Why The MCU Changed Thanos' Origin So Much

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Thanos is the most popular villain to come out of the MCU, but the version of the character on shown on screen is drastically different than the one in the comics. Ever since the first Avengers movie, when Thanos sent his army to aid Loki in his attempt to conquer Earth, the MCU set up that there was a much more powerful threat somewhere in the universe that was imminently approaching the heroes.

The MCU's Thanos Is Nothing Like The Comics The MCU's Thanos varies widely from his portrayal in comics, and, for the most part, these changes work best for the franchise. There are some smaller differences that ultimately would not impact his storyline that much. For example, in the MCU, Thanos is inexplicably near-invincible, but the comics explain that this is due to him subjecting himself to bio-enhancements.

Thanos Has A Biological Son Named Thane The Children of Thanos, powerful beings from across the universe that Thanos adopted during his after his invasions, are major players in the MCU, with Gamora and Nebula being the most impactful in the MCU. In the comics, in addition to his adopted children, Thanos has a biological son named Thane. Not only was Thane's arrival new to readers, but it was also new to Thanos as he didn't know about Thane until Thane made himself known.

Death Made Thanos Immortal Though Thanos achieves many abilities on his own in the comics, giving him unmatched invulnerability, it is only after his interactions with Death that he becomes immortal. Death bestowed upon Thanos mastery over death itself, rendering him impossible to kill. She also grants him the ability to curse people and control the dead.
