'''''Infinity Abyss''''' is a six-issue [[comic book]] [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] published by [[Marvel Comics]] from August to October in 2002. The series was written and pencilled by [[Jim Starlin]].

==Plot summary==
The series centers on the Thanosi, five failed [[Genetics|genetic]] experiments by the Titan [[Thanos]], with each being a [[Molecular cloning|clone]] of his [[DNA]] and modelled on other beings, including the characters [[Professor X]]; [[Doctor Strange]]; [[Gladiator (Kallark)|Gladiator]]; [[Iron Man]] and [[Galactus]]. Obsessed with nihilism and a desire to end the [[universe]], the five Thanosi – called ''X''; ''Mystic''; ''Warrior''; ''Armor'' and ''Omega'' – attempt to kill the original Thanos by creating a [[black hole]] in space. X then [[impersonate]]s Thanos and directs character [[Pip the Troll]] to [[kidnap]] a recovering [[Adam Warlock]] on an alien planet.

X requires information from Warlock, who previously made contact with an entity called the ''Anchor of Reality''. By killing this being and preventing it from locating a successor, the Thanosi clones will therefore end the universe. The female mercenary [[Gamora]] locates the real Thanos, and with the aid of Warlock and heroes Doctor Strange; [[Spider-Man]]; [[Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics)|Captain Marvel]] and [[Moondragon]] the Titan neutralizes four of the five clones. Omega arrives on Earth to kill the successor to the Anchor of Reality and to destroy the Earth, and is teleported with the heroes to a barren planet where they battle. Thanos transports the heroes back to Earth, and then has a fleet of alien mercenaries destroy the planet, killing the final clone. A human girl called Atleza is able to become the new Anchor of Reality unchallenged, ending the threat.
