Anyways Starlin gave me infinity gauntlet and that is my favorite story of all time. That is the story that really got me into comics in the first place. I still remember I was at phar mor at the time and I remember it was infinity gauntlet 2 and I looked inside to see this mysterious character talking with eros. It was Thanos. I havent looked back since.
Starlin's a nutsack sometimes...The best thing he did was think of a completely original character named Thanos, and created him.

Personally... I don't know why everyone loves IG so much... but that's just me.
Originally posted by Bad Ash231Well thats the Thanos that I knew. I really didnt know about his predeath stuff when I was first drawn into the character. I do agree that after his resurrection was when he really started getting interesting as I look back now.
Eh.Thanos wasn't anything spectacular until he was resurrected by Lady Death.
Spoiler Warning. Very BIG reveals following
Spoiler:
The Source is the being responsible killing off the New Gods, thru an agent (still unnamed, probably Infinity Man), mainly because it is displeased with how the New Gods have divided between good and evil, and also with New Genesis' persecution of the Bugs.The Source was split by the Old Gods (Zeus, Odin and one other) into a "yin" and "yang" - yin being the Source, this little orb Metron met at the end of #4, and yang being Anti-Life.....which eventually took the form of the Anti-Life Entity. The Source claims responsibility for the end of the Third World (aka Ragnarok: "There came a time when the Old Gods died..."😉 as "cosmic revenge," moreorless.
The Source's soultaker is killing the New Gods and collecting their essences into the new 2nd Source Wall, in preparation of "starting over" with a Fifth World (that prehistoric planet is the beginning of it).
And the Source has been manipulating basically all of Infinite Crisis (including the Monitors and the 52 Earths) in its endeavor to do away with the Fourth World and created a new Fifth World.
Metron's reaction to all this is quite literally: "ooh, can I watch?"
Oh, and Mantis and Kalibak are killed. Scott is convinced it's Orion, and snaps. And poor Superman's stuck in the middle.
Originally posted by TricksterPriestHe said it was the son of the Source, and the second part is common sense...
For the longest time he kept saying it was the Source killing the new gods and that it was the beginning of the end for the 4th world, and the birth of the 5th.And he was right all the while.
