Every Appearance of Thanos in Marvel Comics : Part 3 : Betrayal!

The first page of issue #26 opens with the words BETRAYAL! as Captain Marvel crashes into the home of Lou-Ann demanding an explanation.

She tells Mar-Vell of Saturns moon Titan and its dictator ruler Thanos. She describes his army of “outcasts from a hundred worlds” who plot to use Earth as a stepping stone out into the galaxy.
We find out that Thanos has implanted slave discs in the minds of the leaders of Earth which means that Thanos is secretly in control of the planet.


As she tells her story, she reveals a pistol and fires at Mar-Vell. She claims that her body is acting for Thanos but her mind is still her own.

Lou-Ann and Rick Jones embrace as we cut to the shapeshifting Skrull from the previous issue.
Skragg and Super Skrull confirm to Thanos that even the words of Lou-Ann that declare herself free from control are in-fact their words. She is still a vessel of the will of Thanos.

Thing Vs Captain Marvel

Super Skrull uses his abilities to imitate any power of the Fantastic Four to become The Human Torch and fly through the city in search of Thing.

When he fires upon Thing with a fireball as powerful as that of the Torch, Thing recognises him as Super Skrull.

As he flies away, Super Skrull challenges Thing to follow him to 414 West 44th which is the address where Lou-Ann and Rick Jones are currently talking. Thing is aware that it is a trap but decides to walk straight into it.

As Thing enters the building his voice is removed by the Skrull technology.
Captain Marvel hears Thing enter the building but is not prepared to be fooled again by the Skrull shapeshifting tricks from last issue.

When he sees Thing, Mar-Vell believes it is an imposter Skrull and attacks him. Thing is unable to speak the truth so the two superheroes battle causing destruction to the buildings surrounding them.
