Who Is In Thanos' Black Order? And Ranking Their Power

Thanos, although being the most fearsome antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Infinity War Saga, does not fight alone. He delegated some chores to others, such as Loki or Ronan, but he also has his own enforcers, the Black Order, who serve him with cultish loyalty. Thanos adopts the Children of Thanos from the races he slaughtered, and they follow him on his mission to collect the Infinity Stones.
nullThe MCU edition of the Black Order is substantially weaker than its comic book counterparts since they are mostly hurdles for the heroes to face. Despite this, they pose a danger to the Avengers and their allies. They might have benefited from a bit more development, especially in Avengers: Endgame.

1. Gamora And Nebula

nullGamora and Nebula are not technically part of the Black Order. Nevertheless, given the MCU's alterations to the group, they could have been members at one point. They, like the others, are Thanos' adoptive children. Gamora and Nebula were raised as extremely competent cybernetic implants modified assassins and may be fearsome fighters. Gamora has been dubbed the galaxy's deadliest woman, and Nebula is the one who manages to thwart the Avengers' plot and pave the way for Thanos' arrival in 2023.

2. Ebony Maw

nullEbony Maw, the Black Order's most prominent figure, appears in New York during his battle with Iron Man and Doctor Strange. Both Iron Man and Spider-Man are easily kept at bay by his tremendous telekinesis. Despite a short team-up between Wong and Doctor Strange redirecting Maw's own attack onto him, he effortlessly brushes it off. He renders the Sorcerer Supreme unconscious, then transports him to his spaceship, where he tortures him in the hopes of obtaining the Time Stone.

3. Supergiant

nullIn the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Supergiant is completely absent. That might have been due to the fact that she is far too powerful for the protagonists to effectively resist. Supergiant is a mental parasite that can control several hosts and absorb the mind of her prey. She is an exceptionally strong omnipath. She's also nearly impervious to harm and possesses the ability to phase through anything.

4. Cull Obsidian

nullCull Obsidian, also known as Black Dwarf, is an almost unbeatable opponent because of his incredible endurance and strength. His abilities transfer to the MCU versions to some extent, although they are much weakened. His confrontation with Iron Man demonstrates his physical strength, but he rarely makes clever use of his powers, making him a far less dangerous menace to the heroes. In Wakanda, he has a similar encounter with Bruce Banner, as Banner's Hulkbuster would normally be unable to keep up with the Black Dwarf's capacity.

5. Corvus Glaive

nullCorvus Glaive, Proxima's adopted brother, and partner, gets his moniker from the remarkable command of his chosen weapon. He ambushes Wanda and Vision in Scotland during Avengers: Infinity War, slashing the android from behind and preventing him from phasing. The other Avengers join in the subsequent fight, and Black Widow critically injures Glaive. He is not hindered by his ailment.

6. Proxima Midnight

nullIn Avengers: Infinity War, the vicious Proxima Midnight makes her debut appearance, among the other Children of Thanos who take part in the attack on the Asgardian Statesman. She and Corvus Glaive track down Vision and Wanda Maximoff in the aftermath. Her dexterity and endurance allow her to launch savage attacks on Wanda, who barely manages to defend herself at the last possible minute.
