Taurus is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Cornelius Van Lunt was a multimillionaire businessman. He was also the founder and financer of the original Zodiac cartel, chose its eleven other leaders, and succeeded Marcus Lassiter, the original Aries as the Zodiac's overall leader.
In combat, Taurus charges at opponents as a bull would. His costume's horns are constructed of an unknown hard material, making them formidable weapons. He also controls the Zodiac's "Star-Blazer" energy weapons.
Taurus is currently presumed to have been killed in a plane crash caused by Moon Knight.
[edit] Other media
Taurus appears in The Avengers: United They Stand voiced by Gerry Mendicino. Like the other Zodiac members in this show, Taurus is an alien based on the constellation he is named after.
