First Appearance: Inhumans I#12 (August, 1977)
Powers/Abilities: Thraxon is an
Inhuman who may or may not have
undergone Terrigenesis. Thraxon was empowered by the Sphinx for a time
with
ionic abilities. Thraxon could store up energy in his form and
discharge it as
concussive blasts or in the form of force shields.
Thraxon has built machines
that helped him amplify his powers, allowing him to fire ionic blasts
through a
cannon or to cover the entire city of Attilan in a nearly impenetrable
ionic
force field.
Thraxon also seems to have a low-level mesmerism, getting others to follow his leadership. This power could be from the Sphinx as well, or could be some sort of Inhuman ability, perhaps related to Terrigenesis.

History: (Fantastic
Four I Annual#12 (fb) – BTS) – Thraxon was an
Inhuman who was known to the Royal Familiy for his militant beliefs.
(Fantastic Four I Annual#12 (fb)) – When the
Sphinx crashed
in Attilan, he saw a way to exploit power resources there and he
selected
Thraxon as his agent. Sphinx granted Thraxon ionic powers, the ability
to fire
concussive blasts and create force shields.
(Fantastic Four I Annual#12 (fb) – BTS) – Getting
accustomed
to his ionic powers, Thraxon built a massive weapon that could fire
energy
blasts. He also learned to create ionic force shields.
(Inhumans I#12 (fb) – BTS) – During a time when
Attilan was
wrecked and the Royal Family was gone, Thraxon made a play for power,
seeking
to organize the Inhumans behind his leadership.
(Inhumans I#12) – Thraxon challenged the Inhumans
to
rebuild the technology that their city thrived on. He instructed
Iridia, who
was loyal to him, to deliver plans to the western perimeter.
Quicksilver and
Crystal grew concerned about Thraxon's intentions.
(Fantastic Four I Annual#12 (fb)) – Seemingly
using a
mesmerism ability to enthrall the public, Thraxon rushed for the
rebuilding of
Attilan but Quicksilver protested against him, noticing that Thraxon
was
bulding a fortress. Thraxon turned his loyal Inhumans against
Quicksilver and
Crystal, and Thraxon took them down himself, hitting them with an ionic
blast.
When the Royal Family returned from space, Thraxon shot their ship out
of the
air. Thraxon, mad with power, screamed about how he planned to conquer
the
humans of Earth and let the Inhumans rise to the top. Thraxon hit
Medusa with a
full blast then threatened to kill Crystal unless the others
surrendered but
as he captured the other Inhumans, Lockjaw escaped, taking Crystal with
him.
(Fantastic Four I Annual#12) – Crystal, with
Lockjaw,
returned the Human Torch to Attilan, where Thraxon used an ion cannon
and the force fields to protect himself from them. Resistant to their
flames
and elemental attacks, Thraxon announced his plans to cover all of
Attilan in a
force field. Crystal returned with the Fantastic Four and the Invisible
Woman
managed to shatter the ionic force field. As the heroes burst in,
Thraxon
launched a space vehicle with the Royal Family inside into space, where
the
Sphinx planned to exploit the powers of Black Bolt. As the ship moved
into
space, Thraxon suddenly realized that his power had been stripped from
him by the Sphinx. The
Fantastic Four easily defeated Thraxon then left him to the Inhumans
while they
headed into space. They later defeated the Sphinx as well.
