Gholemoidians or Golemoids are A semi-humanoid race, also known as Golems whose orange bodies are silicon-based and 8' tall on average, with thick, virtually impenetrable stone-like hides. Their home planet is Ghollah IV, was a desolate planet inhabited by the Gholemoidians. first from the sun in the star system in the Milky Way galaxy.Gholla was harsh dessert planet,full of terrible winds and mighty storms-which is where the Atlanteans get the saying Like harsh winds of Gholla.from this race.Golem were a shapeshifting silicon-based lifeform, native to the planet Golla, described as being "almost mineral" and "like living rock with heavy fore-claws,over each of the five fingers,that can be used for either climbing,digging or excreating acide."
The Gholemoid are coated with a flexible rock-like shell that was impervious to extremes of heat and cold, from 50 degrees above absolute zero to the interior of a small sun, pressure up to 100 Earth atmospheres, and concussive force up to a fall at terminal velocity from the limit of Earth's exosphere.
The Golems were forced into slavery by an obedience disk and made to fight for his life in the gladitorial arenas. Golems was made to kill each other or other lifeforms placed into the arena against his will. This fact still haunts the golems to this day. is a silicon-based lifeform from Janus VI. It is composed of a material similar to fibrous asbestos. They feed on rock, and thus they are nourished just by tunneling. Horta tunnel through rock like most humanoids walk through air, moving with the aid of an extremely corrosive acid.
The exterior of a Horta consisted of a rocky carapace which was highly resistant to damage; anything but the highest phaser settings felt like nothing more than a mild irritation to the Horta. On their underside, Horta had numerous cilia which they moved about on.
[1]A Horta tunnelThe Horta diet consisted of minerals which they dissolved with a powerful orange acid they secreted from glands all over their bodies; this acid was also the means by which Horta could tunnel through their rocky environment as easily as a humanoid might walk through air. When Horta were afraid, they would lose control of their acid glands and squirt the powerful corrosive all around them. They also have the urge to tunnel to safety, although they can suppress this instinct when needed, such as to not damage the deck plates of a Federation vessel.
Powers and abilities
.Rock-like Skin: The Thing possesses a smooth, rock-like hide as a result of exposure to cosmic rays. The mutagenic process caused his musculature, bone structure, internal organ composition, soft tissue structure, and skin to greatly increase in toughness and density.
- Superhuman Strength: The Thing's primary superhuman power is his great physical strength. Initially, he was only strong enough to lift about 5 tons. Over the years, through rigorous training and further mutation, his strength dramatically increased to the point where he could lift roughly 85 tons. He has continued to exercise over the years using special equipment designed by . It is believed his strength has increased further, sufficient to lift at least 90 tons , and will continue to do say as a future version of the Thing states. However, The Thing has shown multiple feats of strength that would require a strength level far in excess of the ability to lift 100 tons such as successfully holding back a giant alien spacecraft from jettisoning from Earth [1] and stopping a multiple story building (weighing roughly 30,000 tons) from falling over and lifting it back into place [2].
- Superhuman Stamina: The Thing's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can exert himself for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to affect him. Incidentally, The Thing's lungs are of greater volume and efficiency than a normal man's, enabling him to hold his breath underwater for up to 9 minutes, despite the fact that he used to smoke.
- Superhuman Durability: The rock-like composition of the Thing's body renders him highly resistant to physical injury. The Thing's body can resist extremely powerful impact forces, such as the force of the Hulk's punches (the Hulk can lift/press far above 100 tons making his punches devastatingly strong). He can also withstand exposure to high levels of explosives, such as being struck full with bazooka shells, without sustaining injury. His body can also withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -75 degrees to 800 degrees Fahrenheit for up to one hour before exposure or heat prostration occurs. However he couldn't withstand being slashed by Wolverine's adamantium claws, and sustained some injury, making adamantium one of the few things that can pierce the Thing's nearly impenetrable body.
- Superhuman Sensory Adaptation: Though his senses aren't superhumanly acute, his five senses can withstand greater amounts of sensory stimuli than he could when he was a normal human being, with no reduced sensitivity.

