Araǵanaqlta’a from Aregentinian folklore.

The Araǵanaqlta’a is described as a giant, multicolored snake, measuring 10 meters or more, akin to a bushmaster or fer-de-lance. Sporting a distinctive red crest, known as its "sign" (ndage), atop its head, it also features sawlike structures on its body for movement. The creature's tail terminates in two hooks, skillfully employed for grasping prey. In Toba folklore, the female counterparts are referred to as araganaqlate’e, signifying the mother of the snakes.

The Araǵanaqlta’a are shape-shifters, seamlessly adapting to their surroundings. They may appear as four-legged snakes, humans dressed in elegant business attire, or even rheas with vibrant necks. Regardless of the form, the characteristic ndage on the creature's head remains, serving as its unmistakable identifier as a powerful mythical being.

The Araǵanaqlta’a display intelligence and take pleasure in engaging with human conversation. They mete out punishment to those who disrespect nature and harm snakes but bestow rewards upon those deemed worthy. In a notable instance, a hunter, having shown respect and deference, received a promise from the Araǵanaqlta’a for abundance and was taught the art of healing the sick through the power of words.

there is a low hum that leaves him before crossing his arms . ganondorf toba dragmire huh ? been a moment since he has spoken to the king . his majesty must be busy with ruling the kingdom but his thoughts about the man have remained mostly the same . perplexed . was it because of ray's knowledge of ganondorfs from the past ? he isn't sure , past ganondorfs could be cruel ; some had actions there were justifiable for their means ⸻ yet toba held him close once & told him that he is not just a weapon . he is an individual such as himself . that the action of being a weapon does not define him . they stood there together intertwined in each other's arm for such a soft , demure moment that if one walked in on them ⸺one might think them lovers .

clearly , he was wrong . he is a weapon . but his cheeks flush a touch .

❝ ganondorf has been nothing but kind to me . his majesty ... sees me in way that i do not see myself . it confuses me ⸺ i don't understand why but i shall not question my king ... but if i may speak freely : i think him a bit too ... comfortable in his position . nine hundred years of ruling without major threat does do that to a king ... ❞ a small pause as he thinks . ❝ suppose that only proves that our late zelda was correct to entrust him with the kingdom . hylia rest her soul . ❞

Spiral Empire - The Chie

Here is the introduction of the first of the three main civilisations from my sci fi novel, the titular Spiral Empire itself.  Please read my prologue/backstory first.

Thanks again to ZU’s Fanfic to Original Fiction pipeline thread!

