Titanium Man

: "You think you're funny, but I'm not laughing.""You never laugh.""I laugh, on the inside. And I'm not doing it now."
: ―Korath and Att-Lass[src]
Att-Lass is a Kree member of the Starforce, and a stealth and raid specialist. He went with his team on Torfa to rescue Soh-Larr, only to be ambushed by Talos and some of his Skrull subordinates. He later traveled to the planet Earth, where he faced Captain Marvel who had turned against the Kree.
== Biography ==
=== Kree-Nova War ===
==== Infiltration into the Sy'gyl Research Base ====
While working in the Starforce, Att-Lass took the time to notice team dynamics. Since he cared about his teammates, he spent time thinking about the way they interacted. Att-Lass was involved in a mission with a creature that bit Bron-Char.
Sometime later, he joined Minn-Erva at a shooting range, commenting on her "maximum fatality" score. Minn-Erva compared his joking attitude to that of Vers with disgust, although Att-Lass said that he had faith in her. Minn-Erva claimed that faith was not enough before firing again, which Att-Lass complimented, although Minn-Erva threatened him to be quiet. An hour later, Att-Lass checked his weapons with Minn-Erva and asked why she was hard on Vers, suggesting that it was because she was Yon-Rogg's favorite. Minn-Erva insisted that Yon-Rogg did not have favorites, but Att-Lass noted that he treated Vers the way he used to treat Minn-Erva before Vers arrived. Minn-Erva said that she would lay down her own life for anyone else in Starforce, and that she wanted to know that Vers would do the same, which Att-Lass assured her she would. Minn-Erva said that she had better as she left Att-Lass alone.
Att-Lass and Minn-Erva then arrived at Starforce's briefing, where Yon-Rogg explained that the war which the Kree were fighting against Xandar was taking resources away from their war against the Skrulls, and that they would therefore be ending it. This upset Att-Lass and Minn-Erva, who listened as Yon-Rogg explained that to maintain the upper hand during the peace, Starforce was tasked with infiltrating the Xandarian-controlled planet Sy'gyl to receive plans for a weapon from a Xandarian defector. Yon-Rogg ordered the group to get ready, so they did. Att-Lass watched Minn-Erva tell Vers that she was waiting for her to slip up, and saw Vers respond by throwing her to the ground and saying that she would not. He told Minn-Erva that she was a member of Starforce like the rest of them, and Minn-Erva responded that Vers would need to remember that when making difficult decisions. Att-Lass approached Vers and tried to explain that Minn-Erva simply was that way, but Vers insisted that she already knew. She noted that Att-Lass seemed to have thought a lot about it, so he explained that he cared about his teammates. In the hangar, Vers asked about Sun-Val, so Minn-Erva explained that she was a pilot who knew the territory. Vers simply asked if she was Xandarian, prompting Att-Lass to ask if she wanted to know whether Sun-Val was Xandarian or simply knew Xandarian territory. Vers said she was asking both, and Korath explained that she was Kree.
During the flight to Sy'gyl, the team was attacked by Kree fighters mistaking them as Xandarian. Att-Lass asked what they should do, prompting Vers to suggest that they fire back. The entire group looked at Vers, but Yon-Rogg agreed it would avoid suspicion and a battle ensued, in which the ship nearly lost oxygen, but Vers activated the shield to prevent the air from leaving. When they entered Sy'gyl's orbit, Yon-Rogg reviewed the mission and told the team not to encounter Xandarian resistance. Although Att-Lass agreed with Minn-Erva that it was an unreasonable request, Yon-Rogg repeated the order, so Att-Lass and the rest of Starforce accepted it. As their ship entered cruising speed, Att-Lass and Minn-Erva went to select their weapons. Bron-Char then approached them and bragged about only needing his fists, causing Minn-Erva to roll her eyes at Att-Lass. Vers joined the team after a conversation with Yon-Rogg, saying that they were reviewing the mission and that he wanted to speak to Minn-Erva next. Minn-Erva did not like that Yon-Rogg was briefing the team individually, although Att-Lass and Bron-Char assured Minn-Erva that he likely had his reasons.
