It\u2019s sometimes easy to forget that virtually every major player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was largely unknown to mainstream audiences at one point or another.<\/p>\n

Before 2008, many people thought that Iron Man was a robot while, in 2012, a lot of movie-goers had no clue who that grinning purple alien was in The Avengers\u2019 post-credits scene.<\/p>\n

But now, Thanos has been established as one of the most iconic movie villains of the past 20 years and we\u2019re about to meet another member of his family in Marvel\u2019s Eternals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, while the post-credits scenes in previous MCU films have been a closely guarded secret, details about the sting at the end of Eternals hit the internet weeks before the film had been released.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve managed to avoid specifics thus far, don\u2019t worry \u2013 we\u2019re not spoiling them here. However, we would simply say that the character of Eros, also known as Starfox, is one to watch moving forward.<\/p>\n

Read on for a briefing on his comic book history, while you can also check out our guide to the Eternals cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who is Eros AKA Starfox in Marvel\u2019s Eternals?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Eros is the younger brother of Thanos, the mad titan who gave the Avengers a run for their money in the recent crossover films and has a similarly formidable track record in the comic books.<\/p>\n
However, siblings often grow up to be very different people and that certainly was the case here, with Eros fixated on pursuing a life of travel and hedonism, while big bro had more malicious intentions.<\/p>\n
Eros initially showed little to no interest in heroism, but this changed when one of Thanos\u2019 vicious attacks led to the death of their mother, Sui-San, instantly turning the siblings into sworn enemies.<\/p>\n
In later years, Eros stepped up to lead the fight against his brother \u2013 wielding strength and cosmic energy powers similar to the other Eternals \u2013 teaming up with Earth\u2019s mightiest heroes, the Avengers, on one such occasion.<\/p>\n
