Hell I don't even read marvel comics and i know for a fact death is another character entirely. In the movie he's the last of a alien race. The literal incarnation of death (ie, Death) is another character, but there are multiple gods of death in the comics. So that wouldn't prevent Thanos from being one of them (and some cultures in the setting certainly tend to consider him one). Though if we're going by the comics, Thanos doesn't actually care about the universe at all, and certainly isn't purging it to preserve it. He's just killing people because he is literally in love with Death, who appears to him as a hot chick in purple robes. She's kind of an aloof bitch, though, and doesn't seem to love him back, so he keeps doing crazier and crazier things to try and win her over. Most of which never work. Also, in the comics, while Thanos IS from Titan, Titan is literally just the moon of Saturn, not an entirely different planet in a different solar system. And he isn't the last survivor of Titan, Titan's actually doing fairly well for itself. He's just an exile from there because they consider him a terrorist, and he killed his mother. His father and brother are still around, though, and have worked with the Avengers in the past (his brother actually WAS an Avenger for a while). Movie Thanos is basically a well-intentioned extremist because they wanted you to be able to sympathize with his motives if not his methods, because Marvel isn't fond of doing purely one-dimensional villains. "Guy who wants to have sex with death" probably wasn't going to work in the universe they've established. But either way, the moment he has the Gauntlet, in either universe, he basically IS God. (And the Gauntlet isn't even the only time he's basically been God in the comic universe - he's had the Cosmic Cube at least once, and that basically lets you rewrite reality however you want on a whim like a genie with unlimited wishes. And at least once he basically inherited the powers of the literal ultimate over-god of the setting and only gave them up because he had to in order to basically fix the universe and save it - otherwise he'd basically be god of nothing, ruling over a broken ruin.) --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:914472145] in Thanos...
