Beginning April 27, 2018 fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be introduced to the Black Order in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. The Black Order is Thanos’ special group of alien assassins that he sends into different planets to conquer and destroy. The team consists of six members, Corvus Glaive, Supergiant, Black Dwarf, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw and Black Swan. Only four of those members will appear in Infinity War, here are the four ready to make their debut appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Corvus Glaive

Corvus Glaive is Thanos’ first-in-command of the Black Order. Whenever a planet is chosen for Thanos to conquer, Glaive is the first to make contact. He usually demands a tribute for Thanos by the inhabitants and if they don’t comply then they will be destroyed.

As the leader of Thanos’ armies, he is a master tactician, fighter and even more dangerous when wielding his glaive. Corvus’ glaive has the ability to cut through anything because it splits atoms.

He also has superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance, and he is practically immortal. He can be killed but only if the blade of his glaive is broken. As long as the blade remains intact Corvus can’t die, even if his head is chopped off or he is burned to ashes.

Ebony Maw

Although Ebony Maw may not be as physically gifted as his other Order members, he is very strategic and a hyper-intelligent super genius. Maw has the power to persuade almost anyone to do his bidding just by whispering.

Much like Doctor Strange, he dabbles in the supernatural and can take hold of a person’s thought process in order to manipulate them any way he pleases. Teleportation is another weapon in Ebony Maw’s arsenal, as well as some hand to hand combat skills.

Proxima Midnight

Proxima Midnight is the wife of Corvus Glaive and one of the best fighters in Thanos’ army. Her spear is highly dangerous due to its initial construction. The Mad Titan forged it from a sun trapped between the three phases of being a star, supernova and blackhole all at once in distorted space-time.

Due to the spears unique conditions it can change density at Proxima’s will and harnesses the energy of an exploding sun. A toxin flows through it with the ability to kill moments after contact.

Like her husband Corvus Glaive, Proxima has superhuman strength, superhuman speed, superhuman endurance, and is invulnerable to most attacks.

Black Dwarf

Black Dwarf is to Thanos, what the Hulk is to the Avengers except Thanos has control over Black Dwarf. He is a raging powerhouse who can take on an army by himself. His skin is unbreakable and super strength is comparable to some of the strongest beings in the universe.

Unfortunately, he is not the greatest military strategist unlike his brother Corvus Glaive. Black Dwarf is simply the muscle of the operation but his power is not something that should ever be overlooked. Especially when he is wielding his giant double-bladed axe in battle.
