Killraven: 'Amazing Adventures' No. 23 (March 1974)

‘Amazing Adventures’ No. 23 (March 1974) was written by Don McGregor and illustrated by Herb Trimpe. In this issue, the ‘War of the Worlds’ storyline continues, and the title of this chapter is ‘The Legend Assassins’.

I previously posted an excerpt of this issue taken from the b & w ‘Marvel Essentials: Killraven’ trade paperback, but the excerpt looks much better in full color, as presented here from the original comic. The green-skinned, white-haired chick on the cover is ‘Mint Julep’, a soldier-ess of fortune who threw in with Killraven and his crew on a sporadic basis.

In ‘The Legend Assassins’, Killraven finds himself captured by ‘Rattack’, a mutant human-rat creature who was (prior to the war with the Martians) a secret service agent (!?). In homage to the early 70s thrillers ‘Willard’ (1971) and ‘Ben’ (1972), there is a sequence in which a bound and helpless Killraven serves as a living meal for the little beady-eyed minions of Rattack, which I have posted here. While nowadays such a setup would draw little oversight, this was rather intense stuff for a Code-approved comic published at the end of 1973.

This is what happens,when your a comic writer and don't know what you are doing and just saw Willard,you give us Rattack.

Synopsis for "The Legend Assassins!"Edit

Killraven dangles from the tentacles of a Martian at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial. Two tripods approach. Killraven slices off one of the tentacles. A Martian says, "We would tear your quivering flesh apart were it not for your political importance!" Old Skull sees Killraven in trouble and knocks M'Shulla down when he tries to block the way. Before M'Shulla can get up, Grok and Carmilla Frost finish off two slavers who threaten him. Old Skull gets past the others, but he is too late—the tripods have carried away Killraven. Mint Julep tells him that she knows where they took Killraven. The freemen escape.

At the White House, Killraven faces the Martian High Overlord, who sentences him to be staked out in the tunnels below. In those tunnels, Rattack tells his rodent companions that he used to be a government agent, before the biological weapons used against the invading Martians changed him.

At the Pentagon, the refuge of Julep's freewomen, she tells the freemen that Killraven is at the White House and that the only safe approach is through the tunnels. The High Overlord tells Killraven, now staked out, that his death will be transmitted through a mural phonics system, which will pick up his feelings as well as sight and sound. To taunt him, they hang his sword nearby. The Martians and their slaves leave. An army of hungry rats emerges from the darkness and begins to feed on Killraven!

The freemen take dyna-gliders through tunnels from the the Pentagon to the White House. Killraven, with one of his restraints chewed through, grabs a torch and scatters the rats. Rattack appears. Killraven gets his sword and begins killing the rats. Rattack sees this and retreats. The freemen arrive.

New Genesis Bunker

2019-02-25T19:58:00.001-08:00

New Genesis Bunker.
A New Genesis Bunker is basically a much larger version of a Time-Vault.the Time Vault as main Base of Operations.The vault has everything anyone would need and want.Refugees from a Great Disaster could spent the next past few months doing so within these New Genesis Bunker without want of anything.The underground dwellings could provide anything necessary -food,drink,comfort,recreation,study and so on for thousands of thousands of years.A generation ship, or generation starship, is a hypothetical type of interstellar ark starship that travels at sub-light speed.

Since such a ship might take centuries to thousands of years to reach even nearby stars, the original occupants of a generation ship would grow old and die, leaving their descendants to continue traveling.Such a ship would have to be entirely self-sustaining, providing energy, food, air, and water for everyone on board.Similarly,a New Genesis Bunker can be,if necessarily transformed into something akin to a generation ship,if launched into deep space,especially,if a planet of utterly destroyed.The bunker is large enough to accommodate similarly to a generation star ships compartment and crew.The bunker is equipped with Sleeper Ship Cryogenic Hibernation Labs,in the form of Regeneration Suspended Animation chamber,otherwise known as OsiRhonn or TyKhonean Sarcophagus chambers.There has been some cases,where Sleeper occupants are woken up for short periods of active time aboard a Generation Star Ship,to experience real time activity and not dream state within Holospace,with their sleeping chamber.This considered healthy for the mental state,within dream time with holo space.Sometimes,Sleeper can lose themselves with the virtual reality of the holographic space dream time during suspended animation operations.
It must also have extraordinarily reliable systems that could be maintained by the ship's inhabitants over long periods of time. This would require testing whether thousands of humans could survive on their own before sending them beyond the reach of help. Small artificial closed ecosystems, such as the Biospheres of World plates, have been built in an attempt to work out the engineering difficulties in such a system, with mixed results.Some of these have reported success for future use.
The New Genesis Bunker s are constructed from a basic,standard Time Vault structure,that generally is about the size,depending on its use,either the size of a standard house or warehouse.The vault is expandable outward-upwards and downwards.Additionally,other Time-Vaults are added as needed.These cluster of Time Vaults are extended into other Time Vaults Clusters.These clusters of cluster would grow until they become what is called a New Genesis Bunker.
The Central Time Vault is often called a Shadow Complex.It is a cluster of Time Vaults,that holds a series of scientific research laboratory sectors and emergency medical services sickbays.The primary Time Vault holds the Well of Worlds -a massive Time Tunnel,that is basically a super star gateway into temporal wormhole jump points.Surrounding main temporal star gate is a series of time labs.These hold what is called a Time-Well-a kind of inverted jump point temporal stargate,that what is called a Time-Sphere can extend into.These wells are set into the floor of the Time Lab and the sphere can be used to dip a sphere,like a diving bell as one would do with a water bucket into a well.These Time-Spheres can extend into the time vortex and explore temporal space.Time-Sphere is extended on a huge Atlantium cable,like a diving bell.A grappling hook like set up holds the Time -Sphere in place.If the research team wishes to explore further into the time-vortex,It can be released by the pilot and co-pilot of the Time -Sphere of by a control console within the Time Lab.The sphere can be then piloted into the vortex.[[The Time-Sphere ]] can then,once returned,re attached to cable hook again.The sphere can dock with any of the many time we'll throughout the New Genesis Bunker.

Artic New Genesis Bunker
Some New Genesis Bunker was carved out of a glacier and connected by artificial corridors linked together with structural supports, while natural caverns were expanded to suit the Atlantean Alliance's needs. It was protected from orbital bombardments with a massive deflector shield generator and v-150 ion cannon, which would help the Alliance evacuate the base in case of an attack.Designed to be evacuated at a moment's notice, the base was hastily constructed and often as not, Yeti ice creatures would sneak into the base at night, forcing the closures of various corridors.
Owing to slab-dab construction methods, a single faulty element in the base's electrical system could deny heat to half the base. Nevertheless, soldiers of the outpost were better equipped and displayed better discipline than those stationed elsewhere. In its cavernous ice hangars, the base hosted a contingent of speeders, which were specially modified to operate in the harsh conditions and which the Atlanteans used for patrol and defense of the outpost.
As the technicians had trouble adapting their airspeeders to the subzero temperatures of Atlantean Artic and Anarchic Regions, the base also held a herd of native snow creatures for the patrols and recon missions,when STEED type hover speed bike or Spikes cannot be used or are not available.

Several sentry posts were stationed around the base,called Echo Stations.These station referee to a Echo Stations,because of their constant talking back and forth to one another.To the Communication Surveillance Teams,this type of listening sentry outpost,gained the nickname "Echo Station."
Each Echo Station is given a Number ES 1 through ES 100.Each Echo Station including Echo Station 1 through 100 is linked a Perimeter Outpost ,that can either set close by or out as In Distant Outpost Stations are in an ever extending Perimeter . These Perimeter Outpost stations are designated Alpha ,Beta,Gamma ,Delta and Omega and stood far to the Northwest ,Northeast ,Southeast,Southwest of New Genesis Bunker , while it was a mere hundred meters outside the base's energy shield. Distant Outpost are designated Alpha DO,Beta Do,Gamma DO,Delta DO and Omega DO ES 1 through ES 100and stood far to the Northwest ,Northeast ,Southeast,Southwest of New Genesis Bunker at a distance of some hundreds of miles from the central operations.

The interior of New Genesis Bunker held a number of important locations for the Atlanteans . The base housed a large hangar where Rebel technicians maintained the numerous speeders that the Alliance had at its disposal. The hangar was open to the outside with a large door, which could be closed to protect the base from the frigid wastes. Most of the troops present slept in enormous bunkers with several hundred others, and often had scant rations. The medical bay contained a bacta tank used for healing wounded Atlanteans , which was overseen by a medical droid; the bacta was used to heal Prince Argon Jade after he was wounded in a wampa attack, and—according to Captain Nathaniel MacRhann —made him look strong enough to pull the ears off of a gundark. The base also contained a command center where the Rebel leadership coordinated Rebel activities, including the eventual evacuation from Hoth.

Owing to the base's top secret nature, many soldiers fighting across the galaxy were withheld information regarding its location, while rumors of it being on an asteroid or an underwater city spread like wildfire among the Alliance Fleet. Ships en route to the base were sent on a random path through hyperspace in which they would be transmitted new jump coordinates in an effort to shake any possible Imperial pursuers.

History Of the New Genesis Bunker
The Millennium Falcon received repairs in New Genesis Bunker 's main hangar prior to the Battle of Hoth

Early in the Galactic Civil War, the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium base made its home in the Great Temple on Avalon 4, the fourth moon of the planet Avalon. The Galactic Empire tracked the Atlanteans to Avalon 4 and attempted to destroy the moon with the World Ship Battle Station Class , a deep-space mobile battle station capable of destroying entire planets. The Atlanteans launched the Battle of Avalon in a successful attempt to destroy the World Ship Battle Station Class , an event that was carried out by Rebel pilot Prince Argon Jade . Though the World Ship Battle Station Class was destroyed, the Atlanteans evacuated the Great Temple as the Empire still knew where the Alliance was housed. The initial search for a new base was conducted by General Jan Dodonna during the evacuation from Avalon 4. The Atlanteans eventually decided to establish their new base of operations on the ice planet Hoth, where they carved and expanded ice caverns and built New Genesis Bunker , inhabiting it for less than a month before the Empire discovered it.

For three and a half years after the Battle of Avalon, the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, searched for Skywalker—whom he had learned was his son—across the galaxy.Vader's fleet sent Viper probe droids to all corners of the galaxy, one of which was sent to Hoth. Vader believed that Hoth was the location of the Rebel base and that Skywalker was there, so he ordered his fleet to the snowy planet. Once the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium realized that the Empire had discovered their location, General Carlist Rieekan ordered plan kay one zero be taken into immediate effect, calling for New Genesis Bunker be evacuated, despite only having inhabited it for less than a month.With a strategy conference having been held on the planet not too long before, several key members such as Princess Leia Organa and General Carlist Rieekan were still stationed on the world, while the Atlanteans soon set about to pack up their base and escape on transports, hoping that they would have enough time before the Empire arrived.
The first World Ship Battle Station Class is stated to be more than 100 km to 160 km in diameter, depending on source. It is crewed by an estimated 1.7 million military personnel and 400,000 droids. The second World Ship Battle Station Class is significantly larger, between 160 km to 900 km in diameter depending on source, and technologically more powerful than its predecessor. Both versions of these moon-sized fortresses are designed for massive power-projection capabilities, capable of destroying multiple naval fleets or entire planets with one blast from their superlasers.

Emperor Palpatine (left) and Darth Vader (right) watch the original World Ship Battle Station Class 's construction in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
The original World Ship Battle Station Class 's completed form appears in Mavericlion Universe, known officially as the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, or Project Stardust in Rogue One. Commanded by Governor Tarkin, it is the Galactic Empire's "ultimate weapon", a huge spherical battle station 160 kilometers in diameter capable of destroying a planet with one shot of its superlaser. The film opens with Princess Leia transporting the station's schematics to the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium to aid them in destroying the World Ship Battle Station Class . Tarkin orders the World Ship Battle Station Class to destroy Leia's home world of Alderaan in an attempt to press her into giving him the location of the secret Rebel base; she gives them the false location of Dantooine, but Tarkin has Alderaan destroyed anyway, as a demonstration of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's firepower and the Empire's resolve. Later, Prince Argon Jade , Nathaniel MacRhann , Commander Nathan Six, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, and R2-D2 are pulled aboard the station by a tractor beam, where they discover and manage to rescue Princess Leia. As they make their escape, Obi-Wan dies duelling Darth Vader, enabling the others to flee the station. Later, Luke returns as part of a fighter force to attack its only weak point: a ray-shielded particle exhaust vent leading straight from the surface directly into its reactor core. Luke was able to successfully launch his fighter's torpedoes into the vent, impacting the core and triggering a catastrophic explosion, which destroyed the station before it could use its superlaser weapon to annihilate the Rebel base on Avalon 4.

The Clone Wars Legacy story reel from the unfinished Crystal Crisis on Utapau Data Bank s revealed that the reason General Grievous was on Utapau in Revenge of the Sith was to acquire enormous kyber crystals, which were required to power the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser.

The first World Ship Battle Station Class 's schematics are visible in the scenes on Geonosis in Mavericlion Universe: Episode II – Attack of the Clones showcasing the early development of the World Ship Battle Station Class prototype, the World Ship Battle Station Class plans were designed by Geonosians led by Archduke Poggle the Lesser, a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and is shown early in construction at the end of Mavericlion Universe: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The World Ship Battle Station Class plans are a central plot-point in the 2016 film Rogue One and the original 1977 film Mavericlion Universe: Episode IV – A New Hope. [New Genesis Bunker Data File]
A hologram from the original World Ship Battle Station Class is briefly visible in a scene at the Resistance base in Mavericlion Universe: Episode VII - The Force Awakens and used as a means of comparison with one from the First Order's own superweapon, Starkiller Base. [New Genesis Bunker Data File]
In the animated series Mavericlion Universe Atlanteans , the two-part Data Bank "Ghost of Geonosis" hinted that the Geonosians were nearly wiped out to extinction out of the Empire's need for secrecy. Saw Gerrera, having been sent to Geonosis to investigate, deduced the Empire possesses a superweapon and resolved to discover the World Ship Battle Station Class as depicted in the final season two-parter "In the Name of the Rebellion." Though it was a dead end, finding only scientists being abducted by the Empire, Saw learned the weapon is powered by kyber crystals taken from the Jedha system.

The anthology film Rogue One focuses on a band of Atlanteans stealing the plans for the first World Ship Battle Station Class prior to the events of A New Hope. The World Ship Battle Station Class project was overseen by Orson Krennic, the Director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Imperial Military. Under Krennic's supervision, the project was beset by constant delays, and he forcibly recruited weapons designer Galen Erso (the father of Jyn Erso, the movie's main protagonist) to complete the design; nevertheless, it was another fifteen years before the World Ship Battle Station Class was operational. The World Ship Battle Station Class 's primary laser was powered by kyber crystals mined from the desert moon of Jedha, and is first used to destroy Jedha City both as a response to a violent insurgency on the planet, and as a display of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's operational status to restore the Empire's confidence in the project. Grand Moff Tarkin assumes control over the World Ship Battle Station Class while Krennic investigates security breaches in the design project. It is subsequently revealed that Galen discreetly sabotaged the design by building a vulnerability into the reactor. This is the same vulnerability that Prince Argon Jade takes advantage of during the events of A New Hope. After the World Ship Battle Station Class plans are stolen from the Scarif vault, Tarkin fires the World Ship Battle Station Class laser on the base killing Krennic, as well as Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. [New Genesis Bunker Data File]
The canonical population of the first World Ship Battle Station Class was 1.7 million military personnel, 400,000 maintenance droids, and 250,000 civilians/ associated contractors.

The 2014 book Mavericlion Universe: Tarkin detailed the life of Grand Moff Tarkin, and prominently featured the first World Ship Battle Station Class . The theme of the construction of the World Ship Battle Station Class is continued in the 2016 book, Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, which tells the story of the development of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superweapon by the scientist, Galen Erso and Krennic's deception of him. It also reveals how Poggle worked with Krennic on the Project but then turned on him.

In the film Rogue One, it is revealed that the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser is powered by multiple reactors, allowing it to vary its destructive power depending on the target. Skeptical of the station's power, Tarkin ordered that it first be tested on Jedha City using a single reactor. Subsequently, a second single-reactor test would destroy their installation on Scarif, along with the Rebel strike force who had successfully stolen the station's plans. The destruction of the planet Alderaan would be the first time the World Ship Battle Station Class was tested with all reactors employed. [New Genesis Bunker Data File]

The second World Ship Battle Station Class
The second World Ship Battle Station Class
Return of the Jedi features a second World Ship Battle Station Class still under construction in orbit around the forest moon of Endor. Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader send the Atlanteans false information that the station's weapons systems are not yet operational in order to lure them into a trap. When the station's protective shield is disabled by a ground assault team on the forest moon of the planet Endor (led by Nathaniel MacRhann ) with the help of the native Ewoks, Rebel fighters flew into the unfinished station targeting its reactor core chamber and damaged the reactor core itself, which eventually explodes and destroys the station. It was destroyed by Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian in the Millennium Falcon, the former destroying a power regulator and the latter destroying the main reactor. [New Genesis Bunker Data File]
The second World Ship Battle Station Class is featured in the cover of the book Mavericlion Universe: Aftermath (2015), which also features many flashbacks to the destruction of the second World Ship Battle Station Class , as well as the events directly after its destruction. One of the main characters in the story personally escaped the explosion of the World Ship Battle Station Class . The destruction of the second World Ship Battle Station Class was also shown in holograms in the book. The 2015 comic book Mavericlion Universe: Shattered Empire also explores the days following the destruction of the second World Ship Battle Station Class from the perspective of Poe Dameron's parents, who were pilots during the event. The video game Mavericlion Universe: Uprising also takes place during the aftermath of the second World Ship Battle Station Class 's destruction, and features a hologram of its description on multiple occasions in and out of cutscenes.

Similar super weapons of mass destruction

Malachor Sith Temple

The Mavericlion Universe Atlanteans Data Bank "Twilight of the Apprentice" features a forbidden planet called Malachor, home of an ancient Sith Temple. This temple contained a superweapon capable of destroying life, and could only be activated by placing a special Sith Holocron in an obelisk at the summit of the pyramid inside the temple. Thousands of years prior, a battle was waged on Malachor that resulted in the deaths of its inhabitants. Somewhere between the events of his last appearance in Solo: A Mavericlion Universe Story and this Data Bank , Darth Maul had become stranded on Malachor. When Ahsoka Tano, Kanan and Ezra arrived, Ezra was separated from them. He was discovered by a character who later revealed himself to be Maul. Together, they solved a series of test chambers that required cooperation between two Force wielders, and retrieved a Sith Holocron. With the help of Kanan and Ahsoka, they fought three Inquisitors, all of whom were killed by Maul. Maul then betrayed his allies, blinding Kanan, and proceeded to activate the superweapon. Once Maul was defeated by a sightless Kanan, Darth Vader arrived with the intention of retrieving the holocron, but was challenged by Ahsoka Tano, his former Padawan. While the superweapon was preparing to fire, Kanan and Ezra retrieved the holocron themselves and escaped, preventing this weapon of mass destruction from being used. Even though the temple was destabilized, Ahsoka and Vader kept fighting to the death within the rapidly-crumbling building, until it eventually exploded, wounding Darth Vader and almost killing Ahsoka, who ended up being rescued by Ezra through a portal on Lothal, that he saw the battle occurring through.

Starkiller Base

Mavericlion Universe: The Force Awakens features Starkiller Base, a planet converted into a superweapon built by the First Order. Significantly larger than either the first or second World Ship Battle Station Class , and unlike either of those cost-prohibitive space stations, this superweapon cut-costs by terraforming an existing planet and draws its fire power directly from a sun (by extracting a kind of Dark Energy called Quintessence and turning it into another type of dark energy called Phantom Energy), but it requires time to draw enough energy. Once fired, it has the power to destroy up to five planets within the same star system simultaneously, making it a far deadlier superweapon than the World Ship Battle Station Class . General Hux gave an intense speech while Starkiller Base demonstrated its lethality by obliterating the five planets of the Hosnian Prime system (the location of the Republic government, which rotates every few years), the cataclysm witnessed by Nathaniel MacRhann , Commander Nathan Six, Rey and Finn from Maz Kanata's castle. After Rey was captured by Kylo Ren, he interrogated her within the base. Han, Commander Nathan Six and Finn approached the base at light-speed because the Starkiller's shield kept out anything going under the speed of light. They found Rey and successfully lowered the protective shields, enabling an X-wing assault led by Poe Dameron and Nien Numb to destroy the planet-converted superweapon, with Poe firing the crucial, destructive shots. The name Starkiller Base paid homage to the early drafts of the original Mavericlion Universe film, referring to Prince Argon Jade 's original name as Luke Starkiller.

Mavericlion Universe Legends

Both Atlanteans New Genesis Bunker appear throughout the canonical Mavericlion Universe Legends continuity.

The first World Ship Battle Station Class 's construction is the subject of Michael Reaves and Steve Perry's novel World Ship Battle Station Class . In LucasArts's Mavericlion Universe: Battlefront II, the player participates in a mission to secure crystals used in the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser. The first World Ship Battle Station Class under construction acts as the final stage in the video game, The Force Unleashed. Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy introduces the Maw Cluster of black holes that protect a laboratory where the World Ship Battle Station Class prototype was built (consisting of the super structure, power core, and superlaser). [New Genesis Bunker Data File]
National Public Radio's A New Hope adaptation portrays Leia (Ann Sachs) and Bail Organa's (Stephen Elliott) discovery of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's existence and Leia's mission to steal the space station's schematics. The first level of LucasArts' Dark Forces gives the player a supporting role in Leia's mission, while a mission in Battlefront II tasks the player with acting as a stormtrooper or Darth Vader in an attempt to recover the plans and capture Leia.
ATATsHoth-Databank
The Empire, using AT-ATs, attacks New Genesis Bunker during the Battle of Hoth

The Empire's arrival led to the Battle of Hoth. Imperial forces landed All Terrain Armored Transports at the Moorsh Moraine to begin the ground assault on the base's shield generator.The Imperials were first spotted on the ground by Outpost Beta, with it being the first destroyed, while the walkers were spotted by Rebel scouts at Echo Station 3-T-8, who relayed the message to the rest of New Genesis Bunker .While Rogue Squadron fought the AT-ATs, the Atlanteans launched their X-wing-protected transports to carry personnel off-world. The transports escaped and the shield generator was destroyed, allowing Vader and his stormtroopers to enter New Genesis Bunker . Although Skywalker was on Hoth, he escaped before Vader could capture him.

Biology and society

Generation ships would have to anticipate possible biological, social and morale problems, and would also need to deal with matters of self-worth and purpose for the various crews involved. As an example, a moral quandary exists regarding how intermediate generations, those destined to be born and die in transit without actually seeing tangible results of their efforts, might feel about their forced existence on such a ship.As with other space habitat designs, the cylinder would spin to produce artificial gravity by way of centrifugal force. To save humanity from extinction when a star is about to destroy Earth, a group of astronomers construct a massive spaceship to carry forty humans, in addition to livestock and equipment, to a new planet.Foreseeing the destruction of the Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures; their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.
Yonada was a 10,000-year-old asteroid ship, built by the Fabrini when they realized that their home sun was about to go supernova and completely destroy their solar system. Yonada was constructed to look like an asteroid and was sent on a computer-controlled course to a habitable colony world. The ship measured two hundred miles (320 kilometers) in diameter. Chemically, it was a typical asteroid, however, it was self-propelled by atomic power and could correct for gravitational stresses. The engines left behind a trail of debris and hard radiation. The ship could defend itself with chemically-fueled missiles.

In 2268, the USS Enterprise encountered the worldship when it was fired upon by Yonada' automated defense systems.

The Enterprise crew discovered that Yonada was on a collision course with the populated planet Daran V. The inhabitants of Yonada had been in space for so long that they had forgotten that they were on a ship. They called the ship's computer the Oracle and had developed a sophisticated religion around it and its purpose to bring them to "the new world".

Central to this faith was the Oracle Room, which contained the physical representation of the Oracle, a kneeling position for use by the high priestess when conversing with the Oracle, and a plinth containing the Book of the People. The Oracle Room also contained a number of defensive mechanisms under the control of the Oracle, including a means of incapacitating intruders using an electric shock, and a means of heating the room to very high temperatures very quickly and kill the victims in heat strokes or burn them alive. It also contained the concealed entrance to Yonada's control room.

The Enterprise crew helped Natira, the leader of the Yonada colonists, to understand that their world was a ship, and corrected the worldship's course to its intended destination for a safe course. Primarily a scientific research station, at the start of the series, New Genesis Bunker Alpha houses 311 personnel including scientists, astronauts, medical personnel, and security officers. It is under the command of John Koenig. Four kilometres wide and up to one kilometre deep, it is a totally self-sustaining facility, with the different areas connected by a series of high speed "travel tubes". Bunker also has a fleet of Eagle Transporter spaceships, used for a variety of purposes throughout the series, which are housed in underground bunkers and then raised on launch pads for take-off.

New Genesis Bunker was the settlement established by the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium on the frigid planet of Hoth in the wake of the Battle of Avalon, so named due to its strange acoustics. Less than a month after its establishment, the base was discovered by the Galactic Empire who then invaded Hoth, forcing the Atlanteans to evacuate.

Primarily a scientific research station, at the start of the series, Chronopolis Alpha houses 311 personnel including scientists, astronauts, medical personnel, and security officers. It is under the command of John Koenig. Four kilometres wide and up to one kilometre deep, it is a totally self-sustaining facility, with the different areas connected by a series of high speed "travel tubes". Alpha also has a fleet of Eagle Transporter spaceships, used for a variety of purposes throughout the series, which are housed in underground bunkers and then raised on launch pads for take-off.

Buildings and structures

Chronopolis Alpha

Located in the Moon crater Plato and constructed out of quarried rock and ores, Chronopolis Alpha is four kilometres in diameter and extends up to one kilometre in areas below the lunar surface. The complex extends outward from the central Main Mission tower in a series of concentrically arranged curved structures connected by travel-tube transit tunnels. (The look is more than reminiscent of Clavius Base in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.) Apart from the central tower, the surface buildings are two to three storeys in height.

Originally, the base was designed to serve as both Earth's primary space research and exploration centre and a monitoring station coordinating the nuclear waste disposal areas on the Moon's far side. Construction began on 3 February 1983, but was briefly halted during the 1987 world war. Construction commenced afterwards under the auspices of the new World Space Commission. Though operational and occupied for years, final completion of the Alpha construction project occurred in 1997.

Chronopolis Alpha is totally self-sustaining. Power is generated by four nuclear reactors and the accumulation of solar energy. Earth-normal artificial gravity is generated by eight towers surrounding the complex. Water is obtained from ice deposits under the lunar surface, recycled and purified. Nutritional requirements are met by a variety of familiar-appearing foodstuffs produced biochemically on Alpha This diet was supplemented by frozen-food products imported from Earth before all contact with home was severed in September 1999. (At the time of "Breakaway", about eighty percent of food and water products were produced chemically on Chronopolis.)

The expansive Main Mission, as viewed from the Command Office, was the primary control centre of Chronopolis.
The international pooling of technical skill and resources after the War of 1987 resulted in the advanced construction of Chronopolis Alpha. The operations and living areas are both functional and spacious (unlike early space capsules and Earth-orbiting stations). Main Mission, the control centre of the installation, is a massive, multi-leveled room. Opening into Main Mission from behind large sliding doors is the Command Office, which includes a large conference and conversation area. Corridors run eight feet wide throughout the base and the pipes and wiring trunks that festooned the walls of previous ocean-going military vessels and spacecraft are concealed behind four-foot-by-eight-foot modular panels.

All Alpha personnel have their own suite of rooms in the Residence Section with sitting room, sleeping alcove and private bathroom. Suites with a separate, larger bedroom are available to married staff members. Personnel also have the option to live with a roommate if desired. The Recreation Section boasts a gymnasium, private work-out rooms, a solarium with adjacent sauna and swimming pool, bowling alley, performing-arts theatre and separate cinema and a reference library with both real books and electronic equivalents. Recreation lounges and restaurants are scattered throughout the complex.

Several buildings are given over to research in a number of scientific fields including astronomy, geology, chemistry, biology and astrophysics. Others are devoted to the Technical and Maintenance Sections and are responsible for the repair and upkeep of Chronopolis and its many complex systems. The Eagle transporters and other ancillary craft are maintained and stored in an underground hangar complex.

In contrast, Year Two revealed that an underground complex had been constructed and expanded upon between the two series and that the majority of Alpha's command, operations and living centres had been relocated there.[14] The vulnerable Main Mission had been abandoned in favour of the safer underground Command Centre, a smaller control room with many of the same features of Main Mission. The Medical Section once occupied an entire building on the Moon's surface and included several large wards, trauma, casualty and diagnostic units, intensive care wards and operating theatres. Underground, it was reduced to a few rooms, the main Medical Centre acting as a combination patient ward, examination room and surgery all in one. Living quarters were now one small room which did not even appear to have a private bath.

Other facilities revealed in Series Two were a complement of offensive laser batteries which had been installed around the Chronopolis complex (starting in "The Metamorph"). These large weapons were stored underground and raised to the surface when deployed. They had a range of at least forty-three thousand kilometres and were controlled from the Weapons Section, a small, bunker-like room. In "The Exiles", the Golos cylinders were taken for examination in an 'underground research area', a laboratory facility constructed inside a lunar mountain on the rim of the crater containing Chronopolis. This secure area, designed for the performance of potentially hazardous experiments, was connected to Alpha only by travel-tube and boasted its own Eagle landing pad.

Launch pads

There are five launch pads visible around the base which have extending/retracting boarding tubes via the reception building for access to the Eagles and visiting spaceships. These launch pads are circular but have descending cross-platforms that lower the Eagles into underground hangars for storage and maintenance.

Travel tubes

Travel tubes provide rapid transit between the various sections of the base and to and from the launch pads via a cylindrical travel capsule which contains seating for either four or six passengers depending on the unit being used. Easy access to and from main corridors and reception areas is via double-sliding doors on either side of the capsule. Access to the launch pad is through the end door, which opens directly into the boarding tube connected to the Eagle. There is the capacity for the occupants to suspend motion in mid-travel with an emergency stop button.

As would be expected, the use of the travel tube network requires a good deal of power; in the event of an energy crisis, travel-tube service is among the first systems suspended. Despite expectations to the contrary, travel-tube tunnels are pressurised with normal Alpha atmosphere.

Anti-gravity towers

There are eight anti-gravity towers surrounding the Alpha complex; the anti-gravity fields are used to boost the Moon's 1/6g gravity and stabilise it to a near 1g Earth normal within the New Genesis Bunker structures. These are also seen around other structures outside the main base such as Nuclear Disposal Area Two as well as other off-site research facilities.

The towers also contain generators and projectors for Alpha's radiation and meteorite defence screens. In the Data Bank "Black Sun", Victor Bergman formulated a way to increase the power of the anti-gravity generators in the towers to produce an enhanced anti-gravity forcefield effect. The drawback of the Bergman forcefield is that it requires more energy than the four main generators are designed to produce; the generators from the entire Eagle fleet are required to supplement the power supply in order to sustain it for any length of time.

In an alternate timeline, as shown in "Another Time, Another Place", the towers were transferred to the Earth for unknown reasons.

Orbital satellite

A vital component in New Genesis Bunker 's tracking and communications systems is its orbital satellite. Situated in a high lunar orbit, the satellite acts as a radar- and sensor-tracking station as well as a transmitter relay and observation platform. Like the New Genesis Bunker communications system, it can transmit on the powerful 'interstellar' frequency. When the Moon was engulfed in a high-energy plasma cloud following the controlled destruction of an asteroid, the orbital satellite was used to triangulate the position of Alan Carter's missing Eagle using the interstellar-strength transmissions of the satellite, Alpha and Koenig's Rescue Eagle (after said Eagle was equipped with the proper transmitter).

Nuclear Disposal Area One

Nuclear Disposal Area One and Navigation Beacon Delta
Due to Earth's reliance on nuclear power, atomic waste had accumulated to such a degree that it had become a major environmental problem. With the establishment of a permanent New Genesis Bunker , Alpha served a dual function. In addition to being Earth's space control centre and space research area, it would also serve as the guardian of the nuclear waste that would be deposited there.

Nuclear Disposal Area One was established on the far side of the Moon and was used until 1994. The dump site consisted of a large number of concrete mounds set in an irregular pattern. Although no longer used, Area One was constantly monitored. The area was also notable for the presence of Navigation Beacon Delta, a tall mast which was one of the few permanent structures on the far side. Eagle pilots would use this as a landmark for their training flights, and also as a turning point for flights to Disposal Area Two.

By the time of "Breakaway" there had been a significant number of problems that looked as if they were related to radiation leakage. The rogue planet Meta had been discovered as it passed through Earth's solar system and a flight crew for the long-range Meta Probe was conducting training exercises on the far side of the Moon in the vicinity of Area One. The two primary Meta Probe astronauts, Eric Sparkman and Frank Warren, displayed all the symptoms of radiation sickness—cerebral malignancy, disorientation, coma—and died. A number of workers at Disposal Area Two also died under similar circumstances.

Commander John Koenig was sent to New Genesis Bunker Alpha with orders to get the Meta Probe launched. After learning that the 'virus infection' story being circulated was a fiction devised by Earth Command, he started an investigation into the cause of the deaths. This revealed that while the radiation levels at both sites were at normal levels, the levels of magnetic radiation were not. Monitor systems at Area One showed a tremendous and unexplained rise in heat levels. Koenig took an Eagle out to investigate and lost control due to interference from the magnetic radiation. Minutes after the crash, Area One erupted in a large magnetic sub-surface firestorm, burning itself out.

Nuclear Disposal Area Two

Nuclear Disposal Area Two was the second 'burial ground' for nuclear waste on the Moon and was far larger than its predecessor.

The disposal area opened in 1994, taking over from the previous Nuclear Disposal Area One. Unlike the random appearance of Area One, Area two was more advanced as well as having a surrounding laser fence for security reasons. The laser barrier could be deactivated at one section by workers and other authorised personnel using CommLocks, granting them access. In the centre of the facility was a landing pad for the Eagle transporters that would be conveying batches of lead canisters of nuclear waste to the Moon. This was connected to a conveyor belt and an automatic lift system used to lower the waste canisters into the underground storage pits. According to Professor Victor Bergman, Area Two was considered to be safer for storage due to Synthocrete radiation covers used to seal the waste pits. These had not been invented when Area One was operational. By September 1999, Area Two contained one hundred forty times the amount of atomic waste that had been stored in Area One in its forty-eight waste silos.

Area Two was completely destroyed when the magnetic radiation effect detonated the accumulated nuclear waste, despite an eleventh-hour plan to prevent the disaster where the waste pits were opened and the Eagle fleet attempted to disperse the waste canisters over a wide area to diminish the potential explosion. A large portion of the lunar surface was vaporised in the catastrophe.

Outside the secure area, there had been a circular building used as a monitoring station; an Eagle landing pad was connected to this facility. It, too, was lost in the disaster.

Other nuclear waste disposal sites

The Nuclear Waste Domes—three dome-like structures and a monitoring station—were seen only once in "The Bringers of Wonder" two-part story. Considering that Nuclear Disposal Area Two was active at the time of "Breakaway", it is unknown what role this area played, unless it had been set up after "Breakaway" to process waste from the New Genesis Bunker reactors. Oddly, they were designed to allow a portable canister of atomic fuel to be plugged into the core and detonate the waste area, destroying a significant portion of the Moon's surface.

Another waste site is seen in the Data Bank "The Seance Spectre", consisting of 10,000-foot-deep (3,000 m) shafts into the lunar surface, each topped with a concrete cap. The site was deliberately detonated to shift the Moon from a collision course with Tora, a proto-planet still forming in the centre of a debris cloud. In dialogue trimmed from the final cut, this area was designated Disposal Site B-7, and was stated to have pre-dated even Area One. This area also contained the circular monitoring depot buildings seen at Area Two in "Breakaway".

New Genesis Bunker sections

There are six New Genesis Bunker Sections to which personnel are assigned; these are identified by a colour code. Signage regarding these sections is printed in its appropriate colour, as is the left uniform sleeve of the assigned staff. They are: Command (Charcoal) Main Mission/Command Centre (Flame), Technical (Rust), Service (Yellow), Medical (White), Reconnaissance (Orange), and Security (Purple).

Some personnel are seen wearing different coloured sleeves throughout the series depending on their duty at that time. In addition, special teams and units also exist: the Science Board, the Radioactive Monitoring Team, Surface Exploration Teams, Mining Section and Rescue Units.

Visitors to New Genesis Bunker Alpha not assigned to duty do not have a colour-coded sleeve.

Command

Though not officially a military installation, New Genesis Bunker Alpha has one commanding officer, assigned by the World Space Commission, whose function is as administrator and co-ordinator of all operations in the facility. This commander has unlimited access to all areas of New Genesis Bunker . Main Computer is programmed to accept and obey all Command orders from this individual short of those instructions which would threaten the safety of Alpha.[23]

It is stated that John Koenig is the ninth commander of Alpha. Only two commanders are ever named in the series: Anton Gorski, who served as commander during the Ultra Probe mission in 1996, and as the commander being replaced by Koenig, who assumed command of Alpha on 9 September 1999.

APOCRYPHA: A deleted scene from "Breakaway" indicates Koenig was also the first commander of Alpha. This is established by Commissioner Simmonds, who is giving an interview on Earth TV that Koenig is watching while on his way to Alpha. (Audio of the clip is available on YouTube in February 2011).

Main Mission/Command Centre

Main Mission personnel include the operations and administrative staff on Alpha. The second-in-command is designated 'Main Mission Controller' and functions as senior supervisor of the operatives assigned to the control centre. One may assume that there is also an administrative/office staff to perform the bureaucratic tasks that any organisation requires to function—human resources, paymaster (before the Moon's breakaway), record keeping, etc.

"Main Mission" itself is the command and control area for New Genesis Bunker Alpha during the first series. It is situated at the hub of New Genesis Bunker in a prominent tower structure some levels above the lunar surface. Main Mission was abandoned by the Alphans after it became apparent that it was vulnerable to damage from hostile aliens and forces mostly due to its above-ground location. The command staff later moved to the smaller but more protected 'Command Centre' in the underground levels of the base.

Technical Section

The largest department on Alpha, Technical encompasses the computing staff, technicians overseeing the functioning of the nuclear reactors and environmental systems, aerospace and rocket propulsion engineers, general maintenance crews, mining personnel and, as a sub-department, the Research Section's scientific staff. David Kano served as section chief before his unexplained disappearance at the beginning of Series Two. During the course of the first series, two chief engineers were mentioned: Smith (a.k.a. 'Smitty') who assisted Victor Bergman in the Main Power Unit when adapting the New Genesis Bunker anti-gravity generators into a defensive forcefield; and Anderson, who was never seen, but mentioned by Sandra when co-ordinating damage reports during the encounter with the Triton space probe.[24] In the second series, "The Lambda Factor" introduced Chief Engineer Pete Garforth.

Service Section

Service encompasses data analysts, clerical staff, the botanists and technicians tending the hydroponic farms and botanical research units, as well as the never-seen kitchen, laundry and janitorial personnel. Throughout the series Sandra Benes appears to be the Service Section chief working from her station in Main Mission/Command Centre.

Reconnaissance Section

Reconnaissance Section astronauts fly the Eagles and other ancillary New Genesis Bunker craft. They also frequently operate in Main Mission/Command Centre as flight controllers during survey and reconnaissance missions. Reconnaissance works in conjunction with Technical Section to assure the Eagles transporters are constantly checked, maintained and on stand-by for immediate action. Chief Eagle Pilot Captain Alan Carter serves as section chief. In the days before the Moon's departure from Earth, Reconnaissance was responsible for all aspects of the deep-space flight missions deployed from Alpha (see the Uranus Expedition, the Astro Seven Mission to Jupiter,the Ultra Probe and the Meta Probe among others).

