Biography
Titus was a bipedal feline-based alien who eventually became a member of the Nova Corps. In time, he came to be a member of a covert ops branch that were referred to as the Black Novas. Whilst there, he became close friends with his team mates who were Jesse Alexander, Mister Z'zz, The Phlish and a few other Supernovas. (Nova v5 #1) During one mission, they managed to steal a Recorder leading to them being pursued by the Rigellian empire. During this time, Jesse Alexander deserted the team in order to return to Earth to be with his human family and be present at the birth of his son. This led to the Black Nova’s being ambushed by the Chitauri and Titus being badly wounded as he lost his right eye along with his right arm. However, he offered his captors a great prize that the Supernovas had recovered which was the Ultimate Nullifier. The Chitauri then accepted Titus into their ranks where he proved himself leading him to be gifted with cybernetic parts to replace his lost body parts. He then led a Chitauri fleet to Earth in order to find the Nova helmet of his former comrade Jesse Alexander. (Nova v5 #4)
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Titus was a massive, physically imposing bipedal alien who strongly resembled a gigantic, anthropomorphic white tiger. His entire body was covered in a thick coat of white fur accented by distinct, stark black tiger stripes. He possessed pointed ears, a broad feline snout, and a highly muscular, predatory build. Following his catastrophic mutilation during the Chitauri ambush, his physical form was heavily altered by advanced cybernetic engineering. His missing right arm was replaced with a bulky, heavy-duty metallic prosthetic, and his missing right eye was swapped for a glowing, yellow-tinted robotic optical sensor. Titus wore a modified, dark blue and gold variant of the traditional Supernova uniform, which featured a sleek, black-ops style tactical chest piece and a matching Nova helmet designed to accommodate his large feline head. (Nova v5 #1)
Powers and abilities
Titus possessed immense natural physical attributes further augmented by advanced alien cybernetics and elite military training. He exhibited massive superhuman strength, allowing him to easily overpower normal humanoids and match the physical output of seasoned galactic warriors in close-quarters brawls. His left hand retained sharp, organic predatory claws capable of shredding armored targets, while his heavily reinforced robotic right arm granted him immense crushing power. As a rogue centurion, he retained access to a specialized black Nova helmet, which granted him the ability to manipulate vast quantities of cosmic energy. This allows him to project powerful concussive energy blasts, generate protective force fields, and achieve high-speed personal flight across deep space. Additionally, his cybernetic right eye provided enhanced optical targeting, tracking, and tactical analysis during combat operations. (Nova v5 #1)
