They were a team of ten human astronauts sent to establish a base on the moon. During the trip, they were tapped into by aliens and transformed to become their emissaries back on Earth. Alongside the alien known as "LGM," they worked to fulfill their new mission. The Apollo Eleven were later wanted for crimes unknown and had to operate while on the run from the law. History Mr. Smartie Notes: They are active during the Dark Age story arc. Need to research more there. Powers All members of the Apollo Eleven have been shown in flight. Whether this is a power within each of them or some members are being levitated by the powers of others is unknown. Observations Kahoutek and Aquarina are a couple. As are Arthro and Gas Giant, though their relationship is complicated by the latter's incorporeal state. Kurt Busiek considered "Saturn Five" as an alternate name for the group, as it would require fewer members, but Alex Ross convinced him that "Apollo Eleven" was more specifically tied to the time period. Physically, the members of the team seem to be based either on different popular conceptions of what aliens look like (Greys, little green men, etc.) or on cosmological phenomena (black holes, comets, etc.) Kahoutek's name is a reference to the comet of the same name.