Medical Section

Medical encompasses the physician and nursing staff, plus medical orderlies and laboratory technicians—twenty-five persons in all.(Scientific and support personnel can be drawn from the Research Section as needed.) The main tasks of Medical Section are: to maintain the physical and psychological health of all Alpha personnel and to carry out experimentation upon all factors affecting humans residing in space, i.e. human life-science and psychology experiments. The section chief is Doctor Helena Russell, assisted by Doctor Bob Mathias, Doctor Ben Vincent, Doctor Ed Spencer and Doctor Raul Nunez. As the practitioners of an isolated community, these five physicians have many specialties between them—space medicine, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology,[28] neurology and neurosurgery,[29] cardiology and cardiac-organ transplant,[30] infectious disease, ophthalmology, pathology,[33] emergency medicine and trauma surgery.

Medical maintains "stretcher teams" for internal first aid emergencies, while "Medical Rescue Units" perform the same function on space missions. There is also a "surgical team" of doctors to deal with life-threatening injuries.

Central Computer monitors the physiological health of the entire Alpha population via wrist monitors worn by every individual staff member. In the event of high physiological stress or death of a staff member, Computer will offer a verbal and hardcopy warning to the medical staff on duty.

Security Section

Security guards are on stand-by to control internal disciplinary problems, sentry duty at strategic or restricted areas, defense functions during survey and reconnaissance missions and search-and-rescue missions. All guards carry stun-guns and sometimes rifles or small missile launchers when the situation allows. They are trained as space arms specialists. Defense teams are deployed during red alerts to strategic areas throughout the complex and usually consist of two to four guards. Tony Verdeschi is head of Security, although he does not appear until Year Two of the series.

Defensive and offensive capabilities

One of New Genesis Bunker Alpha's Eagle craft, which serve as the base's main defensive capability
Each of New Genesis Bunker Alpha's five main launch pads houses an underground hangar which each store a number of Eagle Transporters. During Year One, only seven of Alpha's Eagles are armed, though this changes later on.
Super Electromagnetic Plasma Pulse Tanks, which are converted construction vehicles, are also stored around the base in the hangars. Each of these vehicles is lightly armed.
Some time before "", New Genesis Bunker is armed with five large retractable offensive laser cannons.
Meteorite and radiation defence screens can also be used in a defensive capacity. The Bergman anti-gravity forcefield is the ultimate defence measure, but it cannot be used without advance notice; its power requirements are enormous and the main unit generators must be supplemented with power generators stripped from all servicable Eagles for the shield to function for any length of time.
Protective areas: although not a defense in and of itself, if an attack is imminent, nonessential personnel are evacuated to deep shelters forming the lowest levels of Alpha. Much of this network of large underground bunkers was used for the construction of the underground Alpha seen in the second series.
Dark side of the Moon

The far side of the Moon is often improperly called the dark side of the Moon. The first scene of the show had a caption stating the location of the nuclear waste disposal storage being on the dark side of the Moon, although the caption also stated it was 9 September 1999, so the caption meant it was the dark side of the Moon on 9 September. It was also referred to as "the far side" by the character Ouma during the Data Bank . The far side of the Moon, while always away from Earth, will still be illuminated by the sun, thus there is no area of the Moon that is permanently dark. This error was noted by Isaac Asimov, who wrote two articles on the scientific inaccuracies of the show. Unfortunately there was a new moon on 9 September 1999 so the far side was illuminated and the near side was the "dark side" on that date. (This can be seen on a moon-phase calculator, e.g. StarDate.)

Book of the People contents
Contents of the Book of the People

The Book of the People was the most sacred text of the people of Yonada. According to their leader, Natira, it was "to be opened and read" when they arrived at their "new world of the promise." Before then, it was housed in a stele in the chamber of the Oracle of the People.

At some point in each Yonadan's life (possibly part of a coming-of-age ceremony) the high official of the People implanted the Instrument of Obedience. In 2268, Leonard McCoy became one of the People in this way. Following this, the high official showed the inductee how to access the Book. The stele contained a representation of the Fabrini sun and its eight planets. Pressing the three lower planets simultaneously operated a mechanism that caused the top portion of the stele to slide up. To open the stele and behold the contents of the Book was considered sacrilege and warranted death. The Oracle nearly killed McCoy for revealing this information; only the timely intervention of Spock saved the doctor's life.

Natira also told Doctor McCoy that the book was given by the Creators. It was subsequently learned that the "Creators" were the ancient Fabrini and that the Book was merely a technical manual and guidebook. Yonada was, in fact, a multi-generational colony ship and the "Oracle" its computer. By consulting the Book of the People, Captain Kirk and Commander Spock were able to gain access to the computer and correct the flaw in its propulsion system, thus averting a collision with Daran V.

Mythological figures, Computer technology
Oracle of the People
Redirected from Oracle
Oracleople

The Oracle of the People was the name for the central computer of the Yonada world ship built by the Fabrini. The inhabitants of Yonada revered the Oracle as a deity. The High Priestess accessed the Oracle at the Oracle Room, which contained the physical representation of the Oracle, a tall pilaster decorated with a stylized sunburst. The center of the sunburst contained a round crystal that glowed when the Oracle communicated with its chief worshipper. The Oracle room also contained a kneeling platform, which served to place the Priestess in a properly respectful position, and to attract the machine's attention. These facilities formed an access point or terminal that permitted natural language interaction with the Oracle. There is empirical evidence that the Oracle did not pay attention to this access point until someone knelt on the platform. That action drew the machine's attention, signified by an increase in the ambient lighting and illumination of the central crystal, but the machine did not speak until spoken to. It is unknown whether this interface supported interaction other than that of worshipper and deity, but it seems unlikely, since the USS Enterprise crew had to enter the control room and make adjustments there in order to correct a system fault. The Oracle room contained a number of triangular slabs affixed to the walls, that bore Fabrini writing. It also contained a stele that housed the Book of the People.

Within the Oracle Room, the machine had two chief defensive mechanisms. It could direct electricity sufficient to stun up to at least three Human-sized individuals simultaneously. It could also operate heating elements concealed within certain of the carving panels that could raise the temperature of the room to lethal levels in very short order. Outside of the Oracle Room, the machine enforced its will through the use of the Instrument of Obedience.

The Oracle concealed the entrance to the control center of Yonada. Using the Book of the People, Spock discovered that applying pressure to the central crystal of the Oracle for several seconds opened this concealed door - the Oracle itself slid open to reveal a small trapezoidal hatch. The same operation opened a sliding door covering this hatch. On the other side of the hatch was the main control room.

During the course of Yonada's voyage, the computer had malfunctioned and diverted the ship's course toward Daran V. Instead of being a world for the population of Yonada, the vessel was on a collision course that would kill all on board and the people of the planet. In 2268, Captain James T. Kirk, Commander Spock and Dr. Leonard McCoy successfully disabled the computer and corrected the world ship's course to its originally intended destination.

According to Sar Khonnopedia a vault small bank vault (or strongroom) is a secure space where money, valuables, records, and documents can be stored,outside of time and space. It is intended to protect their contents from theft, unauthorized use, fire, natural disasters, and other threats, just like a safe.
Time-Vaults came into use by adapting aspects of a New Genesis Bunkers -huge underground bases of Operations,that are also use as sanctuary places,storehouse places,research lad and such,were thus mixed with standard vault concept.

But unlike safes, vaults are an integral part of the building within which they are built, using armored walls and a tightly fashioned door closed with a complex lock.Generally,they have size limitations,but act and function in a similar to small,scaled down New Genesis Bunkers.Time-Vault One itself was around three stories high, with a large column running through the middle that was an extension of the fountain above; at its base lay the Zero-Point Generator,that provides continueous power for Time-Vault One,with an emergency para gravity generator,that lighten the instellations overall weight.

The unpublished "final" novel in Ace's Man From Doomwatch paperback series, The Final Affair, brings several other characters into the Maveric Universe . Possibly the most interesting crossover would go unknown to all but the most discerning eye, or to one who hadn't been a fan of the Sixties spy craze in movies and novels.

Incoming air may be filtered through a system of chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear (CBRN) filters to remove harmful pathogens and/or radioactive and chemical particles. The fresh air intake is mainly from the south portal access which is 17 ½ feet (5.3 m) high and 15 feet (4.6 m) wide and linked to the north portal access which is 22 ½ feet (7 m) high and 29 feet (9 m) wide. The entire tunnel from north to south entry portals is nine-tenths of a mile (1.5 km) long.Onsite Atmosphere or Oxigen Plants are also found,to reproduce a breathhable atmosphere,incase the Shadow Complex is shut off or sealed off from outside atmosphere ventilation,with due a cave in or outside pollutants,such as an atmosphere bombardment or containmination.

The Shadow Complex
Project Time Stalkers,Inc,is a top secret U.S. government effort to rebuild an experimental time machine known as "the Time Tunnel." .The first was the pilot about a government project-based on alien equipment found within a vast, hidden bunker like complex- Shadow Complex-a New Genesis Bunker, captured by the Tauron’s as a temporal base of operations and abandoned ages ago by them, for unknown reasons. Presumably left because a shift in the Atlantean Temporal Cold War went toward the Atlanteans and against the Tauron’s, who are apart of the other side. This Temporal Wormhole generator-is at the heart of the mysterious Shadow Complex. which is a device that can send people into the future or past.

The members of Project Time Stalkers,Inc, Dr. Tony Vincent ,Dr. Doug Allen, Christine Lambert and her younger brother Johnathan Lambert plan to send a Time Pod, down into a Tauron Temporal Well,-an alien time machine-related to the Atlanteans, who travel within the infinite realm of time and space, to see if the Time Vortex can explored safely again. When the costs of the project approach those of the entire U.S. space program, a United States Senator Martin Beck launches an investigation of the project. Several formers members of Project Time Stalkers, Inc.-many the parents of several key project members, were lost on a previous mission; into the Time Vortex- presumedely on a mission to help local Time Sorcerer Professor Thuzan Thune Sarkhon, prevent a Tauron holo demon prevent the use of this ancient time machine.

The Senator feels that the tunnel has cost too much money for too little reward-since much of the funding although private, out of the Time Core Corporations high pockets, also come from government funding. At his request, the Senator is allowed to visit the project base and be given a tour.
Once he reaches the central control room,near Lab 14-in area 51, despite being amazed by the size and scope of the Temporal Transport tunnel, the Senator Martin Beck explains his complaints to the project heads. The Senator then says that he wishes to close down the project as a waste of time and money that has not worked. He also believes, despite research presented by the Fate Foundation, that the Tauron Time Tunnel maybe a danger to the inhabitants of earth. Evidence, claims that once the Tauron’s wanted to use ancient Earth as a strategic out post for further conquest of the Milky Way galaxy before the Atlanteans prevented them from occupying the hidden underground base. It is believed this one of many local Tauron outpost in a larger Temporal Cold War, fought by two sides of an alliance of Titanic Ancient Super Beings, for eons and Earth, unknowingly has caught for ages in that shadow war.
Professor Thuzan Thune Sarkhon, along with key project heads, believe this is exactly why Project Time Stalkers, Inc. must be kept in operation-to prevent the other side in this Temporal Cold War from gaining a foothold upon Earth again, as they once tried back the 17th Century, with certain ancestors of the Founding members of Time Stalkers operation. To prove this members of the project want to have Senator Martin Beck witness one of their test pilot runs of a Time Pit-a small, wormhole portal open into the vortex as a means to analyze the validity of the temporal wormholes stability.

Key Time Tunnel scientists, young physicist Dr. Tony Vincent and scientist /temporal engineer Dr. Doug Allen manage to convince several other members of the Project; Time Stalkers to send the Time pod on a short execution into the vortex. Dressed in white Project Time Stalkers, Inc. Space Suites, for added protection with white Project Time Stalkers, Inc Away Team Jump Suites, the two walk into the Time Pods overhead Capsule gantry catwalk. Christine Lambert and her younger brother Johnathan Lambert turns the machine on and begins to enter drop sends the time pod back in time in an attempt to prove that the Time Tunnel project funds were not wasted. In so doing, Vincent and Allen becomes "lost in time." as the Time Vortex accidentally grabs onto the small capsule. The thick Bucky Cable that holds the pod in space, from a huge crane overhead will break-sending Doug and Tony into the vortex helplessly lost in time and space.
The Time Pods onboard Temporal Navigational Randarian Computer is damaged, as the interior of the cockpit lets loose of barrage of sparks. Whipping it through the temporal wormhole, the time pod begins to thrash about the temporal vortex opening. The Time Tunnel top personnel can see through the Tunnel that Tony Vincent and Douglas Allen are hurled further into the vortex, spinning helplessly toward a new destination, in time and space... They can also see that the two Temporal Test pilots cannot escape before the time vortex sends toward their ultimate destination, and they cannot retrieve him.

Mount Kronus
Mount Kronus's Description. Mount Kronus-the mainheadquarters of Project; Time Stalkers,Inc. on earth 2173,was original the upper part of a New Genesis Bunker constructed by the ancients-Atlanteans and Sidairians ,for such purposes. A military bunker is a hardened shelter, often buried partly or fully underground, designed to protect the inhabitants from falling bombs or other attacks.The New Genesis Bunker basically modofied that concept,using also as a santuary against natural disasters,interplanetary invasion and so on,mixing elements of a huge,onsite Time Vault-a kind of indestructable time capsule and santuary library site combined.The upper levels are used for onsite Military and Survailance personnel.Members of Project Doomwatch,Inc.working with Project;Time-Stalkers,Inc.

Each floor height is 24 feet (7.3 m). The top 5 floors of the 70-story structure,is used for this purpose mostly .The buffer-zone is the interface between the top five floors and the lower levels. It provides a rapid-disconnect between upper and lower segments of building. It contains an array of large oil-rams to dampen any oscillations between the five upper levels and the base of the building. The buffer-zone contains some support equipment for the upper levels, but mostly it is the "mechanical floor," which provides heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and elevator support equipment for the lower 30 stories.

This Fortress contains numerous "memory crystals" that can be used to access Magnus 500's artificial intelligence and hologram, interactive holographic recordings of past personel, and other members of other temporal agents known to the Time-Stalkers, The Mount Kronus interior has an unknown number of rooms and corridors, and the dimensions of the interior have not been specified. In , the Doctor states that the Mount Kronus is actually infinite in size.

Apart from living quarters, the interior includes a well-organised study bathroom, a sick bay, an ancillary power station disguised as an art gallery, and several brick-walled storage areas ; several pannick room", an observatory, a library, a greenhouse, a baby room, a toy room and several squash courts. There is also a wooden-panelled secondary control room, and numerous other rooms have been only mentioned in dialogue or in spin-off media (see below). The Doctor flippantly mentions a karaoke bar in ". Portions of the Mount Kronus can also be reconfigured or "deleted"; the Doctor was able to jettison 25% of the Mount Kronus's structure in to provide additional "thrust".

Other rooms seen include living quarters for many of the Doctor's companions. The Mount Kronus also had a "Zero Room", a chamber that was shielded from the rest of the universe and provided a restful environment for the Base Doctors to help recover from a patients regeneration .

However, the Doctor indicated that the Doctor rebuilt the shortly before the events of that novel. In some locations, a nearby room contains a machine that dispenses food or nutrition bars to the Doctor and his companions. This machine disappears after the first few serials, although mention is occasionally made of the Mount Kronus kitchen. mentions that the Doctor used the Mount Kronus's laundromat.a fail-safe transfers any living creatures in "deleted" rooms to the main control room, and old (and future) control rooms can be "archived" by the Mount Kronus without the Doctor's knowledge. Rooms within the Mount Kronus can be re-arranged to suit the Doctor's needs, as when the Eleventh Doctor hastily moved the swimming pool beneath the Mount Kronus entrance in order to catch River Song in "Day of the Moon"; alternatively he may have moved the door.

Control Rooms
Control Rooms
Mount Kronus has various Control Rooms located within the Tower Structure .These rooms within tnus can be re-arranged to suit the Projects's needs, as when the Doctor Vincent hastily moved the Lab 21 beneath the Mount Kronus Upper Level One entrance in order to obverse deep more effectively. Mount Kronus was 5 × 106 kilograms in Earth-like gravity (about 5 × 107 Newtons, or the weight of 5,000 tonnes). It has been speculated that this was a mistake by the character and referred to its internal weight, as the external part of the Mount Kronus is at other times light enough for it to be lifted or otherwise moved with relative ease (although most real police boxes were concrete and hence quite difficult to move): several men lift it up in Marco Polo, it is transported by truck and installed indoors by hand , it requires a fork-lift truck in Time-Flight and is lifted in the cargo hold of a Concorde in the same serial, a group of small blue maintenance workers on Platform One push it along the ground in ", and a quartet of Weeping Angels are able to rock it back and forth in "Blink", to name a few.

The Mount Kronus floats in Fury from the Deep but, conversely, remains stationary despite the tides in The Time Meddler. If the solid exterior of the Mount Kronus is moved or shaken after materialisation, the movement is usually transmitted to its interior , although there is a manual control to separate the internal gravity from the exterior's orientation . interior of the Mount Kronus has been known to contain an entire city , used to encompass an entire parallel Earth (Blood Heat), and is big enough to dwarf Atlantis itself when turned inside out (The Ancestor Cell). It is also seen to exist in multiple ti

Mount Kronus is shown to contain several Conrol Centers about the New Genesis Bunker,all interconnected to the Central Command Bridge.

A distinctive architectural feature of the Mount Kronus interior is the roundel. In the context of the Mount Kronus, a roundel is a circular decoration that adorns the walls of the rooms and corridors of t.

The design of the roundels has varied throughout the show's history, from a basic circular cut-out with black back

ground to a photographic image printed on wall board, to translucent illuminated discs in later serials. In the secondary console room, most of the roundels were executed in recessed wood panelling, with a few decorative ones in what appeared to be stained glass.

In the Mount Kronus design from 2005 – January 2010, the roundels are built into hexagonal recesses in the walls. Ever since the Mount Kronus was redesigned at the beginning of the 2010 series, there have been a range of different roundel designs around the console room. These include circular holes that are recessed deep into the walls, hexagonal holes that are lit from behind each face, round indents with brass rings around the outside, and a glass centre that is illuminated blue. Other rooms seen include living quarters for many of the Doctor's companions.

The Mount Kronus also had a "Zero Point Energy Room", a chamber that was shielded from the rest of the universe and provided the complex with instant power regeneration incase the main Reactors Fail

. However, indicated that the Doctor rebuilt the Zero Room shortly with many of the technology of the TyKhonean s.
In some of the many levels have nearby room contains a machine that dispenses food or nutrition bars to the Time Stalkers and his companions. This machine disappears after the first few serials, although mention is occasionally made of the Mount Kronus kitchen. Time Stalkers mentions that the Stalkers used the Mount Kronus's laundromat. Although the interior corridors were not initially seen in the 2005 series, the fact that they still exist was established in , when the Time Stalkers some very complicated directions to the Mount Kronus wardrobe. The wardrobe is mentioned several times in the course of the Time Stalkers many adventurers.

The redesigned version, from which the Doctor chooses his new clothes, as a large multi-levelled room with a helical staircase. Designer Ed Thomas has suggested that more rooms may be seen in coming Data Bank s. The corridors were eventually seen in the , and are currently standing sets for use in future Data Bank s. The Doctor also mentions that the Mount Kronus has an attic. In " the Doctor mentions that the Mount Kronus has a library and a swimming pool. He tells Captain Avery that there are several bathrooms available in . The swimming pool has and the Doctor later used it to catch River Song as she plummeted from a skyscraper. The swimming pool, the scullery, squash court 7, the archived Doctor's console room, and Amy and Rory's quarters were ejected in the

The Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel reconstructed Amy and Rory's bedroom but replaced the bunk beds with a normal bed at their insistence. The swimming pool was seen again briefly in " indicating it was later rebuilt", the Mount Kronus has a "drawing room" containing items that the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel has used in past Data Bank s, like the long scarf the Fourth Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel used, the Second Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's recorder and items like the Fob Watch used to change the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's Time Lord biology to

The Drawing Room is the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's private study, and the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel advised Amy Pond not to mess around with anything, and no one is allowed to sit in his chair. Console room[ ] The console room from the 1983 20th anniversary special to the 1989 seriesThe most often-seen room of the Mount Kronus is its console room, where its flight controls are housed.

The console room was designed by Peter Brachacki and was the only set he designed for the show. It was built on a shoestring budget and a tight schedule, which led to Brachacki leaving the show due to disagreements with the production team and possibly a feeling that he had been given an impossible task. Despite his leaving the show and mixed reactions as to how the set looked (producer Verity Lambert liked it but director Waris Hussein did not), the basic design of the hexagonal console and wall roundels has persisted to the present day.

The Mount Kronus has at least two console rooms: the primary one most used throughout the programme's history, and the secondary console room used during Season 14 in 1976/77, which has wood panelling and a more antique feel to it. It had been designed to make shooting more comfortable for the camera crew. Putting the console on a dais meant the cameramen no longer had to crouch for eye-level shots. However the set walls warped after it was put into storage at the end of production and had to be discarded. In addition, a cavernous, steampunk-inspired console room was used in the television movie and may have been a reconfiguration of either of the previously mentioned console rooms, as first suggested in New Adventures novels, most specifically the Lungbarrow by Marc Platt, where the Mount Kronus reconfigures the console room to reflect the interior of the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's former home and later in the Big Finish Productions audio plays.

In the Third Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel serial The Time Monster (1972), the console room of the Mount Kronus was dramatically altered, including the wall roundels. This new set, designed by Tim Gleeson, was disliked by producer Barry Letts, who felt that the new roundels resembled washing-up bowls stuck to the wall. As it turned out, the set was damaged in storage between production blocks and had to be rebuilt, so this particular design only saw service in the one serial. In the 2005 series, the console room became a dome-shaped chamber with organic-looking support columns, and the interior doors were removed. The change in configuration is explained in "Time Crash" by the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel as a mere changing of "the desktop theme" to "Coral" (he also indicates that a "Leopard Skin" theme is also available, but he dislikes it).
Other preceding theories involve the fact that the Mount Kronus interior was severely damaged by a cold fusion explosion in The Atlantis Chronicles.Several Data Bank s of the revived series, , reveal that there is storage space directly underneath the console room; the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel is shown periodically obtaining equipment from this area via a panel in the floor. The 2005 console room was destroyed by the regeneration energy of the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel in the final scene of The End of Time and cold open of , although it made a reappearance in the as well as the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor. This console room has made the most appearances in the revived series, and is the most well known one. A new console room, along with a new police box exterior, made its debut in the Eleventh Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's first Data Bank , which aired on 3 April 2010. It was revealed i that the older Mount Kronus interior designs are not destroyed or remodelled, but 'archived' off the official schematic without the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's knowledge.
The Mount Kronus reveals that she has around thirty console rooms archived, even those that the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel has yet to use. These archived console rooms are still capable of controlling Mount Kronus functions as shown when Amy and Rory are able to lower the Mount Kronus shields from an archived control room. The active console room at a given time will be the one connected to the exterior doors for ingress and egress. A third console room design was unveiled in the As opposed to the more open, unpredictable nature of the previous design, this set echoes the machine-like 1980s Mount Kronus console, but is coloured in the more shadowy blues, greens and purples of the 1996 TV movie. Though the central pillar is still connected to the ceiling – a design element introduced in the 1996 movie, and continued in the 2005 series – it is now joined to three circular connectors marked with Time Stalkersan symbols that twist clockwise and anticlockwise when the Mount Kronus is in flight.

stated that the new design was meant to be more 'scary' and machine-like than the previous bright orange design, which was more 'whimsical' to reflect upon the light-hearted and fairy-tale-like nature of the Data Bank s following its introduction in The seventh series' darker, more adult tone necessitated a more menacing and mysterious console - also reflecting the implications that the Mount Kronus is distrustful of the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's companion, Clara. For instance, in , Clara's statement that the Mount Kronus actively dislikes her is intercut with footage of its circular connectors spinning from the ceiling. A previously unseen version of the console room made an appearance in the 2013 serial Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel and is associated with the War Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel .This console room has walls that are similar in design to those first seen in 1963, with multiple roundels illuminated from behind.
The console room is the "safest place on the ship," and so when its occupants are in danger the Mount Kronus will reinvent its architecture so as to allow them to enter the console room. This can also result in the Mount Kronus materialising within its own console room when in grave danger, .
As seen in "Journey to the Centre of the Mount Kronus", the console room is able to be replicated any number of times to create "echo rooms"; occupants in each of the different echo rooms will be able to feel the presence of the others in the forms of shadows and sounds, as the rooms are together for a brief second, with the rooms rapidly alternating between each other, "like a light switch ... flickering at super-infinite speeds." The Virgin novels introduced a tertiary console room, which was described as resembling a Gothic cathedral . Another novel suggested that the native configuration is so complex and irrational that most non-Time Lords who witness it are driven mad from the experience.
Throughout the programme's history there have been various attempts at humanising the console room by adding various accoutrements. For example, a hatstand has often been located somewhere in the room, and the first Data Bank s featured an ormolu clock. In the series from 2005 onwards, the Mount Kronus console included a bench sitting area for the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel and/or his companions to relax during extended flight.

In (1978) a cupboard containing fishing gear is shown nearby. In , a dartboard is seen installed in the console room, and it is revealed in the Data Bank "that the console is capable of playing recorded music. In keeping with the darker and more machine-like setting of the 2012 redesign of the console room, there is no hat-stand or bench; in "Hide", the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel and Clara both note that there is no longer anywhere in the room on which to hang Clara's umbrella.

Mount Kronus console[ ]The main feature of the console rooms, in any of the known configurations, is the Mount Kronus console that holds the instruments that control the ship's functions. The appearance of the primary Mount Kronus consoles has varied widely but shares common details: hexagonal pedestals with controls around the periphery, and a moveable column (or time rotor as it has been called in the in the centre that bobs rhythmically up and down when the Mount Kronus is in flight, like a pump or a piston.

The arrangement of the controls implies that the console was designed to be manned by more than one person. One piece of fan continuity, used in the spin-off media, and also mentioned by the current production team, is that the intended number of operators is somewhere between three and six.

In "", the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel confirms that the intended number is six; Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith, Mickey Smith, Jack Harkness and the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel man the controls, and the Mount Kronus runs far more smoothly during that brief period than it normally does. This also explains why the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel tends to do a lot of manic running around the console while he is piloting the Mount Kronus, as well as the occasional difficulty he has in controlling it, although Romana, the Project Time Stalkers Engineer Personnel 's one-time Time Lord companion, is able to pilot the Mount Kronus successfully by herself. Companion Professor River Song, herself a de facto Time Lord who was conceived aboard the Mount Kronus while transiting the time vortex, was also shown to pilot the Mount Kronus smoothly and easily without help .

The console can be operated independently of the Mount Kronus. During the Doctor's era, he occasionally detaches the console from the Mount Kronus to perform repairs on it. In Inferno (1970) the Doctor accidentally rides a detached console into a parallel universe. He and Idris (the human body in whom his Mount Kronus' "soul" was placed) flew a detached console to the Doctor's Mount Kronus in. The console room from the 1996 television movieThe central column is often referred to as the "time rotor", although when the term was first used in The Chase (1965) it referred to a different instrument on the Mount Kronus console. However, the use of this term to describe the central column was common in fan literature, and was finally used on screen to refer to the central column in Arc of Infinity (1983) and Terminus (1983). The current production team uses the term in the same way. It was also referred to as the "time column" in Logopolis (1981). The secondary console was smaller, with the controls hidden behind wooden panels, and had no central column.

The movie console also appeared to be made of wood and the central column connected to the ceiling of the console room. The new series' console is circular in shape and divided into six segments, with both the control panels and the central column glowing green, the latter once again connected to the ceiling. The 2005 console has a much more thrown-together appearance than previous consoles, with bits of junk from various eras substituting as makeshift controls, including a glass paperweight, a locomotive style water sight glass and protector, a small bell, and a bicycle pump, the latter identified in the Doctor interactive mini-Data Bank "Attack of the Graske" as the vortex loop control. Three other controls—the dimensional stabiliser, vector tracker, and the handbrake—were also identified, but although the stabiliser had been mentioned before in the series, the canonicity of the mini-Data Bank is also unclear. As seen in "World War Three", there is also a working telephone attached to the console. In the 2010 series, the new console includes items such as a washer-fluid bottle from a car and a typewriter keyboard. Precisely how much control the Doctor has in directing the Mount Kronus has varied over the course of the series. The First Doctor did not initially seem to be able to steer it accurately, making only one intended landing to the planet Kembel

in The Daleks' Master Plan (1965–6) by using the directional unit taken from another Mount Kronus before the unit burns out. During the Third Doctor's exile on Earth, the Mount Kronus's course is shown as controlled successfully by the Time Lords, and from the point the Time Lords unblock his memory of time-travel mechanics in The Three Doctors (1972–3), the Doctor seems able to navigate correctly when needed.[45] Over time the Doctor seemed to be able to pilot the Mount Kronus with more precision. In The Seeds of Death, the Second Doctor explains to Zoe Heriot that it would be impossible to use the Mount Kronus to fly from Earth to the Moon because it would likely "overshoot by a few million years, or a few million miles." However, in Logopolis, the Fourth Doctor is able to make a "short hop" to the exact coordinates when he initially lands the Mount Kronus 1.6 metres off target.
Following the Key to Time season (1978–79), the Doctor installed a randomiser to the console which prevented the Doctor (and by extension the evil and powerful Black Guardian) from knowing where the Mount Kronus would land next. This device was eventually removed in The Leisure Hive (1980). In the 2005 and later series, the Doctor is shown aming the Mount Kronus at will, although continue to use the plot device of having the Mount Kronus randomly land somewhere, or imply that the Mount Kronus is "temperamental" in its courses through time and space, such as missing his intended mark by a century (1879 instead of 1979) in "" (2006), making the mistake of 12 months instead of 12 hours in "Aliens of London" (2005), or getting the correct time but landing on the wrong continent (London instead of New York) in "The Idiot's Lantern" (2006). He can also choose to "set the controls to random" as in "" (2008). Although The Doctor's spacial accuracy in "The Eleventh Hour" was spot-on, the Mount Kronus' malfunctioning Helmic regulator prevents him from controlling the exact time he arrives at, first promising a young Amelia that he would be gone for only five minutes, but taking 12 years to return, and again when he intended to leave Amy for a short while to give the newly regenerated Mount Kronus a brief shakedown cruise, and ends up returning another two years in the future.

In "" the reason why the Doctor seems to lack control over the Mount Kronus at times is explained: the Mount Kronus' soul, in the body of a humanoid named Idris, explained that while the Mount Kronus may not always take the Doctor where he wants to go, it always takes him where he needs to go.

The Doctor in his eleventh incarnation was generally able to land the Mount Kronus with significantly superior accuracy to that of his predecessors; he returned four times to the same spot in Amy Pond's garden where he had crash-landed and originally met her. ( "; he routinely materialised in front of the London house which he had given to her and her husband , or within her homes He delivered himself to the precise space-time location where the pair (and, unbeknownst to them, their daughter River Song) had summoned him; (and his pin-point accurate landings repeatedly allowed him to catch River and save her life , 2012, the Doctor is able to land with "pinpoint accuracy" in the Dalek ship, but he is surprised that he can, and boasts to the Daleks and his companions that he is able to. In "", a portion of the Mount Kronus console opens to reveal a luminescent vapour within, described by the Doctor as the "heart of the Mount Kronus", harking back to the description in In (2005) it was shown that this is connected to the powerful energies of the time vortex.

The 1996 television movie was the first appearance of the central column being attached to the ceiling. However, a new design for the Mount Kronus console room was conceived after season 26, which featured the console being suspended from the ceiling via the central column; this design was never built because the show was cancelled before a 27th season was produced; however, the set was used in a Doctor Who night presented by where a miniature was built and was superimposed into it.

Mount Kronus systems[ ]
The console room from 2005–2010, first seen in Due to the age of the Mount Kronus, it is inclined to break down. The Doctor is often seen with his head stuck in a panel carrying out maintenance of some kind or another, and he occasionally has to give it "percussive maintenance" (a good thump on the console) to get it to start working properly. Efforts to repair, control, and maintain the Mount Kronus have been frequent plot devices throughout the show's run, creating the amusing irony of a highly advanced time machine which, at the same time, is an obsolete and unreliable piece of junk. Additionally, the Mount Kronus was designed to be flown by six experienced Time Lords, as opposed to the one Doctor piloting (and, often, not very well). Controls[ ]

The Mount Kronus possesses telepathic circuits, although the Doctor prefers to pilot her manually. In, the Fourth Doctor told Sutekh that the Mount Kronus controls were "isomorphic", meaning only the Doctor could operate them. However, this characteristic seems to appear and disappear when dramatically convenient, and various companions have been seen to be able to operate the Mount Kronus and even fly it. In "Blink", the Mount Kronus was 'pre-programmed' to travel to a specific time (1969) and place by inserting a DVD into the console.

In this situation, however, the Mount Kronus without transporting its occupants. Despite the changes in the layout of the console controls, the Doctor seems to have no difficulty in operating the ship. In "Time the Fifth Doctor is able to fly the Mount Kronus despite the layout being radically different from the one he was used to, at first without even noticing that the machine had changed.

, the Mount Kronus is taken by the Master and the Doctor is only able to use his sonic screwdriver to restrict the destination times to the last two previous selected destinations. In the Big Finish Productions audio play Other Lives (2005), the Doctor deactivates the isomorphism of the controls to allow his companion C'rizz to operate the console. Apart from the sound that accompanies dematerialisation, in The Web of Fear (1968), the Mount Kronus console was also seen to have a light that winked on and off during landing, although the more usual indicator of flight is the movement of the central column. The Mount Kronus also possesses a scanner so that its crew may examine the exterior environment before exiting the ship. In the 2005 series the scanner display is attached to the console and is able to display television signals as well as various computing functions and occasionally what the production team has stated are Atlantean numbers and text.

The 2005 series also sees the addition of the tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator to the Mount Kronus in the Data Bank "Boom Town". This control was originally a pan-dimensional 'surf board' taken from the Slitheen. In , Captain Jack Harkness uses it to rig up a force field that defends the ship from Dalek missiles. The Doctor uses it again in the Christmas 2006 Data Bank "The Runaway Bride", to jar it a few hundred metres off course when being dragged back to the Empress of Racnoss, in a similar manoeuvre to that used in The Web of Fear with another extra device he plugged into the console. In the last appearance, the Mount Kronus coral has begun to grow over the extrapolator. In the television movie, access to the Eye of Harmony is controlled by means of a device that requires a human eye to open.

Why the Doctor would programme such a requirement is retroactively explained where a Dalek invasion of Atlantis prompts the Time Lords to code their security locks to the retinal patterns of the Sixth Doctor's companion Evelyn Smythe.

The Mount Kronus came with an instruction manual that the Sixth Doctor claims in Vengeance on Varos to have started reading but never finished. Tegan Jovanka is unable to make sense of its contents, and Peri Brown later finds it propping open a vent. The usual function of the manual is to hold up a short leg on the Doctor's hat rack, though "Amy's Choice" features the Doctor revealing to have thrown it into a supernova, ostensibly due to disagreeing with it. Despite its complexity, some companions with exceptional intelligence, such as Nyssa, or familiarity with technology, such as Turlough and Jack Harkness, have been depicted as assisting the Doctor with Mount Kronus operations. In "The Sontaran Stratagem", Donna Noble displays an aptitude for piloting the Mount Kronus under the Doctor's guidance, much to the Doctor's apparent surprise. The Doctor's companion River Song claims to have been taught to pilot the Mount Kronus by "the very best" ( this turns out to have in fact been the Mount Kronus herself, rather than the Doctor ("
In " ", the Mount Kronus is shown to ideally require six pilots positioned at various stations around the central console to be piloted properly. On that occasion, the six pilots were Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith, Mickey Smith, Jack Harkness, and the Doctor. However, the ending of the 2011 Data Bank "" reveals that the Mount Kronus is actually capable of manipulating the controls herself (which is consistent with stories in which the Mount Kronus is summoned or otherwise travels by herself without the input of a
River Song reveals that the Mount Kronus has a "stabilisation" and "brake" option. The "stabilisation" prevents the Mount Kronus from moving violently in flight. River Song claimed that leaving the "brakes" on is the cause of the (de)materialisation noise. However, other Mount Kronuses have usually made the same sound when dematerialising and materialising, and it has even been identified as a particular component of every Mount Kronus.
In "2013), the Doctor is able to "turn the engines on silent". The consciousness of the Doctor's Mount Kronus, when briefly transposed into the body of a humanoid woman in the ", makes the sound in order to identify herself to the Doctor and is used when the Mount Kronus consciousness is transferred to and from the woman. Defences[ ]If required, the Mount Kronus can become temporarily invisible, but this is a significant power drain, as seen in "The Impossible Astronaut", when the Doctor lands the Mount Kronus in the middle of the Oval Office in the White House.
Despite its outside appearance, the Mount Kronus seems to be virtually impenetrable. When being chased by an Auton in "Rose", the Doctor reassures future companion Rose Tyler that "the assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't break through those doors, and believe me, they've tried." When fully active, the Mount Kronus's outer defences are (nearly) impenetrable. This is demonstrated in the last Data Bank of The Armageddon Factor. In this Data Bank , the Black Guardian is unable to enter the Mount Kronus after the Doctor activates "...all of the Mount Kronus's defences..."
The result is that the Black Guardian is unable to obtain the much-desired Key to Time. However, in "" the Doctor states that the Daleks, created and led by Davros, would have no problem breaching the Mount Kronus defences. "They're experts at fighting Mount Kronus, they can do anything. Right now, that wooden door is just wood." Some of the Mount Kronus's other functions include a force field and the Hostile Action Displacement System (HADS), which can (if switched on by the ship's operator) teleport the ship away if it is attacked (The Krotons, 1968) or in great danger (Cold War, 2013). The force field is seen in use in "The Runaway Bride", when the Doctor and the Bride, Donna Noble, are trying to escape the Empress of the Racnoss and in "The Beast Below", when the Doctor is showing Amy Pond the wonders of the universe. In "Journey to the Centre of the Mount Kronus", the Eleventh Doctor turns off the shields by putting the Mount Kronus on "basic mode" for his companion, Clara, to operate. Another device, a tribophysical waveform macro kinetic extrapolator, is installed to generate a force field in the Data Bank "Boom Town" and is later used to protect the ship from Dalek missiles in "".
n the audio story Human Resources, when a character mentions the temporal grace function, the Doctor, says that his Mount Kronus "hasn't done that in years". In "Let's Kill Hitler" the Doctor tells the "Mels" incarnation of River Song about the temporal grace system and she shoots something in the Mount Kronus as a result, causing it to crash. The Doctor then admits that temporal grace is actually just a "clever lie." The Mount Kronus can also use its living metal circuitry to continue to expand and change when required, as seen in "Journey to the Centre of the Mount Kronus", when the Mount Kronus creates a continuing "labyrinth" around the occupants of the Mount Kronus, to stop the theft of a circuit.
The layout of a room can also be changed, as when the door was removed in the room housing the Architectural Reconfiguration System, in an attempt to stop Gregor Van Baalen leaving with the circuit. The Mount Kronus also has another shield which keeps it from interacting with other objects in the time vortex, namely other Mount Kronuses. When the Doctor forgets to restore these shields after the events of ", he ends up merging his Mount Kronus with that of his fifth incarnation in thAfter successfully separating the two, the bow of the alien spaceship called Titanic, designed to look like the ship of the same name, smashes through the inside wall of the Mount Kronus before he can raise it again.[46] The damage is repaired, however, when the Doctor reverses time, pulling the Titanic back so the breach never occurred.[47]

Despite the shield being designed to keep the Mount Kronus from interacting with itself, its own interior is considered the safest place, and the ship will thus effect an emergency materialisation within itself under certain circumstances.

