Thanos Turns Nebula Into A 'Living Sculpture'
[ranking: 5]
The Infinity Gauntlet sees Thanos wreak havoc on pretty much everyone in the Marvel universe. He inflicts the most pain on his self-proclaimed granddaughter, Nebula. When the space pirate makes this claim of relation to Thanos, the Mad Titan repays her by transforming her into "a hideous living sculpture of pain and living death."
He laughs at her suffering before offering his progeny as a gift to the living embodiment of Death, with whom he's obsessed.
Thanos's Mother Tried To Kill Him As An Infant
[ranking: 10]
Thanos's mother, the Eternal Sui-San, saw "death in its eyes" when she first held her newborn son. She wasn't wrong. Unfortunately, she was too prescient for her own good; no one else saw the evil lurking in the baby born with "Deviant Syndrome," and Sui-San was institutionalized. Her urgent need to kill her son is messed up enough; the fact she really should have been allowed to is even more disturbing.
Drax Punches Through Thanos's Chest And Rips Out His Heart
[ranking: 13]
The 2006 cosmic Marvel comic event Annihilation is aptly named, as the whole run is littered with brutally serious deaths. Drax's murder of Thanos, for example, is particularly gruesome. While Thanos is no stranger to fists tearing through people's torsos, he's not usually on the receiving end of such savagery. The Mad Titan gets what's finally coming to him when Drak the Destroyer not only punches through Thanos' chest, but rips out his beating heart.
Thanos Makes Hulk His Leashed Dog
[ranking: 7]
The Thanos comic that began in 2016 goes to some pretty wild places, including a distant future in which Thanos is king of the universe after defeating the Avengers. Most of those Avengers are dead, but not Bruce Banner. He gets the dubious honor or being turned into the Mad Titan's madder hound.
Thanos keeps Hulk in a pit of bones, when he's not on-leash. Among the bones are those of Steve Rogers, the former Captain America who was fed to the Hulk Hound.
Thanos Smashes Sam Wilson's Head In His Hands
[ranking: 1]
In case you were wondering, the sound a head makes when it is squished between two massive hands is "SPLORT." At least, that's how the gruesome death is depicted in Thanos #10 when the Mad Titan kills Falcon-turned-Captain America, Sam Wilson. This issue actually shows Thanos as a potentially heroic version of himself, but that's not Thanos.
Shortly after rejecting the vision, he takes his frustration out on poor Sam Wilson.
Thanos Kills Gamora After Raising Her
[ranking: 9]
It's already messed up Thanos took a baby Gamora and raised her to be his personal assassin; murdering said adopted daughter is just overkill. Yet that's precisely what the Mad Titan does in Infinity Watch. When her love Adam Warlock sets out to stop Thanos from acquiring the Soul Gems, Gamora accompanies him, ultimately facing off against her adoptive father. He slaps her down and later erases her from existence after completing the Infinity Gauntlet.
