It’s not a huge surprise based on where Thor was left at the end of Thor: Ragnarok, but we get confirmation here that he finds his way to the Milano to hang out with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The trailer also gives us a few neat teams, which seems to indicate that they’re trying to give us different insights into the characters. Glaive was created, like the rest of the Black Order, during Jonathan Hickman’s run on Avengers/New Avengers/ Infinity. I can’t be certain that’s him in this shot – the spear here bears more than a passing resemblance to Loki’s sceptre – but that leg looks too big to be Loki’s, and “gathering the Mind Stone” seems to be something Glaive would be tasked with.
Glaive is Thanos’s second in command, a master tactician who is unkillable as long as his arced, golden glaive is intact. Proxima Midnight is married to Corvus Glaive, another member of the Black Order. She was created by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Deodato in the pages of New Avengersback in 2013. She’s a super badass fighter with a spear that never misses and kills on contact, and we see here her throwing it at Cap, and him promptly catching it. This is our first look at Proxima Midnight, one of Thanos’s Black Order.