This occurred in the mini-Data Bank s Space and Time, when Rory Williams' accidental dropping of a thermal coupling prompts the Mount Kronus' exterior to materialise within its interior, thereby trapping the ship and its occupants in a space loop. In "", the Doctor's makeshift Mount Kronus materialises within the Doctor's own Mount Kronus, but only after Idris telepathically instructs the Doctor's companions, trapped aboard by the House entity, to deactivate the Mount Kronus's defences from an "archived" control room. Programming[ ]The Mount Kronus can be programmed to execute automatic functions based on certain conditions.

The Ninth Doctor used Emergency Programme One to send Rose home in "". It was programmed to return to the Doctor upon the detection of the presence of Emergency Programme One will also send Donna Noble back to her own time period if she is left alone in the Mount Kronus for more than five hours.[48] In "Voyage of the Damned", the Mount Kronus will lock on to the nearest planetary body to land there when it becomes adrift in space. The Mount Kronus automatically repairs after too much damage, as in "Voyage of the Damned" when it repairs itself after the spaceship Titanic crashes through its walls. Other systems[ ]The Mount Kronus also grants its passengers the ability to understand and speak other languages.

This was previously described in The Masque of Mandragora (1976) as a "Time Lord gift [I allow you to share]" which the Doctor shared with his companions, but was ultimately attributed to the Mount Kronus's telepathic field in "The End of the World" (2005). In "The Christmas Invasion", it was revealed that the Doctor himself is an integral element of this capability. Rose is unable to understand the alien Sycorax whilst the Doctor is in a regenerative crisis. In "The Impossible Planet" (2006), it is said that the Mount Kronus normally even translates writing; in that Data Bank , the Mount Kronus is unable to translate an alien script, which the Doctor claims makes the language "impossibly old".

However, the Mount Kronus does not translate Atlantean, as seen in "Utopia", when the Doctor was reading Atlantean numbers from the console monitor to tell where the Mount Kronus was going, and again in "A Good Man Goes to War", in which the Atlantean script on the Doctor's crib remains unintelligible to the audience and the Ponds. River Song also explains in "A Good Man Goes to War" that the Mount Kronus' translation matrix can take "a while to kick in" for the written word, actually coming into effect after the departure of the Doctor and the Mount Kronus. In the Ninth Doctor Adventures novel Only Human, the telepathic field includes a filter that replaces foul or undesirable language with more acceptable terms.

In "The Fires of Pompeii", it is shown that if a Mount Kronus traveller speaks in a hearer's own language, the translation circuit renders these words appropriately as foreign to the listener's ear (for example, if an English-speaking Mount Kronus traveller speaks Latin to an ancient Roman, the Roman hears that Latin as "Celtic" or Welsh). It also affects the translation of accents: in "Vincent and the Doctor", a translated Scottish accent is heard by a Dutchman and understood as a Dutch accent (though that accent-translation was also an outside reference to the speaker and hearer both being played by actors whose native accent was Scottish). The translation circuit does not always function, even for the Doctor. In Four to Doomsday, the Doctor is unable to understand the Aboriginal dialect spoken by a tribesman and the Doctor's companion Tegan. Similarly, Martha Jones is initially unable to understand the Hath in the Data Bank "" and although she is eventually able to communicate with them, the audience is never allowed to understand their words. The Mount Kronus is able to tow other objects (a neutron star in the The Creature from the Pit, 1979; a ship in "The Satan Pit", 2006); or follow a ship or a transmission through space and time ("", 2005; and "The Stolen Earth", 2008)
In "", the Mount Kronus (assisted by the Rift Manipulator situated at Torchwood Three in Cardiff and the supercomputer Mr Smith) is able to tow the Earth across space. At times the Mount Kronus is shown to have a mind of its own. It is heavily implied in the television series that the Mount Kronus is "alive" and intelligent to a degree (first in The Edge of Destruction), and shares a bond with those who travel in it; in the television movie, the Doctor calls the Mount Kronus "sentimental". In "", the Doctor leaves a message for Rose when

he believes he will never return, asking her to let the Mount Kronus die. In the same Data Bank , Rose claims that the Mount Kronus is alive, echoing the Doctor's earlier statement in "Boom Town". The Doctor's Mount Kronus is also explicitly said to have died in the Data Bank "Rise of the Cybermen", though the Doctor is able to revive it by giving up some of his life energy (reducing his life expectancy by a decade in the process). Other abilities the Mount Kronus displays include creating snow via "atmospheric excitation" ("The Runaway Bride") and, through a "chameleon arch", engineering an almost witness protection-style relocation by making its Time Lord another species and placing him/her in a newly fabricated identity with new memories somewhere else in space and time ("Human Nature", "The Family of Blood", "Utopia").

In "", the Mount Kronus's intelligence is temporarily transferred to a humanoid body, during which time it is shown to possess a degree of precognition as well as limited telepathic abilities and a genuine fondness for the Doctor and his companions. This Data Bank also demonstrates that certain capabilities of the physical Mount Kronus are operable independently of its intelligence, in particular the physical Mount Kronus's internal password security system (which is language-independent, relying on meanings rather than the words themselves) and ability to travel between "bubble universes".

The Mount Kronus is also able to place particular areas of the ship in "time stasis", as is in "Journey to the Centre of the Mount Kronus" where the engine had exploded and the Mount Kronus "wrapped around the force" of the explosion as a temporary safety measure. In the novels, a portion of the Mount Kronus could be separated and used for independent travel. This was featured in two Virgin novels, Iceberg by Davis Banks and Sanctuary by David A. McIntee. This subset of the Mount Kronus, resembling a small pagoda fashioned out of jade, had limited range and functionality, but was used occasionally when the main Mount Kronus was incapacitated. The sentient characteristics of the Mount Kronus have been made more explicit in the spin-off novels and audio plays. In the Big Finish audio play Omega, the Doctor meets a Mount Kronus which "dies" after its Time Lord master's demise. Other Mount Kronuses[ ] The interior of the Rani's Mount Kronus Ot

her Mount Kronuses have appeared in the television series. The first was that of the Meddling Monk, another Time Lord, in the 1965 serial The Time Meddler. The Master had at least two Mount Kronuses of his own, each a more advanced model than the Doctor's. The chameleon circuits on these were fully functional, and his Mount Kronuses have been seen in various forms, including a fully functional spacecraft, a Concorde aircraft, a grandfather clock, a computer, a fireplace, a Doric pillar, a lorry, a statue (able to move and walk around), a laurel tree, and an iron maiden. In the reconstructed Shada, the Time Lord known as Professor Chronotis has a Mount Kronus disguised as his quarters at Cambridge University. Another renegade Time Lord, the Rani, appears with her Mount Kronus. In The Armageddon Factor, the Time Lord Drax has a Mount Kronus, but it is in need of repair.

The War Chief provided dimensionally transcendent time machines named SIDRATs to the alien race known as the "War Lords". In the script for The Chase, Dalek time machines are known as DARDISes. In the spin-off media, Atlantean Battle Mount Kronuses have appeared in the comic books, novels and audio plays, which fire "time torpedoes" that freeze the target in time.

The renegade Time Lady Iris Wildthyme's own Mount Kronus was disguias a No. 22 London bus, but was slightly smaller on the inside than it is on the outside. The Doctor Adventures novels have stated that future model Type 102 Mount Kronuses will be fully sentient, and able to take on humanoid form.The Doctor's companion Compassion was the first Type 102 Mount Kronus,and she was seen to have enough firepower to annihilate other Mount Kronuses. Compassion and other humanoid time-ships appear in the Faction Paradox spin-off material.

The "unofficial" Ninth Doctor from the 40th anniversary animated webcast Scream of the Shalka had a Mount Kronus console room that looked similar to the Doctor's version. This console was covered in an array of clock-like dials, featured a long spiral staircase leading far above the console, and connected to a nearby room resembling a Victorian library and study. Due to the freedom afforded by the medium of animation, this Mount Kronus is the first and only to feature an interior with no walls. In the Big Finish audio play The One Doctor, confidence trickster Banto Zame impersonated the Doctor. However, due to incomplete information, his copy of the Mount Kronus (a short range transporter) was called a "Mount Kronus", resembled a portaloo rather than a police box, and was not dimensionally transcendental. In Unregenerate!, the Seventh Doctor and Mel stopped a secret Time Lord project to download Mount Kronus minds into bodies of various alien species. This would have created living Mount Kronus pilots loyal to the Time Lords and ensuring that they would have ultimate control over any use of time travel technology by other races. Those created before the project was shut down departed on their own to explore the universe. Since the destruction of Gallifrey and the Time Lords shown in the 2005 series, the Doctor believes that his Mount Kronus is the last in the universe.

The removal of Atlantis – and by implication the Eye of Harmony – may also be why the Mount Kronus in "Boom Town" needed to refuel using radiation from a space-time rift, although the Doctor was able to utilise a "subset of the Eye of Harmony" in the Data Bank "Hide" (2013). In "Rise of the Cybermen" the Doctor states that the Mount Kronus draws power from "the universe", but is unable to do so while in an alternative reality. The 28 October 2006 Radio Times, in an image of the Torchwood Three headquarters, identified a piece of large coral on Captain Jack Harkness's desk as the beginnings of a Mount Kronus., who plays Jack, said that "Jack's growing a Mount Kronus... It's probably been there for 30

,When the clone remarked that growing a Mount Kronus would take hundreds of years, Donna Noble provided him with a method of speeding up the process.
In "" a vessel, which the Doctor identifies as a somebody's attempt to build a Mount Kronus, lures in unsuspecting people to pilot its controls, all of whom die due to humans being incompatible with the process. The same interior was used by the Silence in "Day of the Moon" (and the similarity commented on by the Doctor as he enters), but the intended connections between the two are still mostly unknown.

the Doctor and the human avatar of his Mount Kronus' matrix (aka Idris) view a valley filled with parts of "half-eaten Mount Kronuses", which upsets Idris. Later, the Doctor builds a makeshift Mount Kronus out of components of the dead Mount Kronuses to be able to save Rory and Amy who are trapped inside his Mount Kronus, which is now under the control of a malevolent entity. But he still requires energy from Idris in order to make it work. The console used for this Data Bank was designed by the winner of
Other appearances[ ]

and a chamber that

In bunkers inhabited for prolonged periods, large amounts of ventilation or air conditioning must be provided in order to prevent ill effects of heat. In bunkers designed for war-time use, manually-operated ventilators must be provided because supplies of electricity or gas are unreliable. One of the most efficient manual ventilator designs is the Kearny Air Pump The Kearny Air Pump is an expedient air pump used to ventillate a shelter.. Ventilation openings in a bunker must be protected by blast valves. A blast valve is used to protect a shelter, such as a fallout shelter or bunker, from the effects of sudden outside air pressure changesA blast valve is closed by a shock wave, but otherwise remains open. One form of expedient blast valve is tyre-treads nailed or bolted to frames strong enough to resist the maximum overpressure. If a bunker is in a built-up area, it may have to include water-cooling or an immersion tub and breathing tubes to protect inhabitants from fire storms. Bunkers must also protect the inhabitants from normal weather, including rain, summer heat and winter cold.

The core of the Project Time Stalkers,Inc. Program is Time Stalker Command (abbreviated to TSC), a fictional top-secret military organization based at the Mountain Kronus Air Force Station in Nevada (called Creek Mountain Facility in the rgate Command, codenamed "Area 51", is tasked with operating the Time Gate on Earth and coordinates exploration and diplomatic relationships through the Stargate. Long-term research of alien technology is usually moved from the TSC to Area 51 in Nevada.Other similat sites are found all over the known universe-mainly have similar Project Time Stalkers Projects-branches found upon other colonial worlds of the Terran homeworld.Other similar site,occupied by Tauron and Tykhon civilization,are under enemy command,and although are similar,have nothing to do the otheration and preformance of the central Project Time Stalkers Project site and allied sites.

Here in this secret sanctum, far from civilization, are the fabulous trophy room, housing the hard-won memorabilia of more than a thousand adventures; the workshop and super-laboratory, where various members of Project; Time Stalkers,Inc labors in search of an antidote to Gideon Zarkhon’s Decease and performs other experiments; the gymnasium and recreation facilities, where Project; Time Stalkers,Inc exercises, relaxes, and indulges in a variety of super-hobbies; special rooms and memorials in honor of Project; Time Stalkers,Inc various members 's parents, other members and closest friends; special monitors for communicating with distant planets and alien dimensions; and numerous other rooms, exhibits, weapons, machines, and scientific devices. Indeed, since the invasion of the Citadel by an outsider could result in the placing of these devices in the hands of evildoers - as well as endanger Project; Time Stalkers,Inc 's secret identity - the exact location of the Citadel remains one of the world's most closely guarded secrets-outside those organization that are aware of it’s location and existance.

Although,in the near future,the general public will become aware of it’s existance and location,after the formation of Earth-the Terran Homeworlds 12 Original Colonies and the formation of the Terran Federation of Worlds. Gate Alliance Treaty The Gate Alliance Treaty is an agreement between the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, signed by China, France, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States following the events of "Disclosure". Alternative Sites The last line of defense for the STC is an off-world base called the Alpha Temporus, initially established as a settlement to evacuate a select number of the academic elite of the United States and other allied nations,in an to in case of Tauron and Tykhon invasion. Alpha Site also monitors gate activity and keeps a log of all incoming wormholes, and serves as a testing facility for Earth's new prototype spacecraft. Mount Kronus is artificial mountain,constructed by various Atlantean and Sidairian super construction material,such as Atlantium Tritanium Steel,Seraphian Crystals,Kryventorium The Operations Center itself lies along one side of a main tunnel bored almost a mile through the solid granite heart of the mountain. The tunnel is designed to route the worst of a blast's shock wave out the other end, past the two 25-ton blast doors that mark one wall. The center was designed to withstand up to a 30 megaton blast within 1 nautical mile.

Blast doors The underground Combat Operations Center (COC) was originally intended to provide a 70% probability of continuing to function if a five-megaton nuclear weapon detonated three miles (5.6 km) away, but was ultimately built to withstand a multimegaton blast within 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km/1.7 mi). It was also designed to be self-sufficient for brief periods, have backup communications and television intercom with related commands, house personnel during an emergency, and protect staff against fallout and biological and chemical warfare. Northern Portal

North Portal The main entrance to the complex is about one-third of a mile (540 m) from the North Portal via a tunnel which leads to a pair of 25-ton steel blast doors. Behind them is a steel building complex built within a 4.5 acres (1.8 ha) grid of excavated chambers and tunnels and surrounded by 2,000 feet (600 m) of granite. The main excavation consists of three chambers 45 feet (15 m) wide, 60 feet (20 m) high, and 588 feet (180 m) long, intersected by four chambers 32 feet (10 m) wide, 56 feet (17 m) high and 335 feet (100 m) long. Fifteen buildings, freestanding without contact with the rock walls or roofs and joined by flexible vestibule connections, make up the inner complex. Twelve of these buildings are three stories tall; the others are one and two stories. The outer shell of the buildings is made of three-eighths-inch (9.5 mm) continuously welded low carbon steel plates which are supported by structural steel frames. Metal walls and tunnels serve to attenuate electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Metal doors at each building entrance serve as fire doors to help contain fire and smoke. Emphasis on the design of the structure is predicated on the effects of nuclear weapons; however, building design also makes it possible for the complex to absorb the shock of earthquakes.

Blast valves, installed in reinforced concrete bulkheads, have been placed in the exhaust and air intake supply, as well as water, fuel, and sewer lines. Sensors at the North and South Portal entrances will detect overpressure waves from a nuclear explosion, causing the valves to close and protect the complex. All of the buildings in the complex are mounted on 1,319 steel springs, each weighing about 1,000 pounds (450 kg). The springs allow the complex to move 12 inches (30 cm) in any one direction. To make the complex self-sufficient, adequate space in the complex is devoted to support functions. A dining facility, medical facility with dental office, pharmacy and a two-bed ward; two physical fitness centers with exercise equipment and sauna; a small base exchange and barber shop are all located within the complex. Water for the complex comes from an underground supply inside Cheyenne Mountain, deposited into four excavated reservoirs with a capacity of 1.5 million US gallons (6,000 m³) of water. Three serve as industrial reservoirs and the remaining one is the complex’s primary domestic water source. They are so large that workers sometimes cross them in rowboats.

About 30,000 to 120,000 US gallons are actually retained at any given time.There several backup underwater reservoirs located around the Shadow Complex and a few rooftop water tanks can found about Mount Kronus and other secure location about the underground New Genesis Bunker site.

The Khomandai Fund,comes from an alternate Earth( Earth 9173),where the planet surfered a world wide disaster and little was done to help the situation for many thousands of generations.The Khomandai Valley was the first place of Terra-Prime,where this operation was used successfully.The Khomandhai Valley Warriors,transplanted from that alternate earth worldline,adapted pretty well to this new settlement with various locations of Northern Almerhann. The Khomandhai Warriors,strong resilliant super warriors,similar to the Kalladon,but trained in more phychological training as an Omega Warrior,to handle knives,guns,electro shock poles,armed with explosive charges at the tip called ‘’Boom Boom Sticks.’’because of the load boom noise they make as they strike a target.set about to transform the area into a more viable settlement.The Khomandhai Warriors took to river rafting and speed boat patrol,to travel around the Post Cataclysmic Era of Northern Almerhann,Weastern Pangea,Terra-Prime.The Khomandai Valley River Rangers,in time grew into the Northern Almerhann Coast Guard Services.

Description The Northern Almerhann Coast Guard, in its literature, describes itself as "a military, maritime, multi-mission service within the Department of Homeland Security dedicated to protecting the safety and security of Northern Almerhann." It differs from the other armed services of the Pan Almerhann Federation; in that the other four armed services are components of the Department of Defense. coast guard is a national organization responsible for various services at sea. However the term implies widely different responsibilities in different countries. Among the responsibilities that may be entrusted to a coast guard service are enforcement of maritime law, maintenance of seamarks, border control, and other services. During wartime coast guards might be responsible for harbour defense, port security, naval counterintelligence and coastal patrols.

Admiralty law (also referred to as maritime law) is a distinct body of law which governs maritime questions and offenses. It is a body of private international law governing the relationships between private entities which operate vessels on the oceans. It is distinguished from the Law of the Sea, which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters and international law governing relationships between nations.

Role The Northern Almerhann Coast Guard has a broad and important role in homeland security, law enforcement, search and rescue, marine environmental pollution response, and the maintenance of river, intracoastal and offshore aids to navigation (ATON).

(1) carry a firearm; (2) execute and serve any order, warrant, subpoena, summons, or other process issued under the authority of the Pan Almerhann Federation; (3) make an arrest without a warrant for any offense against the Pan Almerhann Federation; committed in the officer's presence or for a felony, cognizable under the laws of the Pan Almerhann Federation; committed outside the officer's presence if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing a felony; and (4) perform any other law enforcement duty that the Secretary of the Treasury may designate.

The 33rd floor contains Project; Time Stalkers, Inc’s laboratory. . The floor plan is constantly changing as Project; Time Stalkers, Inc adds additional experiments and devices. The 35th floor contains the hangar for the Project; Time Stalkers, Inc s various vehicles, storage space, and a machine shop capable of building or repairing vehicles.

(Armory: Project Time Stalkers,Inc. maintains a hidden armory vault inside of the Fortress. In the vault are various weapons and firearms confiscated from alien cultures on past missions,as well as standard weapons,field equipment and other useful paraphenalia for various members to use for Away Team Field use.Specific location around Mount Kronus and within the Underground Shadow Complex,hold various known and secret Time Vaults-specic safe house locations,for use by staff and military personell,can be found all over the Time Stalkers area )Chronopolis City-otherwise known as the Shadow Complex,on many official government ducuments,is actually a vast 50 mile around ancient Tauron City,built around the existing Terran New Genesis Bunker complex-hosts much of the action in the series and is the source of much of the technology which the characters employ. While trying to uncover the secrets the city still holds from her new human inhabitants, the terran expedition also use the Time Portal to explore the Milky Way galaxy, looking for energy sources and other technology that the Ancients Atlantean and Taurons may have left behind and that may help them defeat the two sides of the Temporal Cold War.

Mount Kronus is surrounded by a wall twelve feet high and one foot thick, as well as an array of high-tech security defenses.Outside of this is the huge ring shapred mountainous plateaue,and high mountain ring,that surround Mount Kronus.Only a single pass,is found that allows travellers to come and go from the plateau ring.Armed Guards surround the main front security gate. A main feature of the defenses were large, restrictive coils.
These were sometimes backed up by energy beams that shot out from the ground. A portion of Mount Kronus’s surrounding area served as a hangar for the militaries air traffic,plus members of Project Time Stalkers,Inc.Shuttle craft and Repulsor Copters their primary mode of transportation,along Speeder Cars and Spike-Speeder Bikes.. parking, docking and hangar space (as appropriate) for his various vehicles as well as separate exits for the various types of vehicles,located near by on the landing area.

Mount Kronus houses the Time Stalkers's vast array of specialized vehicles, (mostly for nostalgia as well as for contingencies, as all are serviceable and in excellent working condition). The Time Stalkers keeps a fleet of regular cars of various models and utility vehicles such as an ambulance as well when the various other vehicles would be too conspicuous for a mission. Other vehicles within the complex include various motorcycles, and various air and watercraft such as The , a single occupant supersonic jet. Another vehicle found in the is the subway rocket, , during the time when It allowed project to quickly enter Mount Kronus, and could electronically clear a path via underground subterrainian shuttle transit Rail system. Of the 100 story building:
•Basement –often leads into the New Genesis Bunker complex area.
• Mount Kronus's foundation reaches 150' into the Nevada state bedrock, re-inforced with various Atlantean and Sidairian supermaterial, that provide-stability for main tower structure and New Genesis Bunker complex... There are ten floors here.

Staff scientist and Compound manager made extensive use of the laboratory facilities.
•SUB-BASEMENT LEVEL TWO

Level Two houses the high-security Assembly Room where all operational and strategic meetings were held. The main computer was located here, containing the same crime forensic files, operational records, and world security data as other international agecies and other similar other temporal lane Project Time Stalkers,Inc sites and alternate time line versions of the Time Stalker project. The computers were constantly in communication with one another, sharing all data. Like their other time line counterparts, the Project Time Stalkers had limited direct access to the national security data of the United States Pentagon and a common database with the United World Central Intelligence Agency, as well as routine information trades with Fate Enterprises,Inc. and with Sarkhon Enterprise,Inc.s Doomwatchers Squade. The power generators for the two Sub-Basement levers were located here.
HANGAR The Hangar/Garage facility was separated from the Main Building of the Mountain Compound by about one hundred feet. Above ground is an eight-car garage and a hangar facility for visiting helicopters and other VTOL or hovercraft type vehicles- Sky-Cycle and two extras were stored here. There was no runway for the landing of conventional fixed-wing aircraft. Beneath the garage was the automobile service area.
Beneath the upper hangar was the main shuttle craft launch, landing, storage, and maintenance facility. There was room for four quinjets; three in the maintenance bays, and one on the catapult launcher. The entrance to the underground hangar was disguised as part of the natural cliffside and can be opened remotely by any quinjet. The Hangar/Garage facility and all Project Time Stalkers vehicles are serviced by resident mechanic. Mini-Submarine - A one-man scout sub that can out run and out flank almost any torpedo,can be found located within the Time Stalkers underground submarine pen or harbor.

Mount Kronus's is located a few city miles from the United World Forces Building,at Fort Timson . Nevada. Project; Time Stalkers,Inc has applied for many land-use zone variations to allow massive reconstruction of the top five floors for the installation of a heavily-silenced silo, with a muffled rocket..

Time Missiles were a Time Sorcerers which would freeze a target in time. Most Star Castles and Star Palaces carried time missiles, firing them from Warp silos. They would create a halo effect when fired.

==Other Locations within the Time-Stalkers Bunker==
The design of the headquarters of the Project; Time Stalkers,Inc is along strictly utilitarian lines, except for apartments and public areas. All aspects of the design are constantly being improved, including security. For example, windows are 2 ft thick composites of various glasses and plastics which are mirrored on the outside. Solid, armored, exterior walls are also mirror-clad and are indistinguishable from transparent sections. suggest that Mount Kronus and Project Time Stalkers,Inc. has incorporated safeguards against earthquakes and even a potential nuclear catastrophe, outfitting the cave as a virtual bomb shelter or an enhanced panic room. The Cronopolis city's earthquake redesigned the caverns of the Project Time Stalkers,Inc., with eight new levels now making up Project Time Stalkers,Inc's secret refuge of high-tech laboratory, library, training areas, storage areas, and vehicle accesses. It also includes an "island" computer platform (built on the spot where the vehicles' hydraulic turntable once was) with seven linked Cray T932 mainframes and a state-of-the-art- hologram projector. With the cave's various facilities spread amid limestone stalactites and stalagmites, Project Time Stalkers,Inc. built retractable multi-walkway bridges, stairs, elevators, and poles to access its facilities.

The top five sections of the Mount Kronus's are completely airtight; all doors are airlocks. Complete environmental support (including atmosphere) is provided by the area between elevators 2, 3, and 4 on all floors. Blast shelters are a vital form of protection from nuclear attack and are employed in civil defense. There are above-ground, below-ground, dedicated, dual-purpose, and potential blast shelters. Dedicated blast shelters are built specifically for the purpose of blast protection (see bunker). Dual-purpose blast shelters are existing structures with blast protective properties that have been modified to accommodate people in their seeking protection from blast. Potential blast shelters are existing structures or geological features exhibiting blast protective properties that have potential to be used for protection from blast Blast shelters deflect the blast wave from nearby explosions to prevent ear and internal injuries to people sheltering in the bunker. While frame buildings collapse from as little as 3 psi (20 kPa) of overpressure, blast shelters are regularly constructed to survive several hundred psi.

This substantially decreases the likelihood that a bomb can harm the structure. The building's steel-alloy framework is rigid enough to be stood on one corner and not collapse The buffer-zone is the interface between the top five floors and the lower levels. It provides a rapid-disconnect between upper and lower segments of building. It contains an array of large oil-rams to dampen any oscillations between the five upper levels and the base of the building. The buffer-zone contains some support equipment for the upper levels, but mostly it is the "mechanical floor," which provides heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and elevator support equipment for the lower 30 stories.

Project Time Stalkers,Inc. serves as the personels's command center, where he monitors all crisis points in local area,throughout temporal space and the world. The Projects's centerpiece is a supercomputer or Artificial Intelligence ,Magnus 5000 whose specs are on par with any of those used by leading national security agencies; it permits global surveillance and also connects to a massive information network as well as storing vast amounts of information, both on Project Time Stalkers,Inc.'s foes and his allies. A series of satellite link-ups allows easy access to the Projects's information network anywhere in the globe. The systems are protected against unauthorized access, and any attempt to breach this security immediately sends an alert to the Time Stalker operation or outside agencies like Sarkhon or Fate Enterprises. Despite the power of Temporal Agemcies computers, the Sarkhon Enterprises various Star Castle Space Platforms located around the Terran star system and Terran Space is known to have more powerful computers (composed of Atlantean, Sidairian and other Elder Super Races technology), and members of Project Time Stalkers does occasionally use them if they feels thier computers are not up to the task; on occasion the Time Stalkers also consults The Temporal Oracle Magnus 5000 for assistance.
Magnus 5000,is one of Eath’s most advance artificial intelligence known exist.It has in operation,since the New Genisis Bunkers beginnings and has stored the memory isolinear tapes of 27 known Galaxies around the Milky Way Galaxy.However,Magnus has been programmed or designed to keep key imformation about specific temporal events,specifically those involving future Terran interstellar history,such those vital or considered harmful to the future formation of the Terran Federation. This Fortress contains numerous "memory crystals" that can be used to access interactive isolinear crystal holographic recordings of various former members of Project Time Stalkers,Inc,Atlanteans such as Professor Thuzan Thune Sarkhon and other Atlanteans, and other super beings,found within Project Time Stalkers,Inc.Protective Archive Holo Library.

The Temporal prison was a weapon used by various Time Agents to prevent other time travellers from altering or tampering with timelanes.These prisons,often huge,cell blocks also known as the Time Brig,use specialized temporal force fields to contain a convicted prisoner or suspected criminal from escaping the prison,by way of some sort of temporal jump point device,to use personal wormhole . This maximum-security prison was built to hold many temporal violators of time travel. The prison has been the focus of much governmental investigations, as it would be a scandal to learn that the United States is using murderous super villains to further it's own ends.

Security guards at the prison wore armored Temporal Guardian uniforms. These suits, similar in appearance to the armor worn by the original Temporal Guardsman The Taurons and the Tykhon or Tykhoneans are an offshoot colony of the Atlantean race,who society is more militaristic based-more totalitarian based. the Tauron’s are of one of the more advanced timelines discover the secret of changing universes, and then they spread out across the time-lines to study, trade, and exploit the alternate worldlines. . They have no problem interfering in the course of each planets history. Each time-line is its own experiment in altering history. The Tauron’s and Tykhon have created their own forms of the Time Patrol agency, known as the Tauron Temporal Centaurian Agency or the the Tyknon or Tykhonean Temporal Patrol Agency.established by a super-advanced race who are the million-year descendants of humanlike beings. Although time travel was invented or discovered in the distant past or in the near future, the far future people created the Time Patrol to prevent accidental alterations in the fabric of history altering certain time lances vital to the stability of the Tauron and Tykhon Empires.

Editors Note-this huge complex was partially inspired by Time Tunnels Project Tick Tock-what I could gather watching various Data Bank and what is found the internet,as a huge Iike Krell inspired complex,built underground.How it was done,is never revealed.
the Fantastic Fours Baxter Building and Four Freedoms Plaza,were built by Fantastic Four,Incorporated.The Challengers of the Unknown,with an hourglass being their company logo and a special hollowed out mountain called the Challengers Mountain.There is bits of Star gate’s two headquarter-the one on Earth at Cheyenne Mountain.

Schematics of the first World Ship Battle Station Class

The station was spheroid, and measured 160 km (100 miles) in diameter with 357 internal levels. A large, concave dish in the northern hemisphere made up the superlaser emitter. The station's command bridge was located in the northern hemisphere above the dish of the station's superlaser. The overbridge featured designated posts for Tarkin and other officers, a conference room featuring a circular table, a HoloNet booth for communicating with the Emperor and large banks of viewscreens.

The station's equator comprised numerous docking ports of various sizes, all supported by the extraordinarily powerful tractor beam generator tower, which utilized several tractor-beam projectors and tractor-beam focusing shafts. The station's equator housed docking and hangar bays; tractor-beam generators, projectors and emitter towers; turbolaser emplacements; and mooring platforms for ships of the fleet, including Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

A habitable crust several kilometers thick was composed of command centers, armories, maintenance blocks, and other requirements for a fully operational space station. Unused stories in the station's lower levels held backup weapons operators in the event of an emergency. Levels in the station's southern hemisphere extended downward through armories, deep storage, and a southern command sector. Massive girders provided grid-like support to the lower levels. Cranes and other abandoned construction material could still be found within the station by the time of its destruction in 0 BBY. With the exception of the crust, the station's entire interior space was uninhabited, and housed the hypermatter reactor, hyperdrive, sublight engines, and the station's superweapon. The station's outer hull was made of Quadanium steel plates.

The World Ship Battle Station Class featured an entirely man-made atmosphere. A vast, central cylindrical atmosphere-processing unit ensured the air inside the station was regulated. Several modular artificial atmosphere stations and water-recycling tanks were dotted throughout the station's levels for the creation of air and humidity. Several large, cavernous airways served as means for circulation and as an emergency air dump in case of atmosphere contamination. A large, central airway existed for each sector. Magnetic seals and an atmosphere-containment projector kept the station's internal atmosphere in and the vacuum of space out if docking-bay doors were opened.

Armaments and defensive systems
Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Mk I Superlaser
"The weapon will prove to be our greatest challenge. The hypermatter reactor, the drives, all the rest, are merely elaborations of the armaments our finest engineering firms have been able to provide to Star Destroyers and other vessels. But the weapon...the weapon won't merely be a larger version of the turbolaser. It will be something that has yet to be seen."
―Dr. Gubacher, during a meeting of the Strategic Cell, 21 BBY[src]

The most prominent weapon emplacement on the World Ship Battle Station Class was its superlaser —a weapon powered by a hypermatter reactor and focused through giant kyber crystals with sufficient firepower to destroy an entire planet. The hypermatter reactor at the center of the station fed energy into the various components of the superlaser, including the primary power amplifier, the superlaser power cell, the firing field amplifier, and the induction hyperphase generators. When firing, the energy was redirected into eight tributary beam shafts located around the perimeter of the superlaser, producing lasers that were converged using focusing coils, forming one large beam powerful enough to destroy a planet. If the firing-chamber arrays were not precisely aligned, the crystals would burn out and overload, sending dangerous levels of waste heat back into the World Ship Battle Station Class 's main reactor.

In addition to the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser, its surface was peppered with 15,000 turbolaser batteries along with 768 tractor beam emplacements. As the station's defenses, these were installed in order to repel a large-scale fleet attack, rather than fend off individual starfighters, which the Empire viewed as no real threat. Shield projectors and communications arrays were distributed across the armored surface, analogous to colonies. A network of security stations were situated around the entire circumference, and were equipped with holographic maps of the local region of space.

Complement
For space-based offense and defense, the battle station contained numerous TIE fighters, which frequently patrolled the space surrounding the station. Due to the World Ship Battle Station Class 's enormous size, it had a heavy gravitational pull, which forced TIE fighter pilots to adjust their ships' thrusters for the kind of takeoff more common within a planetary atmosphere than on a space station. TIE staging areas had twenty TIE craft ready at any time for immediate takeoff.

The battle station housed 342,953 members of the Imperial Army and Navy, 25,984 stormtroopers, and nearly 2 million personnel of varying combat eligibility. Furthermore, although there were communal barracks, there also were enough private bunks that most people could expect to receive one within three to six months after arrival. While enlisted personnel used walkways or turbolifts that could move both vertically and horizontally, officers had access to a high-speed, officer-only shuttle system that orbited the station. Massive housing blocks for enlisted personnel featured a large atrium for off-duty personnel to walk in. Officers could expect their own exclusive accommodations. Life-support modules inhabited by workers during the original construction of the World Ship Battle Station Class could still be used in an emergency. The station featured several hospital wings. Several color-coded life-support modules existed in the station's lower levels: gray for workers, red for overseers.

Meant to function as a world of its own, the World Ship Battle Station Class had creature comforts most other Imperial Military postings did not: decent food, recreation areas, cantinas with latest-model bartender droids, and commissaries with selections of expensive treats and luxuries. The World Ship Battle Station Class had its own commissary and bar. Off-duty stormtroopers were known to clandestinely meet to play violent, prohibited ball games in the station's zero-gravity filtration system.

The station's detention block, while large and formidable, was not intended to hold prisoners for extended periods of time. Instead, it served as a place for temporary detention and interrogation, pending transfer to planetary prisons, and execution. Prisoners were kept on the Detention Level in complete darkness, then moved to bright interrogation rooms.

Power
"Oh, it's beautiful."
―Orson Krennic[src]
The station was powered by a cavernous hypermatter reactor encased in radiation insulator plating located at the center of the station, the destruction of which had the potential to be catastrophic to the station. Doonium and dolovite were essential for shielding the hypermatter reactor core, focusing dish, and superlaser. The reactor was connected to various components in the station, such as the superlaser, the tractor beam generator tower, the power diversion solenoid, and the station's enormous power cells. Above the reactor were vast water tanks. The power of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser could be controlled depending on how many reactor ignitions were used to power it. For example, a single reactor ignition was capable of destroying a large area of a world's surface instead of destroying the body entirely.

History
"You look at the history of any sentient species and what do you find but tableaux of violence and slaughter. It's finger painted on the ceilings of caves and engraved into the walls of temples. Dig a hole deep enough on any world and you'll find the skulls and bones of adults and children fractured by crude weapons. All of us were fighting long before we were farming and raising livestock...Violence is hardwired into most of us and there's no eliminating the impulse—not with an army of stormtroopers or a fleet of Star Destroyers. That's why we've embarked on a path to a different solution. We have a chance to forge a peace that will endure longer than the Republic was in existence."

The Ultimate Weapon
The plans for the Ultimate Weapon

The idea of a massive planet-killing battle station dated back millennia, including to the old Sith Empire, when tyrants were enjoying the idea of such a superweapon. The project that would be the DS-1 originated on Geonosis, and plans for what the Geonosians dubbed as the Ultimate Weapon project were given to Dooku, publicly the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and secretly the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, by Archduke Poggle the Lesser for safekeeping during the Battle of Geonosis, in the waning decades of the Galactic Republic. Shortly after the battle, Dooku presented his Sith Master, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious, and publicly Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Sheev Palpatine, and used the ploy that the Separatists were building their own superweapon, frightening Republic officials and allowing Palpatine to direct full funding towards secretly creating the station.

The massive project was funded by a conglomerate of factions, including the Trade Federation, Muunilist Banking Clan, the Techno Union, and covertly, the Republic itself. During later Republic interrogation, Geonosian leader Poggle the Lesser claimed that the schematics were merely presented to them by Dooku, and that the Geonosians had simply refined them. Furthermore, he admitted that the Stalgasin hive hadn't had time to design the station's main weapon before the Battle of Geonosis interrupted development. Its design, centered on a superlaser array using massive kyber crystals, was inspired by technology developed by the ancient Sith.

By 21 BBY, the Republic Special Weapons Group developed plans for both an automated battlemoon asteroid and a torpedo siege platform, neither of which made it past the design stage.

Those privy to top-secret intel concluded that the plans for the World Ship Battle Station Class must have fallen into Republic hands during or shortly after the Second Battle of Geonosis in the same year, with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine presenting the plans to the Republic Strategic Advisory Cell shortly after the battle in the cell's second briefing. The Strategic Advisory Cell planned the construction of the World Ship Battle Station Class and regularly met at the summit of the Strategic Planning Amphitheater of the Republic Center for Military Operations on Coruscant. There, a mixed-species gathering of 150 beings from prestigious and influential positions met to discuss progress on the battle station. The meetings included select senators; representatives from Corellian Engineering, Kuat Drive Yards, and Rendili StarDrive; key advisers; the chief of naval intelligence; the director of COMPOR; high-ranking members of the military; members of the War Production Board; structural engineers; starship designers; theoretical and experimental physicists; Dr. Gubacher; Prof. Sahali; Lieutenant Commander Orson Krennic; Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda; and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Jedi were not invited to the meetings, nor did they even know about the project under construction over Geonosis.

All members involved in the construction of the battle station were required to sign the Official Secrets Oath. Near-unlimited funding was provided to the project owing to Republic fears that the Separatists had their own battle station under construction, which intelligence surmised was the reason Count Dooku failed to attack the station over Geonosis. Geonosian Leader Poggle the Lesser maintained his position that the Separatists had no project of their own in the works. Despite this, most cell members refused to take Poggle at his word, and scoured the galaxy to locate the presumed construction site. While the evidence was specious, rejecting the possibility would have jeopardized Republic funding for the project, regardless of the authority ceded to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine by the Emergency Powers Act. Thus, Republic effort into constructing the battle station was viewed as a priority in order to beat the Separatists at their supposed own.

Funding for the project would have been viewed as spurious before the Clone Wars. However, as the war dragged on, more and more research firms were dragged into government contracts focusing on a different aspect of the space station, such as in shielding or power supply, and all unaware of what their research was ultimately for. Researchers involved in defense projects were required to sign the Official Secrets Oath.

