Weakness must be cast aside for the sake of power.
~ Thanos

Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe, but this...does put a smile on my face.
~ Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War

I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening, turns the legs to jelly. I ask you to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now it's here. Or should I say, I am.
~ Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
~ Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War

I am...inevitable.
~ Thanos in Avengers: Endgame

I am Thanos, I am all things! This is who I am!
~ Thanos to Darkseid in Thanos vs Darkseid Death Battle!

Am I not Thanos?! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who forced me into this hell called life? Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day!
~ Thanos to Mephisto

Death Battle Info (Fanon)[]

As a mutant variation of the Titanian Eternals, Thanos has immense strength and vitality along with nigh-limitless stamina. His physiology not only lets him survive hits from beings like the Hulk, Thor and Black Bolt but also regenerate from these wounds quickly and absorb/project vast quantities of cosmic energy. Thanos is also an accomplished manipulator, a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, and a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science.

Infinity Gauntlet[]

A relic that gives the owner near-omnipotent powers. It is powered by the six Infinity Stones, six gems of vast power created from singularities at the end of the previous universe which separately make one god-like in their own right if used properly.

Time Stone[]

Gives the user control over time itself, ranging from reversing or accelerating the flow of time to stopping time in an instant or creating a time-loop that only the user can cancel. It can age enemies into dust; so long as they don't have eternal life. It can also reverse all damage Thanos or any other Infinity Stone suffers; so long as Thanos and the Time Stone aren't destroyed or incapacitated.

Space Stone[]

Limitless manipulation of space, allowing for teleportation, dimensional manipulation, the creation of wormholes, self-multiplication, size alteration, etc.

Soul Stone[]

Limitless manipulation of souls both alive and dead also has shown to be able to evolve or devolve a being both physically and mentally.

Reality Stone []

Locally or universally alters the natural laws of the universe to the wielder's will, draining the life force of lesser beings who possess it. It can also spontaneously create or alter any material object the wielder desires, allowing them to disable opponents or weapons by turning them into bubbles or dismantling them into cubes.

Power Stone[]

Controls all of the power in the universe. Grants the user infinite strength and makes them invincible to physical attacks. It can be used to augment or inhibit any force, causing lesser beings holding it to combust in a massive explosion. It also increases the power of the other infinity stones.

Mind Stone[]

Taps the user into the universal consciousness, allowing for unlimited manipulation of psionic powers including telepathy and telekinesis or to subjugate the wills of others.
