History: (Official
Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Deluxe Edition
I#6 – Inhumans entry – BTS) – Stallior and his brother Chiron were born
with
centaur-like appearances due to hereditary transfer of ten generations
of
Terrigenated attributes.
(Incredible Hulk II Annual#1 (fb) – BTS) – A group
of
Inhumans gathered together, seeking to overthrow Black Bolt as the
ruler of
Attilan, wanting to take over the city themselves. The group included
Stallior the Centaur, Falcona, Leonus, Aireo, Timberius and Nebulo. The
group
attacked the city but they were defeated.
(Incredible Hulk II Annual#1) – Stallior and his
allies
were put on trial, presided over by Black Bolt and the Oracle. When
Stallior
tried to turn on the others for his own gain, he was attacked by his
allies.
Black Bolt stopped the fight and, ignoring the cries of Maximus the Mad
that
Black Bolt should be the one on trial, the king found the six guilty
and
sentenced them to imprisonment in the Un-Place in another dimension
behind an
impenetrable shield. The group was shocked when Lockjaw later
teleported the
Hulk into the Un-Place as well. Hulk, refusing all offers of alliance
from the
imprisoned Inhumans, began smashing at the barrier and after several
blows, smashed
it, freeing the Inhumans along with him. Maximus the Mad teleported to
the
Un-Place and teleported the group back to Attilan, where he unleashed
Hulk on
the city while he took the others into his secret lab. After taking
them
through the lab, Maximus told them of the ancient scientist Romnar,
who
had left behind a deadly weapon that was behind a strong barrier.
Maximus hoped
the Hulk could break through it and that he could use the weapon to
take over
Attilan. Back in the lab, Hulk agreed to be friends with the Inhumans
and he
smashed the barrier, releasing Romnar's substance, which Maximus then
weaponized. Maximus demanded control over the entire city and the
Inhumans
realized he was mad with power and turned against him. When Hulk
attacked the
Inhumans, Timberius and his allies turned on him, hoping to win the
favor of
the city so they could seize control of it. Stallior led a charge
against him,
wrapping the Hulk in chains, then Leonus slashed at Hulk with his claws
as
Timberius pounded on him but Hulk easily tossed all three aside. As
Black Bolt
defeated Maximus, Nebulo seized Romnar's weapon. Black Bolt soon
defeated Hulk
and Maximus and got control of Nebulo's weapon.
(Fantastic Four I#83 (fb) – BTS) – Maximus seized
control of
the crown, imprisoning the Royal Family (Black Bolt, Triton, Karnak,
Gorgon)
while using science and hypnosis to keep control of Medusa and Lockjaw.
Maximus
managed to capture the Fantastic Four (Crystal, Human Torch, Mr.
Fantastic,
Thing) as well then made plans to conquer the world. Aireo, Stallior,
Leonus,
Falcona and Timberius continued serving him.
(Fantastic Four I#83) – Maximus had Stallior and
the others
attend to him in the baths then he forced them to bow after they
dressed him
for the day. Maximus prepared to activate the Hypno-Ray that would help
him
attack the human world but the Royal Family and Fantastic Four escaped
and
destroyed it. Maximus fled (riding on Stallior's back) with his five
allies
then they boarded a ship into space to find freedom.
(Incredible Hulk II#119 (fb) – BTS) – Maximus took
Stallior
and the others back to Earth, where Nebulo rejoined the team. Maximus
hypnotized the civilians of Costa Salvador, making them mindless slaves
while
he took over ruling the land. He planned to expand his power outward.
(Incredible Hulk II#119) – When the Hulk attacked,
the
others fought back, with Stallior using his ball and chain. When the
American
military attacked, Maximus invited Hulk to join them.
(Incredible Hulk II#120) – While the Hulk held off
the
military, the Inhumans fought amongst themselves about whether they
should turn
on the Hulk. Maximus was prepared to kill those in the military so Hulk
fought
back and Maximus unleashed a giant robot he'd developed. Hulk destroyed
the
robot and Maximus fled in a rocket with Stallior and other Inhumans.
(Amazing Adventures II#1 (fb) –BTS) – Maximus set
up base on
a remote island, where he forced Stallior (who he called Centarius),
Leonus,
Aireo and Timberius to wait on him hand
and foot. Maximus prepared missiles to send against the Royal Family in
Attilan.
(Amazing Adventures II#1) – Stallior and his
allies tended
to Maximus while the missiles were launched.
(Amazing Adventures II#2) – Maximus manipulated
the Royal
Family into fighting the Fantastic Four as Aireo, Leonus, Stallior and
Timberius tended to him. Soon, Maximus was captured by the Royal
Family, who
defeated him and stopped the missiles.
