History
Overview
They were described as not being alive but more akin to fighting machines. They were composed of some form of plastic material that made them extremely durable as well as elastic. This meant that most forms of physical attacks were repelled by their bodies and even meant that most forms of projectile weapons bounced off them. In addition to superstrength, their non-living nature meant that they had no need of sustenance or air which allowed them to survive both in the vacuum of space or deep underwater. However, they were ultimately mindless beings that were incapable of speaking but were instead controlled mentally unless the device manipulating them or their controllers concentration was broken. Any such break leads to the Humanoids ceasing their activities and remaining in their position where they remained inert.
Notes
