ALPHA CENTAURIANS

Classification: Semi-humanoid extraterrestrial race

Location/Base of Operations: Arima, third planet from the sun in the Alpha Centauri A star system (one of three stars in a trinary system - see comments), Milky Way galaxy;
    Arima had a "figure-of-eight" type orbit, tracing its path between and around each of Alpha Centauri A & B (as represented by the symbol on Dynorr's chest emblem);
    when last seen, most of the planet's water supply had been lost, and the formerly aquatic cities were devastated by flames caused by the twins suns;
    water formerly covered 95% of the planet's surface; gravity if 210% of Earth's; atmosphere is 188% Earth's density

Known Members: Dynorr ("the Stalker"), Yennon; unidentified "old one";
    unidentified Thanos-Thrall (suspected);
    unidentified former Runestaff inhabitant;
    unidentified Mourners member;
    unidentified Galactic Marathon observers;
    Population estimated at 75 million (though this may have decreased since their world was rendered virtually uninhabitable)

Affiliations: Kormok

First Appearance: Sub-Mariner I#17 (September, 1969)

Powers/Abilities: Alpha Centaurians possess gills and other adaptations enabling them to dwell beneath the sea.
    Alpha Centaurians have two hearts; the second one starts when the first stops.

    They have built interstellar ships of "intermediate capacity," able to attain 95% light speed (see comments). Their technology includes Attrakton, electro-probes, funnel-disks (able to generate hyper-vortexes), infra-filters (which presumably filter out toxins from other fluids/waters they siphon to their ships), "nerve-rending rays," able to render unconscious Namor (recently underwater, but subsequently pulled through a vacuum-like vortex), photonic plates, and their viewscope.

    Dynorr was strong enough to contend with the underwater Namor, who possesses Class 100 strength. Namor soon overpowered him, but Dynorr's bear hug made Namor groan in pain. In their own world's fluids, Dynorr claimed to be far more powerful than Namor.
    Dynorr also apparently wielded some sort of hand-blaster, which fired a beam sufficient to blast Neptune's trident from Namor's hand. It's vacuum weapon setting not only pulled the water away from him, but also the water from his system, directly weakening him.
    Dynorr either easily learned or enabled communication with other languages via a translator or some other means.

Traits: All civilizations live underwater. Alpha Centaurians are a feudal society, organized into small, interdependent kingdoms. The people are generally self-centered and dispassionate survivalists (see comments). They consider less technologically advanced societies to be savages.

History:
(Sub-Mariner I#18 (fb) - BTS) - For countless ages, the water vapor of Alpha Centauri had been slowly escaping into space.  In more recent years, the process of dehydration had accelerated, leaving its cities exposed to the burning rays of its twins suns and its very civilization in danger of total annihilation. The Alpha Centaurians devised funnel-disks to atomize the hydrogen-oxygen liquids of other worlds and teleport them across the void of space to replenish the fluid of their world. They began to send out expeditions to planets with vast quantities of water and use their funnel-disks to steal their water.

(Sub-Mariner I#17 (fb)) - Dynorr found many planets with the water their world needed and led their far-flung raiders to such worlds, leaving the once-lush worlds barren and and desolate.

(Sub-Mariner I#18 (fb)) - On Earth, Dynorr ambushed the Inhuman Triton, capturing him and bringing him aboard their ship. Dynorr used some of his technology to probe Triton's thoughts and learn Earth's languages, as well as of the existence and amphibious nature of Namor, possessing both functional lungs and girls

(Sub-Mariner I#17 (fb)) - On Earth, Dynorr contacted the Atlantean/Homo mermanus Kormok, convincing him to aid the Alpha Centaurians' efforts in exchange for "a high price."

(Sub-Mariner I#17) - Kormok sent Namor out to undergo an Atlantean ritual and walked into a trap of Dynorr's men. Namor escaped a snare sent by some of Dynorr's men only to be attacked by Dynorr himself. Namor punched him down, but Dynorr drained the fluid from around him, weakening him. Dynorr then called for his ship to use the funnel-beam against Namor, who recovered in time to stun Dynorr. The Alpha Centaurians summoned Dynorr back to their ship via their Funnel-Beam.

