History
Annihilation[]
Praxagora was a sentient robot from the planet Ataraxia in the Negative Zone. The Ataraxians mastered "stellar containment" technology and used this technology for everything in their culture, even themselves. Despite their destructive power they were a peaceful people. They lived in peace with one another and their natural environment. When Annihilus discovered this race of super-intelligent and incredibly powerful machines, he determined that destroying them would be safer than keeping them alive.[2]
The people were wiped out except for Praxagora, who was locked in a prison with the sole survivors of other races. Praxagora and the others were found and freed by the Super-Skrull and chose to fight alongside him against Annihilus.[3]
Annihilation: Conquest[]
Praxagora became Super-Skrull's lover and they were taken captive by the Phalanx. She and Super-Skrull were freed by Wraith[4] and later joined him and Ronan the Accuser in confronting the Phalanx.[5]
She died when Ultron took over her body during the assault and overloaded her internal fusion core to make her a bomb. Super-Skrull managed to save everyone in the area except her.[6]Attributes
