An offer from Thanos of Titan? I can well imagine what manner of offer you would tender, mad one.

Cease this pretense. If battle is your purpose, I am more than willing. - Terrax

Build Comments: I haven't seen much of Terrax, but from what I've seen, he's a major league bad
ass, just shy of The Silver Surfer, so he gets built about a half PL below. That's more than enough to
handle the FF on his own or just about any other Cosmic Marvel threats.

Secret Origins: Tyros was ruler of the city-state of Lanlak on the planetoid Birj. The cosmic entity
Galactus selects Tyros as his next Herald, but first wishes for the superhero team the Fantastic Four
to humble him in return for his assistance with major threat to Earth. They defeated Tyros and
brought him before Galactus, who changes the petty tyrant into Terrax the Tamer. His minor control
over stone was augmented to an incalculable degree. Now, he could affect all matter of rock and
stone on nearly a planetary scale, his strength and durability were greatly increased and he could
withstand the ravages of space like the other Heralds. Finally, Galactus gave Terrax a weapon called
the cosmic axe capable of generating waves of cosmic force. Terrax traveled with Galactus to Earth,
and while his new master fulfilled his end of the bargain with the FF, Terrax attacked them for
revenge in for their role in his transformation. Terrax, however, is tricked and defeated by the Human
Torch, and left with a victorious Galactus.

The Story so Far: As Galactus's new herald, Terrax found more worlds for his master than any of the
previous heralds. Terrax likened the discovery of new planets to the feeling of conquest. On several
occasions, Terrax annihilated large segments of the population himself using his cosmic powers. As
Galactus had hoped, Terrax's lack of morality made him a successful herald. But whereas Galactus's
other heralds had a sense of loyalty to their master, Terrax had none and only served Galactus out of
fear for his master's power.

However, on several occasions he chose to defy Galactus' wishes. Shortly after being transformed
into Galactus' herald, Terrax fled from his master and overthrew the ruling body of a small-unnamed
planet. He enslaved the entire population and set himself up as the planet's deity. Huge segments of
that world's people died erecting temples and cities to glorify Terrax. Terrax planned to use the
survivors of his reign as the first wave of a planned universe conquering army. He came into conflict
with Green Lanterns Tomar-Re, John Stewart and Katma Tui and was winning the conflict. But before
Terrax could proceed any further, Guardian of the Universe Ganthet alerted Galactus and he
summoned his herald. Fearful of his master's wrath, Terrax hid in a black hole. With the Green
Lantern’s assistance Galactus freed Terrax and made him obedient to his will again.

Characterization: Terrax loves conquest above all else being seen as THE man. He loathed his time as
Galactus’ herald and is enjoying his freedom to take over worlds as he sees fit.

Friends and Foes: He works alone except when he is pressed back into service to Galactus.
