[edit] Fictional character biography
Ganymede is the last surviving member of a race of warrior women known as Spinsters who existed for the sole purpose of destroying the cosmic being known as Tyrant. She was woken up from cryogenic sleep as Tyrant's servants were kidnapping powerful cosmic entities to drain the power from for his own ends. Mistaking Silver Surfer for a minion of Tyrant, Ganymede attacked him and the two fought until Tyrant's minions ambushed and kidnapped them both.
Ganymede, along with Tyrant's other hostages, Silver Surfer, Terrax, Morg, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator and Jack of Hearts escaped their imprisonment and attacked Tyrant together, only to fail miserably. Galactus arrived and ended the battle. After that, those involved went their separate ways except for Ganymede, who decided to stay with Jack of Hearts to help nurse him back to health after his selfless sacrifice that freed his fellow captives. Ganymede and Jack of Hearts had a few adventures together, wherein they struck up a romantic relationship. Jack of Hearts would later become a member of The Avengers. Ganymede, however, has been absent from any comic tales for about 10 years.