The Spiral Empire, home of the Chie The Spiral Empire itself started life as Timothy Zahn's "Empire of the Hand", an offshoot of the Galactic Empire led by Grand Admiral Thrawn, but later, added elements of Star Trek's Federation, with some real world inspirations, including British Commonwealth constitutional monarchy, and Scandinavian-style socialism. ****** Origins One of the colony ships racing to reach "New Earth" in the Alpha Centauri system was called the CANZUK, and was mostly comprised of between 200 000 - 300 000 colonists from the 4 countries of the proposed real life CANZUK trade organization -- Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Its Captain was actually a distant (fictional) cousin of the British Commonwealth's Royal Family, Captain Albert Windsor. He wasn't a very high-ranking royal to begin with (no title), and had been pretty much ignored by his family due to his Autism, but that same diagnosis, combined with his Royal Navy experience, made him ideal to captain the CANZUK, and along with the rest of his small, autistic crew of about 10, to stay awake during the entire expected 50 year journey to Alpha Centauri (or, at least, as long as he would live). After being sucked in by the "Planet Nine" wormhole (again, that may be a specific I have to change), one of the colony ships was spat out right into the path of solar flare. The flare knocked out the computer systems running the colonists' hibernation pods (nicknamed 'cryo-sleep' despite the fact that no one is actually frozen). For the crew, still recovering from the unexpected trip through the wormhole, it was now a race against time to get as many pods as possible opened up manually, and save the colonists before they suffocated. Captain Windsor made the difficult decision to prioritize waking the most "vital" people -- those who would be able to wake up and help with the current situation -- first. So he and the crew rushed to wake doctors and other medical personnel, engineers and scientists and their immediate families first, all the while the pilot struggled to keep the ship flying, and the chief engineer tried to buy the pods more time. As the situation grew more dire, they started waking any colonists they could reach with skills that could be useful to start life on a new world, like farmers, teachers, and as many kids as they could. Even with the help of the awakened colonists, they were only able to save about 3000-5000 people. I chose this number based on the Toba Catastrophe theory, which proposes that the human population reached as low as 1000-10000 individuals about 75 000 years ago after the eruption of a supervolcano and subsequent volcanic winter lasting about a decade. It's also a little more than the lowest number of humans required to maintain a viable population. To put this into perspective, my high school had about 2000 students. Most sports stadiums can hold a lot more. As far as the survivors were concerned, they were all that was left of humanity. Because of the prioritizing criteria that was used, a lot of the survivors, like the crew, were either autistic themselves (a *lot* of engineers/scientists are on the spectrum, whether they've been formally diagnosed or not), or had a higher than average chance of having autistic kids themselves. Autism is something that runs in families. In that way, it's like the Force. I have it, my son has it, members of my extended family have it, and I'm pretty sure my grandfather -- an electrical engineer -- has it as well. Fast forward 500 years, and you have a society where the majority of people are Autistic. Therefore, that is what is normal and expected in their society, and over time, the CANZUK survivors' descendants build their new civilisation accordingly. It's the people our world considers "neurotypical" who are considered disabled in theirs. The Chie themselves For the first time, Autistic people were free to build their own society, one largely free from the social expectations of neurotypical humans. Over time, they began to blame the old attitudes of humanity-that-was for the over-exploitation of Earth to begin with, for allowing greed and inaction to ruin the old planet. The survivors of the CANZUK and their descendants decided to learn from those mistakes, but still distance themselves from the past. Over time, they rejected the term "human" all together, and claimed a new name: "Chie". This is derived from the concepts of "chii" or "ki" = energy, and illustrated their determination to build a new society, free from the bad habits of the old. though they did develop their own traditions. By the present day of my novel, it's considered customary for Chie to have their ears surgically pointed when they discover their "talent" -- the intense, autistic special interest they develop into a career path. They chose pointed ears to symbolically become closer to fictional "better" species, like Elves or Vulcans, and further reject the old. Some Chie even choose genetic engineering, so their kids will be born with already-pointed ears, though this isn't a very common practice just yet. Also, the name "Chie" sounds more like a cool alien race, rather than the medical, clinical language surrounding autism. They're not "disabled". From their way of thinking, they're the evolution of humanity. Because of their Autistic bluntness, their hyperfixation on their special interests (which usually are their jobs), and their distain for old Earth, Chie can come across as arrogant to citizens of the other two human civilisations. The reality is, however, that Chie are just as varied as any other group of humanity. Geography The survivors of the CANZUK found themselves in a solar system with a single orange star, slightly smaller and cooler than our sun. They only planet within the star's habitable zone was a gas giant, a beautiful world that looked like a swirling, blue and white marble, with an enormous ring system that put Saturn's to shame. The planet was at first called "Newton", keeping with what would be the Chie's habit of naming places after famous scientists, but because of its beautiful swirling clouds and rings, it wouldn't be long before it's known by a more suitable name, "Spiral". Luckily, orbiting that gas giant are two moons, one about the size of Venus, another the size of Mars, each with oxygen/nitrogen mix atmospheres. With a little research, it's determined they are suitable for colonization, and the larger of the two moons, with a more temperate overall climate, is chosen. That first moon turns out to have a biosphere about equivalent to Earth's late Cretaceous period, with similar (though obviously not identical) lifeforms. The colonists choose an oceanside area, with a large hill further from the shore, to colonize first (similar to to the lakeside "lower city" and community on top of the "mountain" - the Niagara Escarpment - that makes up the geography of Hamilton, Ontario.) This becomes the capital city (still thinking of a name), of the moon Galileo. The second moon is almost entirely covered by ice sheets, except for temperate zone near the equator, where deciduous forests grow. It's not settled until about a century later. Still, winters there are long and hard, but the residents of the mostly underground city, Winterpeg, on the moon Darwin, take it as a point of pride. (I'm basing it on Winnipeg, Manitoba, obviously, combined with the PATH system in Toronto). Life on Galileo and Darwin shares a common origin, but it is unclear as to on which moon exactly that took place. Still, both worlds could be considered "island ecosystems" in a greater whole. Spiral itself is always visible from both the capital on Galileo, and Winterpeg on Darwin. Both moons are tidally locked so that one side always faces the planet (like most gas giant moons, and Luna, in the Sol System). It makes for an absolutely astonishing night sky. Something akin to this (only without the ugly foreground):

