::::: I think you misunderstood my point: In ''[[The Annotated Autopsy of Agent A (short story)|The Annotated Autopsy of Agent A]]'', a species that reproduces via mushroom-like spores that came from an asteroid which was discovered by a small mining vessel before their backstory got retroactively complicated, came to Earth as part of their plan to go back to the start of time to do nefarious timey-wimey stuff, so they inserted themselves into 20th century Earth's popular culture to give them the boost they need to go back in time. The implication is this is the cause (i.e. '''''in-universe''''' inspiration) for the ''Alien'' movies, not that the implication that the life-spores ''are'' xenomorphs; there are many differences between the life-spores and xenomorphs, such as their method of reproduction being almost entirely different; they're not ''meant'' to be the same species. A closer, hypothetical analogy would be if [[Grant Matthews]] had, in ''[[The Indestructible Man (novel)|The Indestructible Man]]'', went back and time and got a marionette children's program made about his life in the guise of fiction. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 15:12, 14 December 2022 (UTC) | ::::: I think you misunderstood my point: In ''[[The Annotated Autopsy of Agent A (short story)|The Annotated Autopsy of Agent A]]'', a species that reproduces via mushroom-like spores that came from an asteroid which was discovered by a small mining vessel before their backstory got retroactively complicated, came to Earth as part of their plan to go back to the start of time to do nefarious timey-wimey stuff, so they inserted themselves into 20th century Earth's popular culture to give them the boost they need to go back in time.

I would like to reopen the debate of splitting this page and creating a new Mysteron Page and the previous debate did not reach a consensus. I have begun reread the Indestructible Man and have realised that the stand ins are very different to the cast of Captain Scarlet. Let’s start with the Doctor Fawn Stand in Doctor Koslovski. Koslovski is describe as being the one to perform the first examination of Mathews after he becomes indestructible, as does Fawn, both are described as being the person with the most knowledge of the Mysterons/Myloki. This is where the similarities end. Fawn is Australian, Koslovski is Russian. Fawns knows a little about the Mysterons, Koslovski actually know almost none and plays it all by guesswork. | |||
now let’s look at green and his stand in Neville Verdana. Green is an all round nice guy who never showed any animosity towards Scarlet and was kind and friendly and was a strong supporter of SPECTRUM. Neville Verdana is a bitter man who resents Mathews for his looks and indestructibility and sold out PRISUM simply because is blamed them for everything wrong with his life. Not to mention in the original Captain Scarlet there are no secret Mysteron codes to attempt to decode as the Mysterons outright say what they are going to do in their famous threats I.E. “this is the voice of the Mysterons, we know that you can here us earth men. We will continue to take our revenge for the destruction of our Martian complex. At 12 noon tomorrow we will destroy Cloudbase” whilst Neville Verdana gets cancer from trying, an failing, to decode Myloki messages. | |||
This also shows a Major difference between the Myloki and the Mysterons one makes threats the other does not. Another difference is that Mathews car is destroyed by a Myloki spaceship. The Mysterons never use spaceships except for attack on Cloudbase (not a valid source) which terns out to be a dream and another comic not published by TVC21 which is not valid either and does not really fit with the lore either. To me it seems the Myloki are far closer to the Aliens in UFO (which is not valid here) than the Mysterons. Another fact is the way the Myloki duplicate. The Myloki have two types of duplicates the relatively obvious Shiners and the discrete identical duplicates of the Indestructible men of which there are two. Meanwhile the Mysteron duplicates are always visible identical and always act almost exactly the same as the person they are duplicating and more than two are indestructible and in fact it is implied that Black is neither a duplicate or Indestructible. This brings me on to my final point Black and Death. Black is cool calm and collected whilst Death a vicious monster who instead of avoiding confrontation seeks out people to kill. He does not speak and is implied to be no longer sentient. | |||
I believe that these differences are enough to keep the pages separate and grant the Mysterons their own page. Whilst I would like them to be merged I do not believe enough similarities exist between the two narratives to link them as one, and merge the character pages. Indestructible man is a deconstruction (an affectionate deconstruction but a deconstruction nonetheless) of the Worlds of Gerry Anderson. Counter arguments are welcomed.[[User:Anastasia Cousins|Anastasia Cousins]] [[User talk:Anastasia Cousins|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:44, 22 February 2023 (UTC) | |||
