"Captain, how did you stay so firm in your convictions? I feel so tired..." The team's newest member, the young man called Spider-Man, sought Thanos's advice.
Thanos thought highly of the young man. He had brains, ability, and a heart that never gave up.
Looking down at him, he patted Spider-Man on the shoulder. The boy was a little thin, but his shoulders were strong enough to seem capable of bearing a mountain.
"Remember my words, Peter Parker. With great power comes great responsibility..."
Thanos combined his own experiences with Captain America's ideals and explained them to Spider-Man in concise terms. He reinforced his own convictions, while Spider-Man found enlightenment. Both of them enjoyed this way of talking.
"Captain, I have to interrupt your teaching mode. There's trouble at the intersection of Broadway and 23rd Street. Spider-Woman is calling for help... Oh! I see it! It's Abomination Blonsky. They need backup!" Falcon's voice came through the Avengers' dedicated communicator into Thanos's ear.
"I'm coming right away!" Without another word, Thanos quickly gathered Daredevil, Spider-Man, Vision, and She-Thor and headed for the scene.
By the time the five arrived, Abomination had already defeated Spider-Woman, Wasp, and Hercules. He was now gripping Falcon by the throat.
"Avengers, assemble!"
Holding Captain America's shield, Thanos shouted the Avengers' slogan and charged forward at the head of the group. The sturdy shield smashed straight into Blonsky's face. The monster injected with Hulk genes staggered two steps, then threw a backhanded punch at Thanos's cheek.
To avoid damaging the street and surrounding buildings, Thanos had to restrain his strength. The fight was difficult as a result. Blonsky landed several punches in a row, leaving his nose and mouth bleeding and his body covered in wounds.
