Biography
Tyrant
For ages, Tyrant waited in the 'darkest corner of the universe', biding his time as he absorbed vast stores of energy, until he was strong enough to reclaim his empire. (Silver Surfer v3 #81) Aboard Tyrant's prison-like "Worldship" (Fortress), Tyrant enslaved many conquered races to serve his needs and maintain this techno-organic globe. (Cosmic Power Unlimited v1 #3) The Fortress, containing Tyrant and his Heavy Troopers approached known space, apparently for the first time in billions of years. (Silver Surfer v3 #78) Tyrant's Heavy Troopers incapacitated and captured Gladiator of the Imperial Guard when he investigated an anomalous power reading in uncharted space. Shortly thereafter, they encountered and subdued Beta Ray Bill, who had only just recovered from a beating at the hands of the maddened Thor. Both prisoners were taken to the Fortress. (Silver Surfer v3 #79) The Gladiator and Beta Ray Bill were placed in manacles that drained their power, adding it to Tyrant's stores. (Silver Surfer v3 #81) The return of Tyrant was detected by the sensors in the stasis chamber of Ganymede, last survivor of the Spinsterhood, and she awakened and prepared to battle against him once again. Meanwhile a group of Heavy Troopers encountered and subdued Morg and Terrax, capturing them as well. (Silver Surfer v3 #80) Morg and Terrax were placed in manacles that drained their power, adding it to Tyrant's stores. (Silver Surfer v3 #81) Ganymede joined forces with the Silver Surfer, revealing her history with Tyrant. They followed energy trails to Tyrant's Fortress, where they were assaulted by and narrowly managed to overpower some of Tyrant's Heavy Troopers. However, they were both easily defeated by Tyrant himself, who added them to his manacles. Tyrant confronted his prisoners, revealing how they would be used to power his Troopers and his Fortress while carved a new empire for himself. Meanwhile, Galactus decided to follow the trail to his missing herald, Morg. (Silver Surfer v3 #81)
Tyrant's Heavy Troopers encountered and subdued Jack of Hearts. As Tyrant taunted his prisoners with his plans, his Troopers brought in their newest prisoner, Jack of Hearts. Jack assaulted Tyrant, but he quickly saw that he could never hope to challenge Tyrant's power; Jack instead unleashed his full power, normally held in check by his suit, causing a devastating explosion which harmed Tyrant not in the least, but did destroy the manacles holding his prisoners. Joined by his Troopers, Tyrant fought off his attackers, dropping even the powerful Silver Surfer, leaving none to stand against him. None, that is, except Galactus, who arrived at last, seeking Morg. Though Tyrant was hungry for vengeance after his previous defeat, he recognized that a battle between them at that time would not benefit either of them. Tyrant agreed to withdraw if he could leave unmolested and retain one captive as a source of power. Galactus agreed, as long as it were not Morg, but Tyrant insisted that he be allowed to retain Morg, even when Galactus threatened war between them. Ultimately, it was mighty Galactus who backed down, allowing Tyrant to depart with Morg, maintaining the balance of power between them. (Silver Surfer v3 #82)
