Previous to his MCU debut, Eros has a reputation among the Marvel community, having a long, sordid, and well, uncomfortably horny history throughout his time in the comic universe. Created legendary Marvel comic artists, Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich, Starfox made his comic book debut in Issue 55 of The Invincible Iron Man, where he appeared in a flashback before sharing plotlines with some of of the MCU’s most famous heroes, including Captial Marvel, Gammora, and She-Hulk, Newsweek noted.
As for his canonical origins? Eros was born on Titan and is another son of Mentor. Yet unlike his big bro Thanos, who was born with purple, hyde-adjacent skin with the power to snap away half the universe with the snap of his fingers and generally terrify everyone who lays eyes on him, Eros definitely got all the looks genes his brother lacked, obtaining the powers of super strength, super speed and most notably, the power of being a womanizer to a highly-alarming degree, known for being able to use his powers to seduce basically whoever he wants. Despite his name’s greek roots – Eros is the Greek god of mischievous love, for those of you who stared out the window while your second-grade class studied mythology — Eros later changed his moniker to Starfox upon finding himself on good ‘ol planet Earth and entering the Avengers, as Wasp, in all of her tell-it-like-it-is glory found the name inappropriate according to Comic Book Review.
“Frankly, the president was hesitant to approve of anyone named Eros. He would rather you were called something less provocative in public,” she said. “You’re a pretty foxy guy… and you’ve been out among the stars… how about ‘Starfox!’” she added, evidently failing to realize she may have suggested what is easily both the thirstiest and ’70s-ist name the MCU has ever seen.
