The Silver Surfer #35

"I consider [Thanos] to be an anti-hero…because he’s been the good guy as often as he’s been the bad guy in the stories. So I don’t consider him a villain. But because he’s not in that hero category I always found him more fascinating to write. I didn’t have to get restricted on where he would go and how he would react to things. I could make him not as appealing as I would have to make him if he were a hero. He could go off on his own little dark ways and it would still make perfect sense." -- Jim Starlin

Thanos is that one guy who thinks he's solved all the worlds problems because he took one economics class in college. They even make fun of this in parodies and some of the lighter material (I think they threw in a dig at Thanos plan in the now defunct Avengers Academy mobile game).
