10 Thanos Moments That Deserved To Be In The MCU

7. That Time He Lost To Squirrel Girl

Thanos The Punisher
Marvel Comics

With all the immense strength Thanos has shown, it's sometimes easy to forget he isn’t the most powerful character in the Marvel canon. No, that honour goes to none other than Squirrel Girl.

That’s right, the girl with the proportionate speed and strength of a squirrel has a proven track record of beating some of Marvel's heaviest hitters, including Doctor Doom, Galactus and of course Thanos.

The two clash in GLX Christmas special, in which Thanos arrives and threatens to drain the life of everyone on Earth. Squirrel Girl jumps into battle and defeats the Mad Titan off panel, cheating audiences out of seeing Thanos fighting an army of squirrels.

This one sells itself, to be honest. Thanos, the planet conquering demigod, taken out by a teenager and an army of squirrels.
