Forager

Forager is a fictional alien being and a supporting character featured in comic books published by DC Comics. He is part of the mainstream DC Universe and is associated with the "Fourth World" mythos. He first appeared in New Gods #9 in July, 1972.

Abilities
The beings of New Genesis live in a realm called the Fourth World, which exists outside normal space and time. Their strength is due to their relative proximity to the Source - an energy which fuels the powers of the beings on New Genesis. This power also accounts for a New God's immortality. Such attributes also apply to the non-deific races found on New Genesis, such as the Bugs.

Powers

 * Superhuman strength: Bugs are superhuman when it comes to their physical biology, and as such, they possesses a strength level many times greater than a normal human being.
 * Superhuman speed: A Bug's enhanced physical characteristics, including strength and stamina, also enable them move in speeds in excess to that of a normal human. Some may have a specialty in their biology that allows them to move more quickly than others of their race.
 * Superhuman stamina: Bugs can operate on a physical level for expanded periods of time without undue stress of fatigue.
 * Superhuman durability: Bugs are resistant to most forms of energy and conventional physical attacks.
 * Super-leaping: Bugs are capable of leaping vast distances from a standing position. This is a quality that is a specialty of their race, and is not necessarily shared by other races of New Genesis.

Skills

 * Climbing: Forager is an expert climber, but makes use of special equipment to assist him in this.

Notes & Trivia



 * Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.


 * Upon the original Forager's death, a second bug person took his place to become the new Forager.