    Dynorr returned shortly thereafter and ambushed Namor again in Antarctic Atlantis. Namor pummeled Dynorr into submission and then walked away after checking to see that he had no heartbeat. However, Namor did not realize that Alpha Centaurians have two hearts, and that the second one starts when the first stops. Dynorr then recovered and instructed his ship to activate the funnel-beam, catching Namor unawares and pulling him up to the ship in space.

(Sub-Mariner I#18) - Electro-probing Namor, Dynorr analyzed his functional gills and lungs, the latter of which allowed him to breathe air from a gaseous medium. The Alpha Centaurians hoped to learn from him how to regenerate their own vestigial lungs, though they realized that it would take many years to develop such a process; and, in the meantime, they still needed to drain planetary volumes of water from worlds such as Earth to preserve their world. However, after learning that Triton was their prisoner as well, Namor helped him escape his holding tank, and the two attacked their alien captors. They coerced Yennon to lead them to their vortex weapon. The terrified Yennon complied, but perished upon striking some deadly "ray," the existence of which he was unaware.

    After locating and claiming his Neptune's trident, Namor struck the ship's wall and was cast out into space, but his constitution enabled him to survive until he used the trident of Neptune to strike the funnel-disk, causing it to release sufficient water to maintain his might until he could locate the sectioned band that revolved around the ship's great hull, controlling the funnel-disk, altering the position of the funnel-disk in hopes of preventing it from draining the water from  Earth; the disk actually reversed its direction. As Triton fought back against the aliens, Namor began to fade in the cold vacuum, Dynorr decided Namor must not perish before he had suffered for the damage he had done to the craft, and ordered him to be summoned back onto their craft. The Alpha Centaurians restrained Triton while Dynorr taunted the exhausted Namor and then activated the funnel-disk. Dynorr did not realize until too late that the funnel-diskt had actually been reversed, and Alpha Centauri was instead drained dry, bursting into flames under the heat of the sun.

    Furious, the Alpha Centaurians turned on Dynorr, and one of them blasted Dynorr, seeming slaying him. Dynorr's seeming slayer succeeded Dynorr as leader, but felt shame over his peoples' actions against other worlds, and decided to let Namor and Triton go in peace. However, as a result of energies to which he had been exposed, Namor temporarily lost function in his gills and could no longer breathe underwater.

(Captain Marvel I#31) - At least one Alpha Centaurian apparently served in the Thanos-Thralls.

(Quasar I#58) - At least a pair of Glyx were present on the planet belowing the finishing line of the Galactic Marathon where they observed the Eternal Makkari's arrival following his victory.

(Maximum Security#1 - BTS) - Surviving, Dynorr may have languished in a prison for years.

(Maximum Security#1 - BTS) - Dynorr was one of the inmates beamed to Earth by the Intergalactic Council during the events of Maximum Security.

(Maximum Security#1) - In Manhattan, Dynorr struggled against Johnny Storm, the Human Torch.

(Maximum Security#1 - BTS) - Later, several of the extraterrestrials who had been beamed to Earth joined with the heroes of Earth to fight Ronan and the Kree/Ruul to break the barrier surrounding Earth.

    Dynorr may have been involved in this, but was not seen. He was most likely extradited from Earth, but his subsequent fate is unknown.

Alpha Centauri...binary...trinary...

