10 Most Interesting Avengers You've Never Heard Of

4. Starfox AKA Eros

No, not the beloved Star Fox from Nintendo.

This Starfox is an Eternal, an Avenger, and the brother of Thanos himself. Completely different in temperament to his big bad brother, Eros loves life and travels through space seeking out romance and adventure.... by stimulating others "pleasure centers."

Unfortunately, Eros' powers were useless against Thanos, who was transfixed on Death. Eros left his murderous brother and home on Titan behind, choosing to find other planets with humanoid inhabitants to interact with. His travels take him to Earth, where he joins the Avengers under the new name Starfox.

Eventually, Starfox returns to space, fighting with various groups like the Eternals against Thanos. What makes him interesting, though, is that he has the power to "excite pleasure in others". Throughout the issues, he hooks up with many women across the galaxy, notably including She-Hulk.

Spoiler alert: his galactic sexcapades aren't always clearly defined as consensual. How he met She-Hulk is proof.

Starfox was brought up on charges of sexual assault on Earth. He allegedly used his powers, which are essentially a form of emotional mind control, to seduce a number of women against their will.

Not one of Earth's Mightiest, but definitely one of Earth's sketchiest.
