History

Titanis is one of the 100 Eternals who were created on Earth one million years ago by the First Host of the alien Celestials.

During the Contest of Champions, she, Ikaris, Ajak and Sersi were flying high above the Andes Mountains when all four of them were teleported off-planet by the Grandmaster who was choosing champions from among the ranks of Earth's heroes in his game against Death. However, none of the abducted Eternals, including Titanis, were chosen to participate in the actual contest.

Years later, Titanis was part of a team of Eternals led by Zuras who worked alongside the High Evolutionary to defend his Arctic Base from the New Warriors. Alongside her kin, she battled the New Warriors until Justice was able to convince Zuras that he had been misled into believing that the Celestials' judgement of humanity was imminent. Their alliance with the High Evolutionary no longer necessary, Titanis and the other Eternals abandoned the fight.

Like all of the Eternals, Titanis died after the Final Host arrived but was resurrected by the Machine a few months later.

Attributes

Powers

• Titanis possesses the usual enhanced physical attributes of an Eternal.

Notes

• Titanis first appeared in a single panel in Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1 but she wasn't given a name until her headshot appeared in the Eternals entry in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #4.
• Titanis presumably participated in various major events that supposedly involved (almost) all Eternals. These events would have included the Uranos and Kronos schisms of the first age, the Titan schism of the second age, and the recent mass murder/suicide that killed almost all Eternals about six months ago. However, none of her activities during these schisms have been revealed.

Trivia

• The entry on the Eternals that appeared in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #4 erroneously listed Titanis as first appearing in Eternals #1 but she was actually introduced almost six years later in Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1.