    The two suns of the Alpha Centaurians are clearly defined, referenced, and pictured in the Sub-Mariner I#17-18 story. The original OHotMU: Appendix to Alien Races: Alpha Centaurians entry identifies Arima as the third planet from the sun in the Alpha Centauri A star system (one of three stars in a trinary system); it further notes that the Alpha Centauri trinary system boasts other worlds with intelligent life.
    It's been nearly 25 years since I took astronomy in college, and I am relying on astronomy sites' internet research and information from others, so let me know if my information is off:

• From what I can surmise, Alpha Centauri A & B are close together and form a binary system, with the two stars being on average only slightly further apart than Earth's sun and the planet Uranus (they apparently range b/t being closer together than Saturn and the sun, and further apart than Neptune and the sun). The third star in the system, Proxima Centauri,  is more distant from these two close stars, but is the closest star to Earth. Proxima Centauri is close enough to Alpha Centauri (a binary star, Alpha Centauri A & B), that the whole thing has been described as a trinary system. All three stars are within the "southeastern" corner of the constellation Centaurus.

• Arima orbits both Alpha Centauri A and B through a "figure-eight" orbit. Arima is the third planet in Alpha Centauri A's orbit, and possibly Alpha Centauri B's as well, but the latter part is unconfirmed. Arima was first identified in the original OHotMU: Appendix to Alien Races: Alpha Centaurians entry
• Until I read your Alpha Centaurians profile I had no idea that their homeworld supposedly has a figure-eight orbit around BOTH Alpha Centauri A and B. It looks a bit bizarre but I believe that astronomers think that such an orbit is possible around binary stars. However, such an orbit would be HIGHLY unstable and thus not last long enough for intelligent life to evolve on the planet. Of course, it could be argued that maybe realities 616 and 691 diverged BILLIONS of years ago, back when the planetary disc was separating into planets, and so maybe the planet Arima in Reality 691 only orbited Alpha Centauri A instead of orbiting both the A and B stars as is the case in Reality-616.--Donald Campbell
  --There's probably some comic/sci-fi explanation that makes this orbit stable in this situation, even if it's not the case in the real world/universe.--Snood
• Alpha Centauri A and B are about 4.3 light-years from Earth, Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, with the three stars within a multiple star system. Beta Centauri is in the same direction from the Earth in the night sky, but is about 350 light years away, far away from Alpha Centauri A and B and Proxima Centauri.--Wolfram Bane
• Many stars possess what is called a Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ), wherein a planet may orbit this star and support Earth-type life on its surface. Any closer to the star and life would burn or any further and life would freeze. The CMZ is based upon potentially Earth-comparative life (i.e. the typical humanoid alien), but not necessarily more exotic alien races, like nonhumanoids, metallic-based, etc. In other words, the CMZ is the distance of a world from a star that a "typical" humanoid alien race would develop.--Wolfram Bane
• Alpha Centauri A has a CHZ of 1.252 AU (116 million miles), Alpha Centauri has a CMZ of 0.678 AU (63 million miles), and Proxima Centauri has a CMZ of 0.00745 AU (692 thousand miles). Thus theoretically Arima orbits Alpha Centauri A at approximately 1.252 AU and Alpha Centauri B at approximately 0.678 AU, and Centuri-Six orbits Proxima Centauri at approximately 0.00745 AU.--Wolfram Bane
• Transformers #1 (1984) indicates that Cybertron, homeworld of the Autobots and Decepticons, circled the star Alpha Centauri of of Reality-91274.--Wolfram Bane
• In DC Comics, the world of Rann (adopted homeworld of Adam Strange) orbited the star Alpha Centauri.--Wolfram Bane

Alpha Centauri B vs. Beta Centauri...home of the Centaurian race

• Beta Centauri is another (single) star in the Centaurus constellation, but is much further distant from Earth than Alpha Centauri (325 light years away from Earth, and should be distinguished from Alpha Centauri B.

• According to the original OHotMU: Appendix to Alien Races: Centaurians entry, Centauri IV (home of the Centaurian race, i.e. Yondu Udonta of the Guardians of the Galaxy) is the fourth planet in Beta Centauri.
  However, Beta Centauri is 345 light years more distant from Earth than Alpha Centauri. Even though it is an alternate reality, one would ASSume that Reality-691 (timeline of the Guardians of the Galaxy...and Killraven)'s Vance Astro's mission to travel to the nearest star would bring him to the Alpha Centauri system (actually, the second and third closest stars; they clarified somewhere in a text page in Marvel Presents that the actually closest star, Proxima Centauri, was an anti-matter system, which wouldn't fit with the Centurii of Centuri-Six being there, but that's an issue for another profile). Further, in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, the inhabitants of that reality's Arima were transferred from their world (which Galactus was devouring) to "the nearest world with an ocean," Centauri IV. For such a planet, orbiting Alpha Centauri B seems much more logical than orbiting the distant Beta Centauri.

