Without the Infinity Stones , Thanos ’s Deviant - mutated   aeonian genesstill make him a supernaturally gifted being . In   all of his   fight in the MCU , his body designate few sign of the zodiac of legal injury besides the single drop cloth of origin that Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) manages to disembowel with a nanotech - boost biff to the look   and the combat injury that   Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) opens in his chest with Stormbreaker . Even then , he ’s able to   wield all six Infinity Stones and   do two Snaps before his body heals .
