Every Confirmed Race Thanos Wiped Out Before Infinity War

Thanos made his first proper appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Infinity War, but before that, he had already created a lot of chaos and destruction, and wiped out the populations of a couple of planets – either partially or entirely – before he got the Infinity Stones. The MCU began in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, which introduced Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and set the tone for the subsequent movies. After introducing Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Captain America, all heroes joined forces in The Avengers, which also teased the arrival of Thanos in its mid-credits scene.

Thanos appeared again (with a different design) in Guardians of the Galaxy, where he was working closely with villain Ronan the Accuser as his quest for the Infinity Stones had already begun. His next appearance was in the post-credits scene of Avengers: Age of Ultron, where he put on the Infinity Gauntlet (and created a plot hole in the process) saying “Fine, I’ll do it myself”. However, the MCU focused more on the stories of its heroes and left Thanos’ journey aside, and he finally served as a proper character in the story in Avengers: Infinity War, where he got all the Infinity Stones and achieved his goal of wiping out half of life in the universe with the snap of his fingers.

Thanos returned in Avengers: Endgame, where he was killed in the first minutes, but thanks to the time heist, Thanos of the past made it to the present, and he arrived with a big army. Not everything Thanos did between The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame has been revealed, and among the bits that are known is that he killed a lot of people during his quest to find the Infinity Stones, and didn’t hesitate in destroying entire races. Here’s every confirmed race Thanos wiped out before Avengers: Infinity War.

Asgardians

During the events of Thor: Ragnarok, the Asgardians were forced to leave their home planet as a result of the merging of the Crown of Surtur with the Eternal Flame, which unleashed Ragnarok. However, the Asgardian refugee ship was intercepted by Thanos and the Black Order at the end of Thor: Ragnarok and beginning of Avengers: Infinity War as the Mad Titan was looking for the Infinity Stones, and the Tesseract (which contained the Space Stone) was on board. A massive fight ensued, killing half of the surviving Asgardians, as well as Loki and Heimdall, who used his remaining energy to open the Bifrost and send the Hulk to Earth. The remaining Asgardians, along with Korg and Miek, made it to Earth and settled in Tønsberg, Norway, building what’s now known as New Asgard.

Zehoberei

Zen-Whoberi is the home planet of the Zehoberei species, a race of green-skinned beings. The planet was overpopulated, which caused it to be on the brink of collapse as residents were poor and many children were homeless. It all got worse when Thanos, the Chitauri army, and the Black Order arrived, as they proceeded to destroy half of the planet’s population – the planet, however, was saved, and according to Thanos became a “paradise”, which only added to his idea of bringing balance by killing half the population of the universe. Zen-Whoberi was the home planet of Gamora, who was a young girl when Thanos invaded the planet. Gamora’s parents were killed during the massacre, but Thanos was drawn to her and ended up adopting her and training her to be one of his assassins. Gamora eventually learned what Thanos did, and was no longer loyal to him.

Kylosians

The Kylosians are a warrior race native to the planet Kylos. Very little is known about Kylosian culture, and all that’s known is thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, as Drax is a Kylosian. As seen with Drax, Kylosians take everything literally, and they possess incredible strength and durability thanks to their thick skin. Kylos was one of Thanos’ stops on his mission to bring balance to the universe, though this time, his armies were led by Ronan. Just like they did with the Zehoberei, they murdered half of the Kylosian population, among them Drax’s wife and daughter. Because of that, Drax sought revenge for their deaths and became a criminal.

Xandarians

Xandar was introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy and was the home planet of the Xandarians. They were indistinguishable from humans from the outside, but their eyes had different colors and they were more durable. The destruction of Xandar was originally part of the deal between Thanos and Ronan: the Kree villain was going to get the Orb, which contained the Power Stone, for Thanos, and the Mad Titan would destroy Xandar. Things didn’t go according to plan, and the Power Stone was never delivered to Thanos, so Xandar lived – for a while. The Orb with the Power Stone was kept within the Nova Corps HQ in Xandar after Ronan’s defeat, so Xandar became one of Thanos’ targets. Thanos and the Black Order invaded Xandar and destroyed the Nova Corps in order to retrieve the Orb, while the rest of his army killed half of the Xandarian population.

Nidavellir Dwarves

Nidavellir is a neutron star, home to the Dwarves, and also one of the Nine Realms. One of the Dwarves’ main activities was to serve as blacksmiths, and it was here where Thor’s famous hammer, Mjolnir, was created. Thanos arrived at Nidavellir to demand that a device would be forged for him. This had to be capable of harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones, and so Eitri complied, hoping his people would be spared from Thanos’ wrath. Now with a newly forged Gauntlet, Thanos murdered the entire population of Nidavellir, only letting Eitri live – however, he wasn’t unharmed, as Thanos destroyed his hands. Thor, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot traveled there to build Stormbreaker, and Eitri told everything that happened to the God of Thunder.
