Early life
Thanos was born in Dundalk, Maryland to John Steven and Patty Thanos.
Steven was described as a mentally ill WW2 veteran who severely abused
John Thanos and even drugged his wife. Thanos was expelled from school
and spent many years in and out of prison for various crimes he
committed

At his trial he taunted the families of his victims, saying he wished
he could dig up their bodies and defile their corpses. Thanos stated:
"their cries bring laughter from the darkest caverns of my soul. I
don't believe I could satisfy my thirst yet in this matter unless I
was to be able to dig these brats' bones up out of their graves right
now and beat them into powder and urinate on them and then stir it
into a murky yellowish elixir and serve it up to their loved ones"
during his sentencing hearing for the murder of Winebrenner and
Pistorio.[1]
His attorney later said of Thanos: "What he did was reprehensible,
that's true... the other thing is he is extremely damaged. He is an
extremely damaged human being. And really, in our society we should
not kill sick people. He really is a sick person."[1]