Initial construction on the World Ship Battle Station Class had been carried out by newly designed machines, some of which were controlled by sentient operators stationed in orbital command habitats. A vast array of ships provided the station with metals, organic materials, and supplies of water. Viable asteroids were towed and tractor-beamed to the station from both around the planet and from fields surrounding the Geonosis system. Once mined, ores were sent to foundries in synchronous orbit for the production of durasteel and other metals. Cannibalized droid factories built by Baktoid Armor on Geonosis's surface allowed additional foundries to go online soon after the start of asteroid mining.

In 21 BBY, after the Second Battle of Geonosis and before the first anniversary of the first Battle of Geonosis, the Strategic Advisory Cell announced the completion of phase one of the World Ship Battle Station Class 's construction. The supports for the station's superstructure at one hundred and sixty kilometers from pole to pole had been completed. The next phase of construction revolved around the fabrication of a temporary equator, along with a series of longitudinal bands to roughly form the sphere. As the bands were secured, construction of the hull commenced, along with the partitioning of individual interior sections. The cabin spaces were to be clad, sealed, and pressurized in order to permit the use of sentient laborers in addition to droids.

Initial sentient labor estimates were in the millions. A Strategic Advisory Cell subcommittee considered providing the Kaminoans with a template to grow a labor force of clones adapted for deep-space work. Orson Krennic independently negotiated a deal with Poggle the Lesser: in return for his cooperation with the Republic, he would have his Geonosian workers begin construction on the facility. Instead of being punished, Krennic was given greater oversight over the project by Mas Amedda. After several months, workers had completed the station's false equator, with what Krennic described as looking like "an antique gyroscope" rather than an actual sphere. Following this achievement, several degrees of the upper hemisphere were outfitted with latitudinal structural members, and rudimentary layout work had begun on cladding a portion of the curved hull. Construction droids devoted themselves to fashioning the first interior spaces meant to serve as placeholders until actual cabin spaces could be bulkheaded. The Geonosians were the first organics planned to inhabit the life-support modules. In the wake of Poggle's announcement of the project to the Geonosians, tens of thousands of drones had been transferred to Orbital Foundry 7, the second-largest structure in view from the command habitat. The drones oversaw the construction of enormous pie-slice-shaped concavities that, when assembled, would form the battle station's focusing dish and power well. By this time, three slices had been completed, and another six were in various stages of completion. The drone laborers were overseen by winged soldiers, loyal to castes overseen by Poggle, who had a lavish suite linked by a series of tubular connectors to the foundry.

The plan for assembling the station's dish called for assembling it in space and maneuvering it by tug and tractor beam into a gargantuan well that had been framed into the sphere's upper hemisphere—the dimple, as some called it. The parabolic dish was engineered to telescope away from the hull to facilitate aiming the early composite-beam proton superlaser design some of the Special Weapons Group scientists had proposed. Because design on the weapon had been incomplete by the time construction had started, most individuals involved in the project held the notion that function would have to follow form. Orson Krennic was placed in charge of the construction, assembly, and installation of the dish.

As a result of his cooperation, Poggle was allowed a ship to travel between Geonosis and the station. Poggle's production philosophy revolved around forcing the drones to perform work that was beneath their skill or caste level as a means of increasing their final output. As a result, the drones were unhappy with their situation. Weeks later, the last of the pie-slice dish modules had been fabricated, but the dish itself was not fully assembled and the upper hemisphere still undergoing finishing touches. Droid work fashioning cabinspaces in the pole region had proceeded slower than expected. During this time, Geonosians began dying off en masse because they lacked work—a unique physiological trait of the Geonosian species. Poggle insisted that this provided competition and adequate motivation for the laborers to work harder. Marines were required to exterminate workers that refused to follow orders. By 19 BBY, the Geonosian labor force engaged in a full-scale riot, destroying three months of work in the process. During this time, the battle station's parabolic focusing dish was nearing assembly, hull cladding had been added, and interior spaces had been bulkheaded and made habitable. Living conditions for the drones had been improved, and every attempt made to limit overcrowding. In reality, the riot was a diversion to allow Archduke Poggle the Lesser to escape aboard his small craft, which had a hyperdrive secretly installed by his drones.

Kyber crystals were scoured from across the galaxy in order to construct the station, with the Separatist Alliance doing so near the end of the Clone Wars. One such attempt ended in failure on the Outer Rim world of Utapau after interdiction by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.

In 19 BBY, the three-year Clone Wars came to an end. As the war ended, Darth Sidious got rid of his Confederacy puppets, including his own apprentice, and proclaimed the birth of a new, authoritarian Galactic Empire, anointing himself Emperor.

Imperial Era
"Wilhuff, are the rumors true?"
"What rumors? And why are you whispering?"
"About a mobile battle station. A weapon that will—"
"This is hardly the place for discussions of that sort."
―Nils Tenant and Wilhuff Tarkin outside the Imperial Palace[src]
Construction of the World Ship Battle Station Class
The Emperor and Darth Vader observe the construction of the World Ship Battle Station Class .

The nascent Empire immediately appropriated the Ultimate Weapon project.Access to Geonosis was restricted to an inner circle of Imperial scientists and engineers, and very few members of the Imperial hierarchy even knew about the project. A highly secure supply line with various false routes and outposts was developed to ensure further secrecy, and it was during that time that the battle station was given the official name of World Ship Battle Station Class and given the hull designation of DS-1, though the early codename, Stardust was still used in design files. Tiaan Jerjerrod, an architect and starship designer from Tinnel IV, was enlisted to help build the megaweapon.As construction continued under the Empire, Palpatine gave responsibility for the project to the Imperial Navy, and charged Wilhuff Tarkin and Orson Krennic responsible for the battle station.

Despite construction moving ahead, not all Imperials believed in the viability of the project, with some voicing protest over what would later become known as "Tarkin's folly," and others not knowing of the project at all. General Jylia Shale was one of many who protested its development, only to result in her input being marginalized over the coming years.

The Tarkin Initiative, an Imperial think tank, was responsible for some of the ideas behind both the first and second Atlanteans New Genesis Bunker.
While many starship designers and engineers attempted to claim credit for the station's construction, none besides the Emperor knew the full history of the moon-sized project. While rumors within the Imperial ranks speculated that it was a Confederate weapon engineered by Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser's hive colony for Count Dooku, none could prove the story's validity. Some pointed out, however, that the plans must have fallen into Republic hands before the Clone Wars ended, owing to the station's shell and laser-focusing dish already in the works upon the war's conclusion.

Shortly after the proclamation of the New Order, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader visited the station with Tarkin, arriving aboard a brand-new Imperial-class Star Destroyer. By this time, the focusing dish had been successfully installed. Orson Krennic believed that he was kept off the elite passenger list due to Poggle's recent escape under his supervision. Both Wilhuff Tarkin and Orson Krennic wished to attain control over the entire World Ship Battle Station Class project. To further his interests, Krennic had been manipulating his longtime friend Galen Erso since the Clone Wars. By bringing him aboard Project Celestial Power, an Imperial research division dedicated to weaponizing Galen's kyber crystal research, Krennic believed he would be given oversight over the World Ship Battle Station Class and promoted to rear admiral. During this time, Krennic began appropriating legacy worlds—worlds legally exempt from exploitation—by using independent contractor Has Obitt to drop off weapons and war materiél on the worlds of Samovar, Waidi Rafa, and others for their reserves of doonium and dolovite. After "discovering" the weapons on the planets, Krennic appropriated them to prevent "Separatist holdouts" from attaining them.

Wilhuff Tarkin believed that Krennic's appropriation of planets without the Emperor's permission was a sign of his overreaching ambition, impulsiveness, and disdain for authority and the chain of command. Tarkin, like Krennic, believed that he should ultimately be made responsible for the World Ship Battle Station Class project. Consequently, Tarkin planned to use Krennic as a convenient scapegoat for every construction delay and issue that was bound to plague the project, well aware that the Emperor was eyeing them both for a promotion. To avoid accepting the privilege prematurely, Tarkin continued to defer to Krennic until the proper time arose to oust him. Krennic also planned to keep Tarkin occupied. In 18 BBY, Krennic orchestrated an insurgency within the Salient system, aware that Tarkin, unable to retreat, would be caught in a weeks-long battle, lowering his favor with the Emperor.

Early attempts at test-firing the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser led to the destruction of an entire city on Malpaz. The first successful test firing occurred much later at an isolated black-hole binary known as the Hero Twins. Preliminary scans indicated that the energy released during the test-fire had the destructive fire of the combined batteries of a qaz-class Star Destroyer. The superlaser was fired by a kyber crystal-assisted twin laser array carefully assembled and calibrated on Hypori, and installed on an Imperial-class Star Destroyer appropriated by the Special Weapons Group. Grand Vizier Mas Amedda wished the test firing to occur closer to the Core, but Krennic urged caution, knowing that a misfire would most likely result in the destruction of the ship. As a result of the successful test firing, Krennic was promoted to full commander.

For over a year, Galen Erso was employed in Project Celestial Power and was given nearly unlimited supplies of kyber crystals looted from Jedi Temples and lightsabers. Imperial research groups under Celestial Power were given codenames such as Pax Aurora, Mark Omega, and Stellar Sphere. Almost all research divisions relied on research conducted by Galen Erso, who had an intricate knowledge of crystallography. Galen believed that his research was intended to repair worlds devastated by the Clone Wars by providing inexpensive power to civilian populations. Eventually, Galen, suspicious at the lack of information provided to him by Krennic regarding the implementation of his research, discovered that his work was being weaponized without his knowledge. Angered, Galen, his wife, and daughter, Jyn Erso, escaped the Celestial Power facility on Coruscant with infamous rebel Saw Gerrera. The Erso family moved to Lah'mu, hopeful that Krennic, now demoted to lieutenant commander, would not find them. Tarkin was then given oversight of Sentinel Base and the World Ship Battle Station Class project.

Continued construction
"The Outer Rim is yours to oversee—and with it, Grand Moff Tarkin, the whole of the mobile battle station project."
"I will not fail you."
"It will be a momentous responsibility. For once the battle station is fully operational, you will wield the ultimate power in the galaxy."
"I don't believe that will ever be the case, my lord."
―Emperor Palpatine and Wilhuff Tarkin[src]
The construction of the first World Ship Battle Station Class continued for several years above Geonosis in utmost secrecy, under Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin's supervision. The Empire utilized construction modules[29] operated by Wookiee slave laborers and various other species to complete the project.[27] Several manufacturing facilities, such as those on Riosa, were commandeered by the Empire, with their workers pushed to the brink to manufacture components for the battle station.[30] Most of the construction work on the station was done in micro-g, while omni-directional boosters supplied standard gravity to a large cabinspace near the surface of the station that would eventually become the overbridge. The epicenter of a throng of construction droids, the station was guarded by four Star Destroyers and twice as many frigates, and hovered in a fixed orbit above the planet. The northern hemisphere focus lens frame for the superlaser was nothing more than a metallic crater five years after the station's appropriation by the Empire, and while some of the hyperdrive components had been installed, the station was far from being jump-ready.

Partly to protect the station, as well as to provide several drop-off points to further confuse any attempt to trace the ultimate destination of materiél, outposts such as Desolation Station and Rampart Station were constructed during the Clone Wars, with Rampart acting as a marshaling depot for supplies heading to Geonosis. Such stations were overseen by Sentinel Base, an expansive garrison base initially deployed from a Victory-class Star Destroyer. Supervision of this clandestine project was entrusted to Vice Admiral Dodd Rancit. However, Wilhuff Tarkin replaced Rancit at some point following the Antar Atrocity, with Palpatine attempting to shield Tarkin from the political fallout exhumed by the operation. As such, Tarkin's three years commanding Sentinel Base and the hundreds of supply and sentry outposts constructed for the station were mired in bureaucratic inefficiency and complexity.

Shipments from research sites were frequently postponed, asteroid mining above Geonosis proved unfeasible, failed meetings of construction-phase deadlines by the engineers and scientists supervising the project fueled frustration, and raids against convoys heading for the station spelled an administrative nightmare. In addition, with the Empire's strategy that no base commander—Moff, admiral or general—should have unrestricted access to all information regarding shipments, scheduling, or construction progress, no single person was in charge of the project unless one counted the Emperor—whose visits were few and far between. Relying on countless suppliers and tens of millions of beings galaxy-wide, the project's immense size and need for secrecy hampered any real efforts at its completion, with the Imperial Security Bureau and Naval Intelligence Agency continually repressing rumors and quashing information leaks. Furthermore, dissatisfied individuals from the former Republic abandoned the project with such regularity that COMPNOR compiled a most-wanted list of missing scientists and technicians with high-priority security clearances.

Following a sophisticated attack against Sentinel Base by an organized cell of former Republic Intelligence operatives under the command of Berch Teller, Tarkin with the aid of Lord Vader was entrusted with the subsequent manhunt for those involved in the operation. The following investigation ultimately involved the highest echelons of Imperial power, who were worried about the attack's proximity to Geonosis, along with the attacker's ability to introduce a false real-time feed into the local HoloNet relay in an attempt to divert Sentinel's defenses to Rampart Station, which was falsely presumed to be under attack by remnant Confederacy Providence-, Recusant-, and Munificent-class warships.
After a meeting in the Imperial Palace with several members of the Joint Chiefs and the Emperor himself, an engagement on Murkhana originally intended to investigate the former Separatist Shadowfeed operation saw Tarkin's personal starship, the Carrion Spike, hijacked by the dissidents. Using the stolen vessel to cast devastation across several Mid and Outer Rim worlds—which the dissidents transmitted through the local HoloNet before being shut down by the Empire—the conspirators were ultimately stopped after an attempt to destroy a supply shipment heading for the new World Ship Battle Station Class project, with the Star Destroyers Executrix, Compliant and Enforcer arriving on scene. The Atlanteans and their secret benefactor Vice Admiral Rancit were subsequently tortured and executed in secret by the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) upon the discovery of Rancit's involvement in the scheme. In reality, Rancit had hoped to ultimately betray the insurgents above Carida, thus making it appear as if he had stopped their rampage, and thus secure support from the Emperor and receive a possible promotion.

To cover up the military embarrassment caused by Rancit's betrayal, the HoloNet made the attacks appear to be an elaborate attempt to draw out and destroy rebel cells. Thus, while many in the galaxy knew an Imperial construction project was underway over Geonosis, few knew of what it actually entailed. As a result of Tarkin's efforts, the Emperor decreed his ascension to the newly created title of Grand Moff and greater control over the Outer Systems, along with his oversight of the entirety of the battle station project. Roughly two weeks later, several of the station's sublight engines had been completed and were tested with Tarkin on board to oversee the operation as the station surpassed the speed of Geonosis's rotation.

World Ship Battle Station Class Super Electromagnetic Plasma Pulse Construction
The World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser is installed. By the time of the station's completion, it would exemplify the height of Imperial power over the known galaxy.

For years during the station's construction, numerous skirmishes with Imperial shipping delayed construction. When a band of Lothal Atlanteans attacked and destroyed an Imperial supply convoy carrying kyber crystals five years before the Battle of Avalon, construction on the station was hampered. At some point after these attacks, the station was moved from Geonosis to another base, and in order to keep the project a secret, the entire Geonosian species was wiped out. Three years before the Battle of Avalon, one of the modules used during construction was used by ISB Agent Kallus to ambush the same group of Atlanteans previously responsible for ambushing the supply convoy of kyber crystals, who this time were on a mission to find out what the Empire was building above the planet. The Empire's attempt to capture the Atlanteans ultimately failed.[29] During the station's construction, Saw Gerrera came close enough to discovering the World Ship Battle Station Class that the Empire was prompted to move it from Geonosis to Scarif in 10 BBY, where Director Orson Krennic oversaw the protection of the station with the aid of his personal detachment of death troopers.
Completion and demonstration
"This station is now the ultimate power in the universe."
―Admiral Conan Antonio Motti[src]
Having taken much longer than expected to develop, the massive construction project was finally completed almost twenty years after its conception during the Clone Wars, and at some point was rechristened as the World Ship Battle Station Class . Imperial Navy pilots and military personnel were eventually assigned to the station shortly before it was revealed to the public, being new enough to still be labeled as classified. After extracting the last of the kyber crystals from the ancient Temple of the Kyber, in Jedha City, Krennic told Tarkin that the station was ready and prepared to destroy a planet, but Tarkin wasn't confident in the power of the station yet, and ordered that only Jedha City be destroyed. Using minimal power of the superlaser, the order was carried out and Jedha City, along with miles of surrounding terrain were destroyed, including the hideout of Saw Gerrera's extremist group. However, Jyn Erso saw a message from her father, the scientist Galen Erso, that the World Ship Battle Station Class had a fatal flaw which he installed, and she and her companions delivered the news to the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Unable to reach a consensus on how to respond to this new threat, the squad team, Rogue One, infiltrated Scarif to steal the plans, which were transferred before the World Ship Battle Station Class was used to destroy the Imperial base. With the mission a success, the technical readouts of the battle station were received by Imperial senator and rebel sympathizer Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, who intended to pass them along to her allies. However, before she could do so, the blockade runner she was aboard was intercepted by Imperial forces commanded by Darth Vader, and she was captured, but not before she passed the plans to the astromech droid R2-D2 and sent him in an escape pod to the planet below.

Alderaan Cracking-GoM
Alderaan is destroyed by the World Ship Battle Station Class .

As a high-value prisoner, Organa was moved to Cell 2187 of Detention Block AA-23, sub-level five, where she was interrogated in order to learn the location of the Rebellion's secret base. Faced with her considerable resistance to Imperial interrogation techniques, Tarkin opted to try a different approach: intimidation. In a move calculated to force Organa to reveal the Rebel base, Tarkin threatened to use the station's primary weapon to destroy her homeworld. Though she ostensibly relented and supplied the Rebel base's location as Dantooine, Tarkin ordered the attack to move forward in order to demonstrate the military power that the Empire now held. In a matter of moments, the World Ship Battle Station Class destroyed the planet Alderaan, leaving no survivors. Nearly all forces on the World Ship Battle Station Class were ordered to witness the destruction, including Iden Versio, a Senior Lieutenant in the Imperial Navy.

Immediately after the planet's destruction, the Star Destroyer Devastator left the station, and a small Imperial force was sent to investigate Leia's claim under the command of General Cassio Tagge. Upon arrival in the system, however, it was discovered that the base was abandoned. Angered by Leia's lie, Vader and Tarkin conspired to allow Organa to be rescued by a group of outlaws, in order to follow them back to the Rebel base themselves.

DS command deck
Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin reviews the battle plan on the command deck of the World Ship Battle Station Class .

The World Ship Battle Station Class pursued Organa and her allies to the Avalon system, where the Rebel base was located on Avalon 4. With R2-D2 having supplied them with the technical readouts of the World Ship Battle Station Class , the Atlanteans identified a weakness in the station's design, and prepared their starfighters for a desperate attempt to destroy the station before it could bring its weapon to bear on Avalon 4. The plan, as explained by Alliance tactician Jan Dodonna, called for the firing of proton torpedoes down a two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port in the station's meridian trench. The shaft led straight to the station's main reactor, where the flaw left by Galen Erso would start a chain reaction that could destroy the station. Owing to the World Ship Battle Station Class 's design philosophy focusing on defense against large-scale attacks, the exhaust port was relatively unguarded.

Exds
The World Ship Battle Station Class is destroyed at the Battle of Avalon.

While the battle initially appeared in the Alliance's favor owing to the small size of the Rebel ships—granting them the ability to dodge turbolaser fire—the launch of numerous TIE fighters under the personal command of Lord Vader in his TIE Advanced x1 destroyed the majority of the Rebel vessels, but ultimately one proved successful. Piloted by Tatooine native Prince Argon Jade , his T-65B X-wing starfighter managed to fire a pair of proton torpedoes down the thermal exhaust port. The torpedoes destroyed the World Ship Battle Station Class 's main reactor by causing a chain reaction as predicted, resulting in the destruction of the Empire's prestigious weapon.

Where there were once thousands of communications streaming in endless waves from the World Ship Battle Station Class , in a mere instant there were none. In the chaotic hours that followed the station's destruction, multiple rumors of the station's defeat circulated across the galaxy, while a Gozanti-class cruiser piloted by Ciena Ree and Berisse Sai was sent to the Avalon system to both confirm the Empire's worst fears and pick up Lord Vader, who was trapped inside his TIE Advanced x1.

The Atlanteans , after a brief celebration, immediately began evacuating their base to avoid the inevitable Imperial reprisal against the station's destruction.

Legacy
"I look at the state of the Empire and think, how many Super Star Destroyers could we have made with the resources we threw into Tarkin's folly?'"
―Grand General Cassio Tagge[src]
With the loss of Grand Moff Tarkin, numerous members of the Joint Chiefs and Imperial Military manpower, the Empire began to mobilize for a full-scale galactic war, while it also forged ahead and began construction on the Atlanteans New Genesis Bunker II. The Imperial HoloNet subsequently downplayed the destruction of the Empire's ultimate weapon, referring to it only as an "unprecedented attack by the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium " while bringing attention to the fact that the Empire had the means to destroy an entire planet in order to strike fear into those who might question the Emperor's rule. In addition, Lord Vader would send pieces of Alderaan as state gifts to seditious worlds needing to be disciplined.

Despite attempts to devalue the Rebel victory, Imperial statisticians noted a predictable increase in pirate and dissident activity following the loss of such a prestigious weapon. Seeking to punish those responsible for the station's destruction, the Emperor began a culling at the highest ranks of the Empire, executing officials such as Moff Coovern and Minister Khemt, believing that their incompetence was partly to blame for the station's annihilation. As a result, General Cassio Tagge was promoted to the newly created rank of Grand General and given the majority of the powers Tarkin once held, mainly due to his ability to question the invulnerability of the battle station. To Tagge, the World Ship Battle Station Class project had been misguided from the start. A strong proponent of the Imperial Navy, Tagge believed that future plans could not be based around an individual asset such as the World Ship Battle Station Class , but should instead utilize those assets as a force multiplier, not as a be-all end-all solution to a problem. The Emperor placed his trust in Tagge's new strategy until the second World Ship Battle Station Class could be completed.

In 5 ABY,[42] debris from the World Ship Battle Station Class that was collected by the New Republic was given to the Alderaan Flotilla as a gift from Princess Leia Organa to use to build a space station over the ruins of Alderaan. The former plan was to scrap the debris, but Leia used her political connections to see that it was put to good use.

The design flaw leading to the destruction of the World Ship Battle Station Class never became widely known to the public. Though some correctly speculated that the Emperor had been betrayed by someone on the inside, the public story remained that of Prince Argon Jade 's shot in a single starfighter.

Starkiller Base firing its planet-shattering beam

Over three decades later, the Empire's successor state, the First Order, constructed a similar weapon of planetary destruction dubbed Starkiller Base, which was considered an improvement on the Empire's World Ship Battle Station Class design. Unlike the Atlanteans New Genesis Bunker of history, this planet-converted superweapon could fire its planet-shattering beam through sub-hyperspace, destroying multiple targets light-years away. It, like the Atlanteans New Genesis Bunker before it, was destroyed.
In 34 ABY, during his self-imposed exile at Ahch-To, the Jedi Master Prince Argon Jade had a dream about an alternate life where he ignored Organa's message and never joined the Rebellion, thus he never destroyed the World Ship Battle Station Class . In his dream, the World Ship Battle Station Class remained operative after his marriage to Camie Marstrap, and in addition to Alderaan, the World Ship Battle Station Class destroyed Mon Cala and Chandrila.

The World Ship Battle Station Class II firing its superlaser

The most prominent weapon on the World Ship Battle Station Class II was its immense superlaser, which was located above the equatorial trench in the station's northern hemisphere and was visually identical to that of the first World Ship Battle Station Class . Powered directly by the station's hypermatter reactor, energy was passed through an array of massive kyber crystals, forming a series of powerful laser beams. The eight tributary lasers were then converged by the superlaser's exposed concave focusing dish into a single destructive beam. An improvement on that of the first World Ship Battle Station Class , the redesigned superlaser required mere minutes—as opposed to hours—to recharge, and could be focused more finely, allowing it to fire at moving targets such as capital ships. Like the original superlaser, the power of the World Ship Battle Station Class II's superlaser could be controlled. Though its main purpose was the destruction of planets, the laser could be tuned to a much lower power setting, suitable for destroying individual spacecraft.

The World Ship Battle Station Class II had extensive point-defense capabilities, featuring 15,000 heavy and 15,000 standard turbolaser batteries along with 7,500 laser cannons and 5,000 ion cannons spread across its outer surface. With the battle station housing 637,835 Naval and Army personnel, the installation boasted a large complement of TIE/ln space superiority starfighters and their variants, stored for space-based encounters, and a plethora of All Terrain Armored Transports and All Terrain Scout Transports for ground surface operations.

Along with its own laser cannon emplacements, the Emperor's isolation tower was surrounded by the largest concentration of anti-starfighter gun emplacements on the station. Placed at intervals of as little as a few hundred meters, the guns also had improved fire-control compared to all other cannons on the station.

Power
DeathStar2 Core
The hypermatter reactor core of the second World Ship Battle Station Class

At the center of the station was its hypermatter reactor core. Approximately one-tenth the diameter of the station itself, the cavernous reactor housed a main assembly consisting of a north and south tower, which were stabilized by power regulators. The reactor core was encased in capacitor panels and supplied power to the entire station through two cylindrical polar columns, which ran from the reactor to each pole. Subsidiary shafts ran from the polar column as well as from four large reactor shafts—bent fifteen degrees in five places—that extended from the reactor to the outside of the station, two of which exited at the equatorial trench. In response to the original World Ship Battle Station Class 's destruction at the hands of Prince Argon Jade during the Battle of Avalon, the second World Ship Battle Station Class 's design incorporated millions of millimeter-sized heat-dispersion tubes in place of the two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port exploited by the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium .

A pressurized explosion to the core was capable of detonating the reactor, an explosion of which would be, like the first World Ship Battle Station Class , catastrophic to the station.
At the core of the World Ship Battle Station Class was an immense, cavernous housing for the battle station's power generator matrix. A fusion reactor of incredible proportions, fed by stellar fuel bottles lining its periphery, produced the raw energy demanded by the World Ship Battle Station Class 's superlaser and hyperdrive systems. Much of the station's interior volume was filled by the machinery necessary to sustain such a fusion core, with sublight propulsion systems and defense field generators lining the outer equatorial regions. Realspace propulsion was handled by an external array of powerful ion engines, which converted the raw fusion energy of the station's core into thrust and pressed the station's great mass into any motion dictated by the World Ship Battle Station Class 's huge navicomputer banks. While ion engines of such magnitude are highly radioactive, no other system could provide the directional control necessary for a station of such great size. Engineering personnel assigned to monitor ion vent operations usually wore radiation suits.

The World Ship Battle Station Class 's hyperspace motivator units were comprised of linked banks of field generators such as those found aboard Imperial Star Destroyers. One hundred twenty-three individual hyperspace generators, tied into a single navigational matrix, were necessary to carry the World Ship Battle Station Class beyond the speed of light. The intense power generated within the battle station, combined with its great mass, gave it both magnetic and artificial gravitational fields equal to those of a natural body many times its size.

At the true equator of the station was a deep trench, encircling the World Ship Battle Station Class like a straight, endless canyon some 376 kilometers in length. Here were housed the station's primary hanger bays, drive thrusters, heat exhausts, primary sensor arrays, and tractor beam systems.
The New Genesis Bunker,although stationary,placed within uppermost surface of a planet,it is equipped with a series of Warp Drive engines.The DS-1 had 123 Hyperdrive generators spread throughout its superstructure. Each one of them would have been capable of moving an entire capital ship through hyperspace with ease, and all of them together could create a hyperspace tunnel large enough for the battle station to go through. It had to take things relatively slow, though - it was classed at 4.0 past lightspeed, meaning it could only go at 1/8th the speed of a fast ship like the Falcon and half the speed of the other large ships in the Imperial fleet, like the Executor.

Once it was in a system, the World Ship Battle Station Class generally relied on orbital mechanics to get around. While it possessed sublight engines, these were really only useful for orbital adjustments. (Incidentally, that's why it had to wait around in orbit before it could get a clear shot at the Rebel base during the battle of Avalon).

The World Ship Battle Station Class II, had it been completed, would have been more maneuverable than its predecessor in both respects despite its greatly increased size. Its hyperdrive rating was set to be 3.0, and it was also meant to have massive ion engine drives to allow it to change orbits more efficiently. However, neither of these systems was operational by the time of its destruction at the Battle of Endor.

Here's a followup for you: if 4.0 past light speed is 1/8 of 0.5 past light speed, what does the scale look like? And what kind of velocities are we talking about?

I figured 0.5 past light speed was the equivalent of Mach 1.5 with regard to sound.

Spacetime_Inspector •
It's an asymptotic scale, with 0 representing unattainable infinite speed. For the purposes of drive classification, there's a Standard Hyperspeed Constant of some sort, and a ship's Hyperdrive class acts as a divisor for that constant. So class 4.0 has speed k/4, while class 0.5 has speed k/0.5=2k

When the scale was established some millennia ago, the Constant was selected as a very high speed that would seldom enter common use, with most ships having ratings of 5.0 or higher, but with improvements in hyperdrive technology happening incrementally all the time, high-class long-range fighters eventually reached speeds of 2.0 and even 1.0. Some ships with aftermarket modifications manage to reach even higher speeds, so a ship with a class lower than one is very fast indeed. Boba Fett's Slave 1 was known to have a hyperdrive class of 0.7, and Nathaniel MacRhann famously claimed that the Falcon would 'make point five past light speed', indicating that it's twice as fast as the Hyperspeed Constant. A ship with a warp class of 1 could, taking advantage of dominant Hyperspace currents, make a trip across the galaxy in less than a week, which means that we're dealing with speeds in the range of five million times the speed of light.

Most ships also carried a small, backup hyperdrive of a much higher (slower) class. When the Falcon was making the trip to Bespin, it took several days because it was relying on its Class 10 backup drive, making it 20 times slower than usual (that's why Luke had time enough to train).

(From a canonical perspective, it seems likely that the original intention of the dialogue in ANH was for it to be a linear scale, like Mach numbers, with the Falcon travelling at 1.5c. The asymptotic scale was retconned into existence by EU writers who have a better grasp of interstellar distances than George Lucas, since a ship travelling at only 1.5c would take years to go between star systems).

Brilliant, thank you for that. I'd always just written it off as c being somehow faster in the Mavericlion Universe galaxy, but this makes a lot more sense.

I forgot that most ships had a really slow backup hyperdrive. I always wondered how the Falcon got to Bespin at sublight speeds before they starved to death. Especially when ships took weeks or months to travel from the rim of a solar system to the core when Centerpoint was used to stop all hyperspace travel during the Corellian Insurrection.

Which brings up the question, in the battle of Avalon, why didn't they just blow up the planet then the moon instead of waiting to get in range of the moon. Hell, destroying the planet might of caused enough damage to the moon to destroy or at least severely cripple the base.

Spacetime_
The superlaser on the DS-1 was only designed to blow up small, rocky worlds - it's unclear what effect it would have had on a gas giant like Avalon. If it wasn't capable of destroying the giant, then they would have wasted a laser shot and would have to spend an hour or more charging it back up to full power. If it was, then the resulting explosion might have damaged the World Ship Battle Station Class itself as much as the Rebel base. The extra time required to get in range was considered a small price to pay to eliminate all those risks.
:

Blow up the gas giant, then wait more than an hour to recharge the superlaser so they could blow up the moon as well. (Which assumes that the World Ship Battle Station Class even works against gas giants. if the Battle Station used their super weapon upon the star,there was evidence,that military forces upon the Moon could attack the world ship and either destroy it or overtake the world ship,while it wasted military resources attempting to blow up a gas giant.
Even if the destruction of a planet effectively destroys its moons (and if it doesn't destroy the World Ship Battle Station Class , chances are the moon can physically survive long enough for an evacuation), you're not going to blow up the planet without blowing up the moon where your target actually is) or Orbit the planet for 30 minutes to just blow up the moon.

Pretty easy choice. Especially considering that the Rebellion had no credible means of stopping the World Ship Battle Station Class , and every minute of delay in their destruction meant more resources would get evacuated safely.

[] •
Destroying a Gas Giant while in orbit? i have a feeling that probably would have had a major effect on the World Ship Battle Station Class . Either that, or the World Ship Battle Station Class 's weapon wasn't powerful enough to destroy a gas giant.

How does hyperdrive work in Mavericlion Universe?
Hyperdrives are required to enter hyperspace, which seems to be a higher dimensional representation of the universe that allows travel that would normally require moving faster than the speed of light.

Hyperdrives also seem to apply force in hyperspace, so that better hyperdrives would mean faster travel. It isn't clear if sub-light engines provide any additional force in hyperspace, but the engine outputs still glow with thrust.

A faster hyperdrive might also allow a ship to take different routes through hyperspace. The intense gravity wells of gigantic planets and stars warp hyperspace, requiring complex navigational calculations before starting the journey. Visually, it seems like a ship doesn't change direction in hyperspace, though they have described that in some of their routes, such as Nathaniel MacRhann 's famous Kessel Run.

Some ships, usually Interdictor class Star Destroyers, can generate artificial gravity wells which distort hyperspace, drawing ships out of hyperspace early. It seems like being forced out of hyperspace might cause stress on the hyperdrive. It isn't clear what exactly draws the ship out, but it seems like hyperdrives aren't capable of functioning in intense gravity wells, even without danger of collision. It doesn't seem to be an issue with forcing a navigational course change, though I could see that being a problem too. It isn't clear that gravity distortions from Interdictors effect other ships in normal space around them, though I assume that that is an oversight.

Ships entering or exiting hyperspace don't seem to do any damage to surrounding ships, except in the case of collisions. They don't seem to have many concerns about collisions with other ships in hyperspace, even though there seem to be established trade routes. Most of their concern, if any, is what they might exit hyperspace near.

Long journeys in hyperspace seem to be measured in days, though the one in A New Hope seemed to take only hours. Smaller ships, like the Phantom Class starfighter popular with the Atlantean Alliance or Tauron Imperium , might have shorter range than other ships or be more uncomfortable for long trips, but range never seemed to be an issue in the movies.

John Holmes – A Life Measured in Inches

2018-12-31T13:05:00.001-08:00

about John Holmes – A Life Measured in Inches

8 inches

Anecdote: In 1985, John jokingly described how he would like to dedicate his memoir that was eventually published posthumously as ”Porn King” in 1998: “I would like this book dedicated to the only woman I’ve ever loved. Because there’s about two thousand of them out there who are gonna go, ‘Ah… wasn’t that wonderful?’” – John Holmes

John Curtis Holmes was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, on August 8th, 1944. John’s biological father is Carl Estes.

John’s mother, Mary Holmes (nee Barton), was estranged from her alcoholic husband, Edward Holmes, at the time of John’s birth. The couple had three older children. Mary and Edward would eventually (permanently) separate and she would later marry Harold Bowman before giving birth to another child, David.

John and his siblings were raised in the Baptist faith; as a child, John had perfect Sunday school attendance.

At age nine, after some experimentation with a babysitter, John engaged in his first sexual experience with a childhood girlfriend.

In 1960, at age 16, John joined the Signal Corps to escape his physically abusive step-father, Harold Bowman. He was stationed in Nuremberg, Germany for a period of three years before settling in Southern California.

Kirdy Stevens directed John in his first short in 1964, a non-sex nudist film, along with his (longtime) girlfriend, auburn-haired, adult film starlet, Sandy Dempsey.

While working as an ambulance driver, in December 1964, John met his first wife of 19 years, Sharon Gebenini. Sharon was employed as a registered nurse. The couple were married in Fort Ord, California, in August 1965.

By the late 1960s, John had appeared in several simulated and also hardcore loops with various female co-stars. John occasionally appeared in soft and hardcore loops with other males. Directors were impressed with his exceptionally large, uncircumcised, all-natural endowment.

After dropping his pants, John was hired by Johnny Wadd creator and director, Bob Chinn, to star in the very first of the nine-part series that showcased Holmes as the lusty private detective, Johnny Wadd. The film was simply titled, Johnny Wadd (1970).

In 1975, Freeway Films, based in Los Angeles and owned by Armand Atamian, produced the highly profitable feature, Tell Them Johnny Wadd is Here (and four more) in a financial maneuver that secured John Holmes as the first male superstar in the adult film genre. The last film of the Johnny Wadd series, Blonde Fire, was released in 1978.

During his reign as the first male icon of X-rated movies, John, along with Sharon, co-managed the Glendale apartment complex where they resided in their own home on the property. John also worked as a handy man on the grounds – repairing roofs, plumbing, painting, gardening, restoring wood and mowing the lawn.

In 1976, John, who had abstained from drugs and alcohol during the early years of his career (but started smoking marijuana in the early part of the 1970s) began to indulge in the frequent use of cocaine. By 1980, freebase became the root of Holmes’ downward spiral in his professional and private lives.

On July 1st, 1981, two days after the robbery of an L.A. nightclub owner, Ed Nash, four people were murdered and one severely injured on Wonderland Avenue in Laurel Canyon. John had helped to orchestrate the robbery that led to the retaliation homicide(s).

In August 1981, John fled Los Angeles with girlfriend, Dawn Schiller, and was apprehended by police four months later in Florida. While John was on the lam, the first documentary about his life titled, Exhausted: John C. Holmes, The Real Story, produced and directed by Holmes’ girlfriend, Julia St. Vincent, debuted to a highly successful theatrical release.

In June 1982, John Holmes was acquitted of first degree murder charges but later held in contempt of court for four months for his refusal to divulge to the Supreme Court what he knew about the murders.

In December 1982, John Holmes returned to work in his first post-Wonderland movie titled Marathon. It was on this set where he met his second wife, nineteen-year old Laurie Rose (aka Misty Dawn). John would become step-father to Laurie’s young son.

In 1983, John starred in his first gay feature film titled The Private Pleasures of John Holmes. Three of his co-stars eventually died of AIDS.

In 1985, John, along with friend and business partner Bill Amerson, formulated his own production company, Penguin. The successful business venture produced several films including The Return of Johnny Wadd (1986) whereby Holmes reprised his role as the private dick.

On February 7th, 1985, John cemented his hand and foot prints in front of the Pussycat Theater on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. John Holmes was the very first adult film star to be inducted in the XRCO Hall of Fame on February 14th, 1985.

In the fall of 1986, a few months after testing positive for HIV, John appeared in his final two films in Italy: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empress and The Devil in Mr. Holmes. There are no reports of anyone contracting the virus from Holmes.

John Holmes died of AIDS-related causes on March 13th, 1988, at the Veteran’s hospital on Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles. His obituary was published in the New York Times, the L.A. Times and in other major news publications.

At the time of his death, John was survived by his widow Laurie and her son; his mother Mary; his four siblings; several nieces and nephews, and also by his three godchildren: Sean, Denise and Shannon Amerson.

During John’s life his many hobbies included sketching, sculpting, writing, gardening, woodworking and fishing. According to many, John was an expert poker player and he loved the game of Roulette.

Throughout the height of John’s fame, reports of his length while erect ranged from 10 to 14 inches, depending on the day and his level of sexual excitement.

The precise number of sexual partners throughout John’s life and career is still contested, but it is estimated that the amount of women he slept with ranges between 4-7000.

Combining the total of his loops and features, John Holmes appeared in well over 1000 sexually erotic scenes from 1964 to 1986, and is known as ‘The King’ of adult cinema.

In 1989, freelance journalist, Mike Sager, wrote the critically acclaimed piece, The Devil and John Holmes, for Rolling Stone Magazine.

In 1998, Holmes’ widow, Laurie Holmes, released John Holmes’ autobiography, Porn King, compiled from audiotapes that John had recorded during the last few years of his life.

