Are the Mysterons even physical beings?

[Parker Gabriel]

In regard to everything that has been speculated about the Mysterons, you end up having to ask:

Are they even physical beings any longer, or were they ever?

I myself have written a speculative treatise, Mysteron Reversal Of Matter, in which I claim that the Mysterons are not physical beings any longer, though they once were. I there explain that the Mysterons's ability to reverse matter is based on their ability, developed over five hundred thousand years, to tap an extra-dimensional source for what I call "retro-matter," an alien form of matter that can actually restore itself if damaged or destroyed.

Others in this forum, of course, may have other things to say about the subject.

I believe that the Mysterons were once humanoid in form but Mars suffered a Catastrophic event that led to a poisoning of Mars' atmosphere, followed by exposure to extreme radition levels causing the Mysterons to loose their humanoid form and leading to the formation of their abilities.

I think I read it in the DVD 'bonus features', where they say they mysteron complex we destroyed was actually abandoned by the mysterons themsevles but computers were left running and so what we are battling is computers.

looking through my Crhis Bently "Complete Book of CS", on page 43, it doesn't say Mysterons, but Mysteron computers, when talking about Captain Black's encounter with them.

So what I keep wondering is where are the real Mysterons who made the computers? and what would they think if they knew what the computers were up to?
The computers defintily have a life of their own.

I've noticed that they tend to have fairly black and white thinking. Sometimes they will make a second try at an attack (like in Winged Assasin) but in Seek and Destroy their planes get blown up and they do nothing else. They are also esaily fooled. They assume their first target in Operation Europa is destroyed with the building, even though he is not. They leave him alone and move on. In Treble Cross they do not realize their own agent has been killed and replaced with the ressusitated original.

Then how come Captain Black suspected it? it wasn't him driving that truck when it crashed and Scarlet turned the dead body over to look at his face.

It could be that Black wanted that agent to be the driver all along, we don' t know.
but Black did give the orders to the imposter - agent.
Black seems to let his agents do the more dangerous stuff, he has to make the initial kill to get an agent, a lot of times. or so it seems to me.

Yeah I noticed that too, but even if black had been driving that truck in Treble Cross, the Mysterons could've beamed him away.

But you could also argue that Black wouldn't have crashed the SPV, as he is an experienced driver of the vehicle.

[Intensity Angel]

Which episode was that, when he crashed the SPV?

[gojohnniegogo]

Whoops, got completely lost there, I was thinking of the end of Manhunt rather than Treble Cross for some unknown reason there.

[Intensity Angel]

Don't worry. But I can see your point. However wouldn't crashin the truck, then letting the Mysterons take him away be a good idea? Would certainly annoy Spectrum.

He might get hurt in the crash, and we don't know if he can retrometabolize or not. he wasn't killed & recreated, but sort of 'taken over' so i think they don't want to chance actually hurting him.

i don't want to go off topic onto Cptn Black & his predictament. there are some good threads on it, tho.

Yeah but the Mysterons could still beam him out.
