History
Following the death of the previous generation of the familiar Filipino superhero group the Triumph Division at the hands of suicide bombers during a ceremony in Plaza de Roma,[1] the next member in each of the deceased members' bloodlines succeeded them, following the team's centuries-old tradition.[2] The deity Anitun transferred her life essence from her late host to a new woman of her bloodline.[3]
The members of the fledging generation were visited at the Triumph Hall by Iron Man to pay his respects. They were nervous and eager, but also hopeful, which reminded Iron Man of the early days of the Avengers.[2]
When Tony Stark became a prisoner of the Mandarin, his allies Pepper Potts and Bethany Cabe set up a meeting in international waters with the Triumph Division and the Chinese superhero team the Dynasty and requested their aid to take part in a rogue rescue operation to retrieve Stark from Mandarin City. Both teams were glad to help since Tony Stark had been present for them.[4] The heroes arrived during the final battle between Iron Man and the Mandarin. While the Dynasty took down the Mandarin's armed forces, the Triumph Division engaged the Titanomechs until Iron Man used the Swarm to destroy them.[5]
Some time later, the Triumph Division prevented the Macronaut from making a landfall in Quezon City.[6]
After the defeat of Sindr, the Queen of Cinders, Anitun was with the other members of her team and Aero in Shanghai as they were being celebrated for their bravery for defending the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia.[7]

Notes
- Since the mantles of the heroes of the Triumph Division are generational and run back centuries,[2] the numeric distinctive in this article's title is only meant to indicate that this character is the second host of Anitun to appear in the comics, not that she's the second person to use the alias in-universe.