With further understanding of wormholes and innovations in spaceship design and use, Chie began venturing beyond their own solar system shortly before re-establishing contact with the other two human civilisations. Most by the novel's present day, there are two notable "colonies" (though one is more described as a "member-province") beyond the Spiral Solar System. One is Erebus, the aforementioned home of the alien race known as the Dragons, who chose to join the Spiral Empire, as protection from the Confederacy (as will be described in more detail in the Dragons' section). The second is the (name undecided) colony, little more than a small town, that suffered the attack from the bio-weapon. Chie Sociology/Economy The CANZUK survivors felt immense guilt for being unable to save their shipmates. While the ship itself serves as a "tomb" of sorts for the pods at first, after the colony is more established, they build an actual pyramid and transfer the pods/coffins to Galileo over time. This cultural guilt evolves into a sense of responsibility to all survivors, and their descendants. They are all "shipmates", and shipmates don't let shipmates suffer unnecessarily. This, combined with the increased empathy common to Autistic people, makes for a very socialist society. While money does exist, it's considered something for "extras". All peoples' basic needs are accounted for. Basic food, housing and water is provided for everyone, as well as education and medical care. There is no homelessness, no hunger, and very little crime, with a decent standard of living maintained for all, the same as crewmates on a space ship would have. On the flip side, there are no billionaires, and no "mega-corps". Larger companies are possible, but they are highly regulated by the Crown, with strong unions to ensure fair treatment of their workforces (though with Chie mentality, that's more a holdover from older ways of doing things than really necessary). Automation of mundane, boring tasks is also common, so that Chie are free to pursue their own interests, without economic pressure to take on jobs they won't enjoy just to pay the bills. Chie value information, and the ability to pursue their interests unimpeded, over material gains, so there simply isn't the greed for "stuff" that there was on Earth. Or for social status. Most Chie could not possibly care less what the "Joneses" are doing, so feel little to no societal pressure to "keep up to them". If someone wants a bigger house, for example, than what is usually provided, they can either save up their currency and buy one, or petition the local government, listing why they *need* a bigger place. Most Chie live in apartment/townhouse complexes, usually 4-6 high rise buildings surrounding a central courtyard, with community gardens, playgrounds, a swimming pool, and indoor facilities like gyms, playrooms, and of course libraries, common and free to all residents to use. Small businesses like shops and restaurants prefer to be within walking distance of a number of these communities. Groceries and other necessities are often delivered. Most Chie do not own their own vehicles, unless they need them for work. Roads subsequently tend to be small, with cycling (adult tricycles are popular) and walking common, and great public transportation options, consisting of train/subway networks in-city. Some trains also service outlying communities, though another method of transportation is more common (see below). The only ground-vehicles you're likely to see in a Chie city are electric business trucks/vans, emergency response vehicles, bookmobiles, and the occasional bus. With a gas giant planet, literally a giant ball of mostly hydrogen, within figurative arms' reach, the Chie economy is based on hydrogen, a relatively clean fuel source, also useful in nuclear fusion as the main power source for a lot of their spaceships. A lot of wind, hydro, and geothermal-based electricity is generated as well. Things like plastics are made of carefully farmed, plant-based materials (often agricultural waste), and are therefore biodegradable. Coal and Oil only exists in a few museum samples, as curios and warnings, with Chie children often wondering why these dirty, gross geological specimens were considered so important in the first place. Gas giants also have a high concentration of atmospheric helium, and the Chie were quick to take advantage. Airships are a common sight on Galileo, with Zeppelins being the most common transportation system both for people and cargo between the often far-flung cities. Even modern airships can carry far more than a standard transport truck and travel at similar, if not faster, speeds. Subsequently, Galileo does *not* have highways. They don't need them. Airship "cruise liners" are also popular, being far cleaner than their ocean-going equivalents, and offering great views of the many beautiful, untouched natural landscapes of the moon, with little to no disturbance of the wildlife therein. Chie have a strong conservationist culture, and are tend to be highly empathic towards animals. Factory farms don't exist, and most Chie, if they do eat meat, prefer the lab-grown kind. Pets are popular, both from imported Earth species, and the friendlier/smaller species of native animals. Habitat destruction for resources on the scale found on old Earth is simply unthinkable, as is animal poaching. The Chie education system is built around encouraging a child's special interests (of which they can have several over time), and encouraging them to build a career path around them. Universal pre-K