Marquis Janus (Ōta)

Marquis Janus is a villain in the Great Mazinger manga by Gosaku Ōta.

Appearance
Marquis Janus is identical to her original counterpart having the same unusual styled hair with a horn-like design and pair of faces from a beautiful woman to an ugly hag.

Personality
Janus is a loyal member of the Mycenae Empire, dedicated to destroying its enemies even to the degree of breaking their spirits before destroying them completely.

Abilities
Janus commands a group of Warrior Beasts as well as pilot her own robot called Janus Koshaku. She also wields mystical abilities that allow her to turn invisible, fly, and teleport. Her physical strength is also high enough to tear a person vertically in half.

History
Marquis Janus was called in to replace Archduke Gorgon after he fell in battle. Commanding several Warrior Beasts to fight the Great Mazinger, all of her attempts ended in failure. By the time Great Marshall of Hell took command and had the Great and its allies branded as outlaws, Janus took this as her chance to strike a killing blow to the Great Mazinger. Pursuing the staff of the Science Fortress Laboratory, she managed to kill Misato right in front of Tetsuya Tsurugi when she became suspicious. With their friend down, Janus challenged Tetsuya and co. to a battle at her volcanic hideout. Using her minions and Warrior Beasts, Janus fought the Great Mazinger and its allies to a standstill until the volcano started to erupt. While the Great and co. managed to escape the carnage, Janus and her troops were caught in the collapse.
