Infinity War: Marvel reveals the original name of Thanos

At this point, no follower escapes the powerful figure of Thanos. But what is beneath that evil and horrifying facade?

It will finally reach Infinity War to put the Marvel Avengers on the edge of the abyss and wage the great war for which they have been preparing for more than ten years (and 18 films). At this point, no follower escapes the powerful figure of Thanos. But what is beneath that evil and horrifying facade? Well, to begin with, a hidden name: the one that his mother almost puts in the place that everyone knows.

This secret of the Crazy Titan has been revealed in the number 14 of the comics of Thanos, signed by the writer Donny Clay Cates and the artist Geoffrey Shaw. When Thanos goes to the hidden corners of the cosmos to demonstrate that he is indestructible, he finds himself by surprise with his greatest enemy so far: himself.

The current Thanos is then faced with a future version of himself, thousands of years apart. That Thanos has destroyed the entire cosmos and sits on a throne as the unique King of the universe. Old Thanos begs for help from his youngest self and, to be loved, reveals something that only he could know: his name cradle.

"Dione." That was the name that Thanos's biological mother was going to give her son at first. All this before, yes, that "his mind was destroyed" and opted for the definitive and official name of Thanos instead, according to ScreenRant.

Some media reported that the name Thanos was not his real name, which several fans of comics strongly opposed on social networks. "No. It's not, Dione is how her mother was going to call him, the name she had chosen before seeing him, but she went crazy and called him Thanos," said one of the tweets.
