10 Laziest Comic Book Villains
5. Thanos
Alright, so this entry is a little bit of a cheat as we're going to talk about the MCU's iteration of Thanos, rather than his comic counterpart. The Mad Titan is bursting at the seams with strength, but throughout the Infinity Saga, he rarely flexed a muscle.
From day one, his plan was less about doing anything and more about getting everyone to do it for him. Sending Loki down to Earth to steal the Tesseract for him was a pretty stupid move.
Ronin The Accuser was maybe a better bet when it came to the Power Stone, but still failed in his task. Yet realistically, if Thanos had put in the leg work himself, he would have had the stones much quicker.
We see Thanos make short work of the Hulk while barely using the stones, so it's not as if he would have been beaten if he did the work himself.
However, the Titan was much happier sat on his throne, while sending lackeys out to do his bidding.
