Century is an alien who first appeared leading to earth
the terrorizing alien race known as the Scatter. He was amnesiac when
the Scarlet Witch and Force Works stumbled upon him and he joined
their quest to stop the aliens' attempt at conquering the world. Century
up and joined Forceworks soon after, then disappeared into thankful
obscurity.
In my opinion, this figure is symptomatic of what goes
wrong in these types of lines. Century is a bad character all the way
around, and one that for all intents and purposes doesn't exist in the
Marvel Universe anymore. Did kids really want this weird old guy as
a figure? And to make it worse, there are many other characters who
had not had good figures at the time this came out, such as Thor, Wonder
Man, Mockingbird, Scarlet Witch, Vision (especially his white outfit),
Hellcat, Ant-Man...the list goes on and on. A more powerful supporting
cast may have staved off the line's early demise, which unfortunately
was decided by the sales of the third series.
