Man of Earth was a monstrous beast created by Shi Qaanth to serve the Empyre.
History
The Man of Earth was a giant beast created to serve the Empyre by the Cotati mage Shi Qaanth, using the advanced staff created by the "First Race". The staff turned the ground soil and rock mixture along with the plant life into a single animated beast, in order to create a seismic event in Mexico City that would wipe out all life on Earth. Captain America, the United States Army and the Kree/Skull Alliance struck the Cotati accompanying the beast.[1]
The Alliance warships attacked the Man of Earth with its missiles. Though it inflicted a good amount of physical damage, the Alliance commanders were killed when he smashed their warship to the ground. This ripped open a fault line and Captain America soon realized they needed to bring him down. Using an Alliance glider, he reached the beast's body and fought Shi Qanth. Realizing the mage's staff was keeping the Man of Earth alive, he destroyed it with his shield, which caused the beast to quickly disintegrate.[2]Attributes
