Thanos got like one friend lol if you wanna even call Adam Warlock his friend like that.Lie? Impossible since it's a subjective medium. Uninformed? Absolutely.
Right off the top you were going on about how he's basically washed without the Gauntlet when even a Wiki scan would have told you otherwise. Thanos has always been about him being the greatest intellectual juggernaut in the universe and how that level of genius has twisted his entire view of Life. He can't even relate to 99% of characters because he's so far beyond them, Reed fukking Richards said he felt like a "dullard" next to him.
It just so happens that he's got base power levels coupled with that intellect that regularly puts the universe in jeopardy. You clearly haven't followed the character.
You want something more current without the Gauntlet? Check out the Black Order & get some insight into the pure malice that sets him apart.
