Proxima Midnight (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Proxima Midnight is one of the secondary antagonists of the 2018 Marvel film Avengers: Infinity War. She is a member of the Black Order (alongside Corvus Glaive, Cull Obsidian & Ebony Maw) and an adopted daughter of Thanos who intends to help him in his quest to search and collect the Infinity Stones.

Role
Proxima was first seen raiding the Asgardians' ship following the destruction of Asgard by the deceased Surtur. Along with her father and brothers, she slaughtered the Asgardians to their deaths just as Thanos forces Loki to surrender the Space Stone (the Tesseract). It is also revealed that Proxima was involved of her father's attack on the planet Xandar to gain possession of the Power Stone (the Orb), which he used to destroy Xandar. After Thanos kills Loki, Proxima escaped with her family as Thanos uses the Orb to destroy the Asgardians' ship, leaving a helpless Thor to drift in space.

With two of the Infinity Stones in place, Thanos sends Proxima and Corvus to Earth, where they spot Vision and Scarlet Witch in Scotland. Aware that Vision has the Mind Stone as it is lodged in his forehead, both Proxima and Corvus attempt to ambush the two. However, the arrival of Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon forced the two escape back into space. The Avengers then send Vision out to Wakanda, in hopes that they could use its technology to safely remove the Mind Stone and destroy it with Scarlet Witch's powers.

After collecting the Reality Stone (the Aether) from the Collector, the Soul Stone from Red Skull, and the Time Stone (the Eye of Agamotto) from Doctor Strange, Thanos sends Proxima, Corvus and Obsidian to Wakanda, ordering them to lead a massive army of Outriders to attack the country and obtain the Mind Stone at all costs. This forces several Avengers and Wakandan warriors to fight back against the massive army. During the battle, Proxima eventually meets her end when Scarlet Witch uses her magic to blast her into the spinning blades of one of her own war machines, just as soon as the rest of her siblings and the Outriders ends up being killed as well (thanks to the arrival of a returning Thor, Rocket Racoon, and Groot).

Despite the massive losses, the arriving Thanos managed to defeat the Avengers before successfully obtaining the Mind Stone, allowing himself to use the Stones to wipe out half of the universe's populace (including several Avengers).
