Character history

Origin

The Warmaker Incident

When the supervillain and US government prisoner, Warmaker, escapes from The Vault, a super-prison located in Golden City, all the local heroes, including Titan, have to face him. While Titan is easily more powerful than Warmaker, he is overconfident and has no self-control.

Titan is near invulnerable but when the villain aims his wrist canon at him, instead of taking the hit, Titan pushes Warmaker's arm causing a skyscraper to be damaged. This endangers the lives of both the people in the building and the pedestrians on the street below.

Later, after Grace has defeated Warmaker, Titan attacks him for no reason. Warmaker strikes Titan knocking him into Rhapsody, who falls and is killed.

Catalyst

Grace uses Warmaker's escape and the death of Rhapsody as an excuse to secede from the United States. The US attacks the city attempting to force Grace's surrender. She forms Catalyst: Agents of Change to defend the city. The team consists of Titan, Rebel, Ruby, Mecha, and Warmaker, who has made a deal with Grace in exchange for freedom.

Titan, along with Mecha and Warmaker, defends the city's food source, a wheatfield, from the US attack, while the rest of Catalyst protects the city itself, which is being attacked with missiles.

The government then sends in Grenade, a cyborg solder, to attack the heroes. When Grenade is defeated by Catalyst, he releases a radioactive cloud and then self-destructs.

Using public opinion (she had the fight televised on CNN), Grace is able to force a truce with the government, gaining independence for Golden City.

Later, Titan and Grace disagree over her motives leading to his resigning from the team to "find America."
