10 Thanos Quotes That Prove He’ll Always Be Marvel’s Greatest Villain

The Mad Titan, Thanos, is just as much a threatening orator as he is a force to be reckoned with.

While his strength, skill, and overall physical prowess are a big reason for this, it is the philosophy he upholds and the dialogue he uses to expound that philosophy that has helped him leave an impression on readers. Every ounce of rhetoric that leaves his lips proves to be as poetic as it is devastating.