childcare is a given. Grade school kids are encouraged in a rounded education, with the special interests often playing into their lessons (like a kid interested in trains would be taught to read, using books on trains, for example). A student's special interests will be tracked over time, and guidance councilors will take into account what they might all have in common when making recommendations to students. Secondary school students enjoy at least 4 semesters of mentor/apprenticeship programs where they can try out different career paths in small groups of no more than 5 students, during their second last and final years, often in exciting fields like spending a semester on a nature expedition. This practical experience helps them decide on their college/university educations, again which are universal, at no cost to the student. Co-op placements in chosen fields are standard. Teachers, professors and mentors are well-paid and highly respected. Associate or Bachelor degrees are actually respected, and because of high Chie education standards, that's all that's usually needed for most professions, though Chie enjoy lifelong learning, often taking refresher courses throughout their careers. The Chie ability to focus on their special interests is thus the cornerstone of their education and society. Spiral Empire Government During the first decades of their settlement on Galileo, the survivors of the CANZUK naturally turned to Captain Windsor for leadership, and while the colony focused on survival, that was sufficient. However, as the number of people grew, a more formal system of government was needed. The people turned to the govenments of their old countries back on Earth, a federal constitutional monarchy, with some changes, as a basis, and invited the aging Captain Windsor to be the first Emperor (the title chosen for its grandeur, and because "Spiral Empire" sounds better than "Spiral Kingdom"), both because of his leadership, and because of his family's history. Captain Windsor reluctantly agreed, but with a twist. The Spiral Empire's monarchy is *not* hereditary. Windsor remembered full well the effect such a system had on his own family, and didn't want to inflict that on his children and grandchildren. Instead, the heir to the throne is chosen from a small group of exceptional Spiral citizens, with the candidates voted upon by Parliament. If they accept, they are then appointed to the role of "Crown Prince/Princess" (little more than a title), until the reigning Emperor/Empress' death or abdication/retirement. This is similar to how the position of Governor General is (supposed) to be chosen in Canada. The Emperor/Empress' spouse and children are not afforded any titles of their own. "Prince/Princess" is reserved for the aforementioned Heir, and also for the Emperor/Empress' local representatives in provincial parliaments (similar to the Canadian provincial Lieutenant Governors) Actual governance of the Empire is performed by democratically-elected Members of Parliament, with the Prime Minister as Head of Government. The Emperor/Empress, however, is responsible for opening/closing sessions of Parliament, and performing other symbolic roles. They can also, however, act as the final veto in deadlocked laws (not that they have to exercise that power all that often), and do have the power to remove an incompetent Prime Minister from office (again, not that that's ever been an issue). Likewise, Parliament as a whole can remove an incompetent Emperor/Empress from office, though such a drastic measure would require a general referendum, and has never been necessary. Parliament itself usually takes place on a spherical space station, the Parliamentary Orb, that orbits Spiral between Galileo and Darwin's orbital paths. The station also doubles as an metoer defense platform, as such a crowded ring system often has wayward rocks that need to be vapourized to prevent them from hitting the two inhabited moons. (no points for guessing what the Parliamentary Orb started out as in my old Star Wars fanfic) The Emperor/Empress attends weekly meetings with the Prime Minister to discuss governance of the Empire, just as Queen Elizabeth meets weekly with the British PM in real life. Also, the Armed Forces swear allegiance to the Crown. With such an important symbolic role, the Emperor/Empress is also the most important international representative of the Spiral Empire. The current Empress of the Spiral Empire in the present day of my novel is Xelarra Secord, a native of Winterpeg, Darwin, librarian and expert linguist, who spent 20 years on Erebus, helping to learn to communicate with the Dragons, and encouraging their application to join the Empire when they asked her to do so. She was therefore instrumental in arranging the first formal alliance between a human and alien government in known history. (Xelarra started out life as a Star Wars fanfic OC of mine, the Chiss wife of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Her surname is in honour of Laura Secord, a historical Canadian heroine of the War of 1812) Spiral Empire Armed Forces/Space Exploration The head of the Spiral Empire's armed forces (mainly the space Navy, with a small army) is the Grand Admiral, who wears a deep, purple uniform. The current Grand Admiral, Ophelia Aldrin, commands from her flagship, the HMS Renaissance II. The previous Grand Admiral, Saito Brock, husband of Empress Xelarra, was lost with all hands aboard the first Renaissance a number of years before the present day of my novel. (Aldrin is basically an expy of General