Where Did Thanos Come from?

A native of the planet Titan, Thanos saw the danger his people were in from overpopulation and suggested a severe solution—the elimination of half the population, at random and without prejudice, in order to make life better for the planet as a whole.

How was Thanos created?

He was created by writer-artist Jim Starlin, and made his first appearance in The Invincible Iron Man #55 (cover dated February 1973). An Eternal–Deviant warlord from the moon Titan, Thanos is regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.

Where did Thanos first appear?

Thanos (played by Damion Poitier and credited as "Man #1") first appears in a post-credits scene of The Avengers, where he is revealed as the Other's master and Loki's benefactor, who sent the latter to Earth to obtain the Tesseract.
