Mentor

Mentor (A'Lars) is an Eternal of Titan and father of both Eros and the infamous Thanos. After leaving Earth's Eternals, he settled on Saturn's moon Titan, where he built a civilization and sired his two vastly different sons.

Born into the Bronze Age with a debut in Strange #101 (1978) under the creative hands of Steve Gerber and Don Heck, Mentor is a character whose nearly five-decade presence in the catalog speaks to a quiet but enduring staying power. Published by Editions Lug — the beloved French imprint that brought Marvel's cosmos to Francophone readers — Mentor's adventures unfold in the company of some genuinely heavy hitters: A'Lars, Éros, Thanos, Captain America, and Spider-Man share pages with this figure, placing them at the heart of stories that swing from street-level heroics to cosmic drama. With appearances across Strange, Les Eternels, and Captain Marvel - La vie de Captain Marvel, and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Mentor may not be the loudest name in the room — but for fans of the French Marvel publishing tradition and the rich Bronze Age cosmos it celebrated, this is exactly the kind of character worth seeking out.
