Biography
Origin
Thanos was a male Titanians Eternal who was born to Sui-San and Mentor on the planet Titan.
During his birth, his mother wanted to name him Dione but upon seeing the child's eyes she named him Thanos. (Thanos v2 #14)
Annihilation
Though dead, the Universal Church of Truth discovered his remains and encased it in a protective cocoon where they proceeded the long process in trying to resurrect him. Upon emerging from the pod, Thanos killed everyone on the Church's homeworld of Sacrosanct as his mind went feral and he was in a mindless rage at being resurrected. The Guardians of the Galaxy attempted to stop him but were unable to match his strength in this state until Star-Lord used a Cosmic Cube to knock the Mad Titan unconscious. (Guardians of the Galaxy v2 #25)
