The Destructoids Stone-like creatures, ranging in height from 120 to 150 feet. About the size of a ten story building. Build and costumes have traits similar to Maya and Aztec designs These guys are very destructive and not exactly the most intelligent of creatures. The expect (DEMAND!) worship, idolatry, and obedience. They become angry, belligerent and emotional irrational when they don't get it, hence their destructive tendencies. Not a very compassionate lot. They make havoc of city budgets and insurance rates. History In their original form, the Destructoids were monstrous spirits who terrorized an ancient civilization that pre-dated humanity. They were banished, but they eventually managed to return in their present form. Spiteful at a world that's forgotten them, they make their shows of aggression in a bid to become figures of worship once more. We know of one clash between them and Honor Guard in 1991, and another seventeen years later when they rampaged across Astro City, but there have certainly been others. ("Newcomers") Observations According to Pete Dominick, doorman at the Astro City Classic Hotel: "They're supposed to be some sort of ANCIENT SPIRITS -- evil beings that ravaged PRE-HUMAN CIVILIZATION cultures, a millennia ago. "They were destroyed or BANISHED or something ... "They weren't robots or statues, they just LOOKED like them. This is the form they take when they come back... trying to get their JOBS back or whatever."
