According to reports, actor Benecio Del Toro has been cast in Marvel Studios' "Guardians Of The Galaxy", as a character that some are speculating is a a 'cosmic' super-powered villain feared throughout the Marvel Universe:
The super-villain characters are either 'Ronan The Accuser' or 'Thanos'. Thanos first appeared in Marvel Comics' "Iron Man" #55 (Feb. 1973), created by writer-illustrator Jim Starlin. The character has since appeared in over 30 years of Marvel Comics continuity as well as in a dedicated, self-titled series.
He was born on Titan, a moon of the planet Saturn, to 'Mentor' and 'Sui-San'. Due to a genetic quirk, he was born with the 'Deviant' gene and as such resembles the 'Deviants' — the cousin race of the 'Eternals' — more than his own people.
Maturing to adulthood, and via the use of bionics and mysticism, Thanos augmented his abilities to become the most powerful of the Titanian-born Eternals, and is often referred to as the 'Mad Titan'.
Bitter at being an outsider, Thanos becomes fascinated with nihilism and begins a nuclear bombardment of Titan that kills millions, before traveling to Earth.
Thanos is capable of superhuman strength, stamina and durability, able to absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy that can obliterate planets.
He is also virtually immortal, with no need for food, drink, or oxygen and capable of telekinesis, telepathy and matter manipulation.
