This is the planet Elysian. Once, it was home to a race of high eugenic quality... Now, it's a windy, dusty, and sepia dystopia. There are twin suns, that're farther away from Elysian than Earth's sun is from it. One's smaller than the other.
Here, a trio is on the hunt. They call themselves the Titanic Three.
This is Crimson Dynamo. His exosuit is Slavic red. Inside the suit, Alex Nevsky scans the suit's heads-up display, which feeds him spicy data, like possible signatures of their quarry's presence.
He misses his sweetheart, Janice Cord. Alas, she seems to over-prefer her job at Stark International these days... That part of Stark Industries used to be her own company, Cord Industries. Alas, she didn't agree with Alex, when he tried to tell her, flirtateously, that she was more qualified to be CEO of a company than her father. (Her father would've been her predecessor, if she hadn't sold the company to the Starks.)
This is Radioactive Man. He's bright green...but not with envy; with radiation. His eyes lack pupils. He glows almost as brightly as a star. With the power of a star in his chest, and all over his body, Chen Lu is the gunship of the trio.
And finally, this is Titanium Man. He's a mecha, whose suit makes Crimson Dynamo look like a doll. Inside, Boris Bullski pilots the mecha. Once, he was a Slavic patriot. Nowadays, alas, he's trending more towards global communism...
Onward, they hunt. Radioactive Man teleports here and there, but can't seem to detect their quarry's presence...
A while back, Dark Aegis was in orbit, around Elysian, in a space station. He was preparing for the Titanic Three's arrival...
Alas, this spaceship was hijacked by a foreign source. He struggled to regain control of the ship, but nearly got electrocuted, several times, while trying.
His spacecraft is set down on the surface of Titan, the moon of Saturn. Nearby, the ruins of an old Titan city still stand...
One debris-crunching step at a time, Dark Aegis wanders through the city's ruins. Past him, a loose Titan flag flies. He aims an Oracle weapon at it, and blasts it to blackened fibers.
Soon, he's in a duel with a pair of robots he's never met. The duel lasts quite some time, and destroys many more of the city's ruins...before Dark Aegis realizes that these people are here to trade with him, rather than hurt him.
Ultimo introduces both himself, and Gargantus. They make a deal with him: if he helps them, they'll lead him to Svartalfheim, where he can destroy all the svartálfar, thus saving Gargantus the relatively manual labor of doing it himself.
Hasty to avoid his executioners, Dark Aegis agrees. Together, they all power their thrusters, and leave Titan.
