-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Created In his masters image, Tyrant has the same powers and abilities as Galactus and at one point to virtually the same extent and power. Tyrant can emit very powerful energy burst from both his hands and eyes. He possessed enormous cosmic power. He could absorb and channel a tremendous amount of cosmic energy for destructive purposes. He possessed vast indeterminable levels of superhuman strength, and was incredibly resistant to physical injuries. Being of bio-mechanical properties, Tyrant was effectively immortal. He can employ the Power Cosmic to produce nearly any effect he desires, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the teleportation of objects (and himself) across space and time. He also has the ability to alter his size at will, and erect amazingly strong energy force fields. Like Galactus he also possesses the power of telepathy and telekinesis, but on a much smaller scale than his creator. Tyrant also had the ability to psionically control any technology that he came into contact with at will.
In his original form, Tyrant was as large as Galactus and nearly as powerful. After Tyrant's eventual defeat and depowerement at the hands of Galactus eons ago he was reduced to his lesser modern state. When Tyrant was last seen he drew on the energy of planetary biospheres and proved capable of feeding on the energy blasts of a starved Galactus.
In his diminished form Tyrant's power was initially portrayed as dependent on feeding from containers of superhuman energy, and directly proportional to the amount he had available. When at full power, he proved capable of defeating an alliance of super-powered beings which included Silver Surfer, Morg, Terrax, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator, Ganymede, and Jack of Hearts.
When temporarily denied access to his containers, Terrax, Ganymede, and Jack of Hearts alone managed to keep Tyrant busy for a period of time, and Thanos managed to barely fight him to a standstill through empowering himself by using one of them.
In addition, Tyrant commanded a number of robots who proved powerful enough to incapacitate the likes of Gladiator and Morg.
Learned Abilities: Tyrant appears to have vast knowledge of the living universe and cybernetics.
Equipment: Tyrant is in possession of cosmic spheres which bare unexplored levels of cosmic energies. These items are obviously of great power as implied by Thanos risking his very existence to obtain one.
Weaknesses (Must Have): The Ultimate Nullifier
Background: In the distant past, the devourer of worlds, Galactus, created an immensely powerful cosmic being in his own image: Tyrant. However, unlike his creator, Tyrant developed a lust for tyranny and conquest that directly conflicted with Galactus' desire to do only what is necessary to survive. Tyrant's conquests aroused opposition in many forms including an order of super-powered female warriors called the Spinsterhood, of which Ganymede was a member.
Eventually, Galactus learned of Tyrant's betrayal and engaged him in a titanic battle that unleashed energies that (according to Thanos) may have destroyed whole galaxies.
In the end, Galactus defeated Tyrant, stripped him of the bulk of his power (thereby reducing him to his current stature and power levels), and banished him to the farthest corners of the universe. The Spinsters mistakenly believed they were responsible for driving Tyrant away, when in fact it was his defeat and depowerment at the hands of Galactus that had done so, as Ganymede later learned.
Tyrant returns eons later with a vast arsenal he built during his exile to resume his conquest. He kidnapps a varied selection of space-faring heroes and villains in order to harness their combined powers for himself. Those kidnapped by Tyrant to this end were Silver Surfer, Terrax, Morg, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator, Jack of Hearts and Ganymede. Jack of Hearts, the last of the captives to have been captured, managed to destroy the containment unit before he could be put into it, rendering him unconscious for the remainder of the ensuing battle but freeing the others. Tyrant defeated them all, seeming to "toy" with them in the process. At the end of the conflict, Galactus himself arrived, searching for Morg, his current herald. Galactus' arrival disrupted the battle so Tyrant decided to offer all the others' freedom to Galactus in exchange for Morg. Galactus reluctantly accepted. Thanos of Titan, seeking a challenge, learned of Tyrant's existence. He allied himself with Terrax, Ganymede, Jack of Hearts and Captain Marvel to learn about Tyrant.
When the group attacked Tyrant's fortress, Thanos abandoned his allies to access Tyrant's computers while they battled Tyrant. Thanos learned of Tyrant's origin and of his defeat at the hands of Galactus. After his former allies were defeated he threatened to steal the orb containing Morg's energy that Tyrant drained from him. He challenged Tyrant to stop him. Thanos, through the aid of the the stolen orb, was able to withstand Tyrant's attacks while the others escaped on Thanos' ship leaving him alone against Tyrant. In the end, after surviving a tremendous assault that destroyed much of Tyrant's fortress, Thanos teleported away. Thanos declared that he had gained what he sought (the said power orb) so further conflict was pointless. He also pointed out to Tyrant that being able to hold his own against him was a success in itself.
Tyrant later revives the herald Morg and implant mental controls in his mind to make him do his bidding. He allowed Morg to return to Galactus as a ruse, but Morg managed to defy Tyrant; seeking out the Ultimate Nullifier, the only weapon in the known universe that even Galactus feared. In a final battle between Galactus and Tyrant, Morg used the Ultimate Nullifier, destroying Galactus' ship and seemingly destroying everyone aboard - including Tyrant.
Galactus later reappeared - it was revealed that he had avoided nullification by escaping into a parallel dimension. Morg (only as a corpse) and Air-Walker later resurfaced during Marvel's Annihilation event. Tyrant for quite some time was assumed dead. However, recently the nigh clone of the world-eater, Galactus, has come to Earth to rebuild his destroyed fortress. After he drains the warriors of the planet he will seek to become the absolute ruler of Earth.
Personality: Living up to his name he is extremely tyrannical, and also violent. Anyone who opposes him will die or be drained and then killed. Tyrant is a merciless and cruel being, caring only about himself and conquest.
Other: New account will be made if approved.

Brief Sample Roleplay
The blue and silver armored colossal being appeared on a busy street in NYC. Tyrant stood at almost 7-feet tall at the moment, his steel-covered muscles bulging to intimidating proportions. His glowing eyes locked on the 1-ton pick-up truck zooming toward him, and before the driver knew what was before him he and his vehicle had been blasted into practically nothing by a burst of energy that erupted from Tyrant’s eyes. The great being chuckled slightly as a smirk crossed his dark blue lips. “Still so primitive.” He thought aloud as he started to walk down the street with cars swerving out of his way, causing dozens of accidents.
After a little while the police showed up, but weren’t there for long. They saw Tyrant, and immediately surmised that he was at the root of everything. They started spouting orders, which only annoyed the past servant of Galactus. Another blast of energy shot forth from his eyes, destroying one of the patrol cars. Then the bullets started flying. They proved useless against Tyrant’s armor, and only seconds after the police started shooting Tyrant blasted them away with a burst of energy from his left palm. “Pathetic! If you intend to stop me send someone with real power!”
I figured he could make for a good main enemy, possibly with some other supervillain followers and/or allies. *shrug*
