Thanos (Earth-11584)

History
"'You are at Xandar. Or at least what soon will be left of it. But you have a higher purpose for being here. Your going to tell me everything you know about the Soul Stone.'"More Coming Soon...

Powers & Abilities

 * Energy Manipulation: Thanos is able to, at least on a limited scale, manipulate cosmic energies to fire concussive blasts of energy.
 * Effective Immortality: As a child of the planet Titan and a descendant of the race known as the Eternals, Thanos is effectively immortal and virtually impossible to kill. Gamora even speculated it may not be possible to kill Thanos via known means.
 * Superhuman Strength and Durability: In addition to his immortality, Thanos has superhuman strength and durability to a degree not yet fully understood.
 * Army Command: Thanos normally does not engage in battle himself, employing his daughter Nebula (and formerly Gamora) as well as his Black Order to conduct most of his affairs. He has taken an interest in assembling the Infinity Stones himself, after using proxies for a number of years and seeing them fail. He also commands the Chitauri Army.

Weaknesses
Thanos seems arrogant, but that is certainly justified given his abilities. He is often referred to as the most powerful being in the universe, though he himself will admit that's an exaggeration. He does have an obssession with the embodiment of the concept of Death, which appears to be motivating him to acquire the Six Infinity Stones.
