Strontians

Strontians are a fictional species from the DC Comics universe, most notably appearing in the comic book series Countdown to Adventure and the related character, Stront. They hail from the planet Strontia, a world known for its unique geological properties and the presence of a powerful element that shares its name.

The Strontians are a humanoid race characterized by their resilience and a distinctive physiological ability. They possess an inherent connection to the element Strontium, which imbues them with enhanced strength, durability, and the capacity for limited energy projection. This connection is not merely superficial; the element is deeply integrated into their biology, making them formidable beings.

Their society is structured and often depicted as having a strong sense of duty and honor. The Strontians have developed advanced technology, particularly in the fields of mining and energy manipulation, stemming from their intimate understanding of Strontium. However, their civilization has faced significant challenges, including internal conflicts and external threats, which have shaped their history and current status.

The individual known as Stront, a prominent member of the species, often acts as a protector or an agent of his people. His motivations are typically tied to the welfare and survival of the Strontian race. The planet Strontia itself is a harsh but resource-rich world, with its surface often bearing the marks of intense geological activity and the abundant deposits of Strontium. The Strontians have learned to harness this element for both their own enhancement and the advancement of their society.
