The universe faced with doom when archvillain Thanos the Mad Titan, in love with/obsessed with the (female) physical incarnation of Death, assembles all six “Infinity Gems,” granting him godlike power over the universe. Believing she’ll reciprocate his feelings if he delivers enough souls to her, his plan is to kill half of all living things.
