Yep. In the early 90’s Jim Starlin came back to Marvel, and was given the Silver Surfer book, which quickly became one of their top sellers, and he was soon given the opportunity to helm a crossover event. Thanos was Jim Starlin’s attempt at a creating a Darkseid analogue, which then became his signature villain in his books (Captain Marvel and Warlock, specifically).You say that yet Cap, Spiderman, Dr. Strange, Hulk, and others all faced Thanos in the Infinity Gauntlet.
That is to say that was all those guys first or second time facing Thanos (after Avengers Annual 7), whereas Kang was a FREQUENT visit. For a while there in the Celestial Madonna saga they were basically seeing him or one of his variants every month.
Sorry if I nerded out there I’m a wee bit drunk
