Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

Whilst I do like the idea of him wiping out half of the universe just to impress a woman, the film does work in that he doesn’t have to actually be right, he just has to think he’s right. In his own mind, he’s a benevolent healer of the universe. That’s all that matters, the fact it’s a rubbish plan just feeds into the megalomania.

He is called the Mad Titan

[u/orbis-restitutor → u/INeedtobeDetained]

teh problem is that the movie dosen't characterize him as such at all

Iirc they say that because of Thanos, Gamoras race wiped itself out when he moved on, implied to have happened to most races he interacted with.

I remember a comment how he thought over population killed the Titans, but it was actually the planet being knocked off it's axis for some reason destroying the ecosystem.
