ORIGIN STORY

Tellus is a Hykraian, an aquatic species from Hykraius, a methane world, and is one of the few of his species that have chosen to leave their planet. Taking employment on an interstellar freighter, Tellus heard of the Legion of Super-Heroes and decided to learn more about it. Arriving on Earth, he applied for and was accepted into the Legion Academy based on the highly skillful control he had of his native telepathic and telekinetic powers. Upon graduation, Tellus applied to the Legion at the same time that Saturn Girl announced her assumption of reserve status. Having a need for the telepath on the team, as well as his other powers, gained him Legion membership. 

Tellus is one of the few non-human members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. His can be somewhat uncoordinated due to his physical bulk, and finds human/humanoid social customs confusing, but he is totally devoted to the Legion and his role in it.

Tellus was the second non-humanoid Legionnaire, after Quislet. Steve Lightle must have something about it. Converted characters, most of the times, unavoidably exceeds the 45-point limitation that the ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying Game core book recommends. Character revised according to rules presented in ICONS Great Power book. Streamlined, once again, according to ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying: The Assembled Edition.