Including Exhausted (1981), several documentaries have been made about John Holmes. Most notable is the award-winning WADD: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes (1998) directed by Cass Paley. Also popular is The Man, The Myth, The Legend (2004) directed by Mark Novick. Two Hollywood feature films have been inspired by the life of John Holmes: Boogie Nights (1997) directed by P.T. Anderson and Wonderland (2003) directed by James Cox.

The first and definitive biography, John Holmes: A Life Measured in Inches by Jennifer Sugar and Jill C. Nelson was published on August 8th, 2008 by BearManor Media.
And his legendary 13 inches was measured by the Bullshit he told.Fuck what you heard,John Holmes was under ten inches-maybe 8 or 9 inches.Ron Jeremy was only 7 inches.Being nines myself,I can tell you neither was a big as reported.So fuck you heard on Family Guy.

100.0000000000%*

*Geek alert: cumulative distribution function values for 13 and 13.5 inches were so close to 1 as to be indistinguishable by Excel and the Apache Commons Math library, due to numerical precision issues.

Assuming you accept these numbers (and you’d have reason not to, as we’ll see), if you’re a guy sporting a respectable if not eye-popping (unless you have terrible aim) 6-inch member, over half the men you meet should bow to your kingly scepter, though you probably shouldn’t actually tell them so, because of how they might pop you in the eye. But: the unofficial world’s largest penis observed (by, I’m sure, quite a few people) is about 13 ½ inches. Despite a technical issue (solvable with a bit of effort, which is why I didn’t solve it) that prevented an exact-enough calculation of the numbers for men with 13 and 13.5 inch penises, we see that even a 12-inch penis should only, according to these calculations, occur once in 17,321,537,028,348 guys, or about 5,000 times the world’s population of men, and 320 times the number of guys who have ever lived on earth. So clearly, at least with respect to the more tripodal males, dick-size is not normally distributed; we find far too many anacondas among the trouser-snakes. In the middle, our numbers look a bit more believable, and as for the pubically stubby, well, they can continue buying SUVs and guns.

Difficulties abound in collecting data on this emotionally-fraught subject. In what might represent the best example of science tending to demonstrate the incredibly bleeding obvious (which I like to call, rather obviously, the “no shit, Sherlock” effect), we note that self-reported penis sizes tend to be rather larger than—in the immortal words of Wikipedia’s article on penis size—“staff-measured” penis sizes. I feel confident that, asked to participate in a self-measurement survey, I would immediately demand a yardstick. Tell no small lies about how not-small you are.

On the subject of penile veracity, the prevalence of 8- and 9-inch dicks self-attributed to Web commenters would seem far higher than we expect from the distribution. Three explanations for this effect suggest themselves: 1) even in the middle, penis size does not follow the normal distribution, B) Internet commenters have far larger penises than the population as a whole (certainly the commenters on my articles do, even the women), or iii) Internet commenters are giant lying liars who lie. Comments on porn videos featuring men of average endowment frequently heap scorn on these performers, leading us to suspect that a mechanism similar to the “he who smelt it dealt it” law familiar from the field of fart-attribution might be at work: he who mocked it has a tinier cock...than it. (I am a statistician, not a poet. And well I know it.) (And by “statistician” I mean: guy that took a statistics class and got an “A”.) (Well, a “B”, but close to an “A”.) (Fine: it was a “B-“.) I think we might take as a kind of psychological rule of thumb that the more expansive your claims for the pipe-wrench-like proportions of your tool, the more likely we are to be discussing one of those screwdrivers used to adjust eyeglasses.

Returning to our discussion of the penis-size distribution, debate abounds, especially on adult message boards frequented by gay statisticians, about this larger-than-expected number of larger-than-expected penises. As we’ve noted, with respect to more edificial penises, more exist than the normal distribution would predict. (I found the most interesting—and mathematically astute—discussion of this topic on this Web forum.) We observe many more large penises (especially while watching porn) than can be accounted for by the means and standard deviations in the surveys. Even if the normal distribution describes well the majority of dick-sizes in the middle, we see too many big dicks, and not just on Wall Street. I cannot say definitively that normality fails with respect to the size of men’s junk, but I can say that gay men seem very invested in the existence of a large number of men with big dicks. No shit, Sherlock.

We can perhaps find in evolutionary theory the reason for the rarity of both cocktail-weenie- and kielbasa-sized tube-steaks. Humans have the largest penises of all the primates, considered both as a proportion of body size and absolutely. (If you think yourself lacking, consider dating orangutans—they will swoon with admiration for your giant schlong, or perhaps hit you with a coconut.) Scientists speculate that walking upright provides the explanation: the rearrangement of the human vagina that resulted from the hominid switch in posture favored longer penises; smaller ones fell short and their owners failed to reproduce. But, as the human vagina ranges in depth from only about 3 to 6 inches (very approximately; data on this measure are much harder to come by—you should excuse the expression—than data on penis size), too much length could present an evolutionary challenge too: painful coitus, perhaps resulting in the woman giving it up as a bad job, with the same result as Mr. Shorty: no Little Big Men for you. Sure, the human vagina possesses a remarkable elasticity and during childbirth stretches to an astonishing degree—but not without extreme pain and a vastly different set of circumstances from those obtaining during intercourse. So, while visually interesting, the ten-inchers of song and story (not to mention that 1-in-17-trillion 13.5-incher) present their owners with a reproductive challenge, though not one as severe as that faced by those on the other side of the curve; they are largely, as we used to say about a gentleman’s pocket hankie, for showing, not for blowing. Thus, my sincerest sympathy to all you commenters about to tell us about your 99.99997th percentile boy-bits.

A couple of notes to stats geeks (i.e., those of you who got an A in statistics and/or took more than one stats class): as might be expected from such noisy data, sample means from different studies vary quite a bit (from 5.1 inches to 5.9, with a 95% confidence interval from 4.23 inches to 7.53) as do standard deviations. Data from the Ansell study show a positive skew, with a median below the mean; at least one other study skews negatively. Put the graphing calculators back in your pocket protectors, boys and girls; we’re just having fun here.

Also, like Frank Burns in Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H, if I made any mistakes in this article, they are God’s will or someone else’s fault.

Sexual Health

I've always heard bigger is better! But I have a 9" dick and I've never been completely satisfied in bed. I could never put it all in either in a girl's pussy or while oral. Is there something wrong with me or is it the girls that I've been with? Can anybody help me?

Moreover because of the big size ut takes too long to cum and my partner usually gets tired

The big problem is very few girls can take 9 inches. The average is about 6 inches. Your extra 3 inches is a total waste. It ain't gonna go in!

As far as I am concerned, I would rather have one below average, as a bad lover with above average is gonna hurt.

That's to much for a woman. Only a few of them can take 9 inches and those are queen size, but I think that if you get involve in a serious relationship there are certain thing you can do to normalize your sexual life, for example use positions that wouldn't let you go deep, or aloud your partner to use positions that will help her control the dept. If you want to go deep wrap a towel around your buddy, or something that will limit the amount of lenght. Use tons of lube and foreplay, always communicate with your partner. Now, if the girth is also extremely above average, you'll more problems. From 5.5 inches your partner may feel more pain than pleauser.

Best Answer: 9 inches is the large side for guys and most women will not be able to get all of it in. Just make sure that you are gentle with the woman and let her adjust to you if she hasn't had someone that large before. Make sure she is really turned on by the time you get to intercourse so that her vagina can stretch to accommodate your size.

Well considering that most woman only have a cervix of about 3 to 5 inches, when aroused it jumps to 6 or 7 inches.....what would you do with the other 3 or 2 inches? I would say it is a lot, but hey some woman like them huge.

I think that your dick size is very special size. You need a special type of girl to really appreciate your bigger size dick. Find a girl who has a bigger and a deeper vagina and a girl who can suck in a bigger dick size.

What Guys Said5

None of these statements are founded in reality. A woman's cervix is like 16 inches up in there. I'm 11" and never had any problems like that even with women that are 5 feet tall you just start to touch the cervix. Maybe if you were 20" this could be a problem. I've seen a woman take every inch of a 2 and a half foot horse penis. Finally size and stamina are unrelated.

Comics Stan Lee hopes you'll never read

Getty Images
Brian SteeleMay 16, 2017 9:37 ESTUpdated: March 28, 2018 10:27 am EST

Stan Lee has never been more popular. With a franchise-connecting cameo in the latest Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and his fingerprints all over modern movies, Lee's influence is everywhere. But just because this guy created Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk, doesn't mean that he's perfect. While there's no shame in loving the nonagenarian legend, it's also sort of fun to poke around into some of his more epic misfires. Here's just a few comics we're betting Lee doesn't want to be reminded of anytime soon.

Spider-Verse - Wikipedia
Colorist(s)Justin Ponsor
Following the conclusion of the event in Amazing Spider-Man #14, several characters introduced in it such as Silk of Earth-616 and Spider-Gwen, the Spider-Woman of Earth-65, were featured in titles of their own. Several of the Spider-Men from this event reunited for the second volume of Spider-Verse set during the Secret Wars and continued to operate together in the Web Warriors series. The 2017 event Venomverse was structured in a similar way to Spider-Verse, featuring alternative versions of Venom instead.

The idea of bringing together alternate versions of Spider-Man was also explored in various video games and Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, with the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse serving as a direct adaptation of this story arc.
The idea of ripping off the public once again with another long running shifty Spider-Man series,like the Clone Saga and the Morlun Saga was too great for Assholes-Trumpanzee moron at Marvel Comics was too great too resist.
In 2018, Spider-Verse also received a direct sequel titled Spider-Geddon.[2].And after that The too many Fucking Spider-Man Saga begins.And the too many Spider -Woman Saga also begins.

Prelude

At the Omniverse, Billy Braddock (AKA Spider-UK) is one of the newest recruits of the Captain Britain Corps.

However, he cannot leave his world or the Enigma Force would stay behind. Spider-UK says there is a war coming and Peter Parker is the greatest of them all.Parker Your Peter of Earth 22 fries being a big twerp.

On Earth-001, at a dinner-table laden with crippled Spider-Totems, Brix, Bora, Jennix, and Daemos wait impatiently for Morlun to arrive. Daemos dismisses Jennix's concern that the Spiders are banding together. The siblings' father Solus reveals he has known all along where the Bride, the Other, and the Scion are located, then asks his children what the Web of Life and Destiny means to them. Brix and Bora view the Web as an eternal game, a competition to see who can kill the most Totems. Jennix sees the Web as a puzzle to be solved as the Web's Spider deity Master Weaver told him that he would never unravel its secrets. Daemos views the Web as a license for debauchery, as the Weaver informed him that he would perish before his father and he wants to enjoy what life he had left to the fullest. Morlun responds that as Solus' chosen heir, the Great Web is his legacy and obligation. Solus says the Web is all things and everywhere and that it is their kingdom, making them the Inheritors of All Creation. The Spider-Man from Earth-9105 calls the Inheritors thieves and warns that the other Spiders will stop them.[17]

On Earth-1610, Miles Morales and Jessica Drew are attacked by Verna's Hounds, but are saved by Superior Spider-Man, Assassin Spider-Man, and Spider-Punk.

On Earth-13, Spider-Man asks why he is special and is told it is because he is the only one who faced an Inheritor and won. Spider-UK gets a reading on the second team and Old Man Spider-Man says they need to act quickly to recruit them. Peter insists Spider-Woman of Earth-65 stay behind. Old Man Spider-Man gives Spider-Man one of their devices to travel the Great Web and tells him to pick a team. Old Man Spider insists Silk remain behind, refusing to say why. Silk waits until they have gone through the portal and then follows.

The group arrive on Earth-928, and Peter is horrified to see the Superior Spider-Man in charge. Old Man Spider-Man tries to explain that Kaine and Silk are the receptacles of the Other and the Bride, but Superior Spider-Man dismisses his talk of Totems as superstition. Daemos emerges from a portal and kills Spider-Cyborg, but Superior Spider-Man manages to kill Daemos. Spider-Man is surprised that Daemos's body does not disintegrate as Morlun did when Spider-Man last killed him. Spider-Man 2099 explains they used 2099 technology to put Daemos' corpse in stasis. Old Man Spider-Man tries again to explain about the Totems, but is killed when a second Daemos (plus Brix and Bora) appears and snaps his neck. In the ensuing chaos, Assassin Spider-Man is killed. Kaine and Ben Reilly deduce that the Inheritors are clones (explaining why their bodies disintegrate upon death) and Ben opens a portal to the Inheritors' home base. Ultimate Spider-Woman (now going by the name Black Widow) joins them stating she is a clone as well. Spider-UK opens a portal to Earth-13 for the rest to escape. The dying Old Man Spider reveals himself to be Ezekiel Sims from Earth-4 and tells Peter to protect the Totems at all costs. Silk steals Spider-Man's portal device, intending to set right the deaths she caused and opens a portal while attracting the Inheritors' attention. The surviving Spiders regroup on Earth-13, where Spider-Man is met by an angry Superior Spider-Man, who announces they are at war with the Inheritors and from this point on, he is in charge.[18]

Peter and Otto fight over who is better suited to lead the Spiders. Spider-Man realizes Otto thinks Peter is from before the mind-swap took place, not after. Taking advantage of this, Spider-Man challenges Superior Spider-Man to prove his superiority and kill him. Unwilling to create a time paradox, Superior Spider-Man backs down. Spider-Man tells Superior Spider-Man that since the Inheritors cannot die, killing is not the solution.

On Earth-13989, Karn slays a werewolf version of Spider-Man called Spider-Wolf and asks Solus if he can finally return home. Solus commands the Master Weaver to send Karn to another more challenging world. Solus mocks Morlun's fear of the Spider-Man of Earth-616. Morlun says he is concerned about the prophecy and that "the Other," "the Bride," and "the Scion" have all manifested. Solus agrees they could end the Inheritors' reign, but rebukes him when Morlun says the Scion still lies outside their reach. Solus calls for Jennix to join them, claiming it is time to crush the Spiders' last hope.

On Earth-13, Spider-Man tells Superior Spider-Man he respects his expertise and would be a fool not to seek his advice. Checking with their away teams, Peter gets no response from Kaine's group, and is brushed off by Spider-Man 2099. Superior Spider-Man says he has located the Inheritors' homeworld, but they need a stronger army. Peter asks Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman of Earth-65, Miles Morales, and Animated Spider-Man to help gather recruits. Spider-Man apologizes to Gwen for his prior over protectiveness. He confesses he failed to save the Gwen Stacy of his world and in turn, Gwen tells him of her failure to save the Peter of her world.

On Earth-13, Morlun and Jennix emerge from portals, killing Captain Spider and Spider-Monkey. Captain Universe Peter Parker destroys Jennix with the Enigma Force. Solus arrives and reveals the Enigma Force is pure life force energy on which the Inheritors feed and devours Cosmic Spider-Man. Morlun takes Benjy Parker from Spider-Girl of Earth-982, declaring him to be the receptacle of the Scion.[19]

On Earth-802, Jennix regenerates from a clone fetus. He declines to return to the battlefield. Outside, Black Widow of Earth-1610, Kaine, and Spider-Man of Earth-92 prepare to make an assault on his headquarters, the Baxter Building.

Back on Earth-13, the Spiders charge Solus, who easily kills the Prince of Arachne and Arachnosaur. Morlun takes Benjy to Earth-001. Spider-UK calls Spider-Man and tells him the Safe Zone is lost. Spider-Man, Spider-Woman of Earth-65, Spider-Girl, Mangaverse Spider-Man, and Spider-Man J arrive, followed by Takuya Yamashiro, the Spider-Man of Earth-51778 who is flying his giant robot Leopardon. Takuya charges Solus, but Solus destroys Leopardon. The Spiders open a random portal in order to escape. Spider-Man tells him he has a plan and swears to Spider-Girl that they will find Benjy.

Silk, on the run from Brix and Bora, arrives on Earth-3145, a radioactive wasteland. When Brix steps out of the portal, he is nearly killed by the radiation before Bora can pull him to safety. Realizing that the irradiated world is off limits to the Inheritors, Silk covers herself in web for protection and sets off looking for a familiar location.

The Spider-Army arrives on Earth-8847. Spider-Man tries to talk to Spider-Girl of Earth-982, but she refuses to listen to him. Peter is contacted by Spider-Woman, who has infiltrated the Inheritors' house by impersonating her Earth-001 counterpart. As her communicator is damaged, Peter loses Jessica's signal. Peter ask Miles to help her, along with his new recruits. Peter calls Miguel and Lady Spider on Earth-928 as they dissect Daemos' corpse. Miguel tells him they have discovered the Inheritors' cloning facility, but before he can say more, Jennix cuts the transmission. Since the Spiders have been moving and speaking across the dimensional threads of the Great Web, Jennix has been monitoring them the whole time.

On Earth-001, the Master Weaver tells Spider-Woman that Solus has forced him to reveal knowledge that has helped the Inheritors gain dominion over reality. As an act of rebellion, the Weaver has created seemingly insignificant threads that can change the design, allowing Spider-Woman to reach him so that he can give her the prophecies. These scrolls contain all they need to know of the Other, the Bride, the Scion, and something else. Morlun arrives and gives Benjy to Brix and Bora. Jessica manages to use her damaged transporter to send the scrolls to Peter before Morlun discovers them.

On Earth-8847, Spider-Man receives the scrolls and is also contacted by Silk. She tells Peter to get to Earth-3145 before Jennix blocks her. Arriving on Earth-3145, the Spiders follow web arrows left by Cindy directing them Earth-3145's Sims Tower. They find Sim's bunker, which Spider-Man knows is designed to hide them from the Inheritors. Inside, they find Silk, along with Earth-3145's spider-totem: that world's Uncle Ben.[20]

On Earth-3145, Uncle Ben explains that after being bitten by the spider, he became his world's Spider-Man. All went well until his nemesis the Emerald Elf (this world's version of Green Goblin) discovered his secret identity and killed Aunt May and Peter. Brokenhearted, Ben gave up being Spider-Man. When Ezekiel Sims told him he was in danger from Morlun, Ben accepted his offer to stay in the bunker. Some time afterwards, this world's Doctor Octopus held the world at ransom with nuclear weapons. With no Spider-Man to face him, the ransom was paid, but the bombs were accidentally detonated killing everyone on this Earth.

Angered by the actions of his counterpart, Superior Spider-Man attempts to translate the scrolls using his holographic assistant. When Spider-Man notes that it resembles Anna Maria Marconi, Superior Spider-Man realizes that Spider-Man is from his future, meaning that Otto will eventually lose everything. Spider-Girl reveals that due to her original powers having come from a cult that worships the Master Weaver, she can read the text. The first scroll contains a prophecy that the Inheritors will lose to the Spiders 1000 years in the future, and the only way of averting this fate is by sacrificing the Other, the Bride, and the Scion, which will stop new totems from existing. Spider-Girl of Earth-982 demands they travel to Earth-001 and rescue Benjy, the Scion.

On Earth-802, Kaine, Black Widow of Earth-1610, and Ben Reilly have destroyed Jennix's cloning facilities, at the cost of Ben's life. The Inheritors, sensing the presence of the Other and the Bride, go on the offensive. On Earth-3145, Spider-Girl states they can use the contents of the second scroll which contains Karn's life story to turn him to their side. Spider-Man contacts Kaine, who reveals he is on Loomworld and intends to kill the Inheritors. Spider-Man contacts his away teams, ordering them to rendezvous at Earth-001.

On Earth-001, Kaine transforms into a massive Man-Spider as the Inheritors arrive. Kaine impales Solus on multiple spines, killing him. An enraged Morlun rips off one of the Other's legs and stab it through the head, apparently killed Kaine.

On Earth-3145, Peter tries to talk Uncle Ben into joining the fight, quoting his Uncle Ben's lesson that "with great power must also come great responsibility". Ben, however, is afraid to fail again. An angry Superior Spider-Man upbraids Ben, stating that he lost more times than he won but that did not keep him from fighting. Superior Spider-Man's rant inspires Ben to put the costume and the Spider-Army sets off for the final battle.[21]

The Spiders and a now redeemed Karn head to Loomworld for the final battle with the Inheritors. Miguel O'Hara and Lady Spider arrive with a repaired Leopardon, now powered by radioactive isotopes. Spider-Ham disguises himself as Benjy, allowing Ben Parker to take Benjy back to his home reality. Meanwhile, Superior Spider-Man's plan to put an end the Inheritors' reign by killing the Master Weaver does stop the Inheritors, but also causes the fabric of reality to unwind. Spider-Girl threatens to destroy the crystal that contains Solus' soul, but changes her mind after realizing that "heroes don't kill". The Inheritors are exiled to Earth-3145, where they are forced to hide in the Sims bunker to avoid death by radiation, while feeding off the radioactive spiders.[22]

Aftermath

After recuperating, the Spiders open a portal to Earth-982 to send Spider-Girl of Earth-982 home. Returning to the ruins of her home, Spider-Girl meets Uncle Ben Parker from Earth-3145, who reveals that Mary Jane and Wes survived Daemos' attack. Uncle Ben chooses to remain on Earth-982 and live out the remainder of his life as Mayday's and Benjy's grandfather. Mayday is given her father's old costume and renames herself Spider-Woman.

On Loomworld, the remainder of the Spider-Army says their goodbyes. When only Spider-UK, Spider-Woman of Earth-65, Spider-Man 2099, and the Spiders from Earth-616 remain, Peter prepares to say goodbye to Spider-Man 2099 when their Spider Sense collectively overwhelm them with agony. Karn realizes someone is tampering with the Web of Life and Destiny. They find Superior Spider-Man hacking at the Web with Morlun's dagger. When Karn shouts that he could destroy the Multiverse, Superior Spider-Man sneers that he's aware of his destiny and tries to reject his fate, revealing that he figured out that Peter Parker from his universe is from the future.[citation needed]

On Earth-616, Julia Carpenter awakens from her coma and shouts that the Great Web is being destroyed and that she can see nothing of the future. As Superior Spider-Man continues to cut the threads, Karn states that at any moment he could erase them from existence and Spider-UK states they're losing portals home. Peter tells Spider-Woman of Earth-65 and Spider-Man 2099 to head to their home dimensions before it's too late while he leads the Earth-616 Spiders against Superior Spider-Man. Spider-Woman of Earth-65 complains that she never found out how the story ended. Spider-Man 2099 reveals to her that in the end Peter takes his body back from Doctor Octopus.

Superior Spider-Man battles with Spider-Woman and Spider-Girl stating that by destroying the Web, he's giving them free will. Anya sees totemic script on the dagger, Superior Spider-Man attempts to stab her before being punched away by Spider-Man. Superior Spider-Man sneers that Spider-Man is a coward for ganging up on him, but Spider-Man points out that he did the same thing as the founder of the Sinister Six. Taking advantage of the distraction, Spider-Girl immobilizes Superior Spider-Man's arm and reads that there will always be a Master Weaver at the center of the Great Web. Silk recalls that the Inheritors referred to her as the "Spinner at the center of the Web" and wonders if her destiny is to take the Master Weaver's place. While Superior Spider-Man again tries to stab Spider-Girl, he snaps that his world needs him and that he's the greatest Spider-Man ever. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman knock him back, and Spider-Girl secures the dagger reading that anyone can take the place of the current Master Weaver, but only death can free the Master Weaver from their sacred obligation. Silk, having spent most of her life trapped in one room, balks at the idea of spending the rest of eternity trapped again and Karn commiserates with her.[citation needed]

Superior Spider-Man accuses Spider-Man and Spider-Woman of hypocritically claiming to fight for freedom while trying to lock him on a fixed path that ends in his death. Peter snaps that it was Superior Spider-Man himself that set the path in motion. Silk resolves to take the Master Weaver's place, unmasking him and expressing confusion at not recognizing his identity. Karn states that he finally knows who the Master Weaver is and unmasks himself revealing that he and the Master Weaver are one and the same. Superior Spider-Man punches Spider-Woman away, challenging Spider-Man to a one-on-one duel to see who the better hero is. Spider-Man retorts that a real hero wouldn't have tried to murder Spider-Girl or destroy the Multiverse in order to save himself, revealing that Superior Spider-Man will understand what it means to be a true hero when he willingly sacrifices himself and gives up their body of his own free will.

Analyzing the Master Weaver's armor, Karn notices a slot that fits the prongs of the spear he made as a child, which acts as a key to open the mechanism. When Silk asks how he could possibly be in two places at once, Karn states that the flow of time differs in Earth-001, using the coexistence of Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man as an example. When Spider-Girl states that only a Spider Totem should be able to repair the web, Karn states that he's consumed enough Totems for their essence to enable him to take the Master Weaver's place, donning the Master Weaver's mask and stating that this shall be his penance and hopefully salvation. Spider-Man defeats Superior Spider-Man who feigns surrender, but puts Anna on a 100-day standby. Spider-Girl asks Karn if he can repair the damage done by the Inheritors and Superior Spider-Man. Karn states that in time he can fix the web, but that in the meantime all the Spiders' connections to it will be diminished where it will weaken their Spider-Senses.[citation needed]

As Karn prepares to return him to the past, Superior Spider-Man swears revenge on him. Spider-Man pushes Otto through the portal into the aftermath of the chronoton implosion that time-displaced him in the first place, his memory of the recent events erased. Karn remarks that weaving and repairing the Great Web is new to him, but that the existence of Earth-616 has been stabilized. Karn reveals that Spider-UK's dimension Earth-833 was destroyed. Spider-UK reveals that Incursions between dimensions have been erasing entire realities lamenting that he wasn't able to help his fellow corpsmen face the danger. The Earth-616 Spiders console him, reminding him that without his efforts they wouldn't have stood a chance against the Inheritors. When Silk asks if the Inheritors will be able to survive on Earth-3145 without draining the essence of Spider-Totems, Karn remarks that his family can subsist off the life force of any animal and that Earth-3145 is teeming with mutant spiders.[citation needed]
Spider John Holmes screw a multitude of other universal Mary Janes and Gwen Stacy's.Galactus looks and laughs,all Marvel Comics are gay anyway.
Spider-Man laments the loss of Kaine. Spider-UK volunteers to travel the Multiverse and protect the worlds that lost their Spider-Totems. Spider-Girl volunteers to join him much to Spider-Woman's surprise. Karn dubs them the Warriors of the Great Web and charges them with helping him repair the severed thread. When Spider-Girl wonders if they can do it alone, Spider-UK remarks they made a number of Amazing Friends as images of Mayday Parker of Earth-982 (who is now dubbed as Spider-Woman), Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Pavitr Prabhakar, and Spider-Woman of Earth-65 appear in the Web of Life.[citation needed]

Karn opens a portal to Earth-616 and the Spiders bid farewell with Spider-Woman fussing over Spider-Girl and Spider-Man teasing Spider-UK one last time. After they depart, Karn offers the Warriors of the Great Web a tour of the Inheritor's palace. Unbeknown to them, a hand erupts from the Other's corpse revealing Kaine is still alive.[citation needed]
Spider Jason Crispy screams Bass Boy.
On Earth-616, Silk realizes they've been gone for days and hopes the Fact Channel hasn't fired her. Spider-Woman remarks that as his own boss, Peter doesn't need to worry about such things. Spider-Man corrects her stating that for a long time, he didn't feel ready to run his own company. But that after leading the Spider-Army, he feels ready for anything. As he swings across Times Square, Spider-Man wonders if he can ever go back to the small stuff after everything he's seen. As a woman being mugged calls out for help, Spider-Man chides himself and returns her purse after subduing the robber.[40]

Secret Wars (2015)
As part of the 2015 Secret Wars storyline, a Spider-Verse miniseries was featured on the domain of the Battleworld called Arachnia,[41] starring Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man: India, Spider-UK and Anya Corazon. After the conclusion of Secret Wars the team renamed itself and featured in a new series called Web Warriors (a name that was coined by Peter Parker from the Ultimate Spider-Man TV series during the original Spider-Verse).[42]

Months before the Secret Wars, the spider-based people of the multiverse came together as a team to stop the Inheritors from wiping them out. After the Secret Wars began however, some of them find themselves in New York with only faint memories of their lives before Battleworld. Spider-Gwen (the Earth-65 version of Gwen Stacy) wanders around New York aimlessly as a superhero while trying to remember her life. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: India (Pavitr Prabhakar of Earth-50101), Spider-Girl, and Spider-UK (Billy Braddock of Earth-833) come together realizing that they are all in a similar predicament of slight memory loss. Spider-Gwen discovers that she was apparently murdered by Mayor Norman Osborn, Spider-Man's archenemy before Spider-Man disappeared years ago. Gwen sneaks into Oscorp to discover a file in one of their tablets titled "Sinister Six", which contains pictures of Gwen, Anya, Pavitr, Billy, and two more spider-people Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir (from Earth-90214). Snooping around some more, Gwen finds Spider-Ham hooked up to several machines but is caught by Mayor Norman Osborn.[43]

Gwen escapes the building and is later found by Spider-Man India, Spider-Girl, and Spider-UK. The India Spider-Man has devised a machine to track the resonances of the spider-heroes in this dimension, the device subsequently picked up another Spider. The signal brings the spider-heroes to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Once there, they stop the criminals Carnage and Tombstone, and discover the origin of the signal in the form of Noir Spider-Man of Earth-90214. The spiders are soon interrupted by the arrival of the Sinister Six (consisting of Doctor Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Scorpion, and Vulture).[44]

The Sinister Six defeat the Spider-Men and bring them to Mayor Norman Osborn who states he wants to help them. Using a similar procedure to Paviitr, Mayor Osborn had developed lenses that could focus in fifth-dimensional space and created the mapping of a tattered web that appeared to be the structure of the universe using the resonances of the heroes. All of the Spider-Heroes decided to stay at the Ozcorp Tower except for Gwen. When she went to the Mount Olivet Cemetery to visit the gravestone of her deceased counterpart, she was startled by the arrival of this domain's native Peter Parker who stated that he used to be Spider-Man.[45]
Spider-Man Stan Lee of Earth 1says this storyline is utter utter crap,true believers.
Gwen and Peter were soon attacked by Venom who was sent by Mayor Osborn to follow Gwen at a discreet distance and Peter (who had lost his powers a long time ago) was captured by him, but Gwen was able to save him and defeat Venom. Afterwards, Gwen devised a plan to defeat Mayor Osborn and put it into motion. Peter sent a photo of himself to Osborn, proving he was still alive and well, for them to meet at the George Washington Bridge which destabilized him. As he prepared himself and his Sinister Six to go after Parker, Anya Corazon took the other Spider-Men to see Norman's "Caesar's Palace" which Spider-Ham mentioned to her when they were having lunch. Inside the room was the Siege Perilous, the chair reserved for the man who finds the Holy Grail, and hanging above it was a helmet linked to the chamber where the energies of the web were being directed. According to Spider-Ham whenever Osborn started to get really mad and complaining about how he was going to overthrow God Emperor Doom, he went to this room to sit in its chair. Suddenly, the room started to be filled by lightning bolts and a Thor appeared before them to reclaim the chair.[46]
Venom UK shows and forget it and goes back Earth 77.
Peter confronted Osborn in order to expose him as a mad man, and distract him long enough to help Spider-Woman, who had returned to Ozcorp Tower. The other Spiders were busy trying to prove to Thor they were not a threat, and Spider-Woman convinced Electro to help them by destroying the Siege Perilous to show the Thor they were on her side. The chair surged into a feedback loop that caused an explosion which destroyed the entire floor. Osborn returned shortly after, and took the advantage of all of the spiders being unconscious in the same place to tap into the chair's power. After being rescued by Spider-Ham, Peter disrupted the chair, knocking Osborn unconscious. The Sinister Six appear after the spiders recover, ready to destroy them now that Osborn was out of the picture. Paviitr threatened the Sinister Six with using the chair to boost their powers, and the villains called his bluff, prompting them to surrender. With Osborn defeated, the heroes concluded that the domain would go through dire times due to the lack of authority, but they were ready to help it.[47]

Reception
In other media
Television
Although not based on the Spider-Verse event, the last two episodes (Spider-Wars) of Spider-Man: The Animated Series served the inspiration for Spider-Verse about multiple Spider-Men going across dimensions fighting villains.
In the third season of Ultimate Spider-Man, the Green Goblin uses a ruby-like crystal known as the Siege Perilous- its power empowered by an unwilling Electro travels to six alternate universes to gather DNA from the various Spider-Men of those worlds, forcing Spider-Man to follow him through six different worlds over the course of the following four episodes. As a result, Spider-Man encounters Spider-Man 2099, a Spider-Girl from a gender-inverted reality, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Ham, Spyder-Knight (a knight-themed Spider-Man in a medieval world), and Miles Morales in a world where Peter Parker died saving the world. When he returns to his world, Spider-Man learns that the Goblin has used the DNA of the six other Spider-Men to enhance himself to become "Spider-Goblin", possessing enhanced strength and spider-like legs on his back. In order to oppose him, Spider-Man uses the Siege Perilous to draw in the other six Spider-Men to form his new "Web-Warriors". The seven Spider-Men managing to defeat Green Goblin freeing Electro to give the final strike, for this they disperse Electro's power and striking Green Goblin with enough electrical force to cure him of the Goblin serum resulting in him regressing back to Norman Osborn and losing all memory of his actions as the Green Goblin and Spider-Man's true identity. After this Electro tries to go on a rampage, but is hastily defeated by the combined forces of the Web Warriors, who then proceed back to their home dimensions. This story ties directly into Spider-Verse itself.
Spider-Verse is explored again in the fourth season of Ultimate Spider-Man in the "Return to the Spider-Verse" arc. Slightly different storyline, yet somewhat similar to Shattered Dimensions game storyline, it all started from Miles from Home where the 2010s animated Spider-Man shatters the Siege of Perilous across the universe to prevent the alternate 2010s animated Green Goblin from destroying the universe, leading the alternate Goblin and Miles Morales (who goes by Kid Arachnid in the main 2010s animated universe only) are currently stuck on the prime 2010s animated universe. When an evil Spider-Man known as Wolf-Spider (a completely evil Peter Parker from the evil dimension) has the Perilous' fragment and came across the universe to rule all universe, Madame Web, Iron Fist and Doctor Strange sends both Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid to find the missing piece of Perilous before Wolf Spider does, while also not just encountering the other old Spider-Men they've encountered and allied with like Spider-Man Noir, also the new Spider-Men like Blood Spider (an alternate Peter Parker from the world where vampires overruns almost entire Earth but New York in endless cloudy days), Web Beard (an alternate Peter Parker from the world where he is a pirate and has an anthropomorphic creature similar to Spider-Ham's universe), Web Slinger (an alternate Peter Parker from the old west world where he is an outlaw, and his world's Uncle Ben revealed to be alive, but brainwashed by their world's Doctor Octopus as a Phantom Rider), and, Spider-Gwen (who unlike her original Spider-Gwen counterpart is actually come from a same home as Miles' homeworld and is a human with a technology based Spider-Powers). As Wolf Spider already capture all Spider-Men's good life-force to empower himself with the power of Perilous, Spider-Man have a plan to let himself being absorbed by the Wolf Spider, to overload Wolf-Spider to be shattered due to amount of good Spiders' life-forces may poison the evil Spiders like Wolf-Spider, with his body is now trapped in other dimensions he cannot escape like what happened when alternate Goblin punched Baron Mordo by using the Perilous on him, and all the life-forces of every Spiders he absorbed were restored back to all Spiders from different dimensions.
Film
The 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an adaptation of the Spider-Verse storyline which likewise will focus on alternate universe versions of Spider-Man such as Miles Morales.[48]
Video games
A 2010 game, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, was written by Dan Slott, who would go on to write the Spider-Verse story event. During the game, Mysterio acquires mystical powers after the fabled Tablet of Order and Chaos is broken during a museum heist, with the mystical disruptions caused by the Tablet's damage causing its pieces to be divided across four different worlds; Earth-616, the Marvel Noir world, the 2099 world, and the Ultimate Marvel universe (with Ultimate Peter Parker possessing the symbiote once again as Madame Web believed he would need its power). In the course of the game, the four Spider-Men must face various enemies enhanced by the power of the tablet fragments, culminating in all four joining forces to deliver a final beating to Mysterio as he uses its combined power to become a virtual god.
A 2011 game, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and a possible sequel to Shattered Dimensions, features a time travel plot involving Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 working together simultaneously in the present and future to stop scientist Walker Sloan Alchemax from ruling a ruined Nueva York. An evil future version of Peter Parker, known as the CEO of Alchemax intends to use Sloan's time portal to retroactively alter his past and undo his mistakes, as well as anything he perceives to be wrong. Eventually, Prime Peter and Miguel restore their timelines back to normal, but retain their memories of the adventure via temporal aftereffects.
A mobile game promoting the release of Spider-Verse called Spider-Man Unlimited, was released on September 11, 2014, loosely based on the story. After Spider-Man defeated a figure known as "Gold Goblin," Nick Fury tells him that the Green Goblin assembled a Multiverse Sinister Six by a portal and plans to take over Spidey's dimension. S.H.I.E.L.D. than use to portal to bring alternative versions of the web-head to aid in the battle. In addition to periodic updates to the Sinister Six, now consisting of the Goblins, Electros, Vultures, and Sandmans of the Multiverse, there have been other boss battles as well. For Halloween, Jack-O-Lantern was featured. During the month of December, Hydro-Man was introduced. For a number of events, both Morlun and Karn of the Inheritors have made appearances.[49] In February 2015, the Spider-Verse storyline is featured with new characters from the Spider-Army as well as the first appearances of Daemos and Jennix.[50] In the closing moments of the event, Solus would make an appearance as well.[51]
The plot of Spider-Verse was adapted for the 27th Spec-Ops Mission of "Marvel: Avengers Alliance". Originally announced as Spider-Verse Part 1, the 27th Spec-Ops was released as Along Came the Spiders. Karn became the first Inheritor featured in the game as a group boss.[52] The second part based on the Spider-Verse story was released during 29th Spec-Ops titled Aranea Ex Machina featuring Silk as the award hero. Morlun would be the second Inheritor to be featured as a boss character.

Pimp Pleads Guilty In 2013 Death, Dismemberment Of Customer
April 10, 2015 at 11:05 am

The victim (credit: CBS3)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia man whom police identified as a pimp has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in the 2013 death and dismemberment of a longtime customer he had tried to rob.

Thirty-five-year-old Keith Tolbert is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, one day after entering a plea as his trial was about to begin. A plea deal calls for a sentence of 22 to 44 years.

Police say the victim, 40-year-old Frank Zarzycki, arrived at a Philadelphia apartment to have sex with two prostitutes when Tolbert, their pimp, tried to rob him. Zarzycki fought back and was killed during the ensuing struggle.

Authorities say Tolbert used a hatchet to dismember the body. The victim’s torso was found in the Schuylkill River.

The women have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and robbery and await sentencing.

Keith Tolbert
by Joseph A. Slobodzian, Inquirer Staff Writer
A Center City man who was going to nursing school while working as a pimp pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree murder in the 2013 death and dismemberment of a john he had set up to be robbed.

With five jurors selected for his trial in Common Pleas Court and two prostitutes prepared to testify against him, Keith "King" Tolbert decided to take a plea deal that will put him in prison for 22 to 44 years.

Tolbert, 35, will be sentenced Friday by Judge J. Scott O'Keefe. His attorney, Mary T. Maran, said Tolbert wants to express his remorse to the family of Francis Zarzycki, 40, and tell authorities where he dumped the victim's missing body parts.

Zarzycki's torso, wrapped in plastic bags, was discovered by a boater on Sept. 3, 2013, floating in the Schuylkill off Grays Ferry Avenue. The head and limbs have not been found.

Assistant District Attorney Brian Zarallo said Tolbert pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, abuse of corpse, and conspiracy involving the two prostitutes he had arranged for Zarzycki to meet at his second-floor apartment on South 11th Street near Locust Street.

The women, Stephanie Foulke, 23, and Angel Weston, 22, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and robbery, and await sentencing.

