HistoryEdit

Thanos, on a path to ruling the universe, made a deal with Loki through his intermediary, the Other, to get the Tesseract in exchange for an army with which Loki would conquer Earth.

Using the power of the Tesseract, Loki opened a wormhole in the sky of New York City, from which Thanos deployed an army of Chitauri warriors whom the Asgardian commanded in an attack. But Loki's plans failed when both the Asgardian and the Chitauri were beaten back by the Avengers. The Avenger Iron Man then redirected a nuclear missile so it went the wormhole, detonating near the Chitauri base, which was decimated.

When the Other reported on the defeat, announcing that humans were too "unruly" to be ruled and to try would be to "court death," Thanos only grinned with anticipation of things to come.

NotesEdit

• Damion Poitier makes cameos as Thanos at the end of Marvel's The Avengers. Poitier was credited as "Man #1" in order to keep the appearance of Thanos as a secret even if the full cast list was seen before the movie.
• It is highly rumored that Thanos will play some role, perhaps as the main villain, in the upcoming film Guardians of the Galaxy.
