Anyway, near the climax, after the heroes have used teamwork to deliver a humiliating defeat to Thanos, there's this spectacular two-page spread, which is accompanied by the words:
Now that the dayIt's too big to fit on the bed of my scanner, hence the photo. I've scanned the two halves of the image and will place them below, because I am afraid I am unable to name many of what appear to be Marvel's most awesome villains.
is almost done...
Oh, wait! Galactic villains on the run!
Here are the images:
Okay, so we all know the three big guys in the background are Orrgo, The Supreme Intelligence and Xemnu, The Hulk (AKA Xemnu, The Titan), here sporting an amazing mustache (the result of his eyebrows and mustache being colored differently than his fur, I think). Oh, and then there's Thanos, obviously, who seems to have recovered the Infinity Gauntlet that the Avengers stripped him of a few pages ago.
As for the rest, let's go left to right, and you can tell me who the heck the ones I can't identify are. Ready...?
1.) Hellcow
2.) Ruby Tuesday
3.)
4.)
5.)
6.) The Walrus
7.) (Umm...) Cyrus Black
8.) The Orb
9.) (One Of The Green Guys Shown Hanging Out With Nebula Earlier In The Book) According to artist Cale Atkinson, this guy is an original creation.
10.)
11.)
12.)
13.) Ronan The Accuser
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I have a few guesses:
3) The Living Brain...or whatever? From Slott's Spider-Man run?
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Living_Brain_(Earth-616)
4) Turner D. Century, perhaps?
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Clifford_Michaels_(Earth-616)
5) Ulysses Bloodstone, I think.

10) TASERFACE!

That's all I got right now.
3) The Living Brain (Amazing Spider-Man #8)
4) Turner D Century
5) Ulysses Bloodstone
(7), I think, is the Demon -- an old Dr Strange villain? Or else some other Ditko creation (the helmet and hands are a giveaway)
And (11) is Hypno-Hustler
3.) (Big Green Robot)
The Living Brain
4.) (Fancy-Looking Guy With Sweet Mustache)
Turner D Century
5.) (Square-Jawed, Long-Haired Guy With Vest Over His Bare Chest)
The Kangaroo
10.) (HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT GUY)
Tazerface
11.) (Guy With A Guitar)
Hypno Hustler
Good Lord, why did I know so many of those! :)
#10 is definitely the original Taserface from Jim Valentino's Guardians of the Galaxy, and #4 has gotta be the mighty Turner D Century...
#12 - the Phone Ranger, first appears in the Marvel Age Annual
#9 - I was going to guess it was Gunthar, a Rigellian member of Nebula's pirate crew, but he doesn't look much like a Rigellian ... and Gunthar didn't have a mustache :/
Wow, thanks! You guys fairly flew through that list! Now that I have names to attach to many of the face, I'm kind of embarrassed to find out that I actually DID read comics featuring some of the character's I didn't recognize, and then apparently my addled brain refused to form any memories of them.
I am now irrationally excited to learn more about Turner D. Century and Taserface, who I guess was in the second GOTG movie, and they certainly didn't do his fantastic costume any justice there...
