10 Inappropriate Things Marvel And DC Want You To Forget

3. Starfox

Mister Miracle Superman Big Barda
Marvel Comics

Everyone knows the Mad Titan, but few people know he has a brother. Growing up in the literal shadow of Thanos, Eros hasn't had the easiest life. He watched his planet be decimated, captured by multiple villains and had a friend lose the battle with cancer. This is where the sympathy ends though. When you get to know Starfox, the less you ever want to see him again..

Among his many powers, the Titanian hero is able to stimulate the pleasure centres in someone's brain. This leaves the subject more suggestible as Starfox can create a feeling of euphoria to infatuate them. The more sinister aspect of this power came to light in a sexual assault case levied against him. During the trial, the defendant was banned from attending court after he was discovered to be using his power to influence witnesses. Jessica Walters uncorked the beating of a life time after learning her relationship with John Jameson was the result of Eros' meddling. As if creepy gaslighting powers weren't enough, Starfox was written as a ladies' man, which predictably found him being more an ignorant misogynist than charming.

2019 did see Starfox return to the page, however not as the hero he once was. Guardians Of The Galaxy #2 saw a new start as the main villain, which seems more fitting for this creepy individual.
