    Terrax is a fictional supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. First appearing in the pages of Fantastic Four, Terrax became a regular villain of the mid-nineties comic New Warriors. Once a herald of Galactus, Terrax often finds himself battling the Silver Surfer and other heroes with a cosmic bent.

    Terrax was originally known as Tyros, ruler of the city Lanlak on the planetoid Birj, which was a satellite of the gas giant Marman. Terrax possessed limited powers over the elements of earth and he abused these powers in order to become tyrant over his people. Terrax was ruthless and cruel, which brought him to the attention of Galactus, who had decided that the weakness of his former Heralds had been their compassion. Galactus compelled the Fantastic Four against their will to retrieve Tyros for him, in exchange for assisting the Four in combatting the Sphinx.

    Empowered with the "power cosmic," Tyros became "Terrax the Tamer, master of all things rock and earth." But his ambition and power-lust drove him to challenge Galactus, who easily defeated him by stripping away the power cosmic.

    Later, in the "Trial of Galactus" story-arc in Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom used his technological expertise to restore some of Terrax's former power, in exchange for his help in destroying the Fantastic Four. During the battle, Silver Surfer appeared and ultimately destroyed him.

    Notable appearances include New Warriors issue #1, in which Terrax is the threat that unites the fledgling super-hero team; and Fantastic Four Issue #258, in which he waxes nostalgic about his destructive powers. Another notable appearance was in the GLX Christmas Special, where he was beaten easily by Squirrel Girl.
