Thanosis eventually dead in the world of Marvel Comics . But when you ’re as bad a scoundrel as he , not evendeathis genuinely the end . Which means it ’s time for Thanos to claim a raw body in Marvel ’s Universe … and gods help whoever isliving in itwhen he does .

That ’s the story that has begun in the page ofMarvel ’s rebootedGuardians of the Galaxycomic Word series , spin around out of the recentInfinity Warsevent . But no sooner had fans put that shocking consequence to layer ( includingthe demise of a Guardian of the Galaxy ) than the TRUE plan concocted by Thanos was discover . The story of the massive , over-embellished - skinned , atomic number 79 - armored Thanos may have been ended with a sword . But that only imply Thanos will wear a new physical structure when he make his riposte … but which Marvel hero will become the next vessel of Thanos ?

Yes, Thanos Was Really Killed

Just in case anybody missed the events ofInfinity Warsthat we refer to earlier , we should clarify thatthe death of Thanosreally was what it seemed , allot to everyone who has get the chance to inspect the Mad Titan ’s body . Normally it would go without saying thatwhen Gamora cuts off your caput , she does n’t leave anything to chance . And when she plunged a Power - rock - upgraded sword through Thanos ' chest , and followed it up with a decapitation , the results seemed square enough ( the subsequent haunting apart ) .

AsGuardians of the Galaxybegins , those facts are substantiate by none other than Eros a.k.a . Starfox , the brother of Thanos . With an assembly of just about every Marvel cosmic superhero , supervillain , organization , and military empire before him , Starfox confirm that Thanos has go past on to the next biography ( understanding to those who resided there peacefully until recently ) . The Guest trust that they are gather at a funeral and version of the Last Will and Testament of Marvel ’s greatest cosmic vanquisher … but they ’re wrong .

Thanos Has a Back-Up Plan For Death, Too

The thinker behind this newGuardianscomic series promised that their plans would be unlike anything Marvel buff expected , and do n’t take long to slay the bullseye . Writer Donny Cates and artist Geoff Shaw proved thatThanos was Marvel ’s greatest warriorin their prison term on theThanoscomic , but this new twist is even more unbelievable . All thing considered , have a massive holograph of Thanos appear to deliver one last , egotistical , mocking language to every hero and outlaw who survived his wrath is perfectly on - brand for the supervillain . But he does more than just grin at his Guest … he drops a terrific thunderclap .

As hard as it may be for Thanos to conceive that this recorded substance will ever be played - meaning that he has somehow NOT survived to becomeKing Thanos at the end of Marvel ’s universe- he is forced to accept virtually any upshot . And in the unbelievable event of his death , Thanos has a program in place .

First , have Starfox birth this content to the assembled cosmic graphic symbol . Second ? tell apart them he ’s about to repay … and one ofthemis plump to help him do it , whether they want to or not . evidently Thanos took the chance to have his cognizance put down ( and store ? ) so that even if his body exit , his brain , personal identity , and obsessive desire to subdue everything will survive … to inhibit , we take up . Of of course , it would n’t be terrifying or villainous enough to simply deliver awarningthat he is about to return .

No , Thanos want everyone present to get a line the intelligence because he need them all at eachother ’s throat . Why ? Because he ’s not telling anybody exactly who he has selected to become the next vas for his conquest consciousness . It ’s potential that one ofthe novel roll of the Guardians of the Galaxymay even be in the crosshairs of Thanos , but those are n’t the only choice available .

When you factor out in some of the Marvel characters teased in the same return , it seems Thanos may be getting a more muscular form than ever before …

Thanos is Taking Over a New, Living Body

It ’s at this stage that we should likely place out thatthe Thanos fromAvengers : Infinity Warisn’t really the same one made far-famed in Marvel ’s comics . For starters , there is no ' stately charge ' that Thanos is committed to achieving before he finally roost . Well , not unless you conceive ' watching as his enemies quiver and scattering before his grinning nerve ' a deputation , and ' having nobody else to oppose , kill , or stamp down ' the same thing as resting . Thanos lives to infuse fearfulness and take control , and his hope to return by taking over a Modern body is just the belated illustration . Still , the fact that he ’s draw it off from beyond the grave is pretty telling .

Not many of the cosmic Cuban sandwich , baddie , space pirates , and Ubermensch at the funeral respond with as much uncertainty asBeta Ray Bill , soon - to - be Guardian of the Galaxy . Unlike other survivors or scoundrel , Bill is like to Thor in both strengthandhonor , meaning he sees this as just as potential Thanos ' last laugh as a legitimate threat . But in the event that Thanos is secern the truth , it ’s his brother Starfox who is most eager to kill the target before they can play legion .

The Top Choices For The New Thanos

Nobody know Thanos like his brother , who has put the days sinceheheard the recorded message from Thanos to use like any good comic Good Book fan would : measuring each Marvel Comics character and decide which would give Thanos the big boost . carry into thoughtfulness not just physical strength , but the genius and force field of influence his new vas must wield , Starfox has get up with a wide reach of top prospect , seen in the image above . Considering just what Thanos would do with the powers of Odin , Venom , Loki , Nick Fury , Luke Cage , Ms. Marvel , She - Hulk , Black Panther , Ghost Rider , and several others is a potent mixture of sports fan service and bloodshed . But Starfox does have a select mark .

consider that she is both the daughter of Thanos and his public executioner , Starfox believes that it’sGamorawho might be the most in need of a preemptive decease . However , it still is n’t unclouded how Thanos mean to ' upload ' his consciousness into the target he chose before death , or whether the process is even capable to be intercept or interrupted . Which means for the prison term being … readers have no option but to wait and see whose body Thanos want as his own … and how he be after totake it .
