Thanos is one of the most famous villains in the universe of comics and cinema. An absolute success that has also produced viral memes, above all due to the famous explosion of destruction in the Marvel’s Avengers films. However, there’s a lot more to the story than what we’ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For example, did you know that Thanos has multiple “children”? Well, find out all about them below!
Who is Thanos?
Present in the Marvel Universe since the 1973 issue of The Amazing Iron Man, Thanos is a mutated member of the race of superhumans known as the Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to that group, but to a greater extent through a combination of her mutant heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and power bestowed by the cosmic entity Death.
He’s one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe, but he’s also a tragic character. He is a man in love with Death and willing to do anything to conquer it. Thanos has appeared in several Marvel Studios superhero films, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
The story of Thanos
Thanos is one of the last sons of A’Lars, father of the second Eternal colony on Titan, and Sui-San, the last survivor of the original Eternal colony on Titan. The villain was born with a syndrome called Deviant, which gave him purple skin and a huge body. Also, Thanos was very dark as a child and hence his obsession with the concept (and later the entity) of death.
Who are the children of Thanos
First it needs to be said that Thanos has no biological children in the MCU. In the comics, the villain even has an only biological child, named Thane, with an Inhuman. However, it’s not the bloodlines we’re going to talk about now.
The “children” of Thanos are, in reality, beings of the most diverse origins and races who were adopted by the tyrant and trained to be his most powerful and reliable soldiers. Also within the children of Thanos is the Black Order, made up of a number of characters that appear in Marvel films.
Without further ado, you can see the list of Thanos’ children and their key characteristics below.
Gamora
Known for being a former assassin and a time member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanos trained Gamora to be the greatest mortal warrior in the universe. She is a skilled fighter with a wide range of physical and mental abilities.
nebula

Although by technique she is known as Thanos’ granddaughter. Nebula was created alongside the supervillain’s children and ended up playing in the MCU films as Gamora’s sister. Among her powers are combat enhanced by cybernetic body enhancements and her expertise in combat strategies.
Raven Glaive

He is a member of Thanos’ Black Order. Corvus Glaive, is a mighty warrior and has a halberd that can cut through any surface.
following midnight

She is a powerful warrior with a spear that can strike any target, no matter how far away. Proxima Midnight is also part of Thanos’ Black Order.
Ebony Maw (Ebony Maw)

Being intended as Thanos’ secret weapon, Ebony Mouth has telepathic powers capable of persuading and hypnotizing an entire army. Additionally, the villain has the abilities of telekinesis and teleportation, as well as specialized combat training.
Black Dwarf/Obsidian Slaughter

Black Dwarf is known to be one of the strongest beings in the galaxy. However, it’s worth mentioning that in practice he’s not one of Thanos’ most capable sons, since the villain was forced to retire from Wakanda, which led to his removal from the Black Order by Thanos himself.
Zorr

Known to be Nebula’s biological father, Zorr possessed immense strength. The villain was one of the main enemies of the Nova Troops and even attacked Xandar. However, during the attack, he ended up dying.
Ronan (Earth-1610)
This is not the main enforcer of the Kree empire, but he is one of the sons of Thanos. Ronan is a super strong and super tough warrior. Importantly, he wields the Ultimate Weapon, a weapon that grants him a myriad of powers centered around energy control.
supergiant

Though few Marvel movie fans know her, she is a powerful villain and member of Thanos’ Black Order. Her main power is to be able to possess other people and become intangible.
Gallowglass (Earth-1610)
Created from the same mass as a sun’s heart, the Gallowglass is almost a walking bomb. Among his feats is the time he completely destroyed the Fantastic Four’s ship by breaking Sue Storm’s force field.
Atrea (Earth-1610)

Identified as Thanos’ wayward daughter, Atrea can emit beams of light and disintegrate all living matter in her path. There is an assumption among comic fans that The Thing’s death may be to blame.
Thane

He is Thanos’ only biological child, an Inhuman, and known to be a true secret weapon of Thanos’ Black Order. He has several powers in his hands: through his right hand he can cause death and through his left hand he can cause eternal ecstasy.
