'''Titus''' is a fictional character appearing in American [[comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]].

==Publication history==
Titus first appeared in ''Nova'' Vol. 5 #1 and was created by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness.

==Fictional character biography==
Titus is a [[white tiger]] [[alien]] who was a member of the [[Wikipedia:Supernova (Marvel Comics)#Supernovas|Supernovas]], a black ops branch of the [[Nova Corps]]. He served with Jesse Alexander (the father of [[W:Nova (Sam Alexander)|Sam Alexander]]), Mister Z'zz, The Phlish, and a few other Supernovas.<ref>''Nova'' Vol. 5 #1</ref>

Following the desertion of Jesse Alexander, Titus was attacked by the [[W:Chitauri|Chitauri]] which lead to the loss of Titus' right eye and arm causing him to replace his missing parts with cybernetics. After serving the Chitauri for several years, Titus came to Earth in search of Jesse Alexander's Nova helmet.<ref>''Nova'' Vol. 5 #3</ref>

Titus lies to Sam Alexander telling him that he had killed his father. This is not true because Jesse Alexander is being held captive by the Chitauri. When Titus finds Sam, he threatens not only him, but everything he holds dearly to him in exchange for the Ultimate Nullifier he stole from their ship. Sam then gets back his helmet from Titus and takes them both to outer space, expecting the lack of oxygen to kill Titus. When that plan fails. Sam takes out the Ultimate Nullifier and tells Titus to take his forces and leave. Titus and Sam then struggle for the gun and Sam accidentally triggers it killing Titus and an entire fleet of Chitauri.<ref>''Nova'' Vol. 5 #5</ref>

* Titus appears in the ''[[W:Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' episode "Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy," voiced by J.B. Blanc. He was a member of the Nova Corps until he betrayed it at some point and formed an alliance with the Chitauri. When Titus discovered that there was a remaining Nova Helmet on Earth wielded by Sam Alexander, he sent his forces to retrieve it. Titus fought against Spider-Man when he was helping Nova and other [[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]. Titus was defeated by Nova and was taken away by the Guardians of the Galaxy while the remaining Chitauri escaped. In "Contest of Champions" Pt. 4, Grandmaster used Titus, Doctor Octopus, Absorbing Man, and Executioner into attacking [[Captain America]] and Hawkeye. Titus was subdued by Spider-Man.

* Titus appears in ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (TV series)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' voiced again by J.B. Blanc. In the episode "Origins," Titus was present with Rhomann Dey when Drax the Destroyer turned himself over to the Nova Corps. In the episode "Take the Milano and Run," the Guardians of the Galaxy encountered Titus on the space station Cojunction after they crashed the Milano.

In the episode "Can't Fight This Seedling," Titus pursues the Guardians of the Galaxy to another planet and is tricked into crashing into an asteroid. While on the planet, Titus gets his ship repaired as he witnesses [[Groot]] infected by the parasitic fungus. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with a possessed Groot, Titus contacted Nova Corps HQ for approval of the use for an anti-matter missile. Even though he was denied, Titus still wanted to use it which led to Drax the Destroyer redirecting the anti-matter missile to the meteor that carried the parasitic fungus. While in his ship, Titus confronted the Guardians of the Galaxy to arrest them and was forced to leave when the locals threatened to take a stand. In the episode "Undercover Angle," Titus catches the Guardians of the Galaxy while they are infiltrating the Nova Corp HQ on Xandar. He decides to spare from being imprisoned on Kyln in exchange that the Guardians of the Galaxy infiltrate the Black Order in order to keep them from finding a dangerous weapon. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with the Black Order on another planet over the Universal Weapon that was previously used by Ronan the Accuser, Titus showed up and attacked both groups so that he can give the Universal Weapon to [[W:Collector (comics)|The Collector]]. This prompted a temporary truce between the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Black Order to keep the Universal Weapon from being claimed by Titus. Star-Lord was able to record Titus' confession of joining the Nova Corps to get involved with the black market and forwards it to the Nova Corps HQ. Titus is defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy and later arrested by the Nova Corps as he vows to have his revenge on Star-Lord.

==Fictional character biography==
[[File:Rocket raccoon 01.jpg|right|thumb|170px|left|Cover to ''Rocket Raccoon'' #1. Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon.]]
Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship ''Rack 'n' Ruin'', and he and his first mate Wal Russ (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld, in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats.<ref name="Hulk271">"Rocket Raccoon!" in ''The Incredible Hulk'' issue 271 (May 1982, Marvel Comics). Writer Bill Mantlo, penciller Sal Buscema.</ref>

At one point, Judson Jakes tried to steal the Halfworld Bible, but was thwarted by Rocket and the [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|Hulk]].<ref name="Hulk271" /> Later, Lord Dyvyne abducted Rocket's friend Lylla, and Jakes began the Toy War.<ref name="RRminiNo1">"Rocket Raccoon/Animal Crackers" in ''Rocket Raccoon'' issue 1 (May 1985, Marvel Comics).

In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane; ''Doctor'' Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates. The crises that Rocket half-remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief, who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other. Rocket had turned the warders into a biological "key" to keep Star-Thief locked up, and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief, whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died.<ref name="Annihilators3">"Wraithfire" in ''Annihilators'' issue 3 (July 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Tan Eng Huat, inker Victor Olazaba</ref>

The '''raccoon''' (Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled '''racoon''', also known as the '''common raccoon''', '''North American raccoon''', '''northern raccoon''', and colloquially as '''coon''', is a medium-sized [[omnivorous]] [[mammal]] native to North America

Raccoons are unusual for their thumbs, which enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans) and doors. They are intelligent, with a reputation for being clever and mischievous.
