Manhunters (DC Comics)
The Manhunters are a fictional race of extraterrestrial robots that appear in titles published by DC Comics. Publication history The broader history behind the alien robot species covered in this article was introduced in ''Justice League of America'' #140 (March 1977), in a story by Steve Englehart and Dick Dillin. Fictional character biography Interstellar police The Manhunters are the first attempt of the Guardians of the Universe to create an interstellar police force that could combat evil all over the cosmos. Their name and much of their code of behavior is modeled by the Guardians of the Universe on the Martian Manhunter, Manhunters of Ma'aleca'andra (Mars) millions of years ago (This creates an apparent chronology problem, since the Manhunters were created many millions of years ago, while the Green Martian race were retconned as having come into existence from the Burning Martians only about 20,000 years ago.) For thousands of years, they serve the Guardians well. Howev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zamaron
The Zamarons are a fictional extraterrestrial race published by DC Comics. They were first introduced in ''Green Lantern'' (vol. 2) #16 (October 1962), and were created by John Broome and Gil Kane. Fictional species biography The Zamarons were the female members of the race known as the Maltusians. When the renegade Maltusian scientist Krona performed a forbidden experiment that had terrible effects on the whole universe, the male Maltusians (now called Oans, the race having settled the planet Oa) argued about how to deal with the situation. One group of Maltusians decided to dedicate their eternal existences to contain evil; this group fractured into the Guardians of the Universe and the Controllers. The females, however, saw no need to involve themselves and, since the Oans were by then immortal and had no more need to reproduce, left their mates and became known as the Zamarons (a near-anagram of Amazons). After billions of years, the Zamarons, Guardians and Controllers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Secret Origin
Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups who do not have the "need to know", perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. Secrecy is often controversial, depending on the content or nature of the secret, the group or people keeping the secret, and the motivation for secrecy. Secrecy by government entities is often decried as excessive or in promotion of poor operation; excessive revelation of information on individuals can conflict with virtues of privacy and confidentiality. It is often contrasted with social transparency. Secrecy can exist in a number of different ways: encoding or encryption (where mathematical and technical strategies are used to hide messages), true secrecy (where restrictions are put upon those who take part of the message, such as through government security classification) and obfuscation, where secrets are hidden in plain sight behind complex idiosyncrati ...