Template:New Power Grid | Abilities = Expert Pilot: Ben is an exceptionally skilled and experienced pilot, proficient with many varieties of both conventional and exotic aircraft Experienced Astronaut: Ben has also trained as an astronaut and was piloting Reed Richard's spacecraft during the team's fateful bombardment with cosmic rays. Master Combatant: He is uniquely gifted in the art of hand-to-hand combat (a skill Ben honed long before he became the Thing), though his fighting style tends to be a rather loose brawling technique all his own. This style often incorporates collegiate wrestling techniques, Boxing (as he has been stated to have spent hours upon hours honing his boxing skills in the gym during college), and on at least one occasion even Jujutsu. In his youth, Ben was a talented football player. | Strength = Officially listed as Class 90; (originally 5 Tons), now at least 90 Tons. In future the Thing's strength will continue to increase[3]. His feats of strength, however, would indicate the ability to lift in excess of 100 tons. [4] [5] | Equipment =
- Fantastic Costume: The Thing's costume, and the rest of his wardrobe, is constructed of unstable molecules. The Thing's costume has a complete data processing and telemetry system woven into its fabric on a molecular level, making it a wearable computer. The costume forms a network with the rest of the Fantastic Four, providing a constant, real time uplink of everyone’s physical condition as well as their location and current situation. The costume is capable of displaying data and has touch-pad controls on the gauntlets. Its sensors can track all of the team’s uniforms and provide a picture of their immediate vicinity. The costume has an intricate scanner system which can detect things around the wearer, from how many people are in the next room to what dimension or planet they are on.
When fighting as a gladiator, he mostly relied on his physical power and extremely durable form, rather than actual fighting skills. He is, however, an experienced military strategist and consummate pragmatist, constantly assessing his environment so he can tell what actions are necessary for his continued survival.
'The Gholemoid possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and durability. The mutagenic, specific-frequency cosmic ray bombardment caused his musculature, bone structure, internal organ composition, soft tissue structure, and skin to greatly increase in toughness and density. The Golems can exert himself at high levels for about an hour before the build-up of fatigue poisons in his blood impairs his strength. His reflexes have remained at their above average human levels despite his greater mass. 'Lungs are of greater volume and efficiency than a normal man's, enabling him to hold his breath underwater for up to nine minutes, The Golems's five senses can withstand greater amounts of sensory stimuli than they could when he was a normal human being, with no reduced sensitivity.
As a result of a mutagenic effect due to exposure to cosmic radiation, the Gholemoidians possesses high levels of superhuman strength, stamina, and resistance to physical injury.Their strength has continued to increase over the centuries due to a combination of further mutation extending from the harsh environment of the Golem homeworld and genetic engineering by their Tyrhainean Slavemaster. Gholemoidian males capable of surviving impacts of great strength and force without sustaining injury, as thier body is covered with an orange or grey or green, flexible, rock-like hide. He is also able to withstand gunfire from high caliber weapons as well as armor piercing rounds. It is possible to breach the Golems exterior however, and can bleed as a result.Thermal concrete Solicon bandages can used to cheat the wound The Golems's highly advanced musculature generates fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him superhuman levels of stamina.The Golem highly durable to physical damage and physiologically stressful conditions, such as extreme temperatures and toxic breathing environments.
Aside from his physical attributes, the Golems's senses can withstand greater levels of sensory stimulation than an ordinary human, with the exception of his sense of touch. His lungs possess greater efficiency and volume than those of an ordinary human. As a result, the Thing is capable of holding his breath for much greater periods of time.
Despite his brutish, even monstrous form, the Golems suffers no change in his personality nor his level of intelligence. Despite his greatly increased size, the Golems ability and reflexes remain at the same level they had been prior to his transformation.
The Golems is an exceptionally skilled pilot, due to his time spent as a test pilot in the United Gholem Space Force and as a member of the United Gholem Star Fleet. He is also a formidable and relentless hand to hand combatant. His fighting style incorporates elements of boxing, wrestling, judo, jujutsu, and street-fighting techniques, as well as hand-to-hand combat training from the military.
On occasion, when Golems used a suit of powered battle armor designed by the Tyrhainean that simulated the strength and durability of his mutated body, albeit to a weaker degree. Wearing the suit, which was designed to physically resemble his rocky form, Golems continued to participate in the adventures. The first exo-skeletal Golems suit or Gholemoidian Battle Armor,was originally used to further protect the inhabitants of the planet extreme weather and other hazzardous condictions.
