In the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thanos proved that he is one of the most powerful characters in the entire MCU, but A Christmas special from the House of Ideas revealed the unexpected and greatest weakness of the Mad Titan.
Mentor’s son was defeated by Thor and then by Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame and in the comics he has also had rivals who have beaten him. However, both confrontations boiled down to strategy, without exposing Thanos’ greatest weakness.
As a report published on the website of His houseAlthough the Titan looks like an all-powerful villain, cocky and bitter, That does not mean that I do not have emotions, especially on Christmas dates..
It was precisely in a Marvel Comics Christmas special in which Thanos allowed them to see his greatest weakness.
The 1992 Christmas Special
Jim Starlin, Ron Lim and Terry Austin are the names behind the 199 Marvel Christmas Special2 (released in January 1993), in which we can see Thanos in one of his old hideouts.
In the place, Thanos finds a doll that belonged to Gamorahis adoptive daughter, which led him to remember how his pupil sacrificed the toy to save it from an invisible killer. Sure, before she caught on to the Titan’s obsessions with destroying planets and civilizations and ended up turning away from him.
The fact that the Mad Titan does not show his most sensitive side does not mean that he is not. That he feels nostalgic for the memories of his daughter shows that, beyond the terrifying villain facet, within him there is still empathy for the beings he loves. Even at Christmas.
