MEMBROS

Classification: Semi-humanoid crab-like race

Location/Base of Operations: Microverse

Known Members: None named

Affiliations: Antrons, Psycho-Man, Reptos

First Appearance: (Behind the Scenes) Micronauts I#17 (May, 1980)
    (Referenced): Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Fantastic Four 2005

Powers/Abilities: Antrons have two arms, the left ending in a blaster, and the right in a "hydra laser," the latter powered via a cable to a backpack. These weapons are removable and can be replaced with other such attachments. They are covered in a dense carapace, have exposed brains, and a pair of large, razor-sharp fangs.

Traits: Little is known about the Membros, though they are presumably warriors.

(Micronauts I#17 / Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Fantastic Four 2005) - The Psycho-Man sent Antrons, Membros, and Reptos to battle the Micronauts and Fantastic Four. The heroes eventually escaped the Worldship, though Jasmine was slain by a Repto.

Comments: Adapted by Bill Mantlo, Howard Chaykin, and Al Milgrom.

    Membros were toys in the Mego Micronaut line, and they were confirmed as part of the Marvel Multiverse in the pages of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Fantastic Four 2005: Psycho-Man entry.

    The Micronaut toys described Membros as "the Slithery Skinned Invader from the Remote World of Visceros." Membros were active within the Microverse Proper (the Spiral Path, contained within the Spacewall), but that doesn't mean that they couldn't have originated outside the Spacewall. Perhaps numbers of them traveled through Breachpoint to colonize parts of the Spiral Path.
