10 Characters Who May Kill Thanos In Avengers: Endgame

1. Thanos

This is when this list gets oddly philosophical by saying that the biggest threat to Thanos is Thanos himself. This may sound strange on the surface, but truth be told, it isn't too hard to imagine. After all, Thanos was his own downfall in the comic books. Or, rather, it was his own hubris that vanquished the beast.

In the original Infinity Gauntlet comic that the MCU's Thanos arc is based on, The Mad Titan was obsessed with becoming the most powerful being in the universe. He achieved that goal after donning the Infinity Gauntlet, yet he still wanted to become more powerful. To become beyond powerful, he allows his consciousness to leave his body in hopes of becoming an astral being. In doing so, this allows Nebula to take the Gauntlet off of the Titan's unconscious body and defeat him.

There may not be a direct parallel to this in Endgame, but if the purple giant is as obsessed with power as he appears to be, it may not be that far off from happening.
