History
Menœtius is the son of two of the Twelve Titans of Ancient Greek mythology. His name can be loosely translated as “doomed power”. Though not having a god-like role like the Twelve Titans, he was considered a minor god of violence and recklessness.
This Titanson was a glorious but reckless and overbearing warrior. But he behaved insolently toward Zeus. He was predictably smitten by a lightning bolt and sent to Tartarus for an eternity, among the fields of the reviled dead.
Menœtius was once summoned from the netherworld by the Huntsman of Zeus to fight super-heroes, the Champions. The undead giant was taken down by the Black Widow (Natalia Romanova). As he was standing in half-melted ice, she shot a metallic Widow’s line anchored to a flagpole at him, shorting him out.
He presumably returned to Erebos.
Menœtius chases the Angel.

Design Notes
There’s very little material, so much of the entry is speculative. Furthermore I haven’t studied the Titans in the Marvel Universe, so there might be boilerplate Titanic powers he’s missing.
Further furthermore, this only describes him in his undead, lightning-infused state.
