Monarch Prime is the ruler of Mars.
History
When a group of astronauts arrived on Mars Monarch Prime ordered them captured. When Invincible, who had come to Mars to protect them, asked about their condition Monarch Prime told him about the Sequids and that the astronauts were to be executed to the danger they posed. Invincible defied him and rescued the astronauts without knowing that one of them had been replaced by a Martian, which caused the astronaut to become the new host of the Sequids who rebelled to their martian masters.[1]
When the Sequids rebelled and tried to invade Earth he tried to sabotage their ship but was captured and imprisoned.[2] After the Sequids were defeated by Invincible (Mark Grayson) and the Guardians of the Globe he tried to have Shapesmith executed for his crimes, forcing the heroes to steal a starship to escape.[3]Attributes
