ToyArk.com is proud to present our seventh Marvel Legends figure “Terrax”, in an on-going photo review series of the Wave 1 Marvel Legends 2012 Terrax Series action figures.
Terrax the Tamer first appears as Tyros in the title Fantastic Four, and is ruler of the city-state of Lanlak on the planetoid Birj. The cosmic entity Galactus selects Tyros as his next Herald, but first wishes for the superhero team the Fantastic Four to humble him.
When the power of the Sphinx grew beyond imagination, the Fantastic Four was forced to turn to Galactus for help. The mighty Galactus agreed, but with a price. If he would stop the Sphinx, the Fantastic Four would bring him his new herald. Having no choice but to accept, the team traveled to Birj, the home planet of Terrax. But Terrax refused to go quietly. If the Fantastic Four was to save the Earth from total annihilation, they would be forced to take the uncooperative Terrax against his will!
