#REDIRECT [[List of Marvel Comics characters: P]]
In [[Marvel Comics]], '''Priapus''' (named after the Greek god [[Priapus]]) was a super-villain leader of a cult based on sensual pleasures. He was searching for the [[Carnal Serpent]], allegedly an artifact of extreme erotic power responsible for things such as [[Adam and Eve]]'s betrayal of [[God]]'s trust, to the obscenity that forced God to destroy [[Sodom and Gomorrah]], as well as the ecstasy that put an end to the [[Dark Ages (historiography)|Dark Ages]] in Europe. He hired [[Terror (Marvel Comics)|Terror]], [[Luke Cage]], and [[Silver Sable]] to aid him, having them seek out the three pieces of an artifact called [[Vatsayana]]'s Tryst. He eventually found the serpent and slew it, becoming powerful. He enslaved the three mercenaries to his will, intent on starting a religion based on pleasures of the flesh, but Terror managed to free himself, Cage, and Sable. He fought the heroes, who then ripped the Tryst from where it was embedded in his chest, causing the Carnal Serpent to come alive again and devour him. The Serpent bore the heroes no ill will, and told them so before vanishing with the Tryst. (Terror Inc. #10)
