Overview[]
The Great Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a Sphinx that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the face of the Pharaoh Khafra.

The Hulk on a mission to stop the Chronarchists arrived in Egypt. Now in the form of "Mr Fixit" he used his "Tommy Guns" to shoot at Sandman, destroying the Sphinx nose.[2]

In front of the Sphinx, Thor battled against Hyperion and managed to defeat him by using his enchanted hammer Mjolnir to shrink Hyperion in size and trap him in a sphere of glass.[5]
The alien Horusians, having "seeded" the Sphinx with their advanced technology during the Pharaohs' ages, later tried to use the Sphinx in a gladiatorial combat against the Colossus, but Bruce Banner stopped the Sphinx when it started to move.[6]
