Thanatos

Thanatos is a Marvel 2099-era villain who crosses paths with both Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Man and the original Spider-Man, as well as Rick Jones, suggesting a threat that spans Marvel's present and its far future timeline.

Emerging from the bold, future-forward energy of Marvel's early '90s 2099 line, Thanatos made a striking debut in Spider-Man 2099 #11 in 1993, brought to life by the acclaimed team of Peter David and Rick Leonardi. This is a character who keeps genuinely fascinating company — sharing pages with Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Man 2099, the legendary Rick Jones, and the classic Spider-Man himself — a roster that hints at a figure who brushes up against both the far future and Marvel's storied present. Appearing across Captain Marvel and Spider-Man 2099 over a remarkable thirty-year span, Thanatos may have a modest footprint in the catalog, but any character who endures from the Copper Age into the 2020s has clearly left an impression worth investigating.