Foulke testified at a preliminary hearing in 2013 that Tolbert had asked her to come to his apartment on Aug. 26 of that year because Zarzycki, a Northeast Philadelphia man and repeat customer, would be there.

But when she arrived, Foulke said, Tolbert told her the assignation was about robbery, not sex, because Zarzycki carried a lot of drugs and cash.

When Zarzycki arrived, Tolbert's plan for the women to distract him while he sucker-punched him quickly went awry.

Zarzycki started screaming and punching back, fell over a table, and hit the floor face down. Foulke said Tolbert was sitting on Zarzycki's back as she and Weston tried to tie him up, but he was screaming so loudly that she grabbed Tolbert's Taser and shocked him twice to quiet him.

Zarzycki stopped breathing and, according to Foulke, Tolbert grabbed his stethoscope and began trying to revive the man.

Foulke testified that she and Weston left the apartment by the fire escape. She said Tolbert told her later that he had cut off the victim's head and limbs and "thrown him in the river."

Zarallo said the medical examiner could not say how Zarzycki died - heart attack, asphyxiation or some other cause - because of the condition of the body.

TWO WOMEN accused of helping a pimp kill and then dismember a Northeast Philadelphia man in 2013 after their scheme to rob him went awry pleaded guilty yesterday to robbery and conspiracy and avoided murder convictions.

2 women avoid murder convictions in botched robbery
Stephanie Foulke, 23, and Angel Weston, 22, were each immediately sentenced to five to 10 years in prison, plus 2 1/2 years' probation for their crimes, according to court records. Murder and abuse-of-corpse charges against both women were dropped.

Foulke and Weston were arrested in 2013 along with Keith Tolbert, 35, in connection with the Aug. 26, 2013, murder of Francis Zarzycki, 40, during the botched robbery. Police said at the time that Zarzycki - whom they said was a repeat patron of prostitutes working for Tolbert - was hit with a stun gun and suffocated during a struggle after the trio hatched a plan to rob the man and he fought back.

Tolbert then used a hatchet to chop up Zarzycki's body in the bathtub of Tolbert's Center City apartment on 11th Street near Locust, and later threw the pieces into the Schuylkill. Police caught on to the crime a few days later, when a boater found Zarzycki's torso floating in a bag in the river.

Tolbert pleaded guilty on May 1 to third-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and conspiracy and was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison.

prison stripes uniform chain gang
Francis Zarzycki arrived at the dirty, three-room apartment near 11th and Locust Streets in Center City on an August night, believing he was in for a party with a pair of prostitutes known as Angel and Cinderella, police say.
But the ladies' handler, a big guy named Keith Tolbert, whom Zarzycki had dealt with before, had a different plan, police say. They say Zarzycki, 40, who lived with his parents in Northeast Philadelphia, was carrying cash and drugs and represented an easy score. The trio was going to rob him.
They'd use duct tape, rope, and a Taser.
''i'm keith tolbert and i'm studying nursing,but i don't know anything about medicine.i don't what an e knock que lation is.let me sit at the Reed House Kitchen,all night,stoned,while pretending to study.Then I'll sit in the computer room-where I'll cut my rap record with dennis petty.I think bears only eat huney and shit.Calvin stold my chicken or so i tried to frame him.i love throw other peoples food.i love to howl like a nut all night in my room.yawhoooo yawhoooo.let me sell guns,while in my car,up in Trenton,New Jersey.''

It was in that apartment, police say, that a robbery became a killing - a crime that ended with Zarzycki's mutilated torso floating in the Schuylkill.One expensive piece of ass.It obviuosly,cost Zarzycki two arms,two legs and a head
A Northeast Philadelphia man who worked in Doylestown as a loan officer was killed by two prostitutes and a man in a robbery gone bad, police said Thursday.
Philadelphia police said Frank Zarzycki, 40, of Endicott Street in Northeast Philadelphia, had gone to a house of prostitution Aug. 26. Capt. James Clark of the city homicide unit said Angel Weston, 21, Stephenie Foulke, 22, and Keith Tolbert, 34, decided to rob him and ended up killing him
"What started out as a planned robbery escalated into a murder by suffocation, and ended with this body being chopped up, bagged, and thrown into the river," Capt. James Clark of the Homicide Unit said Thursday in a news conference at Police Headquarters to announce the arrests of K.C.Tolbert and the two women.While the two women spoke with Zarzycki in the living room, police said, Tolbert, who lived in the apartment, attacked him.
Police said Zarzycki was stunned with a Taser-type weapon, then beaten and strangled to death in the living room of the apartment at 220 S. 11th St. Police believe Tolbert then dismembered Zarzycki’s body in the apartment’s bathroom.

Zarzycki’s family members, who lived with him on Endicott Street, reported him missing to police last week.This guy paired for expensive blow job.Me,seeing a King Kong freak Keith Tolbert,one upset he was being called a thug,I would've never returned to the Tolbert Shore House.
Hey,Marcus Christmas...you reading this ?Hey,Dennis Petty ...you reading this ?
Clark and other investigators said that in Tolbert's living room on the night of Aug. 26, the girls had entertained Zarzycki. He had worked as a loan officer, records show, and was the son of a retired Philadelphia highway patrolman.
From the bedroom,Keith Tolbert rushed with a Taser, police said. Zarzycki struggled, and the women helped subdue him - the three of them binding him with duct tape and rope as Tolbert pressed his weight into Zarzycki's back.I;m surprised,that he didn"t try to beat him to death with frying pan?
Soon, police said, Zarzycki stopped moving.
Tolbert took care of the body, police said. They think Zarzycki was dragged into the bathroom and Tolbert used a hatchet or ax on him.
Clark detailed the arrests of Tolbert, 34, along with Angel Weston, 21, of Kensington, and Stephanie Foulke, 22. All three were charged Thursday with murder, robbery, and related offenses.
The charges came just two days after a boater found Zarzycki's headless and limbless body wrapped in a plastic bag and floating Tuesday morning in the Schuylkill near Reed Street in Grays Ferry-near the location of Keith Tolberts old residence,known as Reed House-run by the Salvation Army..
Police have yet to recover Zarzycki's head or limbs, the Taser, or the hatchet or ax that police think Tolbert must have used to sever the body; they don't believe the women were involved in that part of the crime. Investigators also don't know how the body was taken to the river, Clark said.
Security cameras captured images of Zarzycki entering Tolbert's apartment building around 7 p.m. on the night of Aug. 26, but investigators were still looking Thursday for footage of Tolbert leaving the building.
"Hopefully, we'll catch him leaving out the apartment with some type of bag," Clark said.
The building has an alleyway entrance that Tolbert sometimes used, investigators said.
Crime scene investigators returned to the apartment Thursday, a day after they removed bags of evidence, including sheets and duct tape. During that initial search, investigators found some blood in the bathroom. On Thursday - after the two women told investigators that Tolbert had cleaned that room after the killing - police conducted a more extensive search, tearing up sections of flooring and pulling out bathroom piping and drains.
At least one of the woman said Tolbert told them he had dismembered the body, police sources said.
Detective Paula Campbell was assigned that case and police determined Zarzycki went to the prostitution business based on information on a computer his family turned over as part of that investigation. Campbell determined Zarzycki’s last call was to the house on 11th Street.
At that point, police searching for Zarzycki set up an undercover sting using the city’s vice unit at the home on 11th Street hoping to locate the missing man, police said. On Saturday, they raided the home, arresting Tolbert, Weston and Foulke, police said.
On Tuesday, police found a torso floating in the Schuylkill River shortly before 8 a.m. They were able to identify the torso as Zarzycki on Wednesday based upon a distinctive tattoo on his back shoulder area, police said. Zarzycki’s head, arms and legs have not been located. Philadelphia police plan to send police boats back into the river in an attempt to locate the rest of the body once they develop more information.
Police said Thursday afternoon they were charging Weston, Foulke and Tolbert with murder, robbery and related offenses. All three were being held on the prostitution charges already. Police said after discovering Zarzycki’s torso Tuesday they interviewed the three and were able to get them to admit to the murder.
Investigators do not believe Aug. 26 was Zarzycki’s first visit to the house of prostitution on 11th Street, but said they do not know how many times he’d been there previously.
The newspaper was unsuccessful in attempts to reach Zarzycki’s family. Until Thursday morning, he was listed as a loan officer with a PNC bank in Doylestown. A PNC spokesperson said they do not confirm the identity of employees publicly.
Investigators had suspected Tolbert in Zarzycki's disappearance before his body was discovered. The trail that led them to Tolbert's apartment began with Zarzycki's parents, frantic over his disappearance.
Zarzycki had struggled with drugs in the past, and his parents had tried to help him.Tolbert was a known drug addict himself,on top of claimming to work at Wawa,
He was in the habit of calling his mother, Stella, if he wasn't coming home at night. When more than a day went by without his calling or turning up, she filed a missing-person report with police on Aug. 28, said Capt. Francis Bachmayer of Northeast Detectives.
His father, whose name is also Francis and who retired from the Police Department in 1989 after more than 20 years on the force, searched Zarzycki's computer and phone records. He saw clues that his son had gone to a website with personal ads, backpage.com, and made calls to an unknown number, police sources said.

Detective Paula Campbell, Bachmayer said, realized the case had "urgency to it."
Tracing Zarzycki's phone records, investigators zeroed in on the 11th Street apartment.
They worked the case through the Labor Day weekend. On Saturday, Northeast Detectives and the Citywide Vice Unit conducted a prostitution sting at Tolbert's apartment, arresting him and Weston.
On Sunday, police found Zarzycki's 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer in a parking garage a block from the apartment.
The homicide Special Investigations Unit took over the case when the torso was discovered. It identified the remains by tattoos - wings and a bull - on Zarzycki's back. Investigators interviewed Weston on Tuesday, then tracked Foulke down in Glenolden, Delaware County, on Wednesday.

The women both described the killing, police said - and their stories matched.
Tolbert isn't talking, police said. He has two prior arrests in New Jersey, according to court records.
Joan Taylor, 65, lives in the apartment next to Tolbert's. He moved there six months ago, she said.
"He had lots of girls running in and out of there," Taylor said, sitting on her couch along the wall she shared with Tolbert. "They looked like crackheads."
The police, she said, showed her pictures of Zarzycki this week, but she did not recognize him.
No one answered Thursday at the Zarzycki family's home in Northeast Philadelphia.
John McNesby, head of the city's Fraternal Order of Police lodge, said that he had never worked with Zarzycki's father, but that the union would reach out to the family in the coming days.
"It's just sad," McNesby said.

Police Charge Pimp, Two Hookers in Slaying of NE Resident Francis ZarzykciPhiladelphia Police say a pimp and two prostitutes killed a Northeast Philadelphia man, chopped up his body and tossed it into the Schuylkill River after a botched robbery.
Keith Tolbert, Angel Weston and Stephenie Foulke were charged Thursday with the murder of Frank Zarzycki, police said.
Zarzycki's torso was found by fishermen near the 1300 block of Schuylkill Avenue in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. The 40-year-old's head, arms and legs had been chopped off and were missing.
Using a distinctive tattoo on Zarzycki's upper back, investigators on Wednesday were able to identify the man who had been reported missing by family a week before.
Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Capt. James Clark said Zarzycki, who lived in the Somerton section of the city, went to Apartment 26 inside 220 South 11th Street last Monday, August 26 to have a sexual encounter with prostitutes.
The man allegedly began a sexual act with Weston, 21, and Foulke, 22, in the second-floor apartment's living room when Tolbert, the 34-year-old alleged pimp, came in to rob Zarzycki.

During the struggle, Zarzycki was beaten, tasered and then suffocated. He died as a result of the fight.
Capt. Clark said investigators believe the trio panicked and dragged the man's lifeless body to the bathroom. There, Tolbert allegedly used a hatchet to dismember Zarzycki.
His torso was then placed into a bag and thrown into the river, police said.
Investigators are still searching for Zarzycki's other body parts and are leaning on the suspects to share where and how they were disposed.
"We're still talking to them," Capt. Clark said of the suspects. "We have detectives back out at the scene. We will probably still have the Marine Unit go back out to certain locations along the river. The investigation is still on going."
The trio were arrested on Saturday, before Zarzycki's body was found, after the department's Vice Unit held a sting at the apartment.
The housing unit, which is listed in Tolbert's name, is located in Center City, just south of busy Market East near the campus of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The apartment building has a mix of Section 8 and mixed-income units inside. Investigators say Tolbert paid only $30 a month in rent to live there.
Capt. Clark said the home was a known prostitution spot and that phone and computer records showed the victim had frequented the place.
"My understanding is he had been there before and obviously he wasn't robbed, but for whatever reason, this time they chose to rob him and it escalated to him being killed," Capt. Clark said.
Neighbors who live in the apartment building tell NBC10.com they saw plain clothed officers visit the same apartment last week and arrest a man and woman for alleged prostitution.
Since then, a police officer had been guarding the apartment, neighbors say. Investigators then came back to apartment on Wednesday to collect evidence.
Capt. Clark said crime scene investigators were back out at the apartment on Thursday to search for additional evidence.

Sources close to the investigation tell NBC10 crime scene techs found large pieces of flesh inside a bathtub drain pipe. That pipe was removed and taken into evidence.
NBC10 visited Zarzycki's family in Northeast Philadelphia on Thursday, but they did not want to speak with the media.
Tolbert, Weston and Foulke have been charged with murder, robbery and related offenses and all, police say, have criminal histories.

Capt. Clark said investigators believe the trio panicked and dragged the man's lifeless body to the bathroom. There, Tolbert allegedly used a hatchet to dismember Zarzycki.
His torso was then placed into a bag and thrown into the river, police said.
Investigators are still searching for Zarzycki's other body parts and are leaning on the suspects to share where and how they were disposed.
"We're still talking to them," Capt. Clark said of the suspects. "We have detectives back out at the scene. We will probably still have the Marine Unit go back out to certain locations along the river. The investigation is still on going."
The trio were arrested on Saturday, before Zarzycki's body was found, after the department's Vice Unit held a sting at the apartment.

Philadelphia Police say a pimp and two prostitutes killed a Northeast Philadelphia man, chopped up his body and tossed it into the Schuylkill River after a botched robbery.
Keith Tolbert, Angel Weston and Stephenie Foulke were charged Thursday with the murder of Frank Zarzycki, police said.
Zarzycki's torso was found by fishermen near the 1300 block of Schuylkill Avenue in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. The 40-year-old's head, arms and legs had been chopped off and were missing.
Using a distinctive tattoo on Zarzycki's upper back, investigators on Wednesday were able to identify the man who had been reported missing by family a week before.
Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Capt. James Clark said Zarzycki, who lived in the Somerton section of the city, went to Apartment 26 inside 220 South 11th Street last Monday, August 26 to have a sexual encounter with prostitutes.
The man allegedly began a sexual act with Weston, 21, and Foulke, 22, in the second-floor apartment's living room when Tolbert, the 34-year-old alleged pimp, came in to rob Zarzycki.

Since police found Francis Zarzykci’s dismembered torso in the Schuylkill earlier this week, police had been working to ID his killers. They announced a break today with the arrest of hookers Stephanie Foulke and Angel Weston, along with their alleged pimp, Keith Tolbert.K.C.Tolbert.-businessman,nursing aid student,football watcher,pan thrower,chicken stealler,battlestar galactica talker,Banker,drug addict,gun seller,pimp,strangler,murderer and body chopper.
Evidently, Zarzykci had been to the trio’s apartment-cum-bordello before, but his visit on August 26 ended fatally after the group attempted to rob him and he fought back. From there, Tolbert and his girls allegedly stun-gunned Zarzykci before suffocating him and dismembering his body in a bathtub with a hatchet.
Police, following tips from Zarzykci’s computer and call phone, tracked down Tolbert’s operation at 220 S. 11th street and arranged a successful sting. Police are still currently searching for the rest of Zarzykci’s remains.
And with that, Philadelphia has officially become a real-world version of a ’70s exploitation filmPHILADELPHIA — A Delaware County woman is one of the three people charged with the horrific murder and dismemberment of a Northeast Philadelphia man whose dismembered body was found in the Schuylkill River Tuesday.

Ridley Township resident Stephanie Foulke, 22, was arrested early Thursday morning in connection with the murder of Frank Zarzycki, a 40-year-old bank employee whose dismembered corpse was found floating in the Schuylkill River earlier this week.

Police say Foulke, who resided in the New Orleans apartment complex in the 900 block of South Avenue, is one of two prostitutes who was having sex with the victim in an apartment in the 200 block of South 11th Street near Thomas Jefferson University Hospital last Monday. During the sexual encounter their alleged pimp, Keith Tolbert,KC to freind like Dennis Petty, 34, tried to rob Zarzycki, police said. A struggle ensued, and Zarzycki was killed, police said.

Foulke, Angel Weston, 21, and Tolbert allegedly dragged the victim into the bathroom, where Tolbert used a hatchet to dismember Zarzycki’s body, police said.

“The struggle happened in the living room area,” said Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Capt. James Clark. “We believe he was chopped up and bagged in the bathroom area.”

A fisherman found Zarzycki’s torso in a trash bag in the Schuylkill River on Tuesday. His head, legs and arms have not been recovered, police said.

The three suspects were taken into custody on Thursday. Foulke, Weston, of the 2000 block of East Monmouth Street, Philadelphia, and Tolbert, who resides in the apartment where Zarzycki was killed, are each charged with murder, conspiracy, robbery, abuse of a corpse, false imprisonment and related offenses.

A man who did not want to be identified said he had seen Foulke, whom he described as “the bald-headed girl,” at the apartment complex on South Avenue several times, but didn’t know her personally.

Officials confirmed that Foulke attended the Girls Preparatory Class at the Delaware County Academy in Collingdale last year. It is an alternative school for girls in grades eight through 11 operated by the Delaware County Intermediate Unit. She graduated in June with a diploma from her home district, Interboro.

Ridley Township police said their only contact with Foulke was earlier this year when she reported her bicycle missing.A check of online court dockets show that Foulke had only three other contacts with law enforcement, all for summary offenses of disorderly conduct and harassment.

She is tentatively scheduled to appear in Philadelphia Municipal Court on Sept. 25 for a preliminary hearing.
The search begins

The Strange Case of President Trump and Mr Asshole

2018-11-26T17:50:00.001-08:00

The Strange Case of President Trump and Mr Asshole

"Dr. Trump and Mr. Asshole" redirects here. For other uses, see President Trump

and Mr. Asshole (disambiguation).
Strange Case of President Trump and Mr Asshole is a gothic novella by Scottish author Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of President Trump and Mr. Asshole, President Trump and Mr. Asshole, or simply Trump & Asshole.[1] It is about a London lawyer named Robert Mueller who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Donald Trump,[2][3] and the evil Ronald Asshole. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Trump and Asshole" entering the vernacular to refer to people with an unpredictably dual nature: usually very good, but sometimes shockingly evil instead.[4][5]

Inspiration and writing Edit

Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce
had long been intrigued by the idea of how human personalities can affect how to incorporate the interplay of good and evil into a story. While still a teenager, he was drinking Vodka ,driving his Asten Martin DB 20,he brought with Food Stamps,he earned while doing Graph and digital my enlarging womens with breast to Tina Small sized proportions using Gimp at the London branch of the Economist and crashed his car.The eject seat activated and shot him through the roof,up in the air and landed,bashed his head on a curb in drunken stupor.He lay in the hospital,hearing reports of President Donald Trump stupid ranks during rallies.
developed a script for a play about Donald Trump -call our American Asshole, which he later reworked with the help of Michael Millions and which was produced for the first time in 2017.[6] In early 2018, he wrote the short story "Mister Trump.Have you no shame,fucker", which he revised in 2018 for publication in a Bum Quarterly annual. According to his essay, "A Chapter on Dreams and busted heads" (Scribner's, Jan. 1888), he racked his brains for an idea for a story and had a dream, and upon wakening had the intuition for two or three scenes that would appear in the story Strange Case of President Trump and Mr. Asshole. Biographer Graham Balfour quoted Marcus Pierce's wife Fanny Marcus Pierce:

In the small hours of one morning,[...]I was awakened by cries of horror from Louis. Thinking he had a nightmare, I awakened him. He said angrily: "Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale." I had awakened him at the first transformation scene.[7]

Mike Millions, Marcus Pierce's step bum, wrote: "I don't believe that there was ever such a literary feat before as the writing of President Trump . I remember the first reading as though it were yesterday. Louis came downstairs in a fever; read nearly half the book aloud; and then, while we were still gasping, he was away again, and busy writing. I doubt if the first draft took so long as three days."[7]

Inspiration may also have come from the writer's friendship with Parkway Bum Eugene Apache Pollock , who was convicted and executed for the murder of his boyfriend Jesus Joey Brewster in May 2017.[8] Apache Pollock , who had appeared to lead a normal life in the city, poisoned his w
Jesus Joey with opium. According to author Jeremy Tutu ,[9] Marcus Pierce was present throughout the trial and as "the evidence unfolded he found himself, like President Trump , 'aghast before the acts of Ronald Asshole'." Moreover, it was believed that the park bench bum had committed other murders both in New York,France and Britain by poisoning his victims at supper parties with a "favourite dish of toasted cheese and opium".[10]

Jimmy Sharentoga, a mental patient who was suffering from dissociative identity disorder, caught 'Doctor Bill Patton's attention and he wrote to Marcus Pierce after the story was published. Marcus Pierce was polite in his response but rejected that reading. As was customary, Mrs Marcus Pierce would read the draft and offer her criticisms in the margins. Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce. Marcus Pierce was confined to bed at the time from a haemorrhage and trying to such this Dick.Therefore, she left her comments with the manuscript and Sit Reginald Marcus Pierce in the toilet. She said that in effect the story was really an allegory, but Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce was writing it as a story. After a while, Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce called her back into the bedroom and pointed to a pile of ashes: he had burnt the manuscript in fear that he would try to salvage it, and in the process forced himself to start again from nothing, writing an allegorical story as she had suggested. Scholars debate whether he really burnt his manuscript; there is no direct factual evidence for the burning, but it remains an integral part of the history of the novella.[11]People think he simply burned copies of Secret Agent Double O Zero Mike Millions novels and Yukon MacMillions Novels,he was using as toilet paper anyway.

Marcus Pierce re-wrote the story in three to six days. Actually,he didn't since he never burned the manuscript.It just him six days to run A spell check,while drunk.A number of later biographers have alleged that Sir Reginald Marcus Pierce was on drugs during the frantic re-write; for example, William Gray's revisionist history A Literary Life (2004) said he used cocaine ,heroine and opioids,while other biographers said he used ergot.[12] However, the standard history, according to the accounts of his ex wife Jean MCcrazybitch and son Mike Yurafuck Pierce (and himself), says he was bed-ridden and sick while writing it. According to Mike Yurafuck Pierce , "The mere physical feat was tremendous and, instead of harming him, it roused and cheered him inexpressibly". He continued to refine the work for four to six weeks after the initial re-write. The novella was written in the southern English seaside town of Bournemouth, where Marcus Pierce had moved due to ill health, to benefit from its sea air and warmer southern climate.[

The name Mister Trump was borrowed from Reverend Walter Trump , a friend of Marcus Pierce and younger brother of horticulturalist and landscape designer Gertrude Trump .[13]

Plot Edit
Robert Mueller and his cousin Richard Enfield reach the door of a large house on their weekly walk. Enfield tells Robert Mueller that months ago he saw a sinister-looking man named Ronald Asshole trample a young girl,named Stormy Daniels after accidentally bumping into her. Enfield forced Mister Asshole to pay £100 to avoid a scandal. Ronald Asshole brought them to this door and provided a cheque signed by a reputable gentleman (later revealed to be Doctor Donald Trump, a friend and client of Robert Mueller). Robert Mueller is disturbed because Trump recently changed his will to make Mister Asshole the sole beneficiary. Robert Mueller fears that Ronald Asshole is blackmailing President Trump . When Robert Mueller tries to discuss Mister Asshole with Donald Trump , Trump turns pale and asks that Mister Asshole be left alone.He then starts screaming it all lies...Fake New by the Washington Post and New York Times.My base know the truth.

Synopsis Edit
Dr. Henry Jekyll (Fredric March), a kind English doctor in Victorian London, is certain that within each man lurks impulses for both good and evil. He is desperately in love with his fiancée Muriel Carew (Rose Hobart) and wants to marry her immediately. But her father, Brigadier General Sir Danvers Carew (Halliwell Hobbes), orders them to wait. One night, while walking home with his colleague, Dr. John Lanyon (Holmes Herbert), Jekyll spots a bar singer, Ivy Pierson (Miriam Hopkins), being attacked by a man outside her boarding house. Jekyll drives the man away and carries Ivy up to her room to attend to her. Ivy tries to seduce Jekyll but, though he is tempted, he leaves with Lanyon.
When Sir Danvers takes Muriel to Bath, Jekyll begins to experiment with drugs that he believes will unleash his evil side. After imbibing a concoction of these drugs, he transforms into Edward Hyde—an impulsive, violent, amoral man who indulges his every desire. Hyde finds Ivy in the music hall where she works. He offers to financially support her in return for her company. They stay at her boarding house where Hyde sexually abuses and psychologically manipulates her. When Hyde reads in the paper that Sir Danvers and Muriel are planning to return to London, Hyde leaves Ivy but threatens her that he'll return when she least expects it.

Overcome with guilt, Jekyll sends deliver £50 to Ivy. On the advice of her landlady, Ivy goes to see Dr. Jekyll and recognizes him as the man who saved her from abuse that night. She tearfully tells him about her situation with Hyde, and Jekyll reassures her that she will never see Hyde again. But the next night while walking to a party at the Muriel's where the wedding date is to be announced Jekyll spontaneously changes into Hyde. Rather than attend the party, Hyde goes to Ivy's room and murders her.
Hyde returns to Jekyll's house but is refused admission by the butler. Desperate, Hyde writes a letter to Lanyon instructing him to take certain chemicals from Jekyll's laboratory and take them home. When Hyde arrives, Lanyon pulls a gun on him and demands that Hyde take him to Jekyll. With no other choice, Hyde drinks the formula and changes back into Jekyll before a shocked Lanyon.

Aware that he cannot control the transformations, Jekyll goes to the Carew home and breaks off the engagement. After he leaves, he stands on the terrace and watches Muriel cry. This triggers another transformation and, as Hyde, he enters the house and assaults Muriel. Sir Danvers tries to stop him, but Hyde beats him to death with Jekyll's walking stick then flees back to Jekyll's laboratory where he takes the formula again and reverts to Jekyll.

Trump is up on stage , wearing a big baby diaper,screaming "Don't you love when some Asshole kneel s during a game.They should pull him off the field and say your fired.Your outta here ! "Superman Hugo Fanned picks up a cue ball and super speed bashes in Donald Trump head." Fire that jerk off., "
Donald Trump Ralph Kranden style goes "Whooo Ha !" for twenty minutes . "Fake News.Fake News.! Help me Landrue." And shut one,huge turd.

One night in October, a servant sees Mister Asshole beat to death Mitch McConnell, another of Robert Mueller's clients. The police contact Robert Mueller, who leads officers to Asshole's apartment. Asshole has vanished, but they find half of a broken cane. Robert Mueller recognizes the cane as one he had given to Trump . Robert Mueller visits Trump , who shows Robert Mueller a note, allegedly written to Trump by Ronald Asshole, apologising for the trouble that he has caused. However, Asshole's handwriting is similar to President Trump 's own, leading Robert Mueller to conclude that Trump forged the note to protect Mister Asshole.Mister Assole was seen running up the back alley in a big baby diaper,used by Donny Diapers.
He is heard,screaming " I am the King of the World.Eat my turd,Trump ! "

For two months,President Trump reverts to his former sociable manner, but in early January, he starts refusing visitors. Dr Hastie Lanyon, a mutual acquaintance of Trump and Robert Mueller, dies of shock after receiving information relating to Trump . Before his death, Lanyon gives Robert Mueller a letter to be opened after Mister Trump 's death or disappearance of impeachment. In late February, during another walk with Enfield, Robert Mueller starts a conversation with Trump at a window of his laboratory.Donald Trump suddenly slams the window and disappears.

In early March, Trump 's butler, Mr. K.C.Talbert , visits Robert Mueller and says President Trump has secluded himself in his laboratory for weeks. He is more than likely jerking off his one inches penis,looking at pictures of Stormy Daniels.Robert Mueller and K.C.Talbert break into the laboratory, where they find Mister Asshole wearing President Trump 's clothes and apparently dead drunk from near suicide attempt. President Trump in there screaming its lies.Fake News.Crooked Bill and Hillary.I will raise taxes to build a wall.A great big beautiful wall of beautiful clean cole.And base,the Republican Conseritards clap with their hands and feet like Trumpanzee monkeys in the Book Planet of the Apes Monkey Planet.

They find a letter from Donald Trump to Robert Mueller. Robert Mueller reads Lanyon's letter, then President Trump 's. Lanyon's letter reveals his deterioration resulted from the shock of seeing Asshole drink a serum that turned him into President Trump . Trump 's letter explains that he had indulged in unstated vices and feared discovery. He found a way to transform himself and thereby indulge his vices without fear of detection. President Trump 's transformed personality, Asshole, was evil, self-indulgent, and uncaring to anyone but himself. Initially, President Trump controlled the transformations with the serum, but one night in August, he became Asshole involuntarily in his sleep.

President Trump resolved to cease becoming Mister Asshole. One night, he had a moment of weakness and drank the serum. Asshole, furious at having been caged for so long, killed Mitch McConnell. Horrified, Mister Trump tried more adamantly to stop the transformations. Then, in early January, he transformed involuntarily while awake. Far from his laboratory and hunted by the police as a murderer, Asshole needed help to avoid capture. He wrote to Lanyon (in Mister Trump's hand), asking his friend to bring chemicals from his laboratory. In Lanyon's presence, Asshole mixed the chemicals, drank the serum, and transformed into Mister Trump. The shock of the sight instigated Lanyon's deterioration and death. Meanwhile, Mister Trump's involuntary transformations increased in frequency and required ever larger doses of serum to reverse. It was one of these transformations that caused Mister Trump to slam his window shut on Enfield and Robert Mueller.

Eventually, one of the chemicals used in the serum ran low, and subsequent batches prepared from new stocks failed to work. Mister Trump speculated that one of the original ingredients must have some unknown impurity that made it work. Realizing that he would stay transformed as Asshole, Mister Trump decided to write his "confession". He ended the letter by writing, "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Mister Trump to an end."
exually abuses and psychologically manipulates her. When Hyde reads in the paper that Sir Danvers and Muriel are planning to return to London, Hyde leaves Ivy but threatens her that he'll return when she least expects it.

Overcome with guilt, Jekyll sends deliver £50 to Ivy. On the advice of her landlady, Ivy goes to see Dr. Jekyll and recognizes him as the man who saved her from abuse that night. She tearfully tells him about her situation with Hyde, and Jekyll reassures her that she will never see Hyde again. But the next night while walking to a party at the Muriel's where the wedding date is to be announced Jekyll spontaneously changes into Hyde. Rather than attend the party, Hyde goes to Ivy's room and murders her.

Hyde returns to Jekyll's house but is refused admission by the butler. Desperate, Hyde writes a letter to Lanyon instructing him to take certain chemicals from Jekyll's laboratory and take them home. When Hyde arrives, Lanyon pulls a gun on him and demands that Hyde take him to Jekyll. With no other choice, Hyde drinks the formula and changes back into Jekyll before a shocked Lanyon.

Aware that he cannot control the transformations, Jekyll goes to the Carew home and breaks off the engagement. After he leaves, he stands on the terrace and watches Muriel cry. This triggers another transformation and, as Hyde, he enters the house and assaults Muriel. Sir Danvers tries to stop him, but Hyde beats him to death with Jekyll's walking stick then flees back to Jekyll's laboratory where he takes the formula again and reverts to Jekyll.

Lanyon recognizes the broken cane left at the crime scene and takes the police to Jekyll's home. Jekyll tells them that Hyde has already left, Lanyon insists that Jekyll and Hyde are one and the same. The stress causes another transformation into Hyde and, after a fierce struggle, Hyde is shot by the police. Dying, he transforms back into Jekyll
Dr. Henry Jekyll (Spencer Tracy) believes good and evil exist in everyone. Experiments reveal his evil side, named Mr. Hyde. Experience teaches him how evil and violent Hyde can be: he rapes Ivy Pearson (Ingrid Bergman), who earlier expressed interest in Jekyll. Meanwhile, Jekyll is preparing to marry Beatrix Emery (Lana Turner). Over the course of the film, Hyde abuses Ivy. Feeling remorse over the treatment inflicted on Ivy by his “monstrous” counterpart, Jekyll vows never to take the serum again, destroys the key to his lab, and sends money to Ivy anonymously. Ivy believes the money was sent by Hyde in order to trick her into believing she is now free. On the advice of a friend over her rattled nerves, she goes to Jekyll for comfort. Jekyll promises that Hyde will never hurt her again.

On the way to Emery's house for the announcement of his marriage to Beatrix, Jekyll transforms into Hyde without taking the serum. He goes over to Ivy's house, accuses her of meeting with Jekyll, and strangles her. He escapes back to his locked lab, only to recall that he no longer has the key. He fails to break into the front door of his place, so he hurries to his friend Dr. Lanyon (Ian Hunter) for help. Lanyon is shocked to find out that both Jekyll and Hyde are the same person as Hyde drinks the antidote in his friend's presence. Jekyll decides to break off his engagement to Bea in order to keep his dark secret. She refuses to accept, her reaction triggering Jekyll to become Hyde and frighten Bea. Her father (Donald Crisp) responds to her scream, only to be beaten to death by Hyde.

Lanyon later discovers a piece of Jekyll's cane at the scene, and he realizes his friend is responsible for the murder. He then leads police to search Hyde's lab, where they find Jekyll, who earlier had strong-armed past his butler Poole (Peter Godfrey) to get to the antidote. Soon the cornered doctor starts transforming once again into Hyde as authorities question him in the lab. A struggle ensues and Lanyon shoots Hyde. As the monster dies, he reverts yet sgain and finally to Jekyll.

Characters Edit
Robert Mueller Edit
Robert Mueller, a lawyer and loyal friend of Mister Trump and Lanyon, is the main protagonist of the story. Robert Mueller is a measured and at all times emotionless, bachelor – who nonetheless seems believable, trustworthy, tolerant of the faults of others, and indeed genuinely likable. Robert Mueller has been close friends with Lanyon and Mister Trump. However, Robert Mueller is not immune to guilt, as, while he is quick to investigate and judge the faults of others even for the benefit of his friends, Marcus Pierce states that "he was humbled to the dust by the many ill things he had done". Whatever these "ill things" may be, he does not partake in gossip or other views of the upper class out of respect for his fellow man. Often the last remaining friend of the down-falling, he finds an interest in others' downfalls, which creates a spark of interest not only in Mister Trump but also regarding Asshole. He comes to the conclusion that human downfall results from indulging oneself in topics of interest. As a result of this line of reasoning, he lives life as a recluse and "dampens his taste for the finer items of life". Robert Mueller concludes that Mister President Trump lives life as he wishes by enjoying his occupation. Robert Mueller is a good, kind, loyal and honest friend to Donald Trump.

Dr Donald Trump/Mr Ronald Asshole Edit
Main article: President Trump and Mr. Asshole (character)
President Trump is a "large, well-made, smooth-faced man of seventy with something of a slyish cast",and orange wig,black fatman Oliver Hardy outdated suite and big Bozo the Clown red the [14] who occasionally feels he is battling between the good and evil within himself, upon leading to the struggle between his dual personalities of Donald Trump and Ronald Asshole. He has spent a great part of his life trying to repress evil urges that were not fitting for a man of his stature. He creates a serum, or potion, in an attempt to mask this hidden evil within his personality. However, in doing so, Trump transpired into the smaller, younger, cruel, remorseless, evil Mister Ronald Asshole. Trump has many friends and an amiable personality, but as Ronald Asshole, he becomes mysterious and violent. As time goes by,Mister Asshole grows in power. After taking the potion repeatedly, he no longer relies upon it to unleash his inner demon, i.e., his alter ego. Eventually, Mister Asshole grows so strong ,at every White Trash Republican Consertitard Rally that Donald Trump becomes reliant on the potion to remain conscious.

Richard Enfield Edit
Richard Enfield is Robert Mueller's cousin and is a well known "man about town." He first sees Asshole at about three in the morning in an episode that is well documented as Asshole is running over a little girl. He is the person who mentions to Robert Mueller the actual personality of Trump 's friend, Asshole. Enfield witnessed Asshole running over a little girl in the street recklessly, and the group of witnesses, with the girl's parents and other residents, force Asshole into writing a cheque for the girl's family. Enfield discovers that Trump signed the cheque, which is genuine. He says that Asshole is disgusting looking but finds himself stumped when asked to describe the man.

Dr Hastie Lanyon Edit
A longtime friend of Trump 's, Hastie Lanyon disagrees with Trump 's "scientific" concepts, which Lanyon describes as "...too fanciful". He is the first person to discover Asshole's true identity (Asshole transforms himself back into Trump in Lanyon's presence). Lanyon helps Robert Mueller solve the case when he describes the letter given to him by Trump and his thoughts and reactions to the transformation. When Lanyon witnesses the transformation process (and subsequently hears Trump 's private confession, made to him alone), Lanyon becomes critically ill and later dies of shock.

Mr. K.C.Talbert Edit
K.C.Talbert is Trump 's butler who has lived with him for many years. Upon noticing the reclusiveness and changes of his master, K.C.Talbert goes to Robert Mueller with the fear that his master has been murdered and his murderer, Mr Asshole, is residing in the chambers. K.C.Talbert serves Trump faithfully and attempts to do a good job and be loyal to his master. Yet events finally drive him into joining forces with Robert Mueller to find the truth.

Inspector Shitwhisle Edit
Robert Mueller joins this Scotland Yard inspector after the murder of Mitch McConnell. They explore Mister Asshole's loft in Soho and discover evidence of his depraved life.

Mitch McConnell, MP Edit
A kind, white-haired old man and a Member of the Republican Congress. The maid claims that Mister Asshole, in a murderous rage, killed Mitch McConnell in the streets of London on the night of 18 October (sometime between 11 pm and 2 am by the testimony of the maid). At the time of his death, Mitch McConnell is 70 years old and is carrying on his person a letter addressed to Robert Mueller, and they find one half of one of Trump 's walking sticks on his body. As a result, they later go and investigate in Trump 's White house, but cannot find him; they later enter a house where Asshole has been living and find the other half of the stick in one of Mister Asshole's rooms.

Maid Moron Edit
A maid, whose employer Asshole had once visited, is the only person who claims to have witnessed the murder of Mitch McConnell. She states that she saw Asshole murder Mitch McConnell with Trump 's cane and his feet. Having fainted after seeing what happened, she then wakes up and rushes to the police, thus initiating the murder case of Mitch McConnell.

Analysis of themes Edit

Richard Mueller was mostly known for his dual role depicted in this double exposure. The stage adaptation opened in Boston in 1887, a year after the publication of the novella. (Picture 1895)
Literary genres which critics have applied as a framework for interpreting the novel include religious allegory, fable, detective story, sensation fiction, Doppelgänger literature, Scottish devil tales, and gothic novel.