• The text pages are the Readers' Space letter columns in MARVEL PRESENTS #3 & 4, the first two issues to feature the Guardians of the Galaxy. The text page in issue #3 described the state of Earth and its four colonies in 3015 A.D. and described the genetically-altered sub-species of humanity that had lived on Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto before the Badoon wiped them out. Centauri-IV is also mentioned as an Earth colony "on the fourth planet in orbit about the nearest star, Alpha Centauri." The text page in issue #4 is an expanded version of the capsule history of the Guardians' timeline which first appeared in DEFENDERS #26. It is entitled "An Outline Course in World History 1975-3015 A.D. by Steve Gerber." The fourteenth paragraph reads as follows:
      "The first terran starship, "Andromeda," was constructed in 2908, but perished on its maiden voyage, upon entering the Proxima Centauri anti-matter star-system. It was in the year 2940 that the first successful interstellar voyage was made - to Alpha Centauri - and the first terran interstellar colony was founded on Centauri-IV, Yondu's native world."--Donald Campbell

• In the very first Guardians story in Marvel Super-Heroes #18, the planet where Major Astro met Yondu wasn't even named. In the next GotG story in Marvel Two-in-One #5, Yondu was identified as a "native of Earth-colonized Centauri-IV" while Major Astro said his voyage was to "Earth's nearest interstellar neighbor." It was in the letters page of Defenders #29 that the first mention of a connection between Centauri-IV and "Alpha Centauri" was made. And finally, it was in Guardians of the Galaxy #25 that Centauri-IV was definitively placed within the Alpha Centauri trinary system. Even then, it was not specifically identified as orbiting the B star.--Donald Campbell
  --The information from Defenders I#29 and Marvel Presents#3-4, both of which preceded the original OHotMU make it clear that Centauri-IV orbits one of the Alpha Centauri suns, and references to Beta Centauri are in error. My guess is that they meant to make it orbit Alpha Centauri B in contrast to Arima and its figure eight orbit, which they only defined as orbiting Alpha Centauri A. It's an easy mistake to assume Beta Centauri is another name for Alpha Centauri B...and that's what I think happened. Regardless, pretty clearcut errata in my opinion.--Snood

• On the other hand, the idea that Centauri-IV was located within the Beta Centauri star system was an error which first appeared in the original edition of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe...and has been perpetuated in every edition since. Even the Annihilation: Nova Corps Files mostly just copied the Centaurians entry from the earlier handbooks without correcting the mistake.--Donald Campbell
  --Yep, neither I nor the other handbook writers were aware of the discrepancies until I wrote this profile, and further investigated the information.--Snood

