Axi-Tun

The Axi-Tuns are a species that has a physical appearance similar to a tall Human. They possess energy-manipulating powers, but their capacity for this varies from individual to individual. They possess a technological level superior to that of Earth's, and are capable of FTL travel. It would appear that as a whole they are a threat to multiple galaxies as all members known have apparently been conquerors. Even so, they appear to be only a minor galactic threat.

Four Axi-Tun explorers crash-landed on Earth sometime between September 1st, 1939 and September 2nd, 1945. They were apparently discovered by a Nazi scientist named Werner Schmidt (who may or may not have been related to Johann Schmidt, the first Red Skull) who named them after Teutonic gods. After battling the Invaders, these four committed suicide in an attempt to keep their technology out of Human hands.

Many years later, another four Axi-Tuns, these being warriors, came to Earth and called themselves the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They attacked the Earth but were defeated by the Fantastic Four.