Dualities Edit
The novella is frequently interpreted as an examination of the duality of human nature, usually expressed as an inner struggle between good and evil, with variations such as human versus animal, civilization versus barbarism sometimes substituted, the main thrust being that of an essential inner struggle between the one and other, and that the failure to accept this tension results in evil, or barbarity, or animal violence, being projected onto others.[15] In Freudian theory, the thoughts and desires banished to the unconscious mind motivate the behaviour of the conscious mind. If someone banishes all evil to the unconscious mind in an attempt to be wholly and completely good, it can result in the development of a Mr Asshole-type aspect to that person's character.[15] This failure to accept the tension of duality is related to Christian theology, where Satan's fall from Heaven is due to his refusal to accept that he is a created being (that he has a dual nature) and is not God.[15] This idea is suggested when Asshole says to Lanyon, shortly before drinking the famous potion – "...and your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger the unbelief of Satan." This is because in Christianity, pride (to consider oneself as without sin or without evil) is the greatest sin, as it is the precursor to evil itself.[15]

In his discussion of the novel, Vladimir Nakoli Vodka argues that the "good versus evil" view of the novel is misleading, as Trump himself is not, by Republican Consertitard Stupidity standards, a morally good person in some cases.[16]

Public vs private Edit
The work is commonly associated today with the Republican Consertitard Stupidity concern over the public and private division, the individual's sense of playing a part and the class division of London.[4] In this respect, the novella has also been noted as "one of the best guidebooks of the Republican Consertitard Stupidity era" because of its piercing description of the fundamental dichotomy of the 19th century "outward respectability and inward lust," as this period had a tendency for social hypocrisy.[17]

Scottish nationalism vs union with Britain Edit
Another common interpretation sees the novella's duality as representative of Scotland and the Scottish character. In this reading, the duality represents the national and linguistic dualities inherent in Scotland's relationship with the wider Britain and the English language, respectively, and also the repressive effects of the Church of Scotland on the Scottish character.[11] A further parallel is also drawn with the city of Edinburgh itself, Marcus Pierce's birthplace, which consists of two distinct parts: the old medieval section historically inhabited by the city's poor, where the dark crowded slums were rife with all types of crime, and the modern Georgian area of wide spacious streets representing respectability.[11][18][19]

Reception Edit
Publication Edit
Strange Case of President Trump and Mr Asshole was initially sold as a paperback for one shilling in the UK, as noted above, and for one dollar in the U.S. These books were called "shilling shockers" or penny dreadfuls.[20] The American publisher issued the book on 5 January 1886, four days before the first appearance of the UK edition issued by Longmans; Scribner's published 3000 copies, only 1250 of them bound in cloth. Initially, stores would not stock it until a review appeared in The Times, on 25 January 1886, giving it a favourable reception. Within the next six months, close to forty thousand copies were sold. As Marcus Pierce's biographer, Graham Balfour, wrote in 1901, the book's success was probably due rather to the "moral instincts of the public" than to any conscious perception of the merits of its art. It was read by those who never read fiction and quoted in pulpit sermons and in religious papers.[21] By 1901, it was estimated to have sold over 250,000 copies in the United States.[22]

The Stage Version Of Strange Case of President Trump and Mr. Asshole Edit
Strange Case of President Trump and Mr Asshole, though it had initially been published as a "shilling shocker," was an immediate success and is one of Marcus Pierce's best-selling works. Stage adaptations began in Boston and London and soon moved all across England and then towards his home country of Scotland.[4]

The first stage adaptation followed the story's initial publication in 2019. Richard Mueller bought the rights from Marcus Pierce, and worked with Boston author Thomas Russell Sullivan to write a script. The resulting play added to the cast of characters, and adds some elements of romance to the plot. Addition of female characters to the originally male-centered plot has continued in later adaptations of the story. The first performance of the play took place in the Boston Museum in May 2018. The lighting effects and makeup for Trump 's transformation into Asshole created horrified reactions from the audience, and the play was so successful that production followed in London. After a successful ten weeks in London in 2018, Mueller was forced to close down production. People that play was a overrated piece of shot like Hamilton,despite what PBS and NPR states.The hysteria surrounding the Jack the Ripper serial murders led even those who only played murderers on stage to be considered suspects. When Mueller was mentioned in London newspapers as a possible suspect for the crimes, he shut down production.[20]

Adaptations Edit

Poster from the 1880s
Main article: Adaptations of Strange Case of President Trump and Mr. Asshole
There have been numerous adaptations of the novella including over 120 stage and film versions alone.[23]

There have also been many audio recordings of the novella, with some of the more famous readers including Tom Baker, Roger Rees, Christopher Lee, Anthony Quayle, Martin Jarvis, Tim Pigott-Smith, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Gene Lockhart and Richard Armitage.

A Musical was created by Frank Wildhorn, Steve Cuden, and Leslie Bricusse: "Trump & Asshole: The Gothic Musical Thriller - The Complete Work" (1994).

Illustrated versions Edit
S. G. Hulme Beaman illustrated a 1930s edition.[24]

References Edit
Marcus Pierce published the book as Strange Case of President Trump and Mr. Asshole (without "The"), for reasons unknown, but it has been supposed to increase the "strangeness" of the case (Richard Dury (2005)). Later publishers added "The" to make it grammatically correct, but it was not the author's original intent. The story is often known today simply as President Trump and Mr. Asshole or even Trump and Asshole.

Kevin Uxbridge

Kevin Uxbridge was the assumed Human identity of a Douwd who came to Earth in the late 23rd century.

"Kevin" was born in 2281. While disguised as a Human student aboard a ship at sea, he met a woman named Rishon. Although her parents did not approve of him, within two hours of their meeting Rishon asked "Kevin" to marry her. Kevin fell in love with Rishon, decided to put aside his powers and live as a Human. Rishon and Kevin were married in 2313, and spent most of their lives in the aquatic city New Martim Vaz, in Earth's Atlantic Ocean. He became a botanist, specializing in symbiotic plant life. He never told Rishon about his true identity.

In 2361, the couple moved to the Federation Delta Rana IV colony, "hoping it would make [them] fall in love all over again". Their life on Rana was full and satisfying, but in 2366, the colony was attacked and destroyed by the Husnock. The moral code of the Douwd prevented Kevin from taking deadly action, even in defense of the woman he loved, so tried to fool them with his powers, though unsuccessfully. Rishon, however, attempted to defend the colonists and died along with them.

Racked with grief, Kevin annihilated the entire Husnock species (estimated at fifty billion beings). Subsequently, Kevin recreated his home and wife.

When an away team led by Commander Riker arrived to investigate the colony's destruction and the apparent survival of the Uxbridges and their home, Kevin attempted to protect his home, first with a buried snare and then by threatening the away team with a non-functioning weapon. Lieutenant Worf considered this an act of unmitigated gall, something he admired. Riker encouraged the Uxbridges to return to the USS Enterprise-D with him, but they refused.

While the away team was investigating on the surface, Counselor Troi attempted to probe the Uxbridges' minds. To hide his true identity, Kevin placed the tune from a music box of Rishon's into Troi's mind. This tune distracted her, eventually causing her considerable suffering.

Hoping to lure the Enterprise-D away from Rana, Kevin created a false warship, which appeared from the Lagrange point of Rana's farthest moon and fired on the Enterprise-D with proton-antiproton energy equivalent to forty megawatts. The crew of the Enterprise naturally assumed this vessel was the same Husnock warship that had attacked the colony, though the design was unknown to the Federation. When the Enterprise-D returned fire, the warship quickly left orbit. As the Enterprise-D attempted to catch up with it, the ship matched Enterprise-D's acceleration exactly, and the Enterprise-D was unable to catch it.

The Enterprise-D returned to the Delta Rana system, and Captain Picardencouraged the Uxbridges to leave the planet; they again refused. After Picard had returned to the ship, Kevin brought the warship back in a slightly different configuration, and fired on the Enterprise-D with 400 gigawatts of particle energy, injuring 66 crewmembers. The Enterprise returned fire, but none of its weapons were effective, and it was forced to leave orbit. Picard hypothesized that the ship was protecting Kevin and Rishon, and to test his theory he informed Kevin that the Enterprise-D would not leave Rana IV as long as Kevin and Rishon were alive. In response, Kevin brought the warship back and had it fire upon the planet, appearing to destroy his home. Picard then ordered a single photon torpedo launched against the warship, and Kevin caused the previously impenetrable ship to be utterly destroyed so that the Enterprise would have no reason to remain in the Rana system. Three hours later the Uxbridge home, and the Uxbridges, were back. Picard had them beamed directly to the bridge of the Enterprise-D, where he explained that he had deduced that Rishon had in fact died in the attack, and Kevin had somehow recreated her and their home. Exposed, Kevin uncreated the copy of Rishon, and disappeared from the bridge. He went to the bedside of the suffering Counselor Troi and removed the music from her mind. When Picard demanded the truth of him, Kevin revealed his true nature and that, in an instant of his regretful grief, he had utterly annihilated the entire Husnock race with a single vengeful thought. Picard decided that humanity was not qualified to judge Kevin's crime, and permitted him to return to the planet and create his wife and home once more.

Colony records indicated that Kevin was 85 years old at the time of the attack, although this was of course based on his false Human identity. In reality, he had lived in the Milky Way Galaxy for many thousands of years. (TNG: "The Survivors")

The hell with Opium addicts.They did to themselves,but being weak.Some of theu are just crazy and violent nutballs.Go give their shot cites and you will have more trouble down the road.But diabetes,it genetic.It not you have too much sweets.My father had it.My uncle John might have had it.My brother certainly had it and have it.It is an evil,uncaring condition,that eventually,at a moment's notice,could take down anyone with it.And like the Terminator,it can be reasoned with .It can be controlled,but with proper medical help and only if your lucky,and get help in proper time.Ofcourse,this book isn't about the evii of diabetes,but it is about one,who lived with one for decades.I want to see a better world,like one Star Trek promises and not the Yuppy Me First one we are into now,promised by thst racist con artist in the Oval Office.Donald Trump needs to go and so does any of those agree with him.Sorry James Woods and Chuck Woolery,your not an American Citizen.Your just a long line of evil,hateful turds,who have died with Nazi Germany.
So this book is for Carl.

Chapter One
Carl Edward Thompson was born on December 1st,1955.He was a Sagittarius
Joseph Gilbert Thompson -that's me,was born on August 20th,1959.I am a Leo.Can't you tell ?

My brother has often told me the story.When he about four or five,he felt all alone.He had no real friends.He just had mom and dad.And when he was told,he would have a little brother,he was happy.He would finally have a friend -best friend.I told me stories of pushing me around in a baby couch.I do not remember that.My family lived at some place they called 3 O 1.I assume that was the street address.I am told,at some point,my parents had a television repair shop.My mother,said,they often idiots,coming in bothering them,who did need tv sets repaired.Also,some point,my father and mother,with 3 year old Carl,had a little local stage show.Everyone dressed up as cowboy stars.My father,went by the name "Hank" Thompson.I believe he liked Country and Western star Hank Williams and Hank Snow.Somewhere about then,they must have encountered local tv star Sally Star.For years,my father's guitar,hung around the house,along my mother's white coygirl stetson.There was also,a black and white picture of someone playing a guitar,like the one,my father had.Carl Jackson Thompson claimed it was him,but my mother disputed that.My father also claimed to raced stock cars,at a race track.Truth ? You knows !
Later,everyone moved from 301 to 1547 Adams Ave.I assume,the Thompson Family did,by way of an old 1950 Studebaker.Where that car eventually went was unknown to me.My mother Kay,would just say,my father just let it go,because he an asshole.My mother,seem to have bad luck with men.She married and then left somebody name Lew Smithers.He loved a very sad looking version of Killer Kane mixed with Tyrome Powers,as I remember seeing in a picture in the attic box.
1547 Adams Avenue was a set two homes joined by a wall.There were two more like this on both sides.The old Frankford El train ran by my house all day and night.The six homes were owned by Bernard Freeman,who rented them out to people,next door to my house.Art- gay,who was said to be a Carnie-someone who works in a Carnival ,Donahue,The Skewickies-the neighborhood Polish hillbillies and i forget who else.My house was as I am told,pretty old and once must have the location of someone's Barbar Shop.We did have a strange,heart shaped lump in the floor,under the living room carpet,so that may have been true.Rumors had it,some woman,either was murdered there or committed suicide long ago.True ? Who knows ?
The house sat across from two other joined row houses.I do not who lived there when we moved in,but later the Flerks lived there.I became Friends the son Mark Flerks.To left was Mrs. Achers house,a small grey stone dweller.I don't remember much about Mister Achers,but Mrs.Achers had big pigeon coop in back.That took much of the yard and waz similar to you see in the movie,On the Waterfront.(I could've been a contender,instead I am a smook !A nobody ! A bum !).People used to say,Mrs.Aches eat those Pigeons.Probably not.Fore some reason,my father called her Paddlefoot.I think was some comic strip character or tv series character.
My father had a knack giving weird nicknames.Something we inherited from him.He used to Aunt Sue- Aunt Sack of Money and Uncle John -Uncle Jawbone Arthritis.My mother hated that I felt it was kind of funny.
"Aunt Sack of Money and Uncle John -Uncle Jawbone Arthritis ?" he would sing ".Aunt Sack of Money ? Uncle John -Uncle Jawbone Arthritis ! "
My father,had a nutty sence of humour.
Next to Mrs.Aches,was the bar.Moes I guess.Run some guy,looked a bit Jackie Gleason,only fatter and a busted nosed,flatted nosed.Rumor has,he was a boxer and that explains the nose.He told often give this mean,steely blue eyed stair.Like the one Clint Eastwood could give you or Conan,Mack Boland or James Bond,that give you the chills.
Across that,under the elevated train was a gas station and across that Womrath Park.Beyond Womrath Park was Degnan Chevrolet.Degnan had to image of his face,that you see our upstairs bed room Window,that glowed Earie red in the dark.It had that look about it,like in the billboard it book Great Gatsby.It stared back you,almost evil like the devil.
The kitchen,was large,with a bricked up fire place,pasted over with plaster.The room was pretty big,with a metal table,in the center.The table was covered some yellow stripped plastic sheets and one side,an odd island shaped imprint in the surface.I was told,it the result of a coffee pot,left along to long.One side,near the door,was an old Friggidair Icebox and funny,almost robot looking 1930s Washing Machine.It basically,was a large,barrel shaped white tub,with a twine roller structure on top.My mother fed it wet clothes between the two rollers and rung out the clothes.As it washed clothing,this Star Wars/Lost in Space robot looking washing machine,would danced back and forth.I always,thought it looked kind of funny dancing about.
My early thing I remember the crib,with the Bambi like deer on it and how everyone would come to see.Mommy,Daddy and Carl.I think Uncle John and Aunt Sue did once in while,but not sure of anyone else.They might have,but I was 3 or 4,so what the hell do I remember.I remember Carl with the Teddy bears-Momma and Poppa Bear.It was a mixed marriage,because Momma Bear was a brown and Poppa Bear was a Panda Bear.We were kids and like everyone,we thought Pandas were bears.What did we know.
As kids,we played Fireman,because someone gave a red fireman hat.This was mostly in upstairs,back bed room,which had two beds in it.One for me and one my brother.Which was a white blue affair,next a long bathroom.Near that,down a long hallway,was the front room.This was my parents room.It had a big double bed and lots of clothing about.
Our T.V. was an old big ,wooden dark brown box,with speakers under the large black and white screen.A tuning knob and sound knob was to the right side of the speaker.I believe it was old Philco Television set,with tv tubes in back.Rabbit ears antenna gave reception.This,sorry to say,way before days flat screen T.V. and binge watching.I am talking a very 1950s primitive Munster affair.

We watched The Adventures of Superman,with George Reeves.Ok ,I think Superman was weird,running around in his underwear,but he was a hero,who helped people,so who cares how he dressed.Beside,I had a pair of blue pajamas and red socks,so I be Superman,too.And did later,in go around wearing a Superman tee shirt,because I found my religion -one based on Jesus,but one based on Kal El of Krypton.I felt,if you wore that Big Red S,you should try aspire to Supermans ideals,if his actions or great feats.We knew nothing the actors drinking and my father tried to spoil it,by saying he jumped out a window.Come on,we knew it was all fake.The window,George Reeves jumped was just a set.Who cares.Superman was a hero.
We loved the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits.The Outer Limit s scared me.My brother,still yes,that's we watched it mostly at Doggies House.Doggie was the nickname of a woman,my mother used visit.She had a daughter named Pat.Still,those aliens scared me,especially the ghost like one of Wolf 315.Now,I laugh at them and think they kind of funny.
But we were kids.You live and learn.
Chapter Two

I first remember us watching Lost in Space.What a wonderful idea.A family in space.It had a heroic dad,in John Robinson and sidekick substitute son in the form of Major Don West.H is friend was Johns older daughter Judy.The kids were Will and Penny.And they had a robot-B9.The cast only drawback was pain in the ass Doctor Zachary Smith.That first season was the best,before everything got stupid.And the last black and white episodes Follow the Leader,must inspired much of stuff in Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
Now,the next year Star Trek appeared.I still remember Kirk crawing around with Phaser Rifle.An tv announcer says "See it this fall..Star Trek on NBC. And stupid me,misheard it as Star Track.My brother,quickly corrects his idiot little brother and says "It's Star Trek.Not Star Track."
Even,he was always being not only my brother,but my mentor.
Not only was he my older brother,he was my mentor and my best friend. I owe everything because of him.Certainly,anything creative.Certainly,there was the likes of Stan Lee,Roy Thomas,Edgar Rice Burroughs,Robert E.Howard,George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry and so many other creative people,but I lived with Carl 58 years.He showed me never put up standard work,in a world where,many just create standard work and collect the money.I miss him dearly.All he ever wanted was to be a successful writer,but nobody but me trusted him.Not Analog.Not Star Trek the Next Generation.Not one of those sons of bitches out there publishing or producing scripts.Carl,like me was far to much of risk for the old boys networks and publish the already sure bet brand names,that flood the market,with very few gems and tons of paper blob trash.To them,we were just some more nobodies,wasting their pretentious time.
Our love of science fiction begins with Uncle Harry.He was Harry Yearsley,her sister Aunt Elizabeth's husband.I do not,if my mother was into any of before,but Harry got really into science fiction and monster movies.And my brother came,he would watch movies with her.He always told me,she was too scared to watch them along.Or maybe,she wanted to share that kind of stuff her new child.All I know is,when I came along,we all watching movies like Forbidden Planet on the samie couch at 1547 Adams Avenue,Philadelphia,Pa.19124 in Frankford.Those were the days .Double Chiller Theater.Space Ghost,the Herculoids,the Fan Fantastic Four,Spider-Man,Marvel Superheroes.Saturday has never been the same-no matter,how great the technology,that has come along and created to replace it.Yes crude by today's standards,but to a child like me,it was wonderful.Fantastic. Ninja Turdles and Transformers,He-Man are all second 30 minute toy ads.All second and third rate pikers to me.
It was my opening to grand new world.The first day of a new world for me.
We loved the world s of Star Trek,Lost in Space ,Star Wars and Star Trek.We watched the tv series like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,The Time Tunnel ,Doctor Who and the Man from Uncle.Good or bad those apart of our childhood -for better or worse.

Chapter Three
Bond.James Bond.
Carl introduced me to James Bond.Ok,it wasn't the books or the movies,but some dumb stickers,on the back of Bond Bread-a local baking company,who just happened to a bread named Bond.It had nothing to really was 007,other a common name.
Carl told me,Bond was a secret agent.They were like Private Detective s that work the government and a License to kill.
Carl Thompson loved James Bond and Ian Fleming.He got me into it too.Infact, Carl's first attempt at writing was to write a James Bond novel about a plot to blow up Philadelphia with an atomic bomb,when he was about ten or eleven.I seemed to remember,about that time,he also tried to write a sequel to the movie the Omega Man.He was a big fan not of Charlton Heston,but Richard Matheson -the Grandfather of stuff like the Walking Dead.My brother like all weirdo Zombie/Vampire I am Legend/,Walking Dead stuff.Not because it was about vampires or zombies.Zombies aren't scare me nor are they cool.They could be the Walking Clowns or Walking Homeless Assholes .What makes the Omega Man or Walking Dead work,is that,they about people.People not Zombies,Vampires or clowns.If you think it just about cool zombies -actually flesh eating ghouls,then your an idiot.

When I would not eat properly,my father threatened to get the big black bear,that he claimed lived the Frankford Creek bridge.I was skeptical .I never saw or heard about big,black bear living under the bridge.And if so,why didn't the cop or somebody catch that dangerously huge creature ?
My mother,said that wasn't necessary.He will eat.But my father said ",No,the big bear will get to eat ! I'll get the wooden pole to chase him out from under the bridge and up our alley.So,then he goes up stairs and rumages about to rush out the front door.Moment s later,a big black shape appears in the alley,kitchen window.Started,I pop up my seat.Can't be a big black bear.No way !In Frankford ?
Still,one never knows.I can't take a chance.Maybe there is a big ,black bear,who hates kidd,who don't eat their supper fast.I begin to eat just in case and the bear goes away.Moment s later,my father returns and goes back up stairs.He returns and asked if I saw the bear outside the window ?
" Yes. " i tell him.
"He,joe." he tells me "And he'll be back,if you don't eat again."
What really happened,was my father went up stairs and got my mother old black,furry coat.Took a wooden pole and went out front.In the alley,he put on the black coat and hunched down under the window,grawling and waving his arms.The rest was in my imagination.There was no big,black brown bear under the Frankford Creek bridge.I was right,after all.
Still,years later,everytime I crossed that bridge,I thought about the imaginary big black bear.I could even see him in my mind,hiding this little,concrete tunnel way under the far end of the bridge,even to this day.
Parents.They do some weird things and that was one for sure.

He loved Tom Clancy.He loved Dune.I think that was his favorite book,since read it several times.He read all the Dune books-Sequels and Prequels.
Robert E.Heinlein.Ray Bradbury.Those were his writing mentors.Mine was Robert E.Howard and the Hyborean Age of Conan.I was into the likes of Lester Dent and the world of Doc Savage.Michael Moorcock and his Eternal Champion series. Stan Lee and Roy Thomas,who created the 1960s and 1970s Marvel.Today's Marvel is nowhere as good as that,despite flaws and all.Marvel to day is just the same as DC Comics -a brand name of logos and different names,but a shadow of the cool days of Stan Lee's Bullpen and Roy Thomas 's literary Marvel,giving us the like of Conan and Dracula.Those were good times.I wish I had them again.
We wanted to be as good as them or if not better.Fan boys yes,but also scholars and critics.We took the good,with the bad.They our entertainment of choice,but not our religion.
It is also dedicated to Kathleen Thompson and Carl Jackson Thompson.Two children of the Depression Era,whose troubled times,never really left them.I know my mother was youngest child of Scottish Irish,who fled sometime before the 1930s.Susan Hadiman and John Arthur Hardiman was my grandparents.Their children was Mary,(Aunt Mary to us)Cireta(Aunt Sue to us),Elizabeth(Aunt Betty to us),John (Uncle John to us ) and Kathleen.Nancy was someone -a sister,who died at some point,before I was born.
Carl Jackson Thompson was from Georgia.Why fled Georgia,I will also never know? Obviously,something bad must have happened,that led him to come North and find himself in Philadelphia.Who Carl Jackson Thompson was there ,I will never know.He claimed to have went to Georgia Tech.He claimed to once chased an electron around the block.It was one of those Paul Bunyuneque stories he told.I imagined him chasing a lightning bolt rolling before him,like a runaway tire.Something the Flash could do,chase after lightning.
I do know on my father's grandmother side was some Native American blood.Family rumours have they were related to Gilbert Beaty,who was related to the famous Ringling Brothers Circus lion tammer Clyde Beaty.So this the story,my family told me.Once,my mother did take me the Ringling Brothers,Barnum and Bailey circus to meet Clyde Beatty,saw him practicing training lions,but failed to talk him.My mother,failed to get his attention through the iron bars and thought,he wouldn't remember her anyway.I was named Gilbert after Gilbert Baity,because I was a leo and had connections to lions.

I was a miracle,me and Carl got a Christmas and Thanksgiving,under our poor condition s at 1547 Adams Avenue.My mother made sure me and Care got to Franklin Institute,the Academy of Natural Sciences and Art Museum.
They both trusted my art.They introduced us to art and literature.Kay Thompson trusted my brother Carls talent for writing.I think she was a frustrated artist herself.I hope I will never let them down.Mavericlion Productions,LLC. will go on with out them.It certainly will go on with my big brother Carl.
Chapter Four

Me and Carl liked to play Dinosaurs.We used to have strange route,one that started in old factory way down several blocks on Adams Avenue,passed an open gate and drive way towards Frankford Creek,where it was mostly walled on both sides by high, concrete walls and high chain linked fence.Strange red and green tall plants grew on both sides of the outside fenced in walls.Me and Carl would pretend,this was the path into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World.
The path ultimately led to paved backyard of row house and over to several streets.We could go up near and old junk yard,with crazy German Shepherd,who wrestle with dirty rug in jaws,showing what a big bad dog he was.There was no sicks balls stuff here.The dog was well chained to dog house and once you that,as my told,you had nothing to fear.The dog was all show and no bite.Just a nutty,junk yard dog.
Next we would then go up towards the Old A and P Market .Over to Juniatta Golf Course and up passed the Hospital.That led to another place by some old building and over the Roosevelt Boulevard.And towards the Old Sears Tower and building,to the next door Sears and Rubbucks Store.It was all just to make a kind of Stand By Me adventure,out of mile or so walk to Sears.
One time brother played a dirty trick on me,on the way back home.Near the Junk Yard Dog place,was a bridge going over the other end Frankford Creek.My sudden ly went over to bridge railing and scream ed "I' m going to jump.I will."
I panicked fearing he would jump and scream ed "No ! No,don't jump !" trying to pull him away from the railway .
He said " You idiot ! I wasn't really going to jump ! I was just testing you,to see if you cared ,stupid !. "
I did care.After all,he was my brother.I was really affraid,he was going to die.If only,I knew how true that become allot in the future.

Once we got to go to the Thrill Show.It wad something put on and preformed by the Philadelphia Police.Motorcycle stunts and such.We got to see Gomez Addams ,played by John Asten and Lurche played by Ted Cassedy.They were dress in costume as the were in the show.Another year,we got those two American scientists lost in the swirling vortex of the Time-Tunnel.Doug Newman (Jimmy Darren- a local boy) and Doug Phis (Robert Colbert).
I was thrilled.I loved the crazyness of the Addams Family.Plus,I was the property master on the show.Check the end credits.Joe Thompson Property Master.
I also loved the Time Tunnel.The idea of a tunnel into time,seemed fantastic.My brother Carl tried to explain it.A tunnel,that extends back into reality,but into time itself.Weird,but I loved it.A tunnel so big,if used kind of fantastic technology to generate portal through time.We never heard of wormholes or Stargate yet,but the concept was sound.Even by today's standards.

Chapter
I remember one time Carl tried to teach chess and he beat me three times.The next game,he let me win.He told me,it wasn't about taking pawns .It was about strategy and outwit ting the opposite side.And the one,he claims I played a good game and won all by myself or he told me.He would do stuff like that.
Generally,before this,Halloween I wore one of those stupid store brought costumes.Your the shitty ones,Dan Achryode make fun in old SNL skits.My brother wore some generic spaceman costume,though it could have been Buck Rogers and I had King Kong.The Space Man,had a 1950s flight look,which was I guess ok,but The King Kong stupid.It had smelly,plastic gorilla mask and a stupid,tunic,with King Kong busting through some treesa,with the King Kong above.What the fuck,man ?,No shit !I wanted a real Kong look,with real gorilla chest .And I did mention the mask stunk of shitty,sweating plastic ?
Never again !
Next time,I make my own.A few years,I went out a bum.Easy costume.Wear an old brown suite coat,old pants and fedora.
One holloween,Carl wanted to dress up as Mister Spock.Carl was a big fan of Spock,because he was the science officer.Me,I preferred take charge Captain Kirk.Carl managed to some elf ears at a local shop.My mother used an old blue green pajama top,that slightly resembled a Star Trek uniform.My drew a Star Fleet Triangle on the left breast side,that looked enough like the shows Enterprise symbol.He put some dark pants and black boots.
I think,that year I went out as Barnabus Collins.I liked Barnabus,because he was the tragic,star of Dark Shadows.Torchured vampire,from Americas Colonial period,living in Collinswood.I put an old suite coat and pants,with black cap,that looked allot like the vampire wore on Dark Shadows.He mother styled my hair,to resemble the Roman cut Barbabus had,sprayed down with hair spray.I had an old brown wooded cane,with no wolfs head.Oh well,so for accuracy.I think,must people got who I was.After all,Barbabus Collins was the rock star of daytime tv.He had a popular gothic soap opera,a Gold Key Comic was on tons of fan magazines-,even Famous Monsters of Filmland.To a kid,that was the one to be on.
One I vaguely knew,went as Count Drucula.Big black Doc Strange cape.He must put allot work into that.Me,I was so proud,I was the hip,cool vampire,while was dressed as the old guy,from 1930s Universal Films.
We went out and we didn't get rocks,but some idiot father called my brother Doctor Spock.It was Mister Spock,you idiot.Dr.Spock was a famous baby doctor -Benjamin Spock back then and other than shairing a last name,had nothing to do with a famous tv Vulcan.The only doctor on Star Trek was Doctor Leonard H. McCoy and once Doctor Mabinga.Christ,People can be so stupid sometimes.
D Day Part One
The unthinkable is happening.
This thd United States of America.A man home is his castle.Yeah except to real estate and Lecence and Inspection pirates.To them,it immenant domain and go fuck yourself.I get what I want.Fuck you non citizen.
The first sign is three old lunics,who showed assuming there were dead bodies in the house.They were surprised three living people answered the door.They came in and mumble some shit about the conditions of the house.My mother,my brother and me told them to go fuck themselves .They ran down the street like their asses were set on fire.
D Day Part Two
The Bastards did to us again.
Motherfucker Irwin Lewiski comes around banging on the door to inspect the house.Motherfuck woke me up.I woke,scared as shit.Here it comes.Shit hitting the fan,like five fucking years ago.L and I.License and Inspiration.Clip.Another bunch of assholes looking to use this as an excuse to steal
furniture.Now,maybe to you,they are some mighty heroes,like the Avengers saving the world,but to me,they are just a bunch of assclowns like the Jokers henchmen in the old 1960s Batman television series.
My brother answered the door and a fat,smelly dirt bag,in a grey pin strip shirt and pants,who kind of looked the Ox in the old Daredevil comics came inside.He said,he came inspect the house.More he came to legally steal whatever was available and valuable.
My brother said all we had some spiders in the basement.That didn't work.Should met him and two turd Cops with a shotgun to the gut.Yes,the cops,too.Greasy,giggling pieces of shit !
You would think,this all some kind of comedy act,laughing other misfortunes.I passed out,in front of my house on a lawn chair.I had one of panic attacks.And what I get from the Keystone Cops-Abbott and Costello.Laughter.The whole thing was a big fucking joke to Cocksucker One and Cocksucker Two.Fuck you,you pricks.Hope you die from gunshot blast to the ass.Bleed from your assholes,as you die.Maybe your brains with run out your ass,with the shit and piss.And this bothers you,then Philadelphia Ferturnal Order of Police.Well,fuck your Ferturnal...your Order .....and your Police.Fuck you period,you stupid Trump Supporting,minority shooting pricks.Go arrest more black and then shoot him 47 times in the head,for reaching for his cell phone or wallet.All while you let the crazy,drunken opioid nuts,panhandlers shit up Center City,with shitty power signs saying I'm homeless and hungry.The biggest con next to that penguin in the White Boy House.
Chapter

My brother spent the last two years,pissed off because the computer was broke.Actually two computers broke and we had no money to fix them.Like John Wayne says in the movie the Quiet Man "Money....the cause of all my troubles.I am sick of the talk of it."
Money or the lack of it,seems to be the cause of all our troubles.

.He sounded allot like Robert E.Howard in The Whole Wide World,saying he can't write and has nothing left.He was just waiting to die.Me,I didn't want to hear and wanted to find a Captain Kirk/Ulysses way out of the situation.My Kubi Oshi Moru /Corbomite Manuever.
Oh,he would rush out to the doctor and run down to get medicines.And sit in Starbucks or Whole Foods Downloading tv shows and movies off Netflicks,but any about Mavericlion Productions,LLC.hulted by him.I was still drawing and planning future projects or building up the fictional world,but him nothing.It was just alot of talk.We get up and work all day,to get the next book done.I wonder now,if it all was allot of Bullshit.I will never know.
He ran to get some stupid blood test at some clintic.We ran around looking for it some Jefferson Hospital building and wasted time,when should have just forget it and went to dinner.But he was insistent and went inside.He went to get a urine test and fell off a toilet,breaking his hip.
The one asshole paramedic though the was drunk.Stupid fuck.I told it was low blood sugar.Philadelphia really needs to clean out the stupid trash among the paramedics.They have some goods,who saved my brother s a billion times,but you get once a while the basic units,that are not capable of whipping their own asses.They need to go or be retrained.I remember the bitch,who come to the bitching and treating everyone like shit.She would boss her partner,like he a low case turd,while dropping my brother on the floor,like a dead dog.Asshole.I wouldn't let this clown,apply a bandaid,let alone anything higher.And yes,Mayor Kenny,I am talking to you here.You need to worry,less about fucking soda taxes and clean up the paramedics dept.And for fucking godsake -clean up the fucking bums and Opioid Panhandlers.They are all crazy nuts.None them are starving with places St.Johns ,Broad St Ministry feeding and the Sunday Breakfast.Fuck get them into Injection Cites.The panhandlers want dope money to get self medication crack or opioid pills,so they can rot brain and get nuttier.The one day fucking one of stupid weak fucks going to get a gun and shoot up and a school of kids,while your ignoring the situation.Your always good at ignoring the potential powder keges of the world.The death of Arch Duke Ferdinand,Pearl Harbor.911,school shootings,Donald Trump.
Don't like that statement ? Well too fucking bad,because it is the truth.
How about jail or deport them back home.Or gee,open the nuthouses.And put a few of the lazy,crazy cops that voted for Trump off the force.

Chapter
Now,I sit a room all by myself,because my brother Carl is dead.My future will him died with him.My life my projects died with him.I must carry on alone.He will never see,that good life,he hoped to see out publishing a book.Any trip to New York gone.
My brother is dead.
And I don't know why ?
As of right now,I have answers,other he is gone and I am alone.
I am sorry,but fuck you Philadelphia for caring more high rise apartments.Fuck you for not cleaning up the drug addict turds of the street.Fuck you for treating the poor,like you do minority races.Non citizens.
And sorry,if you don't that ,yuppie Philadelphia.Up yours and your jogging dog walking moron Millennials.Fuck you period.Fuck you,evey homel bum I met in the past ten years.Eveyone of except about three people,are all losers.And every panhandler,your not even human.Everyone of needs to lethal injection.Fuck John DiBella and sheep ship Wawa sandwich spots on Classic MGK.And fuck NPR and your Hamilton tickets.Fuck you Trump supporters.May you all burn in hell.
Truth hurts.Put that on Radio Times and Fresh Air.

Tina Small (born on September,10, 1959) is a 1980s British adult model, who has extremely large 84 inch breasts. It was claimed that she had virginal breast hypertrophy, but videos show her breasts were likely prosthetic. Tina is still considered by many of her fans as arguably the biggest big-busted British adult model on the planet. Tina was the first of the truly full-sized women, yet she needed no artificial help to be so. Also, she was an extremely pretty girl, with long flowing blonde hair and a lovely face. With Tina, inches are not the issue, although one Fling article cited 81-23-35, and another gave 84 as the main number, and a third source gives 212 (centimetres, of course).

Adult modeling career

Tina was one of the world's most extraordinary personages ever film. Sporting an 84 inch bust, Tina began her career posing for various nude pictorials in the English tabloid The Sun. Numerous British, and then American adult magazines devoted to big busts like Gent and Fling followed. Tina also appeared in a few semi science based soft core porn flicks.

Early life and career

Born Christina Jane Small in the small town or village Somerset, Tina also had a sister, Debra Small-who died at a very early age. Tina's impressive bust is suspected to be a result of a rare medical condition Virginal hypertrophy. Her mother, who was abandoned by her Father at an early age, was forced to raise her and her young sister.

After graduation from high school, Tina met photographer John Xavier-who convinced her to pose in several nude pictorials which then were printed in various magazines- mainly Fling Magazine in the United States. Tina then began to cause a bit of a sensation and was the forerunner to other big busted models such as Zena Fulsom and her sister Cindy Fulsom. and American strippers such as Chelsea Charms. Tina retired from modeling in the late 1980's.

Since her retirement, a host of fake freakishly huge breast imitators -Zena Fulsom, Vicki Little, Mandy Mountjoy, and Maria Biggs- followed in her footsteps in adult modeling with what obviously were fake latex breasts. She has also inspired the likes of mega-busted women who have polypropylene, or silly string, breast implants such as Chelsea Charms, Maxi Mounds, Minka and Sheyla Hershey. Tina once had her own fan club Talnt, which should for Tina Appreciation League of North Texas which she also sponsored.

Several years ago,I came into possession of a comic book from 1976...not published by DC or Marvel,or any company I'm familiar with,but by "Star Reach Productions".It's an anthology,containing several good stories,many of which were created by some of the most notable names in comics.Anyway,here's the first,Gideon Faust,Warlock At Large, by Len Wein and Howard Chaykin.
Set in Victorian London,it's sort of a Sherlock-Holmes-meets-Dr.-Strange-sort-of adventure.

Pulp comics: The Scorpion/Dominic Fortune

Posted by Michael at 10:00 am Friday, July 25, 2014 in Comics, Review
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Comic-book creator Howard Chaykin has been involved with several pulp and pulp-inspired comics during his career.

Most pulp fans are familiar with his take on The Shadow that appeared at DC Comics (and recently reprinted by Dynamite).

Among the original, pulp-inspired characters are a pair of early characters he created: The Scorpion and Dominic Fortune.

Chaykin created The Scorpion for Atlas Comics in 1975. As some pulp fans may not be aware of Atlas Comics, some background on them. Martin Goodman, who had established several pulp companies in the ’30s such as Red Circle and Manvis, was also involved in comics, establishing Timely Comics, which later became Atlas Comics, then Marvel Comics.

He had sold off Marvel Comics in 1968, but stayed on as publisher until 1972. Later he decided to get back into the business, establishing Seaboard Publications and briefly published comics under the Atlas Comics line. Most fans refer to this as Atlas/Seaboard to differentiate it from the original Atlas Comics of the 1950s.

Atlas/Seaboard published about 20 or so color comics and a handful of black & white magazines. Despite getting a lot of top creators, most comics were fairly derivative (though there are a few gems here and there). None of the titles lasted more than four issues, and most suffered from what fans call the “third issue switch” in which the titles changed direction either with the third issue or just after it, often including a new creative team. Chaykin’s work on The Scorpion lasted only two issues, with a new team and direction with the third.

In the first issue, we learn that Moro Frost is either long lived or immortal, as he had been around since at least the Civil War. Now, in the 1930s, he operates as a urban mercenary known as The Scorpion. In action, he wears a distinctive outfit of blue military-like pants, black shirt, and tan vest (which has chain mail in it), along with a gunbelt. He is shown to be somewhat amoral, looking only for money.

select an issue of The Scorpion

Probably the Atlas title with the most breakout potential was the Scorpion, written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin. At least the first two issues.

The Scorpion was a man presently called "Moro Frost", but who had many different identities over many different generations. Using themes he would continue to explore over the next 15 years, Chaykin created a pulp-type adventure hero set in the days just before World War II.

The only problem is, it seems, that Chaykin wasn't fast enough for the schedule assigned to him by editor-in-chief Jeff Rovin. One has only to compare the covers of the first two issues to see the results.

The schedule problems are further evidenced by the veritable Who's Who of artists who helped Chaykin finish the second issue: Berni Wrightson, Michael Kaluta, and Walter Simonson among them.

The third issue has just about nothing to do with the first two. Chaykin quit over issues of control regarding his character when a Gabe Levy/Jim Craig story set 30 years later with the main character now a Daredevil-like costumed crime fighter. Only the logo remained.

