Horus is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe, based loosely on the Horus of Egyptian mythology.

Fictional character biography

Horus is a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods, and resides in Celestial Heliopolis. He is the son of Osiris and Isis. Horus is the Egyptian god of justice and retribution.

Horus was revealed to have been imprisoned with Osiris and Isis in a pyramid for three thousand years by Seth. He encountered Thor and Odin. He participated in the Ceremony of Rebirth which reincarnated Odin as Atum-Re. Horus aided Osiris, Isis, and Thor in defeating Seth. Horus, Osiris, and Isis regained their freedom and returned to Heliopolis. ["Thor" #239-241]

Horus was subsequently imprisoned in Heliopolis by Seth, and then was aided by Thor and the Thing. ["Marvel Two-in-One" #23]

Horus then joined the other gods of light in combating the Demogorge. He was briefly consumed by the Demogorge, but regained his freedom. ["Thor Annual" #10]

Horus's powers were revealed to have been stolen by Seth, though he regained his powers upon Seth's defeat, and aided in saving the lives of Earth Force. ["Thor" #398-400]

Other versions

Horus appears as a member of a team of Avengers from a parallel reality where the Middle East is the dominant super power. He serves the ruler of this dimension, the tyrannical female Sphinx and kills in her name. As the God of the team, he serves the role traditionally held by Thor. In this alternate timeline, Horus uses a large ankh as the focus for his solar energy. ["New Warriors" #11-13]

Powers and abilities

Horus has all the powers of a member of the race of superhumans known as the Egyptian gods of Heliopolis. He has superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. Horus possesses the power to project solar energy, focused through his staff with a large blade at one end.