Olivier Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. Brock was, obviously, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Like his wife, he takes his name from a hero of the War of 1812, Sir Issac Brock. I attended Brock University myself, so it's a double reference). Imperial Forces personnel excel at tactics and space combat, including zero-g training. Chie are reluctant to go to war, but will defend themselves when pushed. They prefer solutions to military problems that minimize loss of life on both sides, but will be ruthlessly practical when they have to be. Surgite, Latin for "Push On!" is the Imperial Forces' official motto. (Also Brock Univesity's motto) Imperial Forces starships use the designation, "HMS" for "Her/His Majesty's Ship", same as the UK's Royal Navy (the Canadian HMCS is similar). The Imperial Forces themselves concentrate on defence of the home solar system. Space exploration is carried out by the Explorer Corps. The Explorer corps is nominally military, but the ships have a far more casual feel to them. Their primary mission is to seek out new wormholes and determine whether or not they are stable, where they go, and study what's found on the other side. They have fairly small crews, usually of about 50 crewmembers, and part of the ship spins for centrifugal force gravity. They're also equipped with modular docking sections, so that small ships/shuttles of different kinds can attach to the main ship. The primary power source for the ships are nuclear fusion generators, though the primary propulsion system utilizes solar sails that can push along vessels at up to about 20% of the Speed of Light. Crew quarters, hydroponics, the sick bay, and most recreational facilities are located in the spinning Habitat section (I'm still deciding whether that will be a ring, or the inner edge of a roughly cylindrical ship). The bridge and engineering are located near the centre of the rotational axis, and are thus in zero g, as are most cargo sections. The observation deck (the only part of the ship with real windows -- cameras/monitors are used elsewhere) is likewise in zero G. Explorer ships use the designation "RRS", for "Royal Research Ship" (similar to RSS Sir David Attenborough in real life). They're usually named after notable historical scientific ships, or scientists. The main plot of my novel involves the Explorer ship, the RSS Beagle (named after Charles Darwin's ship -- though this isn't set in stone. If you can think of a better name, please let me know). Interactions with the Confederacy and Machina The Spiral Empire first made contact with the Confederacy, and were mildly disappointed to discover they were fellow humans, instead of a new alien race. The Confederacy took that pretty hard. As baseline humans, the Chie regard the Confederacy with some suspicion, and reject their capitalist ways, in such opposition to the Chie's socialist society. Nevertheless, the Chie maintain an uneasy peace and mostly open trade with the Confederacy. This is because of two reasons: Firstly, there are a lot of potential Chie in Confederacy space, and Spiral wants to keep open the possibility of those Chie resettling in their space. There are small groups of Chie scattered around the Confederacy who actually run "immigration chapters", as in they identify potential Chie, and help them emigrate to Spiral. These can range from fairly open, to "underground railroads", depending on the current international situations. Cooperation with the Confederacy has led to join projects, but they often don't go too well. The most notable failure was the Erebus project, which started out as joint colony between the Confederacy and the Spiral Empire. With the discovery of the Dragons' sapience, Imperial law stated that all colonization efforts should immediately cease, but the Confederacy didn't want to lose their "investment", regardless of the sapience of the native population of the planet, or the laws of their "business partners". The Dragons, with the Chie's help, later forced the Confederacy off their world, and invited the Chie to stay for Erebus' protection. (this will be described further in the section on the Dragons). Since the Erebus incident, the Confederacy, especially their current, rather boorish president, has been more overt at their distain for the "alien lovers" who "went against their own species". Chie often wear toques or other ear-concealing garments to keep from drawing attention to themselves while in Confederacy space. The second reason the Chie continue to tolerate the Confederacy is because the wormhole leading to the Machina solar system is located in Confederacy space. If they cut off all contact with the Confederacy, the Chie would also cut off contact with the more agreeable cyborgs. In contrast to the Confederacy, the Machina get along quite well with the Chie. Both peoples have a similar history, with both being single "Planet Nine" colony ships that ended up on their own, and faced challenges. Chie usually react to Machina cybernetics with interest (and delight), and often consider even neurotypical Machina "honourary Chie". Both peoples put a great deal of emphasis on science and exploration, and both are generally accepting of the others' differences. Chie and Machina frequently collaborate on projects, and Machina often serve on Chie Explorer ships. The Machina leader, the Deus Ex, is also quite a close friend and ally to Empress Xelarra. While most Spiral Empire citizens and Machina prefer if their civilisations remain separate, there is a small but growing minority in both populations calling for unification.

