Quill starts pommeling Thanos. Iron Man starts flings towards him to stop him. Spider-Man comes close enough to pulling off the gauntlet that it visibly slips off the butt of his hand and down to his fingers. Thanos thumb is completely out of it when he yanks it from Spider-Man's grip. Thanos sends the alien-woman flying and Spider-Man catches her.
Everyone else continues to fight, but the mad Titan sends the wizard flying; he easily knocks the Guardians back with a pulse of purple energy; he headbutts Iron Man to the ground.
He looks at Iron Man for a beat, then gestures at Titan's moon. The Blue and Purple stones light up as the moon shatters, and he sends all of it slamming onto the red, dusty planet below as effortlessly as a professional pitcher delivering a pitch.
Thanos seems to have a response for everything they throw at him.
A nanite hand pins Thanos' gauntleted hand open and Iron Man lands in front of him.
"You throw another moon at me, and I'm gonna to lose it."
"Stark."
"You know me?"
"I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge."
"My only curse is you." Rockets launch from the Mark 50 and launch themselves at Thanos.
"Come on!"
It's just the two of them now: the Guardians are incapacitated and Spider-Man is with them; the wizard is still splayed out on the ground. The fight itself seems almost even, until Iron Man flings a metal fist at Thanos' face.
The metal catches his cheek. When Thanos lifts a hand to his face, he finds there's blood there.
"All that for a drop of blood."
Thanos smiles.
He kicks Iron Man with enough force to flip him over, then continues to punch him -- over and over again, without mercy. He lifts him by the head, then punches him, using the force of the Power Stone.
Iron Man puts his everything into firing his repulsors at Thanos, but the Titan is not deterred. He continues to steadily close the space between them, then knocks the malformed remains of the helmet off of Iron Man's face. Iron Man forms his glove into a shortsword and attempts to attack Thanos with it, but Thanos breaks it off --
