked number 47 on IGN's top 100 comic book villains of all time.
Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to the Eternals, but amplified to a higher degree through a combination of his mutant Eternal heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and power bestowed by the abstract entity, Death. Demonstrating enormous superhuman strength, stamina, and durability, Thanos can absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy and is capable of telekinesis, telepathy and matter manipulation. Thanos is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in the art of war on Titan.

Thanos is a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding contemporary Earth science. He often employs a transportation chair capable of space flight, force field projection, teleportation, time travel and movement through alternate universes. Thanos is also a master strategist and uses a space vessel called Sanctuary II as a base of operations.

Thanos

The protagonist and the true Hero of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos tried to save the world by defeating MCU's greatest villains Iron Man, Captain America and Thor by collecting the 6 Infinity Stones, and once he does, he will snap his fingers and fifty percent of everything will turn into 2D Anime Lolis.

Thanos is also the dude who said that "I am Inevitable", which is followed by the main villain Iron Man exclaiming that "And... I am Goku" followed by an Ultra Instinct punch.
"Thanos did exactly what he said he was going to do. He turned 50% of all living creatures into lolis."

Thanos

The antagonist of the film, Avengers: Infinity War and its unnamed sequel (during the time of writing this) who is the leader of the Chitauri, the Black Order and the Outriders. He was the man pulling the strings in several Marvel movies before this: in Avengers, he provided Loki with the Sceptre and an army. Also, in the Guardians of the Galaxy, he was Ronan's boss. In Avengers 3, he kicked his plans for getting the Infinity Stones and fought against the Avengers.
He was also popularized by a trend of memes called, "Thanos Did Nothing Wrong", in which people post memes proving his point of view was right.
In the comics, he was created by writer/artist Jim Starlin and first appeared in The Invincible Iron Man #55(February 1973).
In the movies he was portrayed by Josh Brolin.
Thanos is as good as the Joker from the Dark Knight, if not better.
