Titan is a fictional location appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is depicted in the Marvel Universe as the home of the Titanian Eternals on Saturn's moon Titan. It first appeared in Iron Man #55 (Feb 1973) and was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich. The Titanians, also known as Titans, were later retconned as being an offshoot of the Eternals, which had been created separately by Jack Kirby.

Titan appeared in the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War and 2019 film Avengers: Endgame as a ruined planet and the former home of Thanos.

Fictional history

[edit]

The colony of Titanian Eternals was founded about 750,000 years ago in the aftermath of a devastating civil war among the first generation of Earth's Eternals. The Eternals Uranos and Kronos led opposing factions, which clashed in a conflict of ideals over the Eternals' destiny as a people. Kronos' side prevailed, and Uranos and his surviving followers were exiled into space and landed on the planet Uranus. There, they discovered a supply depot guarded by a Kree Sentry. When the Eternals destroyed the Sentry and raided the outpost, the Kree armada came to investigate, believing Earth's solar system to be devoid of intelligent life. The Eternals were forced to crash on the moon Titan, where they founded a colony while hiding from the Kree. These Eternals eventually died after a series of conflict, with Sui-San as the sole survivor. Mentor, who had gone into voluntary exile, arrived on Titan and took command.[1]
