Ebony Maw, a prominent character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, made his first appearance in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). He is a member of Thanos' Black Order, a group of powerful individuals serving as the Mad Titan's adopted children and lieutenants.

In the MCU, Ebony Maw is portrayed as a calculating and highly intelligent strategist. His primary abilities lie not in brute strength but in telekinesis and manipulation. He possesses the power to control objects and people with his mind, often using these abilities in subtle yet devastating ways.

Serving as Thanos' most trusted and eloquent speaker, Ebony Maw often takes the lead in negotiations and conveying Thanos' will. He plays a crucial role in the quest for the Infinity Stones, particularly in attempting to acquire the Time Stone from Doctor Strange.

While loyal to Thanos, Ebony Maw exhibits a distinct sense of intellectual superiority and enjoys wielding his powers to dominate his opponents. He is ultimately defeated during the events of Infinity War by the combined efforts of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange, being ejected into space.
