The Thanoscopter is one of the most delightfully absurd pieces of Marvel Comics history, first appearing in Spidey Super Stories #39 back in 1979. Despite being a cosmic being of immense power, Thanos was depicted piloting a bright yellow helicopter with his name printed on the tail, an image that modern fans found hilariously unnecessary given his abilities. Decades later, the internet rediscovered this silver-age oddity, turning it into a viral meme that mocks the contrast between the MCU's serious villain and his goofy comic book origins. It is frequently used to highlight absurdity, ironic flexing, or to poke fun at the logistical logic of all-powerful supervillains.
