I. Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this is my first FAQ and I really don't know how to begin it so Im
going to begin by saying that I don't know how to begin it. Anyway, over the
past couple of months I've become a complete Marvel vs Capcom 2 maniac. I've
searched far and wide for any news what so ever on Marvel vs Capcom 2. I've
seen a million screen shots, about 30 movies, a few wallpapers (I have an
awesome one on my comp now) and have read as many previews and reviews and
other stuff. I've even read all the other character FAQ's on this site before
I even thought of making my own. But I just felt I needed to contribute to
the greatness of M vs C 2. So I'm doing it through GameFAQ's with a character
FAQ. Now the next thing I needed to decide is who? My favorite guys in the
game are the mutated freaks so I looked down the list and Thanos was my pick,
1, because he's never been mentioned in anything I've read on M vs C 2 and 2,
because he's awesome. Anyway.....

III. Legend
--------------------------------------------------------------
My legend is a bit different from most other FAQ's but I find it a lot
easier. Some other FAQ's that I read and printed out had the legend take up
an entire page so I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I don't use
QCF, QCB, etc. for down forward moves. I doubt anyone is actually goona press
down, take a 1 second pause and then press forward and a punch/kick.

Biography
-----------------------------
Real Name - Thanos
Alias - None
Height - 6 foot 7
Weight - 985 lb.lbs.
First Appearance - Iron Man #55
Previous vs Appearances - Marvel Super Heroes
Brief History - Thanos is an Eternal, a race of almost immortal
beings who lived on the moon of Saturn called
Titan. Thanos' father saw his evil intentions
of taking over and exiled him from this planet.
Years later Thanos came back with his henchmen
and took over Titan which led to him attempting
to take over the universe. Using his psionic
and cosmic destructive abilities he almost did
take over the universe which he captured all
six Infinity Gems but was stopped (that's the
storyline of Marvel Super Heroes). Thanos still
remains a threat to many including Warlock and
Silver Surfer but yet has he fulfilled his
dream.

V. Moves
--------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------
Special Moves
-----------------------------
Titan Crush - Down, Forward, Punch (air)
- Thanos simply raises his hand up follow by a
quick three punches. Can't really get a 10 line
explanation out of this one. Nothing fancy at
all really.
Death Sphere - Down, Forward, Kick
- Ok so it doesn't cause that much death but
it's still a cool name and an effective way to
start a real mean combo. Thanos winds up for a
punch but instead traps the opponent in sort of
a bubble things rendering him helpless for
the next 3 seconds or so. Great for combo
starters.
-----------------------------
Hyper Combos
-----------------------------
Gauntlet Power - Down, Forward, PP
- Thanos raises his fist up high as he charges
up. The four little orbs circle around his
fist signaling for a Dragon Ball Z-like move.
He then, in a punching motion, throws a huge
fireball taking up three quarters of the
screen at the opponent. Unblockable if in the
middle of a combo otherwise pretty easy to
block. Takes a good 25% percent off your
average opponent.
Gauntlet Soul - Down, Back, KK
- Like his other super setups, he raises his
fist up high with 4 tiny orbs surrounding his
fist. Then the screen flashes and a picture
of his mug pops up taking up half the screen.
Then a lighting like beam shoots out of his
fist and chases the opponent. If he misses,
the beam will try to hit the opponent for a
couple of seconds and then stop but if it
connects it zaps the opponent and takes a
good 20% off the average fighter.
Gauntlet Reality - Down, Back, PP
- Thanos as usual raises his clutched fist high
in the air cleverly hiding his super charge.
Then the orbs float around and Thanos' freakish
face pops up. Then two huge slabs of rock
surround the opponent and smash against each
other, crushing the opponent. Pretty easy to
dodge but does about 30% damage on the average
fighter. All power moves for this guy.
Gauntlet Space - Down, Forward, KK
- You have a pretty good idea by now of what
happens at the beginning of the super. Anyway,
after the starting sequence two meteor showers
fall out of a huge portal opened up by Thanos
on the top of the screen. The first one falls
by him (no it doesn't hurt him) and the second
one falls over the enemy. Can do anywhere from
1 to 20% damage.

Assists
-----------------------------
Alpha - Death Sphere / Gauntlet Power (see above)
Beta - Titan Crush / Gauntlet Reality (see above)
Gamma - ?/Nothing / Gauntlet Space (see above)
-----------------------------
Combos
-----------------------------
Infinite Combo - HK, Death Sphere, HK, Death Sphere, HK,
Death Sphere, HK, Death Sphere, HK, Death
Sphere, HK, Death Sphere, HK, Death
Sphere,......
- You get the point. You can do some serious
damage to your opponent and your hand if you
can pull this one off. It really gets
annoying because the damage you do to your
opponent decreases as you juggle him/her and
is a real thumb killer but it's a cheap way
to beat your opponents best guy when your in
a real jam. As for how the combo looks it's
simply a kick to the face followed by the
Death Sphere followed by a kick to the face
followed by the Death Sphere followed by a
kick to the face followed by the Death
Sphere followed by......
Wine Killer - HK, Death Sphere, repeat until tired or
opponent says "stop being cheap", Titan Crush,
Gauntlet Power
- Ok, the name is cheezy as hell but it lives up
to it's name. 90% of the time you do the
infinite \ combo you either get a "cheapo" from
your fellow humanoid or a soar thumb. So if you
have this situation, don't just stop, give 'em
a few shots before you go. Simply give him the
'ol Titan Crush and a Gauntlet Power to go. As
for how it looks, multiple kick to the face
Death Sphere combinations followed by a few
quick punches to the face and a huge fireball.
Triple Super - Jump Forward, LK, HK, LP, Ducking LK, Gauntlet
Power, Gauntlet Power, Gauntlet Soul
- Thanos leaps into action with a series of
kicks and punches followed by two devastating
Gauntlet Powers and a Gauntlet Soul to go.
Takes a good 75% health off of the average Joe
and will usually result in your opponent being
stupified by an awesome combo that's not
totally cheap. In the combo above, if you were
playing against another person and tried to do
it, he would eventually punch you in the face
or swat your controller / joystick away and
take full advantage of your broken hands. As
for how it looks, a usual punch-kick combo
with two huge balls and a lighting bolt coming
out of Thanos' clutched fist.
Anything Combo - Jump Forward, LK, HK, LP, LP + LK (air combo
start), anything
- The reason I put anything is there is about
20 combinations of combos you can use
beginning with everything before "anything".
Try to create your own devastating combos or
add this to the start of your combo to make
it even more effective. Mix and match, slab
and slurp, grab and glurp (sorry I had to
say that) do anything, but my advice is not
to try stuff on the taller guys because it
most likely wont work on smaller guys. As
for how it looks it's all up to you.
