Marvel Universe Future: Thanos Wins

Thanos is frozen in time, then his only living son, Thane, strips him of his power during and after the events of Infinity. Infinity.Thanos has faced hard times in recent Marvel Comics continuity. Yet, keeping a good Mad Titan in check proves difficult.

Thanos soon regains his power by conquering the trials of God Quarry.God Quarry.Thanos deals with his son and sets out to conquer the universe again. Showing the full evil of Thanos’s campaign in main Marvel Comics continuity is hard; Marvel needs its popular heroes alive to sell books.

Instead, incoming.Thanos.Writer Donny Cates used a trick. He jumped to a future where the main character already won, having killed the entire Marvel Universe.

Thanos conquering the known universe looks like an average day for the Mad Titan. With his full power back, Thanos annihilates the Avengers, Defenders, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, and all alien heroes across gruesome splash pages.

Thanos's hardest fight, the one with the most pages, is against Galactus, Devourer of Worlds. This Galactus trained for centuries to stop the new dictator, but Thanos decapitates the cosmic giant with an energy blast.

Details on how Thanos beats Earth's heroes are scarce, save for a few gruesome shots. An entire page covers the death of the last Avenger, Thor Odinson. This Thor resembles his father, sporting a white beard and a missing eye, showing the God of Thunder fought Thanos for centuries. Still, the Mad Titan beats the Asgardian easily, Mjolnir included.

Many beings with immeasurable cosmic power exist in the Marvel Universe, but the Celestials are among the best. These technicolored giants appear as some of the last threats Thanos eliminates while slaughtering the universe, and he uses a creative method to destroy them.

Thanos apparently kept the Inhuman king Blackbolt alive for this moment. Thanos aims him at the Celestials and runs him through with a sword, making the sonic-powered monarch scream a death cry that destroys everything in its path.

After wiping out most life in the universe, what does Thanos do? Not much. After his multi-century killing spree, the future Thanos is bored. Though he has distractions, King Thanos spends most time sitting and thinking.

The far-flung future action of.Thanos Wins.takes place millions of years past the modern Marvel Universe. This means Thanos sits on his space-throne sulking longer than the human race has existed.

Thanos’s fans know what moves him most: chasing Death’s heart. Thanos usually has his bony mistress, but the future King Thanos has not seen his love in thousands of years. Once Thanos runs out of lifeforms to kill, Lady Death stops following him.

The lovesick Titan builds a mountain statue for her. He spends centuries plotting ways to win her back.

For the first few decades of his rule, King Thanos has many diversions. One hobby is his pit of despair. Thanos throws his defeated enemies in there so he watches them starve and eat each other. The Hulk ends up in the pit, then it becomes a Hulk-feeding zone.

A companion of King Thanos recalls feeding Captain America to the Hulk. Steve Rogers’s shield sits among the skeletons, alongside Wolverine’s claws and the Red Skull’s red skull.

Pets can be a fashion statement. A Hulk on a leash says “I Conquered The Universe.” King Thanos usually keeps the millions-of-years-old Bruce Banner in his pit of despair. He occasionally puts a leash and collar on the gray-bearded goliath in a great show of power.

Seeing Thanos on his throne with the strongest Earth heroes cowering at his feet shows the title.Thanos Wins.

King Thanos has an intimidating presence. He is not as cool as his regular companion, Frank Castle, the Cosmic Ghost Rider. Castle acts as the Punisher when he dies with most Earth heroes during Thanos's first death tour. Castle sells his soul to Mephisto for revenge on the Mad Titan, becoming the Ghost Rider. He then meets Galactus and makes a new deal to become a herald, becoming the Cosmic Ghost Rider.

By the time Frank catches his target, he is hilariously insane. He has no problem becoming Thanos’s “Black Right Hand” to “punish” entire galaxies.

Ghost Rider’s move is the Penance Stare. This attack forces victims to face all the pain, suffering, and bad things they did. It once took down Galactus, who could not face the agony of the worlds he ate.

The Penance Stare only works on those with guilt and remorse. Thanos is not that kind of being. King Thanos enjoys a Penance Stare every morning. He calls this habit “refreshing.” Thanos uses Ghost Rider’s deadliest power like an average person uses a shower.

The plot of Thanos WinsModern Thanos travels millions of years into the future to meet his kingly self. Time harms the Lonely Titan. He finds himself ready to beg his younger self for aid. King Thanos thinks winning back Lady Death—and maybe defeating his final enemy—requires a past team-up across time.

The title isThanos wins.Thanos Wins might be early. Thanos wipes out most life. One threat remains: the Fallen One, unseen for millions of years. Past and future Thanos face this foe. Norrin Radd, the former Silver Surfer, is the identity revealed. He is now a jet-black cosmic avenger with an extra-dimensional army and Mjolnir. This battle is legendary.
