In the Story[]
Becoming the Collector[]
Three billion years before the current iteration of the Contest, Taneleer Tivan and his brother En Dwi Gast discovered the Battlerealm, then known as the Nexus Realm. Years later, they explored the Nexus Realm along with Taneleer's daughter Carina. Carina ventured outside their spaceship as the trio were caught in an unexpected energy explosion, trapping En Dwi under a rock and shattering Carina into a billion fragments. Taneleer became obsessed with collecting Carina's fragments in the hope of resurrecting her, and abandoned En Dwi in the Battlerealm in his haste, causing a rift between the siblings.
The Contest of Champions[]
Dedicating his life to collecting Carina's fragments, Taneleer gained his obsession with collecting objects and became the Collector. He eventually involved himself with the Maestro, who promised the power to bring Carina back to life, in return for setting up the newest Contest to find a worthy challenger to fight himself. The Maestro and the Collector began by bringing in twelve Champions against their will: Scarlet Witch, Vision, Captain Marvel, Thor, Hyperion, King Groot, Guillotine, Sentry, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and Thing, who were all brainwashed with the ISO-Spell. However, Sentry proved to be too powerful for the others and killed all but three contestants in their first battle. Maestro ordered the Collector to dispose of Sentry, but he instead tasked Robert with locating his daughter’s missing fragments, due to his sharp senses and incredible speed; however Sentry then disappeared, not to be found for another thirty-five years, and the Collector eventually moved on from this scheme.
The Contest’s population grew over the years, as thousands of Champions were brought into the Contest and subjugated to the ISO-Spell. As Maestro demanded more Champions for the Contest, the Collector instead started using Skrulls posing as Champions to appease him, inadvertently causing a secret Skrull Invasion. Summoners were introduced to the Contest with the ability to take control and fight with Champions, most notably the Summoner, Kang the Conqueror, and Thanos. The Collector also came into possession of an ISO-Sphere, presumably thanks to Maestro, and he presented it as the ultimate prize for winning the Contest. Kang was soon defeated by the combined efforts of the Summoner and Thanos, allowing them to learn of the Maestro’s identity, before Thanos himself was defeated by the Summoner.
Rebellion and Civil War[]
After Thanos’ defeat Ant-Man passed a vague warning to the Collector and the Summoner of the Maestro’s sinister plot to create a powerful artifact using ISO-8, and they began organizing a secret rebellion against the Maestro. Maestro himself returned to the Contest and played along with the Collector's attempts to hide his betrayal, until he revealed that he knew the whole time and was observing from a distance. In a final bout against Maestro, the Collector had Guillotine free Thanos from his crystal. The Maestro revealed the artifact to be an Infinity Stone, and used it to incapacitate the Collector, before he was taken out by Thanos, who claimed the stone for himself.
As a Cosmic Civil War waged on between the factions of Captain America and Iron Man after Maestro's defeat, they were both taken down by the Civil Warrior. Seeing his chance, the Collector emerged and imprisoned them both in crystals.
Elder's War and Path to Redemption[]
As the Collector attempted to begin 'Phase 2' of his contest, he was surprised by the Grandmaster who was aligned with Loki, claiming the Battlerealm for himself and instigating the Elder's War. The Grandmaster would sway many Champions to his side with false promises of freedom, and as the Collector desperately allied himself with criminals and mind controlled anyone who defied him, the Summoner turned against him as well and defeated him in the Galactorum, ending the Collector's reign. The Grandmaster taunted him and took his ISO-Sphere, before encasing him in a crystal prison and assuming control of the Contest.
The Collector eventually freed himself from the prison, and allied with Moon Knight and the Summoner to reclaim Carina's heart from the recently returned Sentry. After their success, he reassembled the Cornerstone and was visited by his brother who presented him with its final piece, as a gift for his niece. The Collector then used the remained of his ISO-Power to restore Carina's body, but could not fully restore her life spark.
After Thanos' defeat in the Infinity War, the Collecter visited the Avengers, where Captain America assured him that they will find a way to leave the Contest together.
Great Revival[]
In an attempt to regain the power lost during the Infinity War, the Grandmaster allied himself with the Champion, a fellow Elder of the Universe, and defeated a multitude of Champions to absorb their ISO-8. As this directly threatens Carina's existence, The Collector was then forced to summon Ægon from retirement, who defeated the Champion and provided the energy required to resurrect Carina.
A benevolent Elder compared to her father and her uncle, Carina explored the Battlerealm under the watchful eye of her father, alongside her new guardians Ægon and Captain Marvel, and he observed as she and the Summoner first defeated a Sentinel sent by Grandmaster, and then the Power Stone-infused Champion, eventually earning the trust of more and more Champions. He also accompanied Carina as she attended the Trial of Reed Richards, and eventually assisted as Carina and the Summoner ended Grandmaster's reign. However to his surprise, he was imprisoned alongside his brother as Carina decided to keep the brothers out of the Battlerealm's affairs.
The Union[]
Collector was eventually freed by his daughter and was sent to appease Odin, who was hosting a tournament in celebration of his arrival to the Contest. He was sent to fetch the Summoner to participate in the tournament.
