Grandmaster Marvel. Marvel Universe

The Collector (Marvel) is a character who, thanks to immortality, has existed for about five billion years. He is the Elder of the Universe and has been living in estrangement since his wife died. One day, another Elder - Grandmaster, helped him return his wife, but she did not take root, so she died again. As a result, the Collector (Marvel, photo below) came to terms with his loneliness and began to look for a suitable occupation. And he found it. He enjoyed collecting rare things, as well as interesting inhabitants of the universe. And there were reasons for this.

The fact is that Taneleer Tivan had a vision that someday the universe will disappear. Even the elders will disappear, and the cosmic villain Thanos will be to blame. Hence his hobby. True, collecting rare life forms often brought him trouble, because many did not want to become his exhibits at all.

Avengers Hunt

Over time, space on the huge ship ran out, and Tivan “The Collector” (Marvel) began looking for other storage facilities for his hobby. He had to buy a planet, then another, and soon his warehouses were storing rare specimens, collected from the surfaces of hundreds of different planets.

When he reached Earth, his attention was attracted by the Avengers - a team of powerful superheroes. Inspired by their exploits, he immediately wanted to add them to his collection. But he managed to capture only a few of them, and then not for long.

For example, he captured Wasp, Beetle and some other Avengers. He was going to use them to capture the Hulk. But it was a bad idea. As a result, the green mutant escaped, freeing many other prisoners.

Tiwana Zoo

Be that as it may, contact with earthlings still provided the Collector with certain opportunities. He managed to build a huge underground zoo in Canada. There were exhibits such as the alien Fin Fang Foom, the monster Droom, the winged dragon Grogg, the sentient tree Groot and other creatures. He loved all these unique creatures. This is probably why he was so drawn to the Earth. The only problem is that he often left his zoo unattended.

One day, his underground storage facility was discovered by a creature from the underworld - the Mole Man. He released all the monsters so that they could rise to the surface and make a mess there, because the Mole had long felt hatred for all humanity. Fortunately, the half-blind man's plan was not carried out, as the Hulk, Giant Man (Hank Pym) and the Fantastic Four quickly calmed the monsters.

Team "Brothers"

Time passed, and Tivan’s craving for earthly inhabitants only grew. In desperation, the Collector (Marvel) decides to commit a terrible act - destroy the planet in order to calmly take everything he needs. To do this, he decided to use the "Brothers" - a deadly team created by an alien race from bacteria. After all, it couldn’t be simpler - to arrange an escape for powerful aliens so that they can do all the dirty work.

The "Brothers" attacked Earth, where they were met by the Avengers. But after long and large-scale battles, the bacteria realized that they had been manipulated all this time. So they turn against Tivan and defeat him.

Trap for Thor

One day, serious weather changes began to occur on Earth. And the whole point is that the living planet Ego, created by a certain Stranger, flew past. Wanting to find out what was the matter, Thor went to the Elder, but the Collector (Marvel) received him with hostility, and a small battle ensued between them. Tivan had to stop the fight because he was worried about his collections. True, he did not drive away the god of thunder, but showed him his exhibits, among which was Alter Ego - the twin of the planet Ego, also created by the Stranger for experimental purposes.

Thor did not like the fact that Tanelir Tivan was keeping such a powerful being locked up. He vows to free the prisoner, but the Collector (Marvel) has already figured out his plan and, with the help of an elemental named Zephyr, lured Thor into a trap. It is sent to a special storage facility intended for particularly intractable specimens. It only turns out that Zephyr has known the Asgardian God for a long time, so she helps him escape, and he frees Alter Ego. Having learned about his assistant’s betrayal, Tivan is going to send her to the Black Hole, but she manages to escape.

Capabilities

Like any Elder of the universe, the Collector has certain abilities:

• Immortality. A long-standing deal with Death doomed Taneleer to eternal life. He does not get sick, his body cannot be injured, he can even restore lost limbs. Unless, of course, you spray it into atoms, as a cyborg named Korvac once did.
• The gift of foresight. Yes, he can see the future. This is how he was able to foresee the threat in the face of the mutant Thanos.
• Increased characteristics. The Collector (Marvel) has an incredible amount of strength, endurance and agility. But of course, he is the Elder of the Universe.
• Use of cosmic energy. This ability helps him change his height and appearance, as well as perform energy attacks.
• Increased intelligence. For long life The collector has gained a huge amount of knowledge and is therefore an expert in many fields.
• Combat technologies. Tanelir has many offensive items at his disposal: lasers, cannons, bombs, combat suits, potions and all kinds of weapons. How else can he protect his favorite collections?

