Josh Brolin. The character has appeared in other Marvel- endorsed products, including animated television series, arcade, and video games. Writer- artist Jim Starlin originally conceived of Thanos of Titan during college psychology classes. As Starlin described: I went to college between doing U. S. military service and getting work in comics, and there was a psych class and I came up with Thanos .. Drax the Destroyer, but I'm not sure how he fit into it, just anger management probably. So I came up to Marvel and [editor] Roy [Thomas] asked if I wanted to do an issue of Iron Man.

I felt that this may be my only chance ever to do a character, not having the confidence that my career was going to last anything longer than a few weeks. So they got jammed into it. Thanos was a much thinner character and Roy suggested beefing him up, so he's beefed up quite a bit from his original sketches .. I liked beefing him up so much that he continued to grow in size.[1]Starlin has admitted the character is influenced by Jack Kirby's Darkseid: Kirby had done the New Gods, which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that.

You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron- like chair and said: "Beef him up!

If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good one!"[2]Publication history[edit]Thanos' first appearance was in Iron Man #5. Feb. 1. 97. 3), featuring a story by Jim Starlin that was scripted by Mike Friedrich.