• In Reality-691's 31st century (the timeline of the Guardians of the Galaxy), the entire population and kingdom of the Alpha Centaurians (known as the Alphans in that reality) were transported to Centauri IV by Guardians and Keeper to save them from Galactus; they shared the planet with Centaurian race.--Donald Campbell
• The idea that Yondu's race and Dynorr's race are both from the Alpha Centauri system seems problematic. For one thing, since Centauri-IV presumably had its own oceans, why wouldn't Dynorr have drained them first, before traveling to other star systems? For another thing, it seems unlikely that Terran explorers would reach Alpha Centauri and make contact with Yondu's people but not the Alpha Centaurians. Maybe the Alphan population was so reduced by the devastation that there were so few of them left that they could be overlooked? Judging by Guardians of the Galaxy #25 (1992), it seems that the Alphan race was so much reduced that the Keeper only had to transport one underwater city in order to save the entire Alphan race. Or maybe the Alphans were just hiding from the Terrans, fearful of a possible reprisal for what Dynorr had tried to do a millennium earlier? The Badoon certainly seem to have missed them. Then again, Dynorr and his people were from the 616 version of Alpha Centauri so maybe events in the 691 reality unfolded differently. Maybe Arima-691 was not subjected to as much dehydration as Arima-616 was and so the population was able to survive without stealing water from other worlds?--Donald Campbell
  --To me, an alliance or treaty between two nearby worlds is simple, reasonable, and a good enough explanation for why the Alpha Centaurians would not have drained the water from Centauri-IV. I'm sure there are numerous other explanations, but this one certainly works. Also, the idea that there was only a single city of Alpha Centaurians on the whole planet would be an easy explanation for why the Badoon and Terrans missed them altogether.--Snood
•  If Samaya from Annihilation prologue#1 is any indication, then her species has a much greater knowledge of technology in the 21st Century than Yondu's people ever exhibited in the 30th Century. Of course, they come from different realities, but maybe the 21st Centaurians in both realities had the same level of tech and then something happened in Reality 691.--Donald Campbell

Proxima Centauri...home of the Centurii?

• Centuri-Six (home of the Centurii race) is the sixth planet from the sun in the Proxima Centauri system
• The text page in Marvel Presents #4, MARVEL PRESENTS #3 & 4, "An Outline Course in World History 1975-3015 A.D. by Steve Gerber," states: "The first terran starship, "Andromeda," was constructed in 2908, but perished on its maiden voyage, upon entering the Proxima Centauri anti-matter star-system. --Donald Campbell
• I believe that this text page is the only place where the Proxima Centauri anti-matter star-system is ever mentioned. As such, I don't know how "canon" it is. I also don't know where Steve Gerber came up with the idea. He could have been inspired by some science fiction story that he had previously read but if that's the case then I don't have a clue what story that would be.--Donald Campbell
• I don't accept the idea that the "Centuri-Six" mentioned by one of the enslaved aliens in THOR #258 must mean that that planet is orbiting Proxima Centauri. Even if the idea that the PC system is composed of anti-matter is not canon, the spelling and pronunciation of "Centuri" is different from that of "Centauri." I think this was another case of the OHotMU writers grabbing at whatever info they could find to fill in the missing data for all those alien races.--Donald Campbell
• Certainly a questionable choice, but it's not a mistake. The Proxima Centauri anti-matter notation seems like a fix to correct previous notations that they traveled to Earth's nearest interstellar neighbor and identified that as Alpha Centauri. The Beta Centauri thing seems like a clear mistake, but the Proxima Centauri/Centuri is more a matter of "apparently true until something else contradicts it - and something may. And a 31st century alternate future Proxima Centauri being noted as an anti-matter system does not mean that things weren't different in 21st century -616.--Snood

Other comments

    The original OHotMU: Appendix to Alien Races: Alpha Centaurians entry notes their ships can only reach 95% light speed. With Alpha Centauri being 4.36 light years from Earth, it seems unlikely that Dynorr was leading the Alpha Centaurians to planet after planet (with few planets in each star system likely to hold significant volumes of water) with such limited capacity. However, since they could teleport planetary volumes of water, it may be that they could teleport their ships as well...or maybe the Alpha Centaurians are particularly long-lived? Maybe they journeyed for 5-100 years between missions?

    The original OHotMU: Appendix to Alien Races: Alpha Centaurians entry describes them as self-centered and dispassionate survivalists, though it would seem from the events of #18, that the Alpha Centaurians were driven to this behavior by Dynorr...or, maybe the "old one" was more unique in his shame for their actions.

    The alien from Thor I#335 is not identified as an Alpha Centaurian...it's just a face in the crowd. It is also distant and not properly colored, so it could be something else. Still, it's got the moustache-like deal continuing back and up to the pointed ears. Additionally, it's fairly clear that many of the aliens were based on those from the original OHotMU appendix to alien races...though I believe only 9 issues of that were out when Thor I#335 came out.

