Terrax is in a gladiatorial battle for a chance to win a great prize. After his victory he is offered a woman to his displeasure. He kills the host and leaves with the girl, who thanks him for setting her free. She informs him that there is a reward for her return, so he assists her and takes her home. But she has her brothers attack him as they try to take his axe. He easily kills them, including the girl. He is then met by Thanos who offers him a partnership in exchange for help in fighting Tyrant. Terrax agrees, but says they will need the help of another - Ganymede.