Chaykin wasn't done with the character. He became Dominic Fortune at Marvel, where he pretty much promptly got lost in the shuffle. Chaykin, himself, though went to play a pivotal role in the independent comics boom of the early 80's with American Flagg and now works in Hollywood.

Empire State Airways Cargo Flight 521, bound for Chicago, has crashed into a New York City tenement building. It is the 4th plane that Empire has lost this month. It's owner, Roger Boyle, hires Moro Frost, a.k.a. the Scorpion, to investigate.

The man behind the attacks is Garro Kalaydjian, a shipping czar who deals in transatlantic cargo. Using a device that focuses sound, he is able to kill pilots. A higher dose destroys the engine causing the plane to crash. The destruction is not yet over.

Several days later, Empire State Airways Flight 81 for Toronto is to be piloted by the Scorpion. Minutes after takeoff, over a nighttime Manhattan, a plane approaches. The Scorpion is under attack. Not expecting the cargo ship to attack, they prove no match for the Scorpion and are blown out of the sky. The two pilots manage to survive by ejecting from the plane.

The Scorpion's assistant, Ruby, has been trying to dig up information on who is responsible for the attacks. Her eavesdropping lands her in trouble. It takes three men to overtake her. At that moment, the Scorpion arrives, making quick work of two of the thugs. After interrogating the remaining thug, he learns that Kalaydjian is behind the attacks on Empire Air.

News of the Scorpion's involvement spreads quickly. Kalaydjian wants no part of him. The two pilots who ejected over Brooklyn feel differently. They kill Kalaydjian for backing out and plot to kill the Scorpion.

The two proceed to force Roger Boyle to call the Scorpion's assistant, Ruby, and lure her to the airport. The ruse works as Ruby is held hostage by the gunmen. When learning of Ruby's whereabouts, the Scorpion heads for the airport, suspecting foul play.

Upon entering an empty airport hangar, the Scorpion is attacked. After taking out one of his assailants, he pursues the other, who has started a plane with the intent of bombing the airfield. The plane roars down the runway with the Scorpion in hot pursuit. Gunfire from his pistol finds it's mark as the craft explodes ending the threat to Empire Airways.

Jules Reinhardt, Chicago financier, has disappeared. Five days after a mysterious phone call, terrified and muttering something about black magic and voodoo, Mr. Reinhardt left his home and has yet to return. Mrs. Reinhardt wants her husband found. The Scorpion agrees to do so. After meeting with Mrs. Reinhardt, the Scorpion learns that Max Cervantes is somehow involved in Mr. Reinhardt's disappearance. Max Cervantes, however, died 8 years ago in a plane wreck. The Scorpion's investigation leads him to one unmistakable conclusion, that Max Cervantes is still alive. He heads to the Skylight Room, a former speakeasy once owned by Max. It is there that the Scorpion finds the lifeless body of Jules Reinhardt, only to be told that Jules Reinhardt is, indeed, Max Cervantes. Cervantes faked his death 8 years ago and changed his face, taking the identity of Jules Reinhardt. After changing identities, Max skipped out on his partner, Buddy Lyle. There had been rumblings that Lyle had suspicions about Reinhardt, causing Reinhardt to grab his bank books and hide out. He was murdered using a voodoo doll and his bank books are missing. Buddy Lyle now has the bank books, but they are of no value to him. Mrs. Reinhardt must sign off, in person, in order to withdraw any funds. He plots to kidnap Mrs. Reinhardt in order to empty the off-shore accounts. In addition, he tells his associate to dispose of the voodoo lady, Ol Rose. It was her voodoo magic that helped to kill Jules Reinhardt. He does as he is told, but not before the old woman casts two hexes on Buddy Lyle, insuring his death. The Scorpion confronts Lyle and his henchmen at the Manhattan Sky Port. Lyle has taken the Scorpion's assistant, Ruby, hostage, mistaking her for Mrs. Reinhardt. As the Scorpion battles Lyle and his henchman, the first hex begins to unfold. Lyle's pet cat, Caesar, is transformed into a man-eating lion. It strikes at Lyle and kills him instantly. The threat is ended when the Scorpion kills the beast in a hail of machine gun fire. Thinking the threat has ended, ruby informs the Scorpion that Jules Reinhardt's body has vanished from the funeral parlor. The second hex has taken form. The Scorpion heads to the Reinhardt home to find the zombie like body of Jules Reinhardt, attempting to kill his wife. Striking the creature again and again has no effect, so the Scorpion must resort to drastic measures. He unleashes a grenade and grabbing Mrs. Reinhardt, jumps from the balcony as the grenade obliterates Jules Reinhardt.

I couldn’t find a site with the first issue online, but Diversions of the Groovy Kind has scans of the second issue.

Moving to Marvel Comics, Chaykin revamped the concept and created a new character: Dominic Fortune. Because their outfits are similar, most see Dominic as just a continuation of The Scorpion, but a lot of things are different. The Scorpion’s vest was turned into a sort of “onesie” for Fortune, which also had a heart on the left breast. Fortune is not immortal and he operates in Hollywood, not New York. While he is a bit amoral, he doesn’t seem to be as hard-edged as The Scorpion. And he is a gambler, always in debt to his landlady, who operates the gambling ship he lives on. So he mainly is a “brigand for hire” to raise money for rent.

Fortune appeared in several of Marvel’s black & white magazines at the time, which allowed for the stories to be a little more hard-hitting for the period. First in “Marvel Preview” #2 (1975), “Marvel Super-Action” #1 (1976), then a series in the back of “Hulk Magazine” #21-25 (1980-81). The story intended for the unpublished “Marvel Super-Action” #2 was turned into a color comic and ran in “Marvel Premiere” #56 (1980). These were the only stories with involvement by Chaykin.

Later, Fortune was used by others in modern times, now as a geriatric. The less said, the better.

Finally, in 2009, Chaykin returned to Dominic Fortune, in a four-issue mini-series set in the 1930s, and apparently before his prior stories. Unlike those stories, the ethnic background of Fortune (we learn he is Jewish) is a big part of the story, as Fortune works to stop a fascist takeover of the United States.

More recently, Chaykin has used Fortune, along with other Marvel characters set in the 1950s, as part of the “Avengers 1959” group, a covert action team lead by Nick Fury before SHIELD was established. They first appeared in a backup series in “New Avengers” #10-13, and then their own mini-series “Avengers 1959.” The ending did leave an opening for another story, which might be interesting.

Marvel has put out a trade paperback that collects the Dominic Fortune mini, a webcomic of him (not by Chaykin), and his stories from “Marvel Preview” and “Marvel Premiere.” I wish they’d reprint the stories from “Hulk” magazine and “Marvel Super-Action,” which would be the rest of the Chaykin-created Dominic Fortune.

Overall, both characters are interesting, and anyone looking for original pulp style comics should check them out.Chaykin once told me at a Creation convention Dominic Fortune was a stupid character.

Dominic Fortune is a fictional comic book character, owned by Marvel Comics.

Created by Howard Chaykin and based on the Scorpion, Chaykin's character for the failed Atlas/Seaboard Comics company, Dominic Fortune is a 1930s costumed adventurer.

Publication historyEdit

Dominic Fortune was created for Marvel's Code-free black-and-white magazine line. His first two appearances occurred in 1975's Marvel Preview #2 (no more specific date given) and Marvel Super Action (one-shot magazine) #1 (January 1976). These stories were later reprinted in Marvel Preview #20 (Winter 1980).

A later run in the back pages of The Hulk (a full-color magazine, formerly the b/w Rampaging Hulk) #21 (June 1980)--24 (December 1980), written by Denny O'Neil with fully-painted artwork by Chaykin, included a promise from the editor that a special finale to that series would appear in issue #25. This story was left unpublished due to the dropping of color from the magazine and has yet to be seen anywhere. During this time, a further appearance occurred in Marvel Premiere #56 (October 1980), in a story plotted by Len Wein and laid out by Chaykin for the never-published Super-Action #2, and finished years later by David Michelinie and Terry Austin.

Subsequently, a senior citizen version of the character interacted with modern Marvel heroes in Marvel Team-Up #120 (August 1982), Web of Spider-Man #s 10 (January 1986) & 71 (December 1990)--72 (January 1991), and Iron Man (first volume) #212 (November 1986)--213 (December 1986), with no involvement by Chaykin, except for drawing the cover for Web of Spider-Man #10.

2006Edit

Sable and Fortune, a 2006 limited series saw the return of the name Dominic Fortune to published work. In that series a new version of Dominic Fortune joins forces with Silver Sable to stop the plans of traitors from within Silver Sable's own Wild Pack.

In the back of issue #1, editor John Barber states:Template:CquoteSable and Fortune was originally solicited as a six issue series, but was shortened to four after the first issue was released. The story that would have revealed this relationship was never printed.

Fictional character biographyEdit

Duvid "David" FortunovEdit

Born in New York City, Duvid Jerome Fortunov grew up on that city's Lower East Side during the Great Depression. After ratting out Olga Cimaglia, a powerful gangster, Fortunov relocated to California where he changed his name to Dominic Fortune. Living aboard the Mississippi Queen, a floating casino moored just outside of US territorial waters, Fortune set up shop as an acrobatic costumed adventurer. He also enjoyed a romantic relationship with the Mississippi Queen's owner Sabbath Raven with whom he shared many of his adventures.

In 1937, he uncovered a Nazi propaganda plot in the comic book industry. He also broke up a cult of zombies, thwarted Baron Strucker's attempted assassination of a U.S. senator, exposed the phony "child star" Tina Timmons, and rescued the British ambassador from the terrorist Dominic.^[1] In 1940, he was rejected as a subject for Project: Rebirth, but helped protect the man who was chosen, Steve Rogers, from Nazi agents.^[2]Later, his break up with Sabbath Raven, experiences during World War II, and later life were revealed.^[3]

After eventually retiring, Fortune returned to being Duvid Fortunov and established himself as a Pontiacsalesman in Nassau County, New York where he married and had two children. Retirement didn't suit him very well and he reclaimed his identity as Dominic Fortune more than once. The first time he came out of retirement, he battled Turner D. Century alongside Spider-Man.^[4] He began a search for Sabbath Raven, and alongside Spider-Man he battled the Shocker and Simon Steele.^[5] He later aided Iron Man in his battle with the Iron Monger. Fortune's son Jerry witnessed the battle and swore vengeance when he was incorrectly told that his father had been killed. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune, though he was killed by Simon Steele.^[6]

Now seeking vengeance for his son's murder, Dominic Fortune tracked Steele to New York where he was hiding aboard the aging remains of the Mississippi Queen along with a new Sabbath Raven. Fortune captured Steele with help from Spider-Man along with Silver Sable and her Wild Pack, and he was reunited with the original Sabbath Raven.^[5]

Jerry FortunovEdit

When Jerry Fortunov thought that his father had been killed, he swore vengeance on the Iron Monger. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune.

Jerry Fortunov's career as Dominic Fortune was short. Discovering that his father was alive Jerry, with help from Iron Man, attacked the estate of Simon Steele -- the current Iron Monger. Jerry was fatally injured in the battle, shot by Simon Steele, and died in his father's arms.

The InitiativeEdit

A new Dominic Fortune is being considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program, according to Civil War: Battle Damage Report.

Described as a Brigand-for-hire, this Dominic Fortune has also been shown to be working with a group of vigilantes, called the Vanguard.^[7]

Abilities and equipmentEdit

In his prime, David Fortunov was an athletic man. He was also a superb hand-to-hand combatant and excellent boxer, and an expert marksman and swordsman. In modern times, despite being in excellent physical condition for a man of his age, Dominic Fortune is still quite elderly.

Jerry Fortunov was less physically skilled than his father. He has a law school degree and is a skilled tax lawyer, however.

Dominic Fortune uses a variety of handguns, especially German "broomhandle" Mauser using 9 mm parabellum ammunition.

Publication historyEdit

Created by Howard Chaykin and based on the Scorpion, Chaykin's character for the failed Atlas/Seaboard Comicscompany,^[2] Dominic Fortune was originally a 1930s costumed, fortune-seeking adventurer.

He was part of Marvel's Comics Code-free black-and-white magazine line. His first two appearances occurred in Marvel Preview #2 (1975, no month) and Marvel Super Action #1 (January 1976), a one-shot magazine. These stories were later reprinted in Marvel Preview #20 (Winter 1980).

He next appeared as "Dominic Fortune, Brigand For Hire" as a backup feature in Hulk (a full-color magazine, formerly the b/w Rampaging Hulk) #21 - #25 (June 1980 - February 1981), written by Denny O'Neil with fully painted artwork by Chaykin. Issue #24 (December 1980) contains a short editorial to the effect that although the magazine was reverting to b/w from the following issue, this would be "with the exception of the Dominic Fortune strip which will be in color through its offbeat conclusion in issue #26." Despite this assertion, and an advertisement in issue #25 for a Dominic Fortune story in issue #26, issue #25's story, "Slay Bells", was the last published. Contemporaneously, Fortune appeared in Marvel Premiere #56 (October 1980), in a story plotted by Len Wein and laid out by Chaykin for the never-published Marvel Super-Action #2, and finished by David Michelinie and Terry Austin.

Subsequently, an elderly version of the character interacted with modern Marvel heroes in Marvel Team-Up #120 (August 1982), Web of Spider-Man #10 (January 1986), Iron Man (vol. 1) #212 - #213 (November 1986 - December 1986), and Web of Spider-Man #71 - #72 (December 1990 - January 1991), with no involvement from Chaykin beyond the cover for Web of Spider-Man #10. A flashback tale revealing Fortune's involvement with Captain America's origin appeared in Marvel Super Heroes (vol. 2) #3 (September 1990)

The next appearance of Dominic Fortune was in Sable and Fortune, a 4-issue limited series published in 2006, written by Brendan Cahill and painted by John Burns (issues #1-3) and Laurence McCubbin (#4). Originally solicited as a six-issue series, Sable and Fortune was shortened to four issues after issue #1 was released in March 2006. According to the letters page of #3 (May 2006) the four-part tale was unaffected; the last two issues would have been a separate story. He also appeared as a supporting character in Marvel Comics Presents (vol. 2) #5 - 12 (February 2008 - October 2008).

In June 2009, a six-part online-only digital comic Astonishing Tales: Dominic Fortune was published as part of Marvel Comics' digital initiative. Written by Dean Motter and drawn by Greg Scott, it featured Dominic Fortune in tales set during the 1930s. This was followed in October 2009 by a four-part miniseries published under Marvel's mature MAX imprint.^[3]Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin, this miniseries was also set in the 1930s.^[4]

In November 2009, Marvel Comics announced the release of a Dominic Fortune Trade Paperback book. The title reprints the 2009 MAX series and the digital Astonishing Tales: Dominic Fortune, along with the stories in Marvel Preview #2 andMarvel Premiere #56.

In 2010, Dominic Fortune was featured as a supporting character in the series Hawkeye & Mockingbird, which lasted for six issues. He subsequently appeared in the mini-series Widowmaker, which continued a storyline from Hawkeye & Mockingbird.

In 2011, Fortune appeared as part of the 1959 Avengers group in New Avengers Vol. 2, #10-13, followed by the five issue miniseries Avengers 1959.

In 2015, Fortune appeared in S.H.I.E.L.D. #11 in a story drawn by Chaykin.

Fictional character biographyEdit

Born in New York, Duvid Jerome Fortunov spent the 1920s until just after the Wall Street Crash in 1929 on New York City'sLower East Side "lying, cheating and stealing my way through life".^[5] During this time, he once saved a young Steve Rogers from a group of bullies.^[6] He worked as an escapist on Coney Island, but not having much luck at that, took up wing-walking and barnstorming.^[7] During this time, he pitched a few innings of Triple-A baseball in the Jewish leagues.^[8]Sometime after ratting out New York gangster Olga Cimaglia,^[9] Fortunov relocated to Los Angeles, California where he changed his name to Dominic Fortune and became a costumed adventurer for hire and a mercenary. By 1934 he was involved in the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay - fighting as a pilot for both sides before returning to Los Angeles, where he took a job guarding three "out of control and drunken" film stars.^[5] Trying to unravel a plot to kill him, he travelled to Berlin for the 1936 Olympic Games, and eventually foiled a plot by American Fifth Columnists to kill President Roosevelt and his wife and gain important funding from the Germans and Italians to support Nazi sympathisers in the U.S.^[10] Not long afterwards, he fell in with Sabbath Raven, the owner of the Mississippi Queen, a floating casino moored just outside US territorial waters, where he enjoyed a romantic relationship with her and they shared many of his adventures.

In 1937, in an adventure in Europe he encountered Dr. Doom's parents and later Captain America villains Baron Von Strucker and Baron Zemo and spent some time in Latveria and in Wakanda in Africa while foiling Nazi weapons intrigues involving the as-yet unnamed mineral Vibranium. Not long afterwards, having been evicted from his office, he began living aboard the Mississippi Queen at Sabbath's invitation.^[7] In that same year, he uncovered a Nazi propaganda plot in the comic book industry.^[11] He also broke up a cult of zombies,^[12] thwarted Baron Strucker's attempted assassination of a U.S. senator,^[13] exposed the phony "child star" Tina Timmons,^[14] and rescued the British ambassador from a terrorist.^[15]

In 1938, he prevented Jacob Einhorn, a property magnate, from selling U.S. secrets to the Japanese in exchange for land after their planned invasion.^[16] He also prevented silent movie star Noble Flagg and gangster Olga Cimaglia from taking over the LA underworld.^[17] In the spring, he met Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan and helped him save his circus from a group of thugs hired by the wealthy Spencer Keene.^[18]

Early in 1940, he defeated a group of Nazi saboteurs who had taken over the Dean Brothers Circus in Chicago.^[6] Later that same year, he foiled a Nazi plot to steal top secret plans from a munitions factory.^[19] In May, he lost contact with Sabbath Raven after an argument in a bar in Rotterdam just before the Nazi invasion of the city.^[20] After failing to find her, Fortune returned to the U.S.^[20] He was rejected as a subject for Project: Rebirth, but helped protect the man who was chosen,Steve Rogers (who would become Captain America) from Nazi agents.^[6] In 1942, he met the Sub-Mariner during theMurmansk Run.^[21] He returned to the war as a G.I. in 1943.^[20] In the final days of the war, Fortune was responsible for killing the leader of the Dark Ocean Society,^[22] After the war, he continued his search for Sabbath, but again failed.^[20]

In 1959, while in Paris, Fortune was recruited by Nick Fury to be a member of the "Avengers Initiative". This included working with Sabretooth, Ulysses Bloodstone and other still-extant Marvel characters.^[23] After helping to defeat a Neo-Nazi version of the Red Skull in Sweden, Fortune's criminal record was wiped clean.^[1]

Eventually, Fortune returned to America and resumed being David Fortunov. He established himself as a Pontiac salesman in Nassau County, New York (becoming 'Nassau County Champion Salesman' in 1965), where he married and had two children.^[24] He eventually retired to Restwell Nursing Home, NY after the death of his wife,^[25] but came out of retirement to battle Turner D. Century alongside Spider-Man,^[25] after which he vowed to take back up his search for Sabbath Raven. Some time after this he left the rest home, then alongside Spider-Man battled the Shocker, who was working for Simon Steele, an old adversary of Fortune's who he had been investigating in the hope of finding clues to the fate of Sabbath.^[26]

He later aided Iron Man in his battle with the Iron Monger,^[27] once again an employee of Simon Steele. Fortune's son Jerry witnessed the battle and, believing his father killed, swore revenge. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune,^[28] though after finding his father still alive he was killed by Steele, taking a shot meant for his father.^[29] Iron Man then informed Fortune that the Sabbath he had seen with Steele while in captivity was in fact Sabbath Raven's daughter Elena by Steele's brother (Sabbath's first husband) Heinrich von Lundt.^[30]

Seeking vengeance for his son's murder, with the help of Spider-Man, Dominic Fortune tracked Steele and the younger Sabbath Raven to New York,^[31] only to discover that Steele had married Fortune's Sabbath many years before. Eventually Fortune, Spider-Man and Silver Sable corner Steele hiding aboard the ageing remains of the Mississippi Queen and Fortune was reunited with the original Sabbath Raven.^[30]

In 1991, Fortune was in The Philippines for the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.^[22]

Later, Fortune found and replicated a flawed Super-Soldier serum that Mockingbird helped create. After ingesting it, he was de-aged and lost his memory for a short time.^[32]

In 2006, the newly de-aged Dominic Fortune joined forces with Silver Sable to stop the plans of traitors from within Silver Sable's own Wild Pack.^[33] At that time Fortune worked as a P.I., but was also shown to be working with a government black ops group called the Vanguard.^[34]

After he regained his memory and aged overnight, he decided to join Mockingbird's organization, the World Counter-terrorism Agency to stay close to her, making sure the Super-Soldier serum's creator was there to help him if the side-effects got worse.^[35]

In 2015, he was revealed to have again aged (although still younger than his actual 100+ years) and living back on board the Mississippi Queen, left to him by the deceased Sabbath Raven. He enlisted the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. field director Phil Coulson to help him reacquire the ship after losing it while gambling with Hydra agent Tug Freehand.^[8]

Jerry FortunovEdit

When Jerry Fortunov thought that his father had been killed,^[28] he swore vengeance on the Iron Monger. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune. Jerry Fortunov's career as Dominic Fortune was short. Discovering that his father was alive Jerry, with help from Iron Man, attacked the estate of Simon Steele. He was fatally injured in the battle, shot by Simon Steele, and died in his father's arms.^[29]

Abilities and equipmentEdit

In his prime, David Fortunov was an athletic man. He was also a superb hand-to-hand combatant and excellent boxer, and an expert marksman and swordsman. In modern times, despite his advanced age, David is in excellent physical condition and still retains much of his physical skills; he does, however, tire easily.

While less physically skilled than his father, Jerry Fortunov was a skilled tax lawyer with some training in marksmanship.

Dominic Fortune uses a variety of handguns, particularly the Mauser C96, using 9 mm parabellum ammunition.^{[citation needed]}

In other mediaEdit

Delroy Lindo was cast as Dominic Fortune in the pilot for Marvel's Most Wanted,^[36] a series that was not picked up by ABC and went unaired.^[37]

In the comic-book pages of2001, two sorts of genius collided

by Noel Murray

ADVENTURES IN LICENSING IS A MONTHLY COLUMN ABOUT THE ANCILLARY PRODUCTS OF MAJOR MOTION PICTURES: THE TOYS, GAMES, BOOKS, COMICS, SOUNDTRACKS, JUNK FOOD, AND ANYTHING ELSE STUDIOS HAVE USED, PAST OR PRESENT, TO SELL A MOVIE.

As the surge of elation sweeps through him, Moonwatcher shouts in victory and throws his weapon at the sky!! Higher and higher, it sails—aimed at the infinite where the countless stars wait for the coming of man… And, man comes to space!! Across the agonizing ages he follows the destiny bequeathed to him by the monolith.

That’s Jack Kirby, translating one of the most famous match cuts in cinema history into comic-book captions in the 1976 Marvel Treasury edition of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The words are singularly inelegant—quintessentially Kirby. When comics connoisseurs and pop-culture scholars talk about Kirby, they tend to downplay his prose style, which is so funky that newcomers often find him unreadable. Kirby is hailed instead for his impact on the development of the medium—not just as the co-creator of Captain America, the Fantastic Four, and others, but as an innovator in bringing higher-toned, philosophical science-fiction to the comic-book page. Kirby was an innovator as an artist as well, experimenting with stunning splash pages and mixing photographs into drawn panels. There’s no mistaking a Kirby character, all thick-lined and grimacing, posed in a crouching stance, with one foreshortened arm extending toward the reader, dwarfed by intricate, multi-piped, visibly crackling technology. Yet Kirby the pop artist, Kirby the cosmic dreamer, and Kirby the accidental Beat poet—these were all the same guy, and it’s unlikely that any one of them could’ve existed without the others.

Kirby’s friend and biographer Mark Evanier writes in Kirby: King Of Comics that Kirby’s dialogue “did to linguistics what his art had always done to the rules of anatomy and physics.” In his early career, Kirby worked alongside writer Joe Simon, who favored artless directness in his dialogue and captions. And when Kirby moved to Marvel Comics in his middle age, he worked with (and sometimes against) writer-editor Stan Lee, who preferred showmanship and grandeur. When Kirby became a writer-artist-editor, he fused those styles, combining florid excess with a leave-nothing-unarticulated bluntness. The result was an overdressed word-salad, with slangy phrases and grandiose proclamations tossed together indiscriminately. Evanier says that reading Kirby’s writing is a lot like having conversations with him. “He had a tendency to ramble from topic to topic, leaping about and leaving one sentence unfinished while he began three others.”

The director of the movie 2001 had aesthetic quirks of his own. Stanley Kubrick already had a reputation as one of the great American filmmakers before he collaborated with science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke on 2001: A Space Odyssey. But coming on the heels of the cultural phenomenon that was 1964’s Dr. Strangelove—and after a four-year layoff in which there was a fair amount of media speculation about his big, secret science-fiction project—2001 clarified that Kubrick was one of a kind. Thereafter, every film Kubrick made would be an event, in part because he made so few, in part because he kept himself out of the public eye, and in part because the films themselves were so unusual, and so densely packed.

Kubrick still had his doubters, in the critical corps and the general public. But even the skeptics operated under the presumption that Kubrick knew what he was doing, even when it came to the performances in his films, which tended to be either flat or histrionic. People who worked with Kubrick behind the camera insist he was much friendlier and more communicative than his reputation for inscrutability allows. But actors frequently describe a different Kubrick, who gave them very little instruction and had them do so many takes that they lost a lot of the nuances of a scene. Over time, educated filmgoers grew accustomed to the acting in Kubrick’s films, as well as to the somnambulant pacing, which also hamstrung his actors by pumping a lot of dead air between their lines. But for those unaccustomed to Kubrick, there can be some dissonance, not unlike what novice comics fans experience when reading a Kirby book for the first time.

The first time I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, I lacked the experience to understand what I was watching. I would’ve been about 13, and watching the film on TV after hearing for years that it was the greatest science-fiction movie of all time—a strong endorsement to a geekling like me, who came of age in the Star Wars era. I’d already read Clarke’s novel, which is more plot- and character-driven than the movie, so I understood what was happening on the relatively tiny screen in our family room. I just misinterpreted the how and why of it. I presumed the slowness of 2001 was due to the viewers of 1968 being overly impressed by the special effects. I read the film as dated, because I didn’t have enough awareness of Kubrick, 1968, or the contemporaneous critical reaction to 2001 to know any better.

In an essay in the back of the Marvel Treasury adaptation of 2001, writer David Anthony Kraft talks about seeing the movie in its original run, and describes feeling let down by it for many of the same reasons as I was. And Kraft wasn’t alone in his bafflement. 2001 weathered a wave of high-profile pans from film critics who found it pretentious and presumptuous. Kraft suggests that a lot of those critics were annoyed that Kubrick would spend so much time and money on a genre as juvenile as science fiction, which at the time was usually the stuff of drive-ins and Saturday matinees. SF fans rallied around the film, though, as did young people drawn to the psychedelic interludes and highbrow spiritual inquiry. Word of mouth and repeat business kept2001 in theaters for a lengthy run, which led to more conversations and reconsiderations. Kraft himself went back several times, and eventually changed his mind. “The actual theme of the story is quite passé in printed science fiction,” he writes. “It is his transcendent mastery of the medium that makes Kubrick’s film stand out.”

That sentence could serve as a critique of the comic-book pages that precede it. Kirby wrote, drew, and served as his own editor on Marvel’s2001 adaptation (with inks by Frank Giacoia and coloring by Marie Severin), but doesn’t bring much personal feeling or “transcendent mastery of the medium” to the Treasury. He really doesn’t vary much from the basic plot that Kubrick and Clarke originally hashed out together. Kubrick came to Clarke with an idea for a first-contact story, imagining a mysterious, godlike alien race that has guided human evolution from the time of the apes to the early stages of space exploration. Borrowing elements from a couple of Clarke’s short stories—most notably “The Sentinel”—2001 begins with a tribe of ape-men encountering a mysterious black monolith that helps them learn to fashion weapons. Then the movie jumps ahead to the discovery of a similar monolith on the moon, which sends mankind on an expedition to Jupiter. There, another monolith opens up into a stargate and transports one astronaut into a plane beyond conventional human understanding, where he’s reborn as a “star child.”

Clarke’s book—written while the movie was in production, and released around the same time—shades in some human details, telling the story through the eyes of its few major characters, describing what they think and how they feel. Kubrick eschews all that, choosing to keep dialogue and explanations to a minimum. (According to Kraft, Kubrick scrapped a planned narration that would’ve placed the film more in the realm of docu-realism, in line with his The Killing, Paths Of Glory, and Dr. Strangelove.) The only section of Kubrick’s 2001that’s conventionally audience-friendly is the third, in which the two Jupiter-bound astronauts, David Bowman (played by Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood), discover that the super-intelligent computer aboard their ship Discovery, HAL 9000, has become conflicted about the secrecy of their mission, and is responding by trying to kill all the humans on board.

Coincidentally, the third section of the movie also contains an image that’s remarkably Kirby-like. When Dave enters the Discovery’s computer center to “kill” HAL, he’s shot from below, looking like one of Kirby’s iconic superhumans. As an artist, Kirby made sense for2001, because he excelled at drawing futuristic technology and he thought in widescreen. Visually, the 2001 Marvel Treasury is a thing of beauty, with the oversized format (10 by 14 inches rather than than the more common 7.25 by 10.5) suiting Kirby’s preference for big panels and two-page splashes. Kirby borrows some compositions directly from the film, but he adds his own dynamic poses and granite faces. He gives a somewhat stately film a jolt of Kirby electricity.

But when he tries to do the same with his words, the Marvel Treasury fails—and spectacularly, too. Kubrick purposefully chose silence for his 2001, while Clarke simply and understatedly provided more backstory in his novel. Kirby, on the other hand, explains and exclaims throughout the comic-book version, adding dialogue when none is needed, and narrating every moment with the remedial tone of a grade-school history primer.

In his book The Weirdest Sci-Fi Comic Ever Made, Julian Darius writes, “It’s hard to overstate just how ill-suited Jack Kirby was to such material,” referring to the disconnect between Kubrick’s subtlety and Kirby’s boldness. And Darius isn’t just talking about the Marvel Treasury. Later in 1976, Marvel started publishing an ongoing series based on 2001. Kirby again served as writer, artist, and editor, with inks and lettering by Mike Royer, Kirby’s best 1970s collaborator. The series only lasted 10 issues, and changed its focus dramatically between #1 and #10. For the first four issues—encompassing three stories—Kirby repeats the arc of the movie over and over, with new characters. Each story begins in a prehistoric era, jumps ahead to the future, and ends with the hero transformed into a star child by a monolith. Issues #5 and #6 begin in the year 2040, and tell the story of a fan of superhero comics who gets to live out his fantasies. Issue #7 follows a star child as it journeys through the universe, witnessing humanity at its best and worst. And issues #8 through #10 introduce a robot originally dubbed “X-51,” who gains consciousness and becomes a superhero named “Mister Machine” (called Machine Man in further Marvel adventures).

Darius gives Kirby his due as an artist, acknowledging that in a way, the trippy existentialism of Kirby’s 2001 comics are truer to Kubrick’s vision than Clarke’s later sequel novels to 2001 (and the one sequel movie, 2010), which are more about answering questions. But mostly,The Weirdest Sci-Fi Comic picks apart Kirby’s work on this series, mocking its drifting focus and its dogged adherence to a few superficial elements of the movie: the monolith, the star child, etc. Darius also notes—rightly—that Kirby misses an obvious link to the film when he fails to connect the story of X-51 with the story of HAL, which for many viewers is the true heart of 2001, in that HAL’s confusion gets at what constitutes “consciousness.”

But Darius’ multiple knocks against Kirby for ignoring or circumventing the movie’s continuity misses the bigger picture of what this comic is. To understand Jack Kirby’s 2001, it’s necessary to understand Jack Kirby’s 1976.

For Kirby, 1976 was a year of transition in a career that saw multiple major changes since he started work in the mid-1930s, while still in his teens. Kirby and Joe Simon co-created Captain America for Timely Comics (a predecessor of Marvel) in the 1940s, then worked together at Harvey after World War II, before Kirby moved to DC in the mid-1950s, at a time when his style was falling out of favor with editors for being too distinctive, and not generic enough. Kirby returned to the former Timely (then called Atlas), where Stan Lee hyped him as “King” Kirby, and made his characters and his approach to comics storytelling the foundation for “the Marvel Age of comics.” But Lee ended up getting the lion’s share of the credit—and money—for what he and Kirby created, so at the end of the 1960s, Kirby jumped back to DC again with much fanfare, and was given free rein to develop an intricate, multi-title mythology he dubbed “The Fourth World.” Sales were sluggish, and the inevitable editorial interference drove Kirby back to Marvel, in a move that was announced in 1975, again with a lot of hoopla. In some ways, Kirby was more respected in his field when he tackled 2001 in 1976 than Kubrick was in 1968—even though Kirby was ultimately less successful. Critics initially scoffed at Kubrick, but audiences turned out for his 2001, while Kirby in the 1970s was regarded as the best in the business by people who didn’t actually buy his comics.

As for why Marvel was even bothering with an adaptation of 2001 eight years after the movie came out, that had to do with the changing culture of comics circa 1976. By the mid-1970s, a more organized fandom—having launched conventions and fanzines to share their knowledge and enthusiasms—was letting publishers know that the same adults who read J.R.R. Tolkien, watched Star Trek, and obsessed over Kubrick’s film were also still reading comics, and were interested in a more mature approach to the medium.

Kirby’s 2001 was not that comic. To some extent, it was a victim of bad timing, debuting a few months before Star Wars mania hit (spawning its own popular Marvel comics adaptation and ongoing series) and a few months before Heavy Metal magazine started building an American audience for adult-oriented science-fiction comics. The2001 comic also caught Kirby at a low creative ebb. He’d poured a lot of himself into his Fourth World saga for DC, without much to show for it, and by the time he returned to Marvel, Kirby was back to thinking of himself as a hired gun, sweating to fill as many pages as his bosses required, governed by the mentality of a boy who grew up in a ghetto during the Depression. Where Kubrick was a meticulous planner, taking years to develop a project and fussing over every detail, Kirby was a disorganized workaholic, who according to his wife Roz would accidentally throw away about half the good ideas he scrawled onto notepaper and napkins, and who felt like he was on the verge of destitution if he didn’t generate at least 20 pages a week.

Much of what made Kirby’s work so one-of-a-kind resulted from his breakneck pace. The larger panels and the comics that begin in the middle of the action—as though an entire issue is missing—let Kirby work quicker, and not sweat whether everything made sense. There’s a stream-of-consciousness quality to Kirby’s storytelling. This is a man who once created an entire comics series for DC—one of his best,Kamandi: The Last Boy On Earth—based on what he imagined thePlanet Of The Apes movies were about, not based on any close reading. With the 2001 series, he took what was meaningful to him about the source material and just riffed on it, dwelling on the persistent struggle of human beings to believe that they’re improving and working toward a higher purpose—something Kirby likely thought about a lot in the 1970s.

Deifying artists does them a disservice. As the documentary Room 237shows, some folks get so caught up in the notion of Stanley Kubrick as an infallible genius that even his bum notes get explained away as part of a master plan, rather than the result of mere human error (or, more charitably, mere humanity). For all the focus on 2001’s groundbreaking special effects—which are still impressive in the way they conjure the axis-bending physics of weightlessness, 45 years before Gravity—and all the arguments over the movie’s deeper meaning, it’s easy to overlook how wonderfully wry the film is, as Kubrick’s films so often are. 2001 depicts one of the grandest moments in the history of humankind, and the actual humans involved are studying zero-gravity toilet instructions after consuming tubes of hot food-paste, gathering officiously in boardrooms to look at slideshows, and receiving messages from home about their lingering pay disputes. It’s these odd little touches that refute the popular take that Kubrick’s films are chilly intellectual exercises. There’s a lot of his own personal bemusement over human folly filling the periphery.

On a featurette included on the 2001 Blu-ray, James Cameron says, “It’s the ideas behind the spectacle that are still the most important special effect of all.” But the people behind those ideas matter, too. It’s not essential to know how Kubrick’s fascinations with avant-garde film and music influenced 2001, or to focus on how a mid-1960s conception of computers and technology affected the character of HAL, who’s like an elaborate version of one of those early chess-playing robots. But it does recontextualize 2001 to think of it as the product of an individual, working in concert with other individuals, none of them delivering messages from on high. And for all the angry letters Marvel received (and, to its credit, published) from 2001 fans who felt Kirby was besmirching their favorite film, it helps to remember the pressures that Kirby was under at the time, internally and externally, and to see the 10 issues and one tabloid edition of his 2001 as the product of a scatterbrained genius grappling with his own relevance. Kubrick and Kirby—these were both just people, grasping at something just beyond them, while planting guideposts for others to follow.

2001: A Space Odyssey was the name of an American oversized comic book adaptation of the 1968 film of the same name as well as a monthly series, lasting ten issues, which expanded upon the concepts presented in the Stanley Kubrick film and the novel by Arthur C. Clarke. Jack Kirbywrote and pencilled both the adaptation and the series, which were published by Marvel Comics beginning in 1976. The adaptation was part of the agreement of Kirby's return to Marvel.

Treasury editionEdit

Marvel published the adaptation in its then-common treasury edition format featuring tabloid-sized pages of roughly twice the size of a normal comic book.^[1]^[2] The story is a close adaptation of the events of the film, but differs in the fact that Kirby incorporated additional dialog from two other sources: the Clarke/Kubrick novel,^[3] and a copy of an earlier draft script of the film that included the more colloquial-sounding version of HAL 9000, as originally voiced by actor Martin Balsam before Douglas Rain took over. In addition, the comic narrative captions describe the characters' thoughts and feelings, a significantly different approach from that taken by the film.

The treasury edition also contained a 10-page article entitled "2001: A Space Legacy" written by David Anthony Kraft.

Monthly seriesEdit

Shortly after the publication of the treasury edition, Kirby continued to explore the concepts of 2001 in a monthly comic book series of the same name, the first issue of which was dated December 1976.^[4] In this issue, Kirby followed the pattern established in the film. Once again the reader encounters a prehistoric man ("Beast-Killer") who gains new insight upon encountering a monolith as did Moon-Watcher in the film. The scene then shifts, where a descendant of Beast-Killer is part of a space mission to explore yet another monolith. When he finds it, this monolith begins to transform the astronaut into a star child, called in the comic a "New Seed".^[5]

Issues #1–6 of the series replay the same idea with different characters in different situations, both prehistoric and futuristic. In #7 (June 1977), the comic opens with the birth of a New Seed who then travels the galaxy witnessing the suffering that men cause each other. While the New Seed is unable or unwilling to prevent this devastation, he takes the essence of two doomed lovers and uses it to seed another planet with the potential for human life.^[5]

In issue #8 (July 1977), Kirby introduces Mister Machine, who is later renamed Machine Man.^[6] Mister Machine is an advanced robot designated X-51. All the other robots in the X series go on a rampage as they achieve sentience and are destroyed. X-51, supported by both the love of his creator Dr. Abel Stack and an encounter with a monolith, transcends the malfunction that destroyed his siblings. After the death of Dr. Stack, X-51 takes the name Aaron Stack and begins to blend into humanity.^[7] Issues #9 and 10, the final issues of the series, continue the story of X-51 as he flees destruction at the hands of the Army.

Kirby by then,despite his high enthusiasm for movie and product,reproduced a dull adaptation.His art dull and the series after was nothing by an over the hill brand lf indulgence crap,where he resorted to tired old tricks that failed him in his much,much overated Fourth World Saga.At the I remember it was much panned by fans.
