Who is Corvus Glaive? - Thanos' Regional Manager

in this video I'm going to tell you the story of corvis glaive the leader of thanos's black order and the black order member with the most deaths so while most of the rest of the members of the black order first appeared in Infinity number one kvis glaive actually appeared in the Free Comic Book Day Infinity preview issue I'm not really sure how to describe this every important story thing in that issue is also in Infinity like this little story that he comes from is there too it's written by Jonathan Hickman thir by Jim Chung Mark Morales Justin ponor and Joe car I would say corvus is maybe the most straightforward member of the black order he is the scary evil spindly looking one his name corvis glaive corvis is I think the scientific term for Crow or the species of birds that crows and ravens I believe are both part of glaive is the weapon that he carries he is a guy who loves to kill he's also very smart he thanos's lead tactician he's an incredibly skilled fighter without his magic glaive and the glaive gives him a couple of powers which we'll get to he shows up with rest of these guys in the infinity book where Thanos is looking for his son th he goes to find him they fight The Avengers corvis is killed corvis gets completely destroyed except his glaive is not destroyed as far as origin we don't know a ton about any of these guys although we might know him the most about corvis glaive he was a member of an alien race who when Thanos showed up betrayed his alien race to ascend to a seed of power in thanos's Army he and the rest of these guys do this too but he speaks about it the most views Thanos as a god everything he's doing he's doing because God is there telling him to do it as opposed to say Black Swan who's just kind of along for the ride corvis describes himself as black dorf or C obsidian's brother and I believe C obsidian also uses that word however sometimes characters are described in this way when talking about Thanos where you're a daughter of Thanos it's like this kind of adopted daughter the same way that you would maybe describe like a nun as a sister or something like that I'm not what I what I guess I'm saying is I'm not incredibly clear on whether these characters are actually brothers like they are they were born and raised together or they just both showed up at thanos's army around the same time they obviously don't look very much like each other but they do function as sort of a family especially this three corvis black dwarf AKA Co obsidian and Proxima midnight Proxima midnight is corvis gla's wife he is married I don't know what that means I if he has like a ring he went through a ceremony they went to like a priest like The Universal Church of Truth or something for the Guardians of the Galaxy Comics I don't know but whatever it is he is technically married to her which is funny because she Cole was also in love with her but then corvis was like hey I'm in love with her and he was like oh cool absolutely you do you do you buddy and so you know corvis is in charge there but and corvis as the leader of this team is very like efficient and quick and he's like a scal but also he can kill everybody who wants he's very serious in his issue of the black order comic he talks about how he's not funny and he's like I'm I'm a little bit funny right and everybody's like I don't really you're not like the funny one and he's like you sure I kind think I make like some pretty clever jokes and everybody's just like not really dude and he is very scary looking he's designed specifically to look like kind of the opposite of Thanos where Thanos is this big round strong buff guy he's much smaller he's got this hunched over posture he's wearing a lot of flowing robes he's kind of dirty he's got like big garly teeth but he more than anybody else is trusted by Thanos to carry out whatever duties Thanos is up for so if he's trying to find something he's trying to get a tribute from some of the planets that he's in charge of corvis glave is usually the one he sends to do that and corvis glave seems like a good leader members of the black order seem to like him there's really not a lot of Discord among this group they're very welcoming when it comes to Bringing Black Swan in he's fine with it and she seems to fit in pretty well as for like what the black order is they are a group of mercenaries that just work for Thanos but when Thanos goes away this group still exists and they're led by someone but corvis is still the field general of this group like everybody in Black order knows corvis is in charge so they go to try to capture thanos's son Hyperion kills corvis glaive like destroys him except he does not destroy the glaive so this big weapon that corvis glaive carries which I assume he named himself after cannot imagine he was named corvis glaive and then he found the glaive although like Ry Hammer is related to the person that owns Armen Hammer baking soda but he's not named after that so it's like sometimes I guess maybe it's a coincidence but either way corvus glaive has this magical glaive it's got a really sharp edge it can cut through an atom so that sounds useful which usually just means it can cut characters like Hyperion or like Hulk characters that are inv vulnerable to pretty much everything else can get cut by the glaive which like this is Comic so like we don't even know what this thing's made out of but it's like it's one of those things where like you have a character is like I'm indestructible and then like some other guy comes up and he's like no this sword is built out of destructibility and it can destroy it and it's like okay well I thought that was indestructible I guess it's not and but like there's a list of metals that are actually better than the one that we thought was the bet but it makes sense as Universe gets bigger we're finding more things anyway it doesn't matter so corvus is glaive very sharp also it is magic so if he is killed but the glaive is not destroyed he regenerates from the glaive that's actually how Thanos and Proxima end up escaping Proxima is holding the glaive and he just starts darks regenerating in this big Amber prison so corvis joins the cabal works for Thanos a little bit more then Secret Wars happens but when that's over Thanos is off the board for a while so corvis goes back to the black order seed of power and just takes over he rolls like an entire