    Thanos is based on Darkseid. Marvel copied DC.

    Dude, read your own link

    Starlin has admitted the character's look was influenced by Jack Kirby's Darkseid:


    Kirby had done the New Gods, which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said: "Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good one!"[2]

    Why does it have to be a competition?

    Sigh!

    Don't we all win if both make good to great movies?