Terra-Man

I created a section for Superman Rogues in my Superman masterpost so I feel obligated to actually write about a character for there. But I don’t really want to dive into the nuances of Lex or any of the big guns just yet, so how about we talk about a guy most people don’t even know exists?

Terra-Man friends! The Pre-Crisis version was created by Cary Bates, Curt Swan, and Dick Dillin. Based on Clint Eastwood’s “Man with No Name”, he was a child of the old American Wild West, with his father killed by an alien. Young Tobias Manning was then adopted by said alien out of guilt. The alien took Tobias with him out into the cosmos, trained him, and crafted high tech weaponry for him that resembled weapons used by 19th century cowboys. He was also gifted with slowed aging that gave him nigh-immortality. Tobias killed his alien guardian and struck out on his own as an interstellar criminal, taking the name “Terra-Man” to homage his Earth roots. His Pre-Crisis fights with Superman varied between him being treated as a bizarre gag villain and a deadly serious threat.

Spoilers: The guy who ages up Superman is Tobias. He actually comes across as a legitimate threat in the story, using preptime to outwit Clark repeatedly:

And it was the first time I had read a story with Terra-Man in it that made me go “this guy could be a legitimate threat”. Of course Bates had more creativity in his pinkie than a lot of creators produce in their entire careers, and the Post-Crisis revamp of Terra-Man really sucked:

They got rid of his cowboy hat (a creative felony if I ever saw one), and revamped him as a businessman who had a crisis of conscience over the environmental damage he was causing, and thus set out on a crusade to protect the environment. They kept the high tech weaponry, and gave a lot of it an ecological spin, he had gadgets that allowed him to drain Superman’s solar levels to make him susceptible to weaponry, but the background motivation has aged poorly. Given the current environmental state of the world, more people would probably cheer this version of Tobias on as a hero (just look at Green Arrow or the Poison Ivy fans!) than want to see Superman beat him up. Also he still talked like an old school cowboy for some bizarre reason? Or maybe that was just how writers thought every Texan talked.

Anyway he ended up getting ripped in half by Black Adam and basically has been gone ever since as far as I’m aware:

 So he’s been absent for two whole reboots now, New 52 & Rebirth, so I feel entitled to give my idea for how to make him work as a Superman Rogue. First up: his design. None of the ones I posted above really worked for me, none of them look “cool”, and if Venom and Carnage have taught us anything it’s that 90% of why some villains stick around is that they look cool. The Pre-Crisis one is too plain looking, he looks generic, the Post-Crisis look lacks a hat and the cowboy theme and is thus unacceptable. Luckily there’s already two very cool looking sources to draw on for a new design:

Guy front and center is Terra-Man from the Legion of Superheroes cartoon, and my first introduction to the character. His backstory was heavily modified for the show, but he was a stone cold badass, forcing Imperiex and Superman X to team up to beat him. Think Cad Bane from The Clone Wars by way of Terminator and you basically get the gist. I honestly wouldn’t mind just straight up taking that design and adding the mustache of the comic version. But there’s another source to draw from:

How the hell this guy never caught on I’ll never know. Maybe because Morrison never gave him enough badass moments during their Action run? But Nimrod has a very cool design, and he also has some crazy weapons like a gun that shoots telepathic bullets, he already feels somewhat like a Terra-Man revamp to me. I’d take the idea of a helmet/full body suit and the crazy high-concept tech weapons from Nimrod & Pre-Crisis Terra-Man, and combine it with the color scheme, basic outfit and hat of the animated Terra-Man. That would be a really cool design that would get people interested in Tobias I feel.

