Origin
Mysterious and ambiguous, not much is known of Raptra's past, other than that she is a pirate and is associated with the powerful and formidable
Reptyl. Though loosely associated with Reptyl through sharing a history with him, with both being space pirates, Raptra is hesitant to serve
Thanos as willingly as Reptyl, and at first opportunity to escape Thanos, she does. She seeks out the supposed Celestial Messiah
Sequoia (also known as Quoi), under the belief that he may be useful in her dealings with
Thanos. Thanos instead wants no deal, and so sends his two empowered henchman, Reptyl and
Primo to end her and retrieve Sequoia. Although she essentially kidnapped him, Raptra grows fond of Quoi, and the two develop a romantic bond. It is strained temporarily when Sequoia learns of Raptra's attempted dealings with Thanos, but after a sincere plea, Raptra earns back his trust. When Primo and Reptyl attack the pair they fight back viciously and manage to knock Primo down and Raptra manages to pin Reptyl back with gun fire, but Thanos appears and both are neutralized and imprisoned alongside
Vision and
Mantis. The Avengers come to their rescue and release them. Together with the
Avengers, Raptra fights against Thanos and his godlings Primo and Reptyl. All unite to fight against the Rot. With the Rot defeated, Raptra decides to aid Sequoia and his mission to explore and heal the Universe.
