Marvel villainThanosand DC fully grown - badDarkseidhave been bound together throughout comics history , and their narrative even unite together in a strange way , with the peaceable retreat Thanos seeks in theInfinity Gauntletcomic and the MCU’sInfinity Waractually being the life Darkseid sought to go forth behind as the ruler of Apokolips .

The cosmic enemies of the Avengers and Justice League have plenty of things in common -Thanos was even redesignedto look more like Darkseid . However , there is one big constituent of their stories which at the same time connect them and charge out a major difference of opinion . After Thanos achieves his finish by wiping out one-half of all life inInfinity War , he settles down to inhabit a quiet living as a farmer , echo the ending ofThe Infinity Gauntlet , written by Jim Starlin with art by George Pérez and Ron Lim , where a defeated Thanos as well embrace retirement in countrified reconditeness .

Before Darkseid was the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips , he was named Uxas , and like Thanos , he was a farmer . But while the Mad Titan choose this life at the closing of his most epic missionary station , Darkseid was hold into it .   Ironically , the odd law of similarity accent a big part of what relieve oneself them the most different from each other , as Thanos merely desire order , and Darkseid wants to dominate . Whereas Darkseid once make out what it was like to be powerless , a slow down retirement sounds like a good idea to Thanos .   In the comics , Adam Warlock observes that abstruse down , Thanos make love he does n’t merit to win . In contrast , Darkseid is powered by a monstrous entitlement that will never grant him to stop , deliver the goods or lose .

If Darkseid get laid that Thanos would volitionally choose the isolation of a farmer , he would believably scoff . Clearly , their motivations for want to bring a Modern sense of order to the universe are drastically different . While Thanos is twisted , his pursuance for great power comes to a close that Darkseid ca n’t imagine until he has the full cosmos in his hands . Although the Titan is arguably deranged , the ruler of Apokolips appears much more sinister and persistent in his approach . Later comic account would drag Thanos back into the fray , butInfinity GauntletandInfinity Warmake it clean that he is capable of stepping aside in a way that thegodly Darkseid , who embodies oppression as much as seek it , can not .

It ’s a suspect coincidence that two of comics ’ most prolific intergalactic foreign potentate would portion out something like farm oeuvre . As Uxas wanted to head for the hills such a quotidian existence , Thanos strives for it to be the only thing left to do be his victory .   The idea that   Thanos’Infinity WarandInfinity Gauntletmission could have ended on a farm while   Darkseid ’s mission starts there emphasizes the similarity and differences between the two , withDarkseidpropelled forward from reconditeness to do great human activity and rule over all , andThanosseeking the same variety of powerin order to one daylight achieve some illusion of peace .
