After being corrupted by a program left behind by the mad Titan Thanos, ISAAC the super computer, that served the Titan colony of Eternals plotted to conquer the moon of Saturn in Thanos' name. The computer used the Life Baths of Titan to genetically engineer a team of lieutenants. They were to lead his forces. Elysius was one of his earliest creations. At first she found herself attracted to Eros (Starfox), the son of Titan's leader Mentor.
The Kree hero Captain Marvel came to Titan accompanied by Drax the Destroyer to oppose ISSAC. Elysius confronted them with her genetically engineered griffins. She commanded the griffins telepathically to do her bidding. They refused to follow her commands sensing Captain Marvel to be serene and honorable. She trusted her pets' instincts and became attracted to the warrior. Elysius helped Marvel and Drax purge Thanos' influence from ISAAC.
Elysius raised Genis on the far flung planet of Paraxis. He believed Starfox to be his father. As he grew older he left Paraxis for fun and adventure. Elysius asked a Herald of Galactus, the Silver Surfer to retrieve him, and present him with a pair of Nega-Bands, like those worn by his father Marvel. Genis began to follow in his fathers heroic footsteps. He took on various names such as Legacy, Captain Marvel and Photon.
Genis once accidentally exposed Elysius to an alien disease that began to kill her. He managed to save her life by aiding Thanos in a game against one of the Elders of the Universe known as the Grandmaster. Elysius was later slain by Syphonn, a conqueror from the Negative Zone. He animated the dead corps of Marvel to do his bidding. Genis aided the golden cosmic adventurer Adam Warlock and the ex-members of the Infinity Watch, in bringing Syphonn to defeat.
Genis would soon be manipulated by the cosmic entities Entropy and Epiphany into helping them recreate the universe. Recreating the universe caused subtle alterations in the timeline. Genis was unaware of at first, that this action revived Elysius' life. Newly resurrected she created a daughter, Phyla-Vell, to follow in Genis' footsteps. Elysius used the same process that brought Genis to life, to create Phyla.
