Marvel's Deadpool is responsible for the death of hundreds, if not thousands of people. As an expert in the art of killing, it seems even Thanos wouldn't be powerful enough to stand against him. But even with his famous ability to snap the Marvel Universe in half, Thanos still couldn't keep Deadpool from killing him... twice.
Aside from the jokes and insults, Deadpool is a deadly mercenary. But his greatest strengths are his healing factor that allows even Deadpool's most extreme deaths to be non-lethal, as well as his ability to be break the fourth-wall between the comic he's in, and the comics the reader knows. Because Deadpool is nearly invulnerable, he is able to face some of marvel's greatest villains and still walk away unscathed. Throw in his reality-breaking sense of humor, and it may not come as a surprise to fans that he actually killed Thanos in fairly hilarious ways in their Marvel Comic run-ins.
The first time Deadpool kills the Thanos is in Gerry Duggan, Brian Posehn, Scott Koblish, and Val Staples' Deadpool #45, "Deadpool Roasts The Marvel Universe." In the comic, Deadpool is hired by Thanos to steal the Cosmic Cube - the last infinity stone he needs to put into the infinity gauntlet. Thus, allowing him to fulfill his destiny and wipe out half the universe with a single snap of his fingers.
But before Thanos is given the chance to take the stone from Deadpool in his famous Thanos-copter, Deadpool shows him the real infinity gauntlet on his own hand--revealing Thanos is actually wearing nothing but a cheap plastic toy. After Deadpool puts the infinity stone into the gauntlet, he jumps out and uses it to vaporize Thanos and his helicopter with an energy blast from his pointer finger. An attack apparently dubbed an inifinity-powered 'finger blast.'
But the feud wasn't over there. In Tim Seeley, Elmo Bondoc, Ruth Redmond, and Joe Sabino's comic series Deadpool vs. Thanos, the story's leading men must put aside their love-triangle feud with Mistress Death, in order to save her from an unknown kidnapper. Because Death has disappeared from the Marvel Universe, all living creatures can't seem to die causing both societal and ecological issues (don't get Thanos started on that delicate balance). Along their journey to uncover the whereabouts of Death, Deadpool and Thanos discover she has been kidnapped by Eternity - an abstract being at the center of nothing. To help Deadpool and Thanos, Death gives them some of her strength - allowing them to damage Eternity.
When Thanos beats Eternity within an inch of its life as well as plans to destroy him and the universe, Deadpool tries to stop him. But he fails and Thanos throws him into Eternity where he drifts among stars and planets. Eventually, Eternity's guardian Uni-Power uses Deadpool as his host - turning him into a cosmic being commonly known as Captain Universe. As Deadpool/Captain Universe exit Eternity, he continues to beat Thanos until he explodes into a blast of cosmic energy.
Considering the Marvel Comics are filled with alternate timelines and multiverses, it's no surprise that Deadpool is able to kill Thanos twice. Even though Deadpool kills Thanos towards the end of Deadpool vs. Thanos, one should bear in mind that Death ultimately loves Thanos for the purpose of manipulation. Knowing Thanos is bent on killing and death in general, she wants to keep him around - which is why he appears in a mirror at the end of Deadpool vs. Thanos. Thus, begging the question, can Thanos actually die?
