Captain America Confronts Thanos

The single most iconic scene in the Infinity Gauntlet comic book arc is undoubtedly when Captain America confronted Thanos when pretty much every single other hero had already been defeated.

Despite the fact that his more powerful allies – and indeed several cosmic entities – had been swatted aside by the Mad Titan, Captain America walked over to him and said “as long as one man stands against you, Thanos, you’ll never be able to claim victory”.

The two then briefly fought before Thanos – who was essentially God at this point, remember – easily bested him, rooted his feet into the ground and even shattered his otherwise indestructible shield.

Exactly how this scene would play out in a movie (heck, Captain America might even win somehow!) remains to be seen, but the bravery, the defiance, the walk and the speech simply have to happen.
