When Thanos enacted his master plan to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet, Starfox joined the Avengers in their fight to stop him.Įven though Thanos proved himself to be a monster, Starfox maintained a rocky relationship with his brother - a relationship that was frequently pushed to the limit, like when Thanos revealed to Starfox that he killed their mother. While not exactly the universe’s next greatest defender, Starfox finally took on actual responsibility and fashioned himself a hero. It wasn’t until Thanos hatched a plan to destroy their home of Titan that Starfox snapped out of his lackadaisical life and joined the hero Captain Marvel in saving the day. It’s worth pointing out that Thanos is technically an Eternal, too, but a recessive Deviant gene caused him to appear monstrous compared to the beautiful, god-like Eternals. Starfox lived a life filled with fun and pleasure with little in the way of actual responsibility, but that all changed when Thanos emerged as one of the greatest threats the Marvel universe has ever seen. He was born an Eternal on Titan, the moon of Saturn where a splinter group of Eternals made their home.
Starfox made his comic book debut right alongside his big, purple brother in 1973’s Iron Man #55.