As the ship landed, Yon-Rogg opened the hatch and told Starforce that Minn-Erva would be the only one with a gun. They started traversing the planet when Vers joked to herself and Minn-Erva asked what she said. Yon-Rogg told them to be quiet and communicate with hand signals. When Bron-Char saw something that gave the team pause, Yon-Rogg sent Att-Lass to investigate, and he came back reporting that it was a Xandarian ship. Att-Lass continued to scout ahead as the rest of Starforce trailed behind him. Yon-Rogg showed Vers the layout of the building she would be intercepting, and Vers expressed disbelief at how easy it appeared, prompting Att-Lass to say that missions occasionally were that easy. However, Yon-Rogg interjected and told the group to assume it would be difficult. Vers went to the bunker and Minn-Erva spotted multiple Nova Corps men, so Yon-Rogg ordered Bron-Char to go with him while Att-Lass and Korath stayed behind in case others arrived. Minn-Erva told Att-Lass and Korath that Bron-Char and Yon-Rogg were out of sight, and Att-Lass checked but did not see them. A Stealth Bomb was then dropped on the bunker, which Att-Lass and Korath managed to escape before joining Minn-Erva. Att-Lass suggested they retrieve Vers from the bunker, but Korath explained that they had orders to report to the freighter. On their way back to the freighter, they found that Sun-Val had been killed.
While Att-Lass waited at the ship with Minn-Erva and Korath, Minn-Erva attempted to contact her missing teammates, but the comm-link was dead. Minn-Erva suggested that Vers was compromised, surprising Att-Lass. Korath ordered Minn-Erva and Att-Lass to prepare the ship, prompting Att-Lass to ask if he was suggesting they leave without the others. Korath explained that he did not know whether Vers would arrive, but that Bron-Char and Yon-Rogg definitely would and that they needed to follow their orders. Att-Lass was present when Vers, Yon-Rogg, and Bron-Char returned with Sun-Val, who Minn-Erva realized was a Skrull and killed. The team then left the planet and returned to Hala.
=== Kree-Skrull War ===
==== Ambush in Torfa ====
: "Att-Lass, you getting this?""Copy. I see them."
: ―Minn-Erva and Att-Lass[src]
Att-Lass and other members of the Starforce were dispatched to Torfa to rescue Kree operative Soh-Larr, who was captured by the Skrulls. Att-Lass met with the Supreme Intelligence beforehand and their encounter caused Att-Lass to tear up. While being debriefed about their rescue mission by Yon-Rogg, Korath informed the Starforce about a disturbing encounter with a Skrull who impersonated him.
The six Starforce operatives then arrived on Torfa, first traveling underwater. As they reached the surface, Att-Lass and Minn-Erva took their positions as snipers, attempting to eliminate any Skrulls. However, the mission turned out to be an ambush and Vers was captured by the Skrull leader, Talos, disguised as Soh-Larr. Ronan the Accuser, outraged, berated the Starforce for their thwarted mission on Torfa.
==== Contacted by Vers ====
: "How far to C-53?""Closest jump point is 22 hours."
: ―Yon-Rogg and Att-Lass[src]
Eventually, Vers managed to escape captivity from the Skrulls, and crash-landed on Earth in a space pod. Vers modified a payphone and contacted the Starforce, explaining her suspicion that the Skrulls were searching for Doctor Wendy Lawson and that she had to get to them before they invaded galaxies. Yon-Rogg rejected, noting that she had been caught once already, and then asked Att-Lass how far they were to Planet C-53. Att-Lass informed him that they had 22 hours to the closest jump point, and told Vers to hold her position until they arrive, before the communication abruptly ended.
==== Battle at Mar-Vell's Laboratory ====
: "Don't make me do this."
: ―Att-Lass to Captain Marvel[src]
Along with the rest of the Starforce and a group of Kree soldiers, Att-Lass invaded Mar-Vell's laboratory and captured Carol Danvers and her allies, taking the Tesseract from Maria Rambeau. Once Danvers was taken away, Att-Lass used his Kree Threat Detector to assess the danger posed by the rest of the captives, identifying Goose as a Flerken and covering her mouth, while deeming Nick Fury an irrelevant threat.
Att-Lass later joined Yon-Rogg as Danvers had broken out of her bonds. He and the rest of the Starforce engaged in a fight against Danvers, and Att-Lass was able to tackle her down. Att-Las asked her not to continue the fight, but Danvers remained unfazed by the warning and Att-Lass was quickly defeated by her overwhelmingly powerful abilities.
== Personality ==
Att-lass is a loyal Kree warrior, usually behaving with military discipline. Despite this, he developed strong bonds with his teammates, with Vers describing their relationship in her mission log as being akin to that of a brother and sister. Among his friends in Starforce, Att-lass shows a sense of humor, even in the middle of serious discussions, although he could become aggressive if he was made angry. However, despite his loyalty to the Kree, he showed sympathy towards Captain Marvel in the middle of combat, even though she had turned against the Kree.

The uniform also contains a device capable of analyzing and identifying any object placed within it on the uniform's sleeve. The uniform's color scheme can also be customized to suit the user's preferences via a device located on the uniform's sleeve, though Att-Lass himself never had any reason to do this. It also includes a collapsible helmet that can fit around the wearer's head. The helmet can generate its own atmosphere and allows the wearer to breathe in the vacuum of space, as well as underwater, where it will give off a blue glow to provide light.
