Chapter Ten: Thane and a Whole Bunch of Other People Defeat Thanos

And that brings us to 2014's Infinity, a big Marvel cosmic event in which about Thanos sent his Black Order to Earth as a galactic war raged in space.

This is where we got the weird aliens that menaced the MCU Avengers in Infinity War. Thanos first attacked the Inhumans in Attilan, and that culminated in Black Bolt detonating the city around him. This didn't work.

Thanos eventually managed to track down his last son, Thane. But Thane was strong enough to overpower his father and imprison him in living amber. Thanos suffered numerous defeats after that. Dr. Doom murdered him by having his spine ripped out during Secret Wars, he was beaten up in the opening salvo of Civil War 2, and had a long fight with the Ultimates.

The Civil War 2 fight is of particular note, mostly for the effect Thanos had. He was able to punch through War Machine's armor and kill him, which kicked off the conflict between Iron Man's band of heroes and Captain Marvel's more proactive group.

Lesson Thanos Should Learn Already: Just stop, Thanos. Just…stop.

There you have it: A history of Thanos's failures for you to rub his nose in. I feel confident in saying that after 2019's Avengers 4, we'll have one more to add to the list.
