Battle Of The Planets Poster # 1 Mark w/ Razor Boomerang by Alex Ross
$24.99
Description
Battle of the Planets casts five young people as G-Force, consisting of Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny. The question has been raised whether or not the characters were cyborgs due to their “cerebonic” enhancements which granted them superhuman agility and demonstrations of power such as their tornado-like, spinning force “Whirlwind Pyramid” form. G-Force protects Earth from planet Spectra and other attacks from beyond space. The most prominent field commander of the Spectra forces was a villainous, masked individual known as Zoltar. Zoltar would receive his orders directly from a being he would refer to as “Luminous One”. The Luminous One would appear as a ghost-like, disembodied, floating head. Who, or what this being actually was, is never explained in any detail throughout the series. The main ship of the G-Force team is called the Phoenix, which can carry, transport and deploy four smaller vehicles, each operated by one team member. The four vehicles include a futuristic race car with various hidden weapons driven by Jason; this vehicle is concealed within the Phoenix’s nosecone. The “galacti-cycle”, a futuristic motor cycle the Princess rides, is stored within the left wing capsule of the Phoenix. Keyop’s “Space Bubble”, an all-terrain, tank-like vehicle capable of VTOL as well as being a submersible craft, is held in the right storage capsule of the Phoenix. And lastly, a futuristic jet fighter Mark pilots is stored in the top rear section of the Phoenix command island structure, and which uses its tail fin to make up the center tail fin for the Phoenix. The fifth crew member, Tiny, was assigned to pilot the Phoenix rather than one of the detachable craft. A regularly featured plot device was the transformation of the Phoenix into a flaming bird-shaped craft able to handle virtually any exceptional situation by functioning as a sort of giant, super blowtorch called the Fiery Phoenix. The Phoenix’s primary weapon was a supply of rockets called “TBX missiles” in the series. It also occasionally flaunted a powerful solar-powered energy blaster, although the team had the misfortune of choosing very cloudy days to use it. The G-Force team themselves would use a combination of martial arts skill, ninja-like weapons, and their “cerebonic” powers to dispatch hordes of enemy soldiers and overcome other obstacles. Their bird-like costumes include wing-like capes that could fan out and function nearly identically to parachutes and/or wing suits, enabling the G-Force members to drift or glide down to safety from heights which would otherwise prove fatal. The G-Force members stay in contact through a wrist-band communicator device which also serves as a way for them to change instantly into their G-Force uniforms or back into their civilian clothes. Other weapons seen displayed by various team members include, but not limited to: Mark’s sonic boomerang, a bird-shaped boomerang with razor sharp wings; Jason’s and Tiny’s multi-purpose gadget guns, which can be outfitted with grappling hook and line, drill bits, etc.; and Keyop’s and Princess’s yo-yo bombs, which could be used as bolas, darts, and explosive devices.