Biography of Tombstone

Lonnie Lincoln was born an albino and was therefore the object of ridicule at school. However, one of the schoolchildren did not mock him, and it was Joe "Robbie" Robertson, the future correspondent of the Daily Bugle newspaper. This caused Lonnie to become strangely loyal to his "friend", but this did not stop the intimidation of Robertson, who planned to write an article for the school newspaper exposing Lonnie as an extortionist. After graduation high school Lonnie and Robbie broke up. Lonnie, thanks to his intimidating image and fighting skills acquired in numerous street fights, became known on the streets as Tombstone. During this time, Robertson became a reporter for a local newspaper.

Several years after they separated, Robertson went to meet an informant and saw him assassinated by Lincoln. Robertson testified against Tombstone and he was arrested, but later escaped from prison. In their next meeting, Tombstone set up an ambush on Robertson at the Osborn Chemical Plant, but the trap was discovered by Spider-Man. During the incident, Robertson shot Tombstone, sending him into a room containing the experimental chemical Dioxin-3, which gave Lonnie superhuman abilities.

Biography

Although his exact origins are unknown, the Grandmaster is one of the most ancient beings in the universe. He is also one of the first representatives intelligent race, which began to develop after the Big Bang. He once possessed the Mind Gem, one of the six Infinity Gems, but lost it. He is a space player and prefers a game where two teams fight against each other. He has used Squadron Sinister, Daredevil, the Defenders, East and West Coast Avengers, Malibu Comics' Ultra Force, and DC Comics' Justice League of America.

In his first appearance, the Grandmaster faced off against Kang the Conqueror, using the Avengers and Squadron Sinister as their pawns. After Kang's champions, the Avengers, defeated Squadron Sinister, the Grandmaster called upon the World War II heroes, the Invaders. If Kang wins, the Grandmaster will grant him the power of life or death for a time. If Kang loses, the Grandmaster will destroy the Earth. Fortunately, the champions of Kang were victorious.

Later, back in the 20th century, the Grandmaster used Daredevil and the Defenders as his pawns against the sentient robot Prime Mover, which was created by Doctor Doom. Having won, the Grandmaster takes control of the Earth, but abandoned it after losing a bet to Daredevil.

Soon, the Grandmaster decided to challenge Death. If the Grandmaster wins, the Collector will be revived, but if he loses, he will also die. The Grandmaster also promised that if he won, he would never use Earth's heroes as his pawns again. The Grandmaster's team won, but Death said that in order for the Collector to return to life, someone else's life must be sacrificed in return. Death offered him to use the lives of one of the heroes, but the Grandmaster decided not to break his promise and therefore, he sacrificed his life to resurrect the Collector.

The Grandmaster returned from the grave to punish the East and West Coast Avengers during one of his annual games, he believed that since he had returned from the dead, he was free of his earlier promise to "leave Earth's heroes alone." Then, he again used the Avengers team in the game against Death. This time the team was opposed by the Legion of the Unliving. This time the Grandmaster won immortality for himself and all the other Elders.

The Elders of the Universe later conspired to kill him, using the Infinity Stones against him. This plan failed, resulting in the Grandmaster being absorbed into Galactus as punishment. But since he cannot die, he and the other Elders survived inside Galactus, which nearly killed him. As a result, the Elders were freed by Master Order and Lord Chaos, after which they helped Galactus defeat the In-Betweener.

After this, the Grandmaster took possession of the Mind Stone, which he had until the Mad Titan arrived. By this time, Thanos had five Infinity Stones, in addition to the Grandmaster's stone, who had no intention of losing it. Ghast was aware of the arrival of the powerful Thanos and was already ready to fight him in the game. He fought against Thanos in a game like virtual reality, in which superior tactical knowledge and his vast experience in battle gave Thanos an unbeatable advantage. But the Grandmaster did something he rarely does, he decided to cheat. But he couldn’t even imagine that Thanos had already played dishonestly in advance. He thought that he was playing against Thanos, but in fact the Grandmaster was not playing with the real Thanos, but only a copy created thanks to the power of the Infinity Stones he had. Ultimately, Thanos obtained the Mind Stone and left the Grandmaster trapped in his own game.
