Bleeding Cool reported on Friday that a new Avengers Alliance Spec Op based around the current Infinity event may have revealed an important character yet to appear in the series. Now who could that possibly be. Well if you have been reading the current event, you would know that Thanos is currently on a search to hunt down his son, and for some reason he does not want this son to be alive. Systematically going world to world requesting tributes of all men aged between late teens to early twenties. What do you call Thanos' son, well Thane of course, and no thats not Thane from Mass Effect. Bleeding Cool managed to get a description of the character;
"I used to be just a man. Just another healer, nobody of consequence, plying my trade among my people. And then Thanos arrived. How did I get these horrible powers? Why? Did they come from him? All I know is that just as he came to Earth, I… changed. Suddenly I had the power of life and death in my hands. But I could not control it, and the people around me paid the price. Everyone that I had once healed, everyone I knew… dead. I ran before I could kill again, only to find an even greater murderer in my path. Thanos and his lieutenants were coming… for me. This Thanos creature… what does he want from me? If I give myself up to him, will he stop killing people? Or will he just use my powers to kill even more? I need someone to help me understand what I am… what I’ve become. Is that you, Agent? Do you think you can control death itself? I doubt it. But the truth is, I have no other choice. I cannot go back to the way I was, and I cannot go to Thanos. That leaves me with you. But I warn you. Try to use my powers for evil, and I’ll show you what they can do… in abundance."
This description really does link in with the character briefly seen in New Avengers by Doctor Strange a healer in a secluded village among his people. Clearly still human at this point. If Thane as pictured above really does turn out to be the son of Thanos his powers are somewhat ironic having the power of life and death considering his father has an obsession with the latter. The Thane pictured in Avengers Alliance is clearly in his Inhuman form and considering the Terrigen Mists will soon be spread across Earth giving all Inhumans there hidden potential and powers it should not be long until we see him appear in Infinity if this is indeed the character he is believed to be.
I may be remembering this incorrectly but in an interview with a Marvel editor I am sure they mentioned that during All-New Marvel NOW! we will be seeing a new on-going series based on a completely new character. Now considering Thane's power set and his obvious integral role in Infinity, being the thing Thanos is hunting, could this new on-going series be based on this character. Do you think this Thane from Avengers Alliance is indeed the son of Thanos? I find it odd that they would release this Spec Op before the reveal within Infinity but at least we don't have long to wait to see if it is true.
