The biggest threat that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen yet, Thanos, has a bevy of powerful children, but arguably the most dangerous member of the Black Order failed to be adapted for the movies. Anyone who has seen Infinity War and Endgame should be familiar with the likes of Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, and the rest of the Black Order family comprised of Thanos' adopted children.

Their downfalls proved that their efforts weren't enough, but they certainly gave the heroes a fight to remember.

However, the movies left out one member of the Children of Thanos from the comics - the mind-controlling villain Supergiant. Supergiant is an omnipath who can read and control the mind of any living being, and also boasts phasing powers that grant her immunity to physical harm.
