Centurious An ancient, possibly immortal being who, using the Crystal of Souls, steals the souls from other people and feeds off their energy. Thousands of years ago, during the rise of the Zarathos cult, he was a prince who sold his soul to Mephisto and acted as his agent against the demon in order to save the life of the woman he loved. After the downfall of the spirit of vengeance, he left the woman, unable to love or feel without a soul, an for centuries he wandered the Earth, his ties with humanity getting more and more tenuous. He studied the arcane arts in ancient Egypt, and stole the Crystal of Souls in hopes of regaining what he had lost, but Mephisto made sure that no soul would long reside in his body. Centuries later, a mere husk of his former self, he set up shop in an old southern plantation in the middle of nowhere and was feeding off any souls that he could get his hands on. Ghost Rider IV fell into his bevy of mindless, soulless slaves and to stop him, hit him with a blast of Hell-fire, not only releasing the souls he had collected, but awakening in him the desire for revenge on Zarathos for what he did all those millennia ago. To get his revenge, he set up shop in the small town of Holly, where Johnny Blaze's girl friend, Roxanne Simpson was currently residing, and with the help of a crooked preacher called the Soul Eater, they began to suck the town dry. As expected, Rocky sought Johnny's help and consequently GR, or the spirit of Zarathos. He removes Blaze from the mix, and without him, Zarathos' power begins to flag and Centurious nearly kills him. However, not to be counted out yet, Zarathos rallies his last bit of power and splits the Crystal, releasing all the souls and sucking Centurious into the vacuum. With the preacher's help, Zarathos follows him, an together they are trapped inside the Crystal, locked in eternal combat.

Cerebrus A megalomaniacal computer which ruled over the Earth and all human kind in an alternate 24th century.

Unfortunately, it continued growing, soon under its own power, until it eventually took complete control, covering the planet with its tentacle like Tracking Coils and began using humans as mindless slaves. Four hundred years later, a group of rebels got the idea of bringing Tony Stark forward in time and killing him before he would create the master computer. Unwittingly, in bringing Stark forward, they also got his 'bodyguard' Iron Man I. The computer did everything it could to stop the golden Avenger, pitching its robot guards at him and forming solid holograms, but, in a moment of confusion when it learned that it was trying to kill its creator which would produce a paradox, it was vulnerable to attack and was destroyed.

He pitted just about everyone he's ever met since becoming GR against him, and, just when he thought he had Blaze bested, he revealed his true nature and the nature of the challenge. But GR was just getting warmed up, and when he realized the demon's only weapons were lies and deceit, he bested him with hell-Fire and good old fashioned left cross [GHR2 #19].

In his new enlarged form, he has enhanced strength and near invulnerability, has blinding rays emanating from his eyes, and has the ability to walk up walls. His first test in his new form was to rob a bank and get the attention of Cap and lure him into a prearranged death trap, but the star spangled avenger defeated him by shorting him out with an exposed power cable.

Usually the leader of the X-team he's currently a part of (although he lost the leadership of the primary X-Men to Storm). Long time romance with Jean Grey. Cyclops has always taken his abilities very seriously because of the ease in which he could lose control over them, and he takes his responsibility of his leadership an the realization of Prof. X's goals very seriously both of which to the point that he has been labeled every from antisocial to a sycophant of Xavier's vision. After years of being deputy leader of the team, he contemplates leaving the fold with the rest of the old roster following the events with Krakoa (which boosted his powers), but decides to continue his work following Xavier's dream, even though it meant parting from Jean for a while [UXM #94]. Their relationship picked up again shortly thereafter when the team was dealing with the new Sentinels, during which Jean was 'killed' and replaced by Phoenix II [UXM #101] and their relationship, although different, continued at an accelerated rate until it was assumed that she and Beast had died in the destruction of Magneto's Antarctic Base [UXM #113]. After the rest of the team escaped to the Savage Land and eventually ended up in Japan, a short term relationship budded with Colleen Wing [UXM #122]. It didn't last, and soon he was back with Phoenix (during which time she established their psychic rapport), only to lose her again to Jason Wyngarde and the Hellfire Club. REL: Son of Corsair and Katherine Summers. Brother of Havok. Ex-husband of Madeline Pryor. Father of Nathan Dayspring Summers/Cable and Phoenix III. GA: X-Men, X-Factor.
