Lady Macbeth: Mistress Death provides a truly horrifying example of this trope. She goads Thanos from a young age into isolating himself, killing everyone he could potentially ever have loved, and become the Omnicidal Maniac we know him as.

Adaptational Villainy: Mistress Death is shown as far more manipulative and malicious than the distant and amoral Cosmic Entity she's typically portrayed as, actively inciting Thanos' journey towards darkness.

Was It Really Worth It?: After going completely insane, becoming a galactic serial killer, and all the countless people he has murdered across the cosmos in pursuit of her love and destroying his home planet, Mistress Death finally kisses Thanos. His subtle, troubled reaction seems to imply this trope:

comment
Villainous Crush: When Thanos was a kid, he had an unrequited crush on a friend who was rather vicious for an Eternal. She influenced him into doing things that eventually lead him to become the person who he is in the present. As a young adult, she convinced him kill his previous lovers and children, and told him that she was in fact, Death. At the end of that series, he shows that he eventually got over her. Maybe.

Self-Made Orphan: Thanos kidnaps and vivisects his mother Sui-San to find out how she could have brought someone as evil as him into the world. However, when he returns years later to wipe out the rest of his people, he leaves his father Mentor alive just so he can be witness to his son's continued atrocities.

Grave-Marking Scene: Thanos visits his mother's grave on Titan in the opening. Not because he had any real affection for her (being the one responsible for her death), more for ritualistic reasons and to understand his own destiny.

Villainous Breakdown: For all of Mistress Death's calm, arrogant demeanor and air of condescending superiority through the story, she doesn't handle being ignored by Thanos in the end very well. Essentially trading places with him now as the cold and distant, uncaring one.

Retcon
 Thanos Rising (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66
comment
Retcon: Thanos Rising retcons many of the details of Thanos' origin that Starlin had established in the 2004 Thanos solo series. Among other changes: In Starlin's origin, Thanos was treated like an outcast and discriminated against because of his Deviant appearance. Rising instead shows that Thanos had many friends as a child and was indeed quite popular, with his gradual withdrawal from society being of his own volition. Starlin's origin states that Thanos first encountered Mistress Death as an adult while exploring the ruins of an ancient temple. In Rising, Death actually seeks out Thanos and approaches him at school while he's still a child. A major part of Thanos' original Start of Darkness was that his father exiled him from Titan for performing forbidden experiments that resulted in the deaths of some of the test subjects. In Rising, Thanos actually flees Titan as a teenager after killing his mother. Starlin's origin suggested that Thanos had a fairly good relationship with his mother, as she only died when he destroyed Titan years later, and Thanos even says she was the one member of his family he might actually have spared. In Rising, they have an antagonistic relationship literally from day one, with his mother trying to kill him as soon as he's born.

 Thanos Rising (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c
comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's made deliberately vague whether Thanos is insane or not and whether his visions of Death are real. No one except him can see her so others just see him talking to empty air or corpses. According to his father's scanners, there's nothing to prove that someone is really talking to him. However, Death is a Cosmic Entity with powers far beyond any mortal, so that wouldn't really be a surprise. At the end, Thanos ignores her.

Start of Darkness
 Thanos Rising (Comic Book) / int_e0040f41
comment
Start of Darkness: The comic shows how Thanos of Titan developed from a young mutant boy with purple skin into the Omnicidal Maniac Emperor Scientist he is in the present day. From the day he was born he starts seeing visions of Death who subtly manipulates him into becoming first a serial killer, then a space pirate, and finally a nihilistic mass murderer who ends up destroying his own homeworld, though it's left ambiguous whether this was truly Death or a figment of his imagination.

Pinball Protagonist: Thanos spends much of each issue acting on suggestions from Death, who is constantly nagging him to commit murders. Even when he becomes a space pirate captain, it's because he accidentally won a duel with the old captain. He swings a sword with his eyes shut and kills him without meaning to, and so gains authority by sheer accident.

The Dog Bites Back: Thanos to Mistress Death at the end. After all the many years of depraved manipulation, grooming and emotional abuse from her since he was a child, he hasn't seen her for a long time by the epilogue and it is now her who begs to be with him again. He simply ignores her desperate pleas and walks away while she screams futilely for him to come back.
