With that out of the way, let's find out: Who is Titania?
Titania's true name is Mary MacPherran.
Mary was born in Denver, Colorado.
She was born premature, leading to her growing up frail.
She was bullied throughout her childhood because of her physique.
She was even given the nickname "Skeeter" which is slang for a mosquito.
She fantasized a lot about getting superpowers, but not to help people.
She wanted revenge on all those who had bullied and tormented her over the years.
One day, Spider-Woman showed up in their town.
Mary's friend, Marsha, made a comment about how her hair looked just like Spider-Woman's.
Mary took the opportunity and lied, saying that she is secretly Spider-Woman.
Marsha quickly spread the secret.
All of the sudden, things changed for Mary.
She was invited to a party. As the party was going on, the Beyonder just happened to rip their part of Denver from the Earth to be part of Battle-World.
As chaos ensued and the building they were in began to crumble, the real Spider-Woman showed up to save them, exposing Mary.
Once saved, the group turned on Mary and Marsha and chased them into the woods of Battle-World.
The two frightened young ladies wandered through the woods. They were found by Doctor Doom.
He offered them superpowers in return for serving in his supervillain army.
The two quickly accepted.
He then took them back to Doom-Base, where he used alien technology to impart powers upon the two.
Mary was given strength that rivaled even The Thing and She-Hulk along with superhuman endurance, stamina, as well as superhuman invulnerability.
She was given the code name of Titania.
Doom then ordered her to fight She-Hulk, which began the long standing rivalry between the two.
She-Hulk was captured and held at Doom Base.
The other heroes showed up to rescue her.
Titania ended up facing off with Spider-Man, who was far too fast and agile for Titania.
After being embarrassed by Spider-Man, her overconfidence and arrogance in her newfound strength quickly subsided.
While on Battle-World, she began a relationship with Absorbing Man.
When back on Earth, the couple joined Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil.
She was later sent to kill Hercules, who was in the hospital recovering from injuries.
Ant-Man and The Wasp helped Hercules and shrunk Titania down to the size of a bee.
And she was imprisoned in the vault.
She eventually escaped.
The rivalry She-Hulk and Titania had led to numerous battles.
When She-Hulk finally defeated Titania, she agreed to go back to prison.
She was again freed, by the Wizard this time, to be recruited for the Frightful 4.
After her time with the Frightful 4, it appeared Titania was gonna go straight.
She was back with Absorbing-Man, and the two were straight.
With him trying to live a normal life, she also tried really hard.
The two ended up getting married.
When Norman Osborne offered a reward for Spider-Man, they took on the aliases of Thunder Girl and Lightning Bolt trying to hunt down Spider-Man for the reward.
The two then began committing robberies.
Titania and She-Hulk continued to face off repeatedly.
During the events of "Fear Itself" Titania and Absorbing Man were in Brazil when one of the Hammers of the Worthy fell from the sky.
She was able to lift it and became Skirn, Breaker of Men.
After the defeat of the Serpent, she was de-powered and imprisoned on the Raft.
