Thanos
Character » Thanos appears in 1258 issues.
An Eternal with the Deviant gene, making him unique and extremely powerful, even amongst his own kind. Above all else, Thanos loves and worships Mistress Death.

Thanos is BACK! in Guardians of the Galaxy #25
And I hope this is an official return, to much has been going around the Marvel cosmos without Thanos. Heck Death had two new avatars while he's dead, what kind of crap is that?
It might just be Thanos from the universe at the other end of the Fault, although I do hope it's the return of the real deal.

He’s back…Thanos! How did he return? Why is he back? And what does the appearance of the galaxy’s #1 threat mean for our rag-tag band of universal protectors? Find out in the next issue of the comic that CosmicBookNews.com calls “Awesome. Amazingly, jaw-droppingly awesome.”

It sure sounds/reads like he's back.
That's good to hear. I had other doubts as well. Anyone remember this cover from GoTG #8 in which Thanos had a cover and didn't even appear in the issue? Well, I do.
If he is really coming back I can't wait. It wouldn't surprise me if he came back to work with the Guardians, I mean it wouldn't be his first time playing the good guy, well I guess as good as Thanos can be. I would like to see the go between him and Drax.
" It might just be Thanos from the universe at the other end of the Fault, although I do hope it's the return of the real deal. "i considered that as well, but this occurs after Realm Of Kings. also GoTG hasnt really shown any dealings with those Dark
characters from that in this crossover. Im thinking its the real deal since Magus has also returned.

lol if i saw that cover i would have gotten it, im glad i missed it if it didnt even have him in it

" Well i'm officially switching from Marvel to DC. "
I was sure you'd say that.
All in all, I must say I expected him to stay dead for a little longer.

" @Nova`Prime`: That would be cool. But what I want to see is a fight with the Surfer. I love Thanos, but I've been waiting a long time for Thanos to finally get a beat down from the Surfer, who shouldn't have too much of a problem since his Annihilation power up. "My sentiments, exactly.
" @Vance Astro: Why, its not like DC doesn't bring characters back from the dead. "Bringing "characters" back from the dead doesn't piss me off.Bringing "Thanos" back specifically does.
"Oh no, he's supposed to stay dead dangit "
So as Steve and Thor, should I even go into the whole Ms. Marvel death thing? I'm sure the Wasp is buzzing around out there somewhere as well xD

Hercules had an issue that adressed all of the dead heroes who are playing in a casino in the underworld to come back to life, it was pretty funny :p
but Thanos is such a sh!tty character.
" @War Killer said:I've never really anything about him, so I wouldn't know.. But what issue was that casino in, I want to read that, lol. But they never gave us a body for Janet, so Bendis could always say "Oh, she was just in another universe hangen with Ultron, no biggy..."" @geraldthesloth said:The wasp is dead dead, as dead as Jack of Hearts who I wish was still alive.

" @Vance Astro: Makes sense, just curious why Thanos? I kinda wish Marvel would stick with the ending of "The End" where Thanos stated there shall be no more resurrections, when a hero or villian falls someone else will have to take up the mantle. "I never liked the character and CV made me hate him even more.The more things about him that popped up I realized how sh#tty of a villain he was.Marvel basically spared him with PIS his entire existence and then killed him off at the hands of someone far weaker in comparison to people he's owned.
She was confirmed dead, she was in the casino and hercules was so depressed to find out she'd died." @geraldthesloth said:

If you ever find it again, I'd like to read the thread. But I would like to say that Thor also talked to Steve when he was "dead"
i like Thanos, but as ive said before i dont like the notion of him reappearing here.
just seems forced. like theyre bringing out Thanos just for the sake of bringing him out.
id think a better storyline would come out of using someone less known as it opens
the doors for more creativity.
" @War Killer: Steve wasn't at the casino that's what sparked my interest. "I need to read this issue.
I don't know what the hell everybody is so mad about I loved Thanos and was mad as hell when I saw he died. He beat people with intelligence and not muscle or power so a lot of folks looked down on him. He is one of the smartest beings in Marvel. The issue with most folks is that they don't know how to take a character that isn't 100% evil but at the same time is no where near good. I will admit he has been in some wild and often weird stories but honestly who hasn't in comics. I mean come honestly all the people that are coming back now- Quasar, Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Apocolyspe, just to name a few.
Honestly the only people in comics who stay dead are Uncle Ben and the Waynes, so chances are if you die in a comic you will eventually come back sorry that just how it is.
I've been thinking about this a lot and I think I know why he's back. The Magus. I've seen preview images of the Magus coming back before Thanos is set to come back. We all know whenever the Magus is around, it's Thanos that stops him (usually with Adam Warlock). Only this time, there won't be a Warlock around since he actually turned into the Magus this time.
Maybe we'll get the best of both worlds. Thanos comes back for a bit (for the Thanos fans) and returns to Death's realm once the Magus is defeated (for the haters).
For all i know he might be joining forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy and teaming up against magus

Anyone noticed the DC commercial on top? lol"

BLACKEST NIGHT: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, RISE OF THANOS
For along time we have been seeing that cocoon the Matriarch of the UCT has, but we have no idea what is inside of it. We also see she has an interest in whatever the creature inside of Moondragon is. I think they have something in common, because she did open the cocoon, which she though Warlock/Magus was inside of. No matter what, the Magus is coming in one form or another and I think that is what is luring Thanos.
It could be a Thanos from the Fault, but for some reason I don't think that. Although he looks 'possessed' to some in that pic, that's how he always looks when he's getting ready to blast someone. The one thing I can definitely agree with is that he will show up on the last page, which already sucks because issue #25 comes out in April.