(Silver Surfer I#18 (fb) – BTS) – Maximus and his
followers
were exiled from the city and forced to live on their own while Black
Bolt
controlled the Great Refuge.
(Silver Surfer I#18) – When Silver Surfer got
close to
Attilan, Maximus sent Aireo, Leonus, Stallior and Timberius against
him.
Stallior knocked Surfer into Leonus' grip and Leonus leaped at Surfer
but the Surfer's board knocked Leonus to the side. After Surfer
fought the Royal Family, Maximus and his allies attacked Attilan in
their
air-ship, firing electron bolts on the palace, but the ship was soon
repelled
by the Royal Family.
(Inhumans I#1 (fb) – BTS) – Stallior and Centarius
were
appointed to guard the cell of Maximus the Mad. When Maximus began
ranting
about unseen dangers, the centaurs grew alarmed.
(Inhumans I#1) – Stallior and Centarius went to
the Royal
Family (Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Triton) and told them about
Maximus. Black
Bolt put Maximus to sleep with his electron powers.
(Inhumans I#2) – Stallior and Centarius were among
the
Inhumans who saw the fall of the Kree Kaptroids.
They then saw the Inhuman
Iridia emerge from a Terrigen cocoon, beautiful and with butterfly
wings.
(Inhumans I#5 (fb)) – Leonus, under the control of
a Kree
energy source, touched Stallior and then Maximus, the source taking
over their
minds as well. Maximus sought to control Attilan again (recruiting
others, like
Makus) and captured Quicksilver and Crystal, promising to fire a cannon
at them
if the populace did not surrender.
(Inhumans I#5) – Leonus and Stallior were chaining
up Black
Bolt, Medusa and Gorgon when Maximus saw Lockjaw escaping with Karnak
and
Triton.
(Inhumans I#6) – Black Bolt destroyed part of
Attilan with
his voice. As he gave a speech, through Medusa, about taking the
Inhumans into
space, Maximus and the mind-controlled Inhumans, including Leonus,
Timberius,
Aireo, Falcona and Stallior, prepared to fire a cannon on the Royal
Family
but they were swiftly defeated.
(Marvel Fanfare I#14/2) – When Quicksilver was
accused of
stealing the Royal Scepter, Stallior was one of the Inhumans who went
after
him but Aireo was exposed as the real thief.
(Avengers I Annual#12) –
Stallior was present on Attilan, which was now on the Blue Area
of the
Moon, when the Avengers arrived.
(Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising#1) – When Attilan
was
threatened, the Fantastic Four, with Dr. Doom (Kristoff Vernard),
shrank it
down and returned the city to Earth to save it. Maximus the Mad, with
Leonus,
Stallior, Nebulo and Timberius, was enlarged but then attacked the
heroes.
(Fantastic Four I#401) – With Leonus, Stallior,
Timberius
and Nebulo flanking him, Maximus ordered the Inhuman ship to go on to
Atlantis,
where they could claim their land. The Inhumans soon saw the diminutive
Fantastic Four (Ant-Man/Scott Lang, Dr. Doom/Kristoff Vernard,
Invisible
Woman, Thing) escape the shrunken Attilan. Dr. Doom fired a shot at
Stallior,
causing his mace to misfire and hit Timberius. Dr. Doom then flew into
the air,
hitting Stallior with a laser pulse.
(Uncanny Avengers III#6) – Stallior was present in
New
Attilan, at its new location in New York City, as Medusa walked the
streets.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#12) – When New Attilan was threatened with attack, Medusa ordered the city to be placed on lockdown. Stallior rushed inside with his fellow civilians before the shields came down.
Comments: Created by Gary Friedrich, Marie Severin, Syd Shores, Frank Giacoia and John Verpoorten.
The "League of Evil Inhumans" is never officially
called
that in the comics but Stallior is most associated with Falcona,
Nebula,
Leonus, Aireo and Timberius.
It could be Centarius or Chiron in Uncanny
Avengers III#16
and Avengers I Annual#12 but it is likely Stallior.
Stallior and his brother Chiron achieved the same
mutation
from hereditary transfer of Terrigenated genes, that of a centaur.
While both
like to wear armor associated with Roman soldiers, Stallior leans more
toward
using a mace in combat. It is likely rare for brothers to develop the
same
mutation. Another Inhuman, Centarius, is also an Inhuman centaur,
though any
connections to Chiron and Stallior is unrevealed.
There are some appearances in this profile that I
attached
to Stallior but they could technically be Chiron or another member of
the
centaur-line.
It is unrevealed in how many of his appearances that Stallior was being mentally influenced by Maximus.
