## Fictional character biography

Proxima Midnight is a member of Thanos' Black Order and wife of fellow member Corvus Glaive. She is sent to Earth to retrieve an Infinity Gem from Namor, but battles the New Avengers. She was humiliated by Thanos' disapproval of her actions as well as the fact that Namor did not actually possess the Gem. Proxima and the rest of the Order were directed by Namor to Wakanda to search for the Gem, but were distracted when Ebony Maw revealed the location of Thane, Thanos' son. However, Thane rebels against Thanos and traps him and Proxima in amber.
Namor frees Proxima, as well as Thanos, and recruits them into his Cabal. However, Namor soon finds himself hating the Cabal's tactics and works with the Illuminati to defeat them. After escaping the destruction of the multiverse via a "life raft", the Cabal end up on Battleworld and attack its residents. However, God Emperor Doom disperses the group throughout Battleworld, with Apocalypse imprisoning Proxima and Corvus.
Following the restoration of the multiverse, Proxima works with Hela to retrieve Mjolnir. However, they fail and Hela kills Proxima in front of Thanos.
During the "No Surrender" arc, Proxima Midnight is resurrected by the Challenger and battles the Grandmaster's Lethal Legion.
