Tai is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Tai was like a mentor for the New Warriors in the first 25 issues of their first series. Tai is an elderly Cambodian mystic who was indirectly responsible for the formation of the New Warriors. She was born into a cult called the Dragon's Breath. Her people derive mystical energy from a well inside their temple that was a nexus into various alternate dimensions. The temple is constructed around the nexus point where vast amounts of mystic energy are constantly released. Throughout the centuries, Tai's people absorb the energy from the well. In a plan called 'the Pact', they devise a detailed program of interbreeding, the goal of which is to enable each successive generation to tap more energy from the well than its previous generation; eventually, one generation would use that power to rule the world. Tai's generation is actually able to harness the energies of the well, and is led to believe that they are the ones to rule the world. Tai refuses to share powers and slays everyone in the cult, except six maiden brides and a series of temple guards. During the Vietnam War, a unit of American soldiers calling themselves the 'Half-Fulls' encounter the temple but are captured by Tai. Tai tells them the story of her people and that the six soldiers had to marry and procreate with the six maiden brides. All but one of them agree to do so (Daryl Taylor was already married). Chord, thinking his family is dead, becomes a mercenary and travels the world. Eventually, he arrives in Cambodia and renews his association with his mother-in-law. Together they return to America. Tai worries her son-in-law fears his place in the Pact is moot now that his son is dead. Tai urges Chord to resume his friendship with army buddy Daryl Taylor (the one who rejected the Pact). Chord does so and becomes godfather to Daryl and his six-year-old son Dwayne. Tai then demands Chord kill Daryl and his wife Melody; Chord does so, unwillingly, in front of Dwayne. Dwayne is then introduced to Tai and his memory is wiped. Chord and Tai raise Dwayne and train him to be a crime fighter. They also manage Daryl's charitable organization, the Taylor Foundation, often using it to finance questionable activities around the world. Dwayne becomes Night Thrasher and is briefly part of a team with Tai's grandchildren Midnight's Fire and Silhouette. At the time, the three are unaware of the relevant biological relationship. Later, Night Thrasher finds the New Warriors. Tai influences the group from behind the scenes. In New Warriors #8, she bets the safety and security of the Warriors on a conflict with Emma Frost. Frost commands her own team of super-powered teens to bring back one of the Warriors, who used to be her student; however, Frost's team is defeated. Tai hopes to sacrifice the New Warriors to the well instead of the super-powered members of the Folding Circle (the children born from the mating of the soldiers and the brides). Tai and Chord's illegal business dealings are exposed, and Chord attempts suicide rather than admit the truth. While in the hospital, his wife Miyami visits him. Tai discovers this and is enraged that her daughter had faked her death and the deaths of her grandchildren. Tai murders her daughter in a fit of anger. Tai also uses her power to heal Chord of his brutal injuries, though she is unable to completely restore him. Tai later returns to Cambodia. She is soon followed by the Folding Circle, now led by the Left Hand, a rogue-powered villain influenced by the energies of the well. The New Warriors also follow in an Avengers' Quinjet. Tai attempts to sacrifice both groups to the well. They work together to try and save each other, but it all comes down to Dwayne, who uses an Uzi submachine gun to injure and seemingly kill Tai. Both she and the Left Hand are sucked down into the well. In a storyline in the Night Thrasher comic book series, Silhouette is sent back in time to Tai's childhood, where she encounters Tai and her peers as children in the cult. The five-year-old Tai tells Silhouette she can send her home if Silhouette will murder one of her rivals. Silhouette refuses and murders her grandmother. ==Hiro Takachiho==

Talon is a character appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a feline Inhuman and sorcerer apprentice to Krugarr, and a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Talon debuted in Guardians of the Galaxy #18 (November 1991). According to creator Jim Valentino, he wanted to use Wolverine in a storyline where the Guardians had briefly returned to Earth, but Bob Harras, the X-Men editor of the time, did not want it established that Wolverine could live that long. Thus, Valentino created Talon, influenced by Steve Englehart's take on Beast during his time with the Avengers. Valentino later stated that Talon "wasn't gay, as some people thought. I thought it would lighten things up to have a happy-go-lucky screw-up on the team since, when looked at properly, the Guardians were not a superhero team, but rather a light army." Talon has some superhuman abilities thanks to his genetically superior Inhuman physiology; he has also possibly been exposed to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist. He has cat-like abilities, including a prehensile tail and powerful claws that can be detached and hurled as weapons, then regrow instantly. ==Talos the Untamed==