quadrant of the Galaxy and it's so funny because in this book The Thanos Volume 2 the first issue is just everybody going man corvis is crushing it all the planets are like this is actually pretty good and he's tough but fair like all the feedback cards are coming up as 10 corvis glaive is the best boss ever and then Thanos comes back and he's like obviously I'm in charge of corvus I like come on man I was just doing so well and Thanos destroys the glaive and then kills corvus well he gives the glaive to corvis and he's like you kill yourself now cuz I'm going to kill you later corvis is resurrected for that fight between The Grandmaster and the Challenger that the whole black order is resurrected for and then after that he's just kind of out you know working as of now I'm not sure where this character is but like I was saying when I was talking about Black Swan and some of the other ones they were pretty aimless without Thanos but when they found out about the superhero or villain named star who had an infinity stone inside of her I believe it was the reality Stone they went to get that and it was too hard and then they all realized none of them really wanted to do this anymore so they just moved on I don't know where this character is now he shows up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he is the leader of the group it seems he's the one who thanis tells to fire on Scarlet Witch which is interesting because corvis says but sire are troops which the thing that got corvis on this team was that time he killed all his own troops for Thanos it's like that's not what you do also corvis clave is killed in Infinity war with the glaive and he dies and he never comes back so it's like we almost have an opposite version of corvis glaive in the MCU he's not an incredibly good fighter he's okay but like he can't take the vision which the vision isn't that incredible and then he sneaks around for a little bit during the wakanda fight and gets killed by Vision I can't remember I believe he's killed by nebula again during the big end game fight and I imagine these characters because they got snapped out of existence are never coming back so do I think this version of the MCU corvus glave is a good representation of the one for the comics like he looked good and he sounded right I think ebony Moss sort of felt like the leader of that group because he just did most of the talking but they were separated into two groups so like corvis glaive you could see him leading this team but as far as like what he did his blaive wasn't as interesting as it is in the comics because it cannot resurrect him in fact it was used to kill him and he was like sire I don't want to sacrifice our troops even though that is what he is most known for doing you could say maybe if it's like oh Proxima Midnight's there he doesn't want her to get killed but in that situation I do think he would still sacrifice her if Thanos told him to do something he would do it like again he is his God so Marvel snacks I hav't used the word marvel snap yet in this video but we're talking about the character from the comics a little bit of him in the MCU he's been on most of the animated shows as well because they do a lot of Thanos stuff on those new shows I don't really watch too many of them so I know he's been on them and he's been in the video games Marvel vers Capcom 3 uh featured the Infinity Stones in Black order and Thanos in a big way but again like all the rest of these black order guys even though Thanos is is very historical comic book character corvis is not he is you know less than 20 years old which I think comes as a surprise considering the amount of History some of these characters have and some of them actually don't have but anyway in Marvel snap corvis glaive is a three cost five power with the unreveal ability discard two cards from your hand to get Plus One Max Energy so I think what they're going for is pretty clear here corvis in the comic sacrificed his own troops to gain thanos's favor in this situation you are discarding two cards out of your hand to get one more energy which is a huge bonus like getting an extra energy especially on turn three can set you up a lot of opportunities going forward with the three five stat line like he's fine I think this card is interesting because of Proxima Midnight's power which we'll get to next week I think you could have maybe switched their abilities like I think he could have his ability or her ability because her ability is about her getting discarded and then showing up again I kind of assumed when I heard corvis glaive was getting a power and snap it would be that be some sort of like when this card is discarded from your hand it shows up on on the field somewhere I understand what they were going for honestly out of all the members of the black order that have been introduced so far in Marvel snap corvis glaive is probably the most faithful to his comic counterpart so that's cool he also unlike most of the rest of these guys has two variants there's obviously the base card by Ryan Kade and Edward melow but the inuck Lee version which is the spotlight cash which is great is the spotlight cash and like everybody got those I believe those are all the covers from the black Order series but there is actually another corvis glaive uh by Seth Adams it looks very cool so I complained last week that Marvel snap doesn't have a lot of variance for cards that are getting released now unless they're like really popular cards and characters like I assume War Machine probably like three or four variants when he drops but some of these other guys who aren't the highest profile characters tend to have zero Varian that you cannot get outside of Spotlight caches so I'm glad that he's got one here so next week we're going to wrap this up talking about Proxima midnight I'll also talk a little bit about AB any mo in that video as well if you enjoyed this video subscribe to the channel I really appreciate it I make videos like this one once every week or so talking about the characters in Marvel Comics relating them to Marvel snap so even if you don't like Marvel snap you can still get something out of it and I make other videos on this channel talking about Madam web or the cast for The Fantastic for movie so subscribe here my other channel is called nandoi movies subscribe there I'm all those things on nebula so follow me there that's all I got stay
