say that these subterranean creatures might possibly have been some of the "ordinary" wildlife that populated the Ninth Men's prehistoric times. Members of the TeenAgents included: Aurik, who possessed the power to control his own mass and density; Dijit, who possessed gloves that each individual finger was endowed with the ability to project a different form of force bolt (fire, electricity, etc., etc.,); Seera, a female who could transform herself into a vaporous state, allowing her the abilities of flight (and seemed to have slight empathic abilities); and the Kreech, a young female shapeshifter. Silver Star, a previous Kirby creation, was a government agent appointed the task of fighting superhuman enemies. A genetic mutant, classified as Homo geneticus, Morgan Miller was the result of genetic experimentation of his father, Dr. Bradford Miller. Possessing incredible superhuman strength, Miller's abilities are also a curse, for each time he uses his powers it physically drains his life force. Miller is quoted to have said, "What's up with this super secret shenanigans?" Captain Victory, another of Kirby's previous independent comic book endeavours. Victory is the leader of an extraterrestrial intergalactic police force, which visits then-present day (1982) Earth. With the publication of Victory #1, though, it seems that Victory's Pacific Comics' exploits are, continuity-wise, difficult to reconcile with the Kirbyverse's "present" (supposedly circa early 1990s). Loose ends What would have become the final two installments of the Secret City Saga, a new Silver Star miniseries, and a new Capt. Victory book, Victory, which were both billed as four-issue miniseries, only saw the publication of the first issues before the plug was pulled on the books. The final three issues of each have yet to be published. Both Silver Star, the Secret City heroes and Captain Victory resurfaced in 2011 in Kirby: Genesis, written by Kurt Busiek, who was also the author of the never-published Silver Star issues.
