Traits: The Titan eats the little guy, heals a click, and buffs all his Combat Values-- including and especially Defense. In games above 300 points, Thanos' traits become even MORE useful, as they activate any time an opposing figure is KO'd-- not just when they are KO'd by Thanos, himself.
Just to clarify this point, as several have made comments that may be misleading. To clarify the timing on this trait, and most especially, how rarely Thanos will see a boost to his defense.

"...since the end of your last turn." Means that, at the start of the opponent's turn to your immediate left (for multiples), your last turn just ended. Most of the time there will be no opponent KO's in that breadth, leaving the bonus at zero. KO's made during your turn will not give a defense bonus when your opponent's turn comes.
Where does this bonus come into play:
Primarily it will come up on your turn, when your other figures have KO'd an opponent before Thanos acts. This giving him the bonus, just like Archangel. Looking for boosts here to all but defense.
Secondly, when playing in a battle royale, it will come up whenever an opponent KO's another opponent. This would lead to the highest frequency of defense boosts.
Lastly, against a single opponent, the opponent will have to KO one of their own in order for a defense boost to come into play. Either by pushing, critical miss, Mystics, or etc. Most of the time this also means that the opponent made an attack before a boost was available. Usable defense bonuses from this will be infrequent.
Overall, still love the trait and this Thanos. Like Archangel's, but better, giving the possibility for the second and last options to come into play. But otherwise, like the Horseman of Death, this provides greater offense for reaping the opposition.

Ahhh, very good point. I definitely missed that in my reading. Thanks for the clarification!
