History
Horus was a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods, and resides in Celestial Heliopolis. He was the son of Osiris and Isis. Horus was the Egyptian god of justice and retribution.
Horus was revealed to have been imprisoned with Osiris and Isis in a pyramid for three thousand years by Seth. He encountered Thor and Odin when the Pyramid appeared in New York. He participated in the Ceremony of Rebirth which reincarnated Odin as Atum-Re and briefly battled Thor. Horus aided Osiris, Isis, and Thor in defeating Seth. Horus, Osiris, and Isis regained their freedom and returned to Heliopolis.[1]
Horus was subsequently imprisoned in Heliopolis by Seth, and then was aided by Thor and the Thing.
Horus then joined the other gods of light in combating the Demogorge (Atum). He was briefly consumed by the Demogorge, but regained his freedom.
Horus's powers were revealed to have been stolen by Seth, though he regained his powers upon Seth's defeat, and aided in saving the lives of Earth Force.
During the Secret Invasion, Atum mentioned that Horus (his great-grandson) asked him to help fight the Skrull gods as part of the God Squad.Attributes
