Notes
- Supergiant was created by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña where she made her first appearance in Infinity v1 #1 (October, 2013).
- In an interview on CBR, writer Jonathan Hickman commented, "History unknown. A mentally unstable omnipath and telepathic parasite, Supergiant seeks out intellect and devours it. What she knows, Thanos knows."
- Editor Tom Brevoort added, "Supergiant, as a term, refers to a particular grade of star that is of colossal size and colossal heat and colossal mass. She is probably the most outwardly psychotic of the five lieutenants. Her physicality belies what you might think of when you hear the name. You hear ‘Supergiant’ and you think, ‘That’s a Hank Pym character. That’s a tall person.’ In fact, while she’s got some stature, she’s not huge and massive. What she is, is a mentally unstable telepathic parasite, who is drawn to intelligence in the manner of gravity. Gravity attracts gravity, she is drawn to intelligence and sucks it dry. She’s almost the information source among Thanos’ guys. What she knows, Thanos knows."
