She and her husband Corvus form a powerful team in combat, though their weapons can be turned against one another. During the final battle in Infinity, she’s even able to transform the Hulk back into a surprised Bruce Banner.
Like Corvus’ glaive, her weapon of choice is a powerful artifact forged by Thanos, and contains the energy of an exploding star. She also holds her own against an entire team of Avengers thanks to her spear. In Infinity, she is initially described as the cruelest member of the Black Order, but she’s actually the most measured and diplomatic of the team, accepting Namor’s surrender when she attacks a war-weary Atlantis.
Other than her blue skin, she could easily pass as human, wearing a goofy pronged helmet that would make Galactus proud. With Supergiant gone, Proxima Midnight is the sole female member of the Black Order. Proxima Midnight throwing her spear in Avengers: Infinity War. While Maw may be used as the religious mouthpiece for welcoming our new alien overlords, Corvus will probably still be the one to lead Thanos’ genetically engineered army of Outriders and throw down with the Avengers while trading some nasty barbs. In the Infinity comic, Corvus travels to various worlds as Thanos’ most loyal emissary and herald, but in an interview with JOE.ie, Infinity War co-director Joe Russo suggested that honor may have been given to Ebony Maw. Every good villain team needs a classic sadist. He’s cruel and arrogant, and delights in the suffering of others. But Corvus’ defining feature is a deliciously evil flair for the dramatic. He’s a capable melee fighter with a unique glaive - that’s a pole arm with a blade on the end of it - that slices through atoms and grants him immortality, as long as the glaive remains whole. While ultimately answering to Thanos himself, Corvus could be considered the leader of the Black Order.

Marvel Studios/Disney Corvus Glaiveĭraped in black robes, with pale skin and sharp teeth, Corvus Glaive looks like he wandered off a Lord of the Rings set. Let’s take a look at the four members of the Black Order, the Avengers’ primary foes in Infinity War - aside from the big man himself. And judging by a few clips in the trailers, we’ll be seeing more of Thanos in flashbacks to Gamora’s backstory, necessary exposition for a character who has thus far done little more than sit on a chair and dramatically put on a gauntlet. Both Gamora and Nebula were raised, and genetically enhanced, by Thanos himself. There’s been one more big change in the move to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Marvel has introduced the Black Order under the name “Children of Thanos,” potentially linking them to two members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s an easy cut - even though her eventual defeat at the hands of Lockjaw, the teleporting Inhuman dog, remains one of the best highlights of the comic. Supergiant’s role in Infinity was mainly to attack the X-Men, and her powers of mind control overlap with Ebony Maw’s. Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung/Marvel Comicsįor Avengers: Infinity War, the roster has been reduced to four, and one member has gotten a name change: Black Dwarf now goes by Cull Obsidian, while Supergiant has been cut completely. Bottom (left to right): Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, Ebony Maw and Supergiant. They all also sport suitably ominous, spacey names: Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, Supergiant and Black Dwarf. The five members of his Black Order refer to one another as siblings and spouses, and serve as Thanos’ vanguards, generals and agents during Infinity. In the comics, the Black Order subscribes to Thanos’ almost religious obsession with Death herself, who, in the Marvelverse, is personified as a powerful interdimensional being.
Obsidian cull movie#
Instead, the film will be introducing movie audiences to the Black Order on the big screen. Infinity’s plot is much more about Thanos attacking our planet because of his long-lost Inhuman son than collecting the Infinity Stones, so it doesn’t look like much of its story will be used in Avengers: Infinity War.
Thanos’ anti-Avengers squad was introduced in Marvel Comics’ 2013 Infinity event (written by Jonathan Hickman), in which Thanos launched a full-scale invasion of Earth while most of the Avengers were off-planet dealing with a different intergalactic threat. What’s a mad Titan to do?Įnter the Black Order. Earth is lousy with superpowered people, many with the power to practically (and some, literally) rewrite existence (looking at you, Scarlet Witch). Yet he even he knows that one does not simply walk into Mordor invade the Earth. Thanos is one of the biggest badasses of the Marvel universe.