    My issue of Sub-Mariner I#18 is missing pages #11-14. Roger Ott got his friend Joe Demartini to provide scans of the missing pages. Thanks to you both!!

    Thanks to Donald Campbell and Wolfram Bane (Harvey Johnston) for helping clarify/define the Alpha/Beta/Proxima Centauri business.

    BIG thanks to Will Uchtman for photoshopping the Alpha Centaurians OHotMU image to take out the text!

Attrakton

    Their Attrakton is magnetic disk used to collect someone or something brought aboard their ships by their Funnel-Beams. When a foe was gathered by the Attrakton, he or she could be rendered unconscious by their "nerve-rending rays."

    Prior to activation of the Attrakton, Infra-Filters were used to prevent unwanted mixture of alien waters with those aboard their ships

    Both

--Sub-Mariner I#17

Dynorr's handheld vacuum weapon

    It fired a beam sufficient to blast Neptune's trident from Namor's hand. It's vacuum weapon setting not only pulled the water away from a target, but also the water from Namor's system, directly weakening him.

--Sub-Mariner I#17 (18

Electro-Probe

    Used to analyze the internal structure of organic beings, their readings could be beamed onto photonic plates for visualization by the Alpha Centaurians.

    It is unclear whether it was the Electro-Probe or other means which rendered Namor unable to breathe underwater by the time he was dispatched back to Earth. It is similarly unclear whether this was done when Namor was being analyzed, or as he was returned aboard their ship after altering the course of the funnel-disk.

--Sub-Mariner I#18

funnel disk

    Their funnel-disks atomize hydro-oxygen liquids and teleport them across space to replace the waters evaporated from Arima. The funnel-disks were launched from within their ships and were controlled via sectioned bands revolving slowly about the ships' great hulls.

    By thrusting Neptune's trident between the ship's sectioned band's gleaming sections, Namor reversed one of their disks so that when they activated it, the "water" was instead pulled from Arima to Earth (?), destroying much of what remained of Arima's civilization.

--Sub-Mariner I#18 (18 (fbs), 18

old one

    Once Namor reversed the Funnel-Disk's flow, draining and destroying Arima as a result, the old one, along with the rest of the crew turned on Dynorr, seemingly executing him with a hand-held blaster weapon. With Dynorr fallen, the old one spoke for the rest, noting that while they could repair the damages they had done to countless worlds in the name of survival, that Dynorr would never again lead them into dishonor. Acknowledging it was Namor who had directly caused Arima's downfall, the old one noted that the Alpha Centaurians were not barbarians, and that Namor and Triton were free to go. They were returned to Earth by the ship's vortex beam.

    He was referred to by Triton as "old one," but was otherwise unidentified.

--Sub-Mariner I#18

photonic plates

    The information gleaned via the electro-probes could be beamed onto the photonic plates for viewing.

--Sub-Mariner I#18

raider fleets

    Led by Dynorr to worlds he had found possessing the water their world needed, they drained those worlds, leaving them barren and desolate.

    The ships were equipped with funnel-disks, vortex beams (which could pull objects and beings to or from the ship from orbital distances within water pulled through a vortex; they could similarly project beams of water and transport objects and beings down to planets as well), Attraktons, viewscopes, electro-probes, and photonic plates. The ships could allegedly reach only 95% light speed.

--Sub-Mariner I#17 (17 (fb), 17-18

Runestaff inhabitant

Yennon

    Seen in both warrior-like yellow garb and scientist's robes, Yennon denounced Dynorr following his initial defeat by Namor, but quickly begged for mercy upon Dynorr painfully squeezing his hand. He later advised caution when Namor was held aboard their ship, considering Namor a savage barbarian. After Namor and Triton broke free, Yennon quickly caved when threatened by Triton, leading them to the funnel-disk, but apparently perished upon being struck by a deadly ray apparently designed to prevent unwarranted tampering with the disk.
