The Thanos Quest is a two-issue comic book limited series in the Marvel universe,

written by Jim Starlin. In it, Thanos schemes to steal the Infinity Gems from the

Elders of the Universe and other cosmic entities in order to be able to carry out

Death's command that half the population in the universe is to be killed. The Thanos

Quest is continued in The Infinity Gauntlet limited series.







2. The Infinity Guantlet

The Infinity Gauntlet is among the most powerful artifacts in the Marvel Universe. The

Gauntlet consists of the six Infinity Gems mounted on a gold glove. Each Infinity Gem

grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the Universe:



* Time

* Space

* Power

* Soul

* Mind

* Reality



With possession of all six Infinity Gems, the bearer would have complete omnipotence

over the Universe, though not necessarily the omniscience required to effectively wield

that power. Later comics added the existence of a seventh gem called the Ego Gem. Only

one being, the omnipotent Living Tribunal, have ever been shown as more than a match

for the Gauntlet's power having twice stopped the gems from working in unison and even

reversing an action that Adam Warlock performed as "God." However, Adam Warlock once

speculated that if Eternity had ever managed to gain the Infinity Gauntlet, then "...his

attitude towards the Living Tribunal might change."







3. The Infinity War

Infinity War was a comic book crossover that ran through numerous comics published

by Marvel Comics in 1992. The main plot of the series occurred in the six-issue Infinity

War miniseries, which was written by Jim Starlin and illustrated by Ron Lim. Infinity War

was a sequel to the Infinity Gauntlet miniseries, and was followed a year later by the

Infinity Crusade crossover miniseries.



The primary villain of the crossover was the Magus, who was created when Adam Warlock

expelled good and evil from his soul after attaining omnipotence in the conclusion of

the Infinity Gauntlet miniseries. The evil portion of his soul became the Magus, while

the good portion of his soul became the Goddess, who is eventually seen at the end of

Infinity War and is the main villain of Infinity Crusade. To battle the Magus and his

army of evil doppelgangers, Adam Warlock and Earth's heroes teamed up with Thanos, the

villain of the Infinity Gauntlet.







4. The Infinity Crusade

The Infinity Crusade was a fictional conflict over cosmic cubes in the Marvel Comics Universe.

It was depicted in a 1993 six-issue limited series written by Jim Starlin, although major

events also took place in the two books featuring Adam Warlock that Marvel was publishing

at the time. The primary antagonist is the Goddess. It wraps up a loose end from the events

of Infinity War, and was Jim Starlin's last work on Thanos until Infinity Abyss.







5. Infinity Abyss

Infinity Abyss (collected as Thanos: Infinity Abyss) is a six issue 2002 comic book

miniseries written and drawn by Jim Starlin and published by Marvel Comics. It involvs six

Thanos clones, hybridised with other prominent Marvel Universe figures including Doctor Strange,

Professor X and Galactus acting on their template's nihilistic desire to end the universe,

while they were opposed by a group including Adam Warlock, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and

Thanos himself. A sequel was produced that continued the focus on Thanos, in

Marvel Universe: The End.

death (and eventual resurrection) of nearly all of Marvel Comics superheroes. It is a part
