What are some unknown facts about Thanos?

We have already met Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and are eagerly waiting for his story to move ahead in Endgame. And all the knowledge that most of us possess about this enigmatic Marvel Universe villain is largely based on the tit-bits about him that we have been served in various Marvel movies and on the last Avengers movie.

Yet, that movie was enough for us to tell how strong and magnanimous Thanos is. Indeed, we just love to hate him and even to fear him.

There is, however, a lot that is still unknown Thanos. There are very little chances of you knowing some particular facts about Thanos if you haven’t read the Marvel comics. For example, do you know that he is also known as The Mad Titan?
