It was made clear Thanos was made avatar when in Thanos own words she "sent he back to the light." Even Surfer and Marvell called him the avatar of death, Marvell saying they had bee searching for him for ages.
When Phyla was "deaths avatar" she was humbled by Magus who was Marvell inferior whom Thanos pwnd clearly showing the power gap and Thanos killed the so called avatar in one shot.
Phyla was dead when she got the avatar powers. Feel free to bring an scan of Death making Thanos her avatar. [/B]
She got her power her power from Oblivion in a ruse, do you really see another abstract claiming a avatar they have no real connection with, for instance would Eternity ever make a avatar of Death, iirc didnt Oblivion have his own avatar in Maelstrom.
