Thanos (Heart of the Universe)

How these ratings work

This character's combat ratings are fully mapped. Every rating comes from documented feats — what they have actually been shown to do, not where fans rank them. The roster as a whole is still being worked through, so matchups can shift as opponents are researched.

If a verdict looks wrong, flag it. That is how most corrections start.

This character's ratings are fully mapped, but parts of this page are still being built — no written profile.

Rating is a score, not a position — it rises by beating strong opponents and barely moves for beating weak ones.

∞ means the feat was never written. At this scale a character isn't measured by lifting or running, so a number would mislead either way.

Canon record · encounters, feats and notes

These entries record encounters, feats and other events from the character's stories. Read each outcome with its version, sources and condition tags. Arena verdicts use the selected versions and matchup rules; a story result does not determine an arena result. This panel is for reference and does not feed the engine. The record is still being expanded.

Tags describe recorded circumstances. They do not establish that the outcome depended on those circumstances, and an untagged entry does not guarantee equal conditions. Wins and losses include team encounters where indicated. Counts cover the entries listed here, not the character's complete fight history.
