Mumm-Ra
Mumm-Ra is a fictional supervillain and the main antagonist of the '' ThunderCats'' franchise.

Native to the planet of Third Earth, Mumm-Ra's goal is to destroy the ThunderCats and ensure his world remains under his control. 1985 series During development of the show, while the creators were looking for various names for the main villain character, nothing sounded "evil" enough; not until Haim Saban suggested to use Mummia Raa (מומי רעה – "A Bad Mummy" in Hebrew). It was shortened to Mumm-Ra. The demon sorcerer Mumm-Ra is the self-proclaimed "ever-living source of evil" on Third Earth, possessed of powers of sorcery and an ageless lifespan.

Lich
In fantasy fiction, a lich (; from the Old English , meaning "corpse") is a type of undead creature. Various works of fantasy fiction, such as Clark Ashton Smith's "The Empire of the Necromancers" (1932), had used ''lich'' as a general term for any corpse, animated or inanimate, before the term's specific use in fantasy role-playing games. The more recent use of the term ''lich'' for a specific type of undead creature originates from the 1976 ''Dungeons & Dragons'' role-playing game booklet ''Greyhawk'', written by Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz. Often such a creature is the result of a willful transformation, as a powerful wizard skilled in necromancy who seeks eternal life uses rare substances in a magical ritual to become undead. Unlike zombies, which are often depicted as mindless, liches are sapient, retaining their previous intelligence and magical abilities. Liches are often depicted as holding power over lesser undead soldiers and servants. Historical background ''Lich' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mummy (undead)
Mummies are commonly featured in horror genres as undead creatures wrapped in bandages. Similar undead include skeletons and zombies. History The mummy genre has its origins in the 19th century when Egypt was being colonized by France and, subsequently, by Victorian Britain. The first living mummies in fiction were mostly female, and they were presented in a romantic and sexual light, often as love interests for the protagonist; this metaphorically represented the sexualized Orientalism and the colonial romanticization of the East. Notable examples of this trend include '' The Mummy's Foot'' by Théophile Gautier, ''The Jewel of Seven Stars'' by Bram Stoker, ''The Ring of Thoth'' by Arthur Conan Doyle, '' She: A History of Adventure'' and ''Smith and the Pharaohs'' by H. Rider Haggard, ''My New Year's Eve Among the Mummies'' by Grant Allen, ''The Unseen Man's Story'' by Julian Hawthorne, and ''Iras: A Mystery'' by H. D. Everett; the latter actually has the protagonist marry a m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
