    Thanatos is the name of the Greek god/personification of the moment of death. Freud (lol fraud) would’ve been using that name as everyone reading his work would have been familiar with The Illiad and other works featuring Thanatos.

      It’s where Thanos got his name too.

      In the OG comics his only motivation was to impress Death because he was in love with her. So he killed as many people for no other reason.

      I think Death just loved Deathpool instead tho, because he was what she could never have?

      Anyways, all the OG nerds learned about Thanatos from Venture Bros:
