History

Sui-San was a Skrull and the only survivor of a battle in the Kree-Skrull War which was fought on Titan.

When the Eternal A'Lars in self-imposed exile arrived on Titan, he encountered Sui-San who introduced herself as the last member of the Titanian Eternals. Seeing in her a mate with whom to repopulate the dead moon, A'Lars took her as his wife.[1]

Their firstborn was Thanos, who was born with a ridged chin and purple skin. Realizing that she needed to reshape her internal organs in addition to her external, her next child Eros bore no trace of his Skrull heritage. As a child, Thanos stumbled upon his mother in her Skrull form, who told him to keep her true form a secret, and that she would be killed if the truth was known.[2]

Thanos grew to hate and resent the rest of his family, eventually prompting him to leave Titan. He was discovered by Death, an Elder of the Universe. Death impersonated his mother, and Thanos grew to believe that she needed life to sustain herself. This prompted him to attack Titan, beginning his life as the universe's greatest mass-murderer. Thanos' real mother, Sui-San, died in the attack, her death covered up by A'Lars, who now realized she had not been what he believed her to be.[2]

Thanos eventually learned the truth, and avenged his mother by killing Death.[2]
