I thought this important Legionverse race deserved their own thread, given that we've apparently never discussed them before!

Things Thanar is known for:

1) It is one of the Gandian worlds meant to serve as a buffer between Earth and the Dominion (per v4 Annual #2)!

2) They apparently invented a super-muscle flexing exercise mastered by Karate Kid (per SLSH #231)!

3) They once used their Super Moby Dick of Space attracting abilities to lure the Super Moby Dick of Space to their planet (per Adventure #332)!

4) They are not really people made of minerals; they are jst really, really into mineral water?

I knew Eryk Davis Ester was behind this thread.

6) They are no match for the Starburst Bandits and their flaming steeds and/or mares!

Bah. I must be losing my touch. There was a time that posting this thread would have guaranteed someone scanning and posting pics of the mineral people of Thanar. Guess I'll have to dig out my own archives to remind myself what they look like.

Jeepers! No wonder I forgot what they looked like.

I wonder if the mineral people of Thanar can do anything more interesting than simply having mineral-flesh. Like maybe they can change their flesh to different minerals?

They probably export nutritional supplements.

But their architects appear to have mastered two-dimensional building design.

Maybe Super-Moby only wants to drop by for a visit. Why are they so sure he wants to devour them? Are they calling him FAT?

It might be a white dwarf, or it might be the Gigantic Blue-Cored Puffball Monster, a known predator of Super Moby Dicks.

And Lash has a point. Maybe Super Moby Dick just wants to nibble on one of Thanar's mountains and the Mineral People are getting hysterical for nothing.

Jeepers! I hope for the sake of the mineral people of Thanar that's not the same white dwarf Mon-El will later bring to Legion HQ!

^ Look at all those potential threads!

I wonder if the Mineral-fleshed people have some connection with the Bizarros - it's the lines on their faces that suggest some evolutionary branch.