Tarn the Uncaring is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, created by writer Zeb Wells and artist Carmen Carnero and first appearing in Hellions #6 (January 2021). He is an Omega-level mutant-Daemon hybrid from the dimension of Amenth with the power to manipulate genes and read minds. Born of Annihilation's forced breeding of captured Arakkii mutants and Amenthi Daemons, the sadistic Tarn became a "genomic mage," using his powers to physically reshape other mutants and grant them new abilities, inspiring the fearful loyalty and worship of those that survived and forming the Locus Vile. Following Arakko's subjugation by the Annihilation-possessed Genesis, Tarn, aided by his lover Isca the Unbeaten and his Vile School omnipaths, monitored the Arakkii populace, detecting rebellious thoughts and imprisoning and torturing those who refused to submit to Annihilation. He also claimed a seat on the Great Ring of Arakko and defended it from numerous challengers. During the X of Swords tournament, Tarn and his Locus Vile encountered the Hellions on their mission to Arakko to sabotage the Arakkii swordbearers. Discovering that their leader Mister Sinister had actually come to collect Arakkii mutant genes and subsequently enraged when Sinister stole samples from himself and his Locus Vile, Tarn and his allies attacked, killing Wild Child, Nanny and Orphan-Maker, and Sinister (secretly a clone of the real Sinister). The remaining Hellions escaped with the stolen genetic samples. He attempted retribution on Sinister for the theft of his genes (despite giving his word to the Great Ring that he would leave the Krakoan mutants alone), but was thwarted. Unwilling to abandon his vengeance, Tarn was challenged to a duel by Storm, Regent of Arakko. Though he mutated and depowered her, Storm managed to get close enough to pierce Tarn's chest with a dagger. Tarn conceded the duel, restoring Storm and dropping the issue of revenge against Sinister. Though they negated each other's powers, Tarn proved stronger and killed Vulcan. Immediately, Magneto challenged Tarn, while Sunspot secretly tricked Isca into wagering against him. With Isca's powers all but guaranteeing Tarn's defeat, Magneto managed to force his helmet onto the mage, blocking his gene-altering abilities, and killed him, claiming Tarn's seat on the Great Ring. Tarn's soul remained in the Waiting Room, opting to wait for resurrection rather than proceeding to true death in the Well Beyond Worlds. When Storm arrived on a quest to resurrect Magneto, Tarn, enraged that his killer would be returned to life, attacked, using his powers on himself to transform into a massive monster. Storm defeated him, killing him a second time. ==Tarot==

Tarot (Marie-Ange Colbert) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics who first appeared in The New Mutants #16 (June 1984), created by Chris Claremont and Sal Buscema. Tarot is a member of the original Hellions. Tarot is able to generate animated constructs composed of tangible psionic energy based on the two-dimensional figures on the tarot cards she carries. She can create multiple human-sized figures and even massive flying constructs without any apparent strain. Tarot's psionic constructs are superhumanly strong and durable, resistant to physical damage, temperature extremes, and certain forms of energy. She later developed the ability to apply certain characteristics on the images in her cards upon herself, such as Death's shroud and scythe, thereby increasing her effectiveness in battle. These constructs are completely under Tarot's mental control and will dissipate on her command or if she is rendered unconscious. It is unknown if she is completely reliant on tarot cards to fuel her generative power, or if she can create constructs from other imagery. Tarot also apparently possesses some degree of precognitive ability, being able to accurately predict events in the near or distant future through reading of her cards. ==Tarzan==

The character is named after Genghis Khan, his ancestor. As an infant, Temugin was delivered to a monastery in the Himalayas by his father, the Mandarin. Confident the monks would educate the boy, the Mandarin cut off almost all communication with his son, which left Temugin with abandonment issues. Temugin appears in the miniseries Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin, where the Mandarin uses his mind control ring to force Temugin to kill Tony Stark. He later shoots Stark in the chest, and deduces the man's secret when the suit's chest plate stops the bullet. Temugin escapes and returns to the monastery, and a disappointed Mandarin wipes his mind of the incident. After the Mandarin's death in a battle against Iron Man, Temugin receives his father's 10 rings of power and discovers that, for honor's sake, he must kill Iron Man so his father's spirit can find peace.