Second off: the name. Maybe I was just dumb as a kid, but I was always wondering why animated Terra-Man never used his earthbender powers. He clearly had them, why else would he call himself Terra-Man and not Space Cowboy? In the interest of retroactively justifying my young self’s stupidity, I propose a new name: The Terran. I think that does a better job of conveying what his deal is, that he’s a former resident of Earth aka Terra who has gone out and made a name for himself in the cosmos. Think of the children who will no longer be confused about why he’s not throwing boulders at his foes. I rest my case.

Third and finally: The motivation. Why does this guy show up on Earth? What’s his deal? Why does he hate Superman? Well I think there’s some easy justification in explaining why he would finally return to Earth in the first place by making him a hunter like Nimrod was. Terran is out to hunt the most dangerous creatures of a species for sport and profit. Guess who has an Intergalactic Zoo in his Fortress, containing last members of extinct species some of whom posses hides or organs that would fetch high prices on the galactic black market? That’s an easy way to justify why the two would first come to blows, and where the root of the contempt for each other would begin.

But that would only be the beginning. See there’s some very interesting twists on the Superman concept with Tobias. He inverts a lot of the core components of Superman. He’s a human who was abducted and adopted by aliens as a child. He got his “powers” from his alien father, and his “name” from the aliens he worked for and killed. He’s a human straight out of Earth’s past, a literal Man of Yesterday. I think you could do some very interesting stuff by contrasting the two, and one of the big ways to do it would be to make Tobias Manning gay.

Yeah yeah get your jokes out of the way but hear me out: Tobias is from 19th century America, not exactly known for it’s tolerance of homosexuality (or anything non-WASP really). Part of why Tobas stayed away for so long then was that he felt alienated from his home planet. He thought he would never be accepted there, and thus stayed away and tried to carve out a life for himself in space where at least no one looked down on him for who he loved. So when he finally comes back and sees the way things have improved he’s overjoyed. Finally he can be himself among his own kind, he doesn’t have to stay away from Earth anymore, he can stay here and reconnect with his heritage. But then he runs into another barrier: He was raised according to 19th century American norms as a kid, then by alien norms for the rest of his life. He has zero in common with regular humans in the 21st century DCU Earth. His speech is antiquated and peppered with alien words no one understands, marking him as odd. Nobody shares any of his interests, and his job, which would’ve been cool and badass in the 19th century, now invites disgust in everyday conversations. Tobias may have been a human born on Earth, but he was born in the Wild West and raised in space, and he’s become totally alienated from the rest of humanity.

Enter Superman, an alien born on another planet but perfectly able to live amongst humanity since he was raised by them and educated in their modern standards. He’s white-passing and straight, and those two attributes help him be accepted. It would absolutely piss Tobias off that this alien is viewed as more human than he is, is accepted where he is not, and that would fuel the fires of resentment. So when he and Clark cross paths, Tobias is out for blood. Not just to beat/kill Superman, but to embarrass him, humiliate him, make him the outcast for everyone to point and gawk at. Also killing one of the last Kryptonians would really help cement Tobias’ reputation as a stone cold badass hunter which doesn’t hurt either.

On Superman’s side, part of him would absolutely despise Tobias for being a poacher, for hunting and killing endangered species, for trying to kill or humiliate him. He’d be put off by Tobias’ 19th century ideal of manhood and enjoyment of killing, something Superman wholeheartedly abhors. But on the other hand he would absolutely empathize with Tobias’ frustration. Clark has felt alienated from humanity at points himself, but also recognizes that he was lucky to look and be like he does given where he landed. He’d want to try to reach this guy, to connect with him, given how much he can sympathize with the longing for a place where you can be yourself without fearing rejection from others. Whether he would ever succeed is anyone’s guess.

I realize the possible pitfalls in making a prominent villain, who is also a cowboy gay, but I do think what I have here is an interesting way at looking at the very concept of “alieness”, a topic often explored in Superman stories. I’d add a prominent gay member to Superman’s supporting cast as a counterbalance too, either to the Daily Planet or the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit.

So yeah that’s how I’d revamp Tobias into the Terran.
