In Avengers: Final Battle, we saw that Thanos uses a double-edged knife. The shape of this knife is very domineering, with a handle in the middle and blades on both sides. Since it can be called Thanos’ weapon, There must be something special about this knife. According to speculation, this double-edged knife might have been created by a god. In "Guardians of the Galaxy", Kolas described Thanos as "the most powerful being in the universe." Although he obviously exaggerated a bit, but according to the performance of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, it proved that he was not wrong. Thanos defeated the Hulk effortlessly, without even using the power of the rough, and in the Avengers: Final Battle, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America teamed up with the three giants, and did not fight Thanos. Only two Marvel heroes, Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel seem to be able to threaten him.
To some extent, Thanos is a real warrior. The armor and weapons he wears are very suitable for his fighting style. Thanos is already an existence with a physical attack ability close to full marks. With his armor, it can receive Thor's lightning without receiving any damage. The sword matches the power. As a melee weapon, Thanos uses its wide double-edged sword to block attacks; the length of the double-edged sword allows him to launch more powerful attacks and easily knock down the enemy.
But in fact, Thanos’ sword in Avengers: Endgame is a mysterious weapon. His existence was not revealed in previous works. For Marvel, who has always been good at digging pits and burying eggs, this It seems even more mysterious. Although there is no explanation of its origin, it is obviously very powerful and may surpass any other weapon seen in MCU so far, so what is its source? The powerful power of the
Thanos double-edged sword is finally demonstrated by comparing it with Thor’s two weapons, Thor’s Hammer and Storm Axe, both of which were created on the planet Nidavellir. "This place is a legend," the Rockets happily announced when Thor mentioned Nidavellir. "They made the most powerful and terrifying weapon, which will torture the universe forever." More importantly, as impressive as the Thor's Hammer built by Nidavellir, the Storm Axe should be the most powerful created by Nidavellir dwarves. One of the weapons. According to Eitri, it was designed to be the king's weapon and is the greatest weapon in Asgard. It can summon the Rainbow Bridge, which means that it may have the ability to destroy the entire planet, and in Reunion 3 it was proven to be able to resist the beams projected from all six infinite stones at the same time, and hit Thanos with an overwhelming force. However, Thanos’ sword is superior to Thor’s Hammer, at least equal to the Storm’s Axe; he can block Thor’s attacks with his weapon and easily defeat the Storm’s Axe.
is perhaps even more surprising that he can use a blade to break Captain America's shield into pieces, which was a shield that could not be broken or bent before. Frankly speaking, this is undoubtedly the most impressive and powerful melee weapon in the MCU to date, much more powerful than anything Nidavellir's dwarves have ever created. Thanos must have obtained it from other more special places.
Although MCU has adjusted Thanos’ role and motivation from the source, his origin seems to be accurate. In the comics, Thanos’ Titan Home is a colony of Eternals, which is an evolutionary branch of humans created by a powerful race called Celestials. Eternals have superhuman abilities, comparable to any Asgard (even the best), and their technology is ahead of their celestial creators than any other civilization.

MCU is obsessed with collecting infinite rough stones and assumes a similar eternal origin. This obsession may also mean that he is also focused on the Celestial race. Just like the "Guardians of the Galaxy"As revealed in, the gods are the earliest famous masters of infinite rough stones, they use rough stones to adjust the whole world.
MCU cleverly redesigned the gods, and its last survivor, Yi Ge, was introduced into the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. In the MCU, the Celestials are essentially energy, which can manipulate matter at the molecular level to create anything they want. So it can easily create a sword beyond anything.
All these put forward the possibility that Thanos’ sword originated from the gods, which is a weapon designed by the gods. Thanos’ pursuit of the Infinite Stone will naturally lead him to an active world in the history of the gods, and may even be the planet where they live and die. Thanos will definitely be fascinated by celestial weapons, train yourself to master it.
Frankly speaking, there is nothing to oppose this theory; it is more convincing than shield destruction, storm-stopping battle axe.
What’s interesting is that Thanos’ double-edged sword was only used by Thanos five years ago. In Infinite War, Thanos did not use his armor. According to Marvel’s explanation, they did this deliberately. It's because they want to show that after Thanos collects more and more rough stones, he will become stronger and stronger, so that he does not need to use the power of armor.
Similarly, Thanos will not think that he needs to carry his sword. Avengers: Infinity War began with Thanos, who already had rough power, and he used it to shoot down refugee ships in Asgard; he took it for granted that a group of civilians would not pose a threat. Once he obtains the space stone, he is already collecting one-third of all infinite stones, so he may not feel that he needs another weapon. And he was right: even though it was a very close thing, the goal he did accomplish was to gently wipe half of the life in the universe with his fingers.
