The figure stood silently as he stared into the ongoing abyss that was the Infinity Well. He was in his Mistress' domain now. One of the few living creatures ever to grace Her hallowed halls. Most would be filled with dread and despair being in a place so permeated with death.
Thanos of Titan had never felt more at peace.
The waters of the well swirled and churned as images began to appear. Images in answer of Thanos' question.
Thanos was not like his brethren of Titan. He was different, both physically and mentally. He was an outcast.
Since childhood he had never truly belonged to their society. He never truly felt loved by his mother or father. He was shunned by the other children, all except his mother and brother, Eros. Thanos was not alone for long though. Deep in the catacombs of Titan, Thanos discovered something that would change his life forever. A shrine dedicated to the god figure whom he would become infatuated with. Mistress Death.
He began his twisted experiments then on his fellow Titans, but he did so in the secret solitude of his love's shrine. His experiments were gruesome work, and not many survived them. When more people began to go missing, Thanos' father, Mentor, investigated the crisis and discovered the culprit behind it all. Furious that his wayward son had committed such atrocities, Mentor banished his mad son. Nevermore could Thanos set foot on Titan. Mentor was too weak to do what truly needed to be done. Too weak to kill his evil offspring. And it was a weakness that would come back to haunt them all.
After a hundred years of traveling the universe learning and growing in power, Thanos returned and laid waste to Titan, bombarding the moon from orbit with a mighty starship. Sadly though he did not kill his father, for, unbeknown to the Mad Titan, Mentor and Eros were both off world at the time. His mother was not so fortunate. One of the only beings to ever show him compassion, she was killed in Thanos' attack.
Although it was never known for certain, the survivors thought his mother's death is what stayed his hand from finishing them all off. Whatever the reason behind it, Thanos stopped his attack as quickly as it had begun and departed Titan once again.
Again he traveled the cosmos, seeking knowledge and power wherever he could find it. All the while carrying out foul deeds in his dark Mistress' name. All the while trying to find a way to make his Mistress feel for him the way he felt for her...
The swirling waters of the Infinity Well finally calmed, and a single image appeared. It showed a great wall on the edge of the universe. A wall seemingly composed of beings from some long forgotten world. A wall simply permeating with power.
The Titan smiled a toothy grin,
"Ah yes, I should have known...the fabled Source Wall. The physical barrier separating the full power of The Source from this reality. If someone were to tap into that power..."
Thanos let the question trail off as he began to chuckle. The Titan's chuckle soon turned into mad laughter.
He had found the means to make his Mistress love him, and all the universe be damned. The Titan turned and began to leave the room and the Well waters went still and dark.
Thanos' quest was about to begin...
