Thanos' quest for the Power Stone: A journey to power

Thanos obtained the first stone, the Power Stone, by defeating the Nova Corps, law enforcement for the galaxy, on the planet Xandar and claiming it for himself.

The Power Stone is an immensely powerful artifact that grants its wielder immense strength and energy manipulation abilities. It was hidden on the planet Morag, and its location was known only to a select few.

Thanos learned of the existence of the Power Stone and set his sights on acquiring it. He sent his daughters, Gamora and Nebula, to retrieve it for him. However, they were not the only ones after Stone. Guardians of the Galaxy, a group of misfits and outlaws, were also on the hunt for it.

The Guardians of the Galaxy arrived in Morag and quickly discovered the location of the Power Stone. However, they were ambushed by Ronan the Accuser, a Kree zealot who was working for the Mad Titan. Ronan wanted the Power Stone for himself so that he could destroy the planet Xandar, which had defeated the Kree in the past.

At the end of the movie, The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol I, Ronan was defeated and the Power Stone was turned over to the Nova Corps for safekeeping. The Nova Corps is a powerful intergalactic police force that is tasked with protecting the galaxy from any threats.

However, unknown to the Guardians, Thanos grew impatient in his quest to acquire all six Infinity Stones. He knew that Power Stone was now in the possession of the Nova Corps and that he would need to retrieve it in order to move forward with his plan.

He sent his minions to retrieve the Power Stone from the Nova Corps. This led to a fierce battle between the Mad Titan and the Nova Corps but they were outmatched by his superior strength and defeated them and claimed the Power Stone for himself.
