9. Surprising Speed
Marvel ComicsThanos doesn't possess the ability to zip around at super-speed like Superman, Quicksilver or the Flash, but what he does possess is a surprisingly sprightly set of reflexes - to the extent that he can react to attacks by the faster-than-light Silver Surfer. Indeed, in general, Thanos regularly beats down characters who are extremely fast. The fact that he could even see and comprehend the Runner (arguably the fastest character in all of fiction) when the cheeky Elder of the Universe was racing around him - and attempt to aim shots at him - is evidence of extreme speed on the part of Thanos in itself. Believe us, that's an absolutely astonishing feat - the Runner can cross entire galaxies in the tiniest fractions of nanoseconds. Thanos is never going to attack you at superspeed but, if you try to attack him, he has the speed and agility to dodge or block you with ease. Those relatively slow Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes - including Quicksilver himself - should definitely be taking heed of that warning.
