they are based on mantises right?
mantises literally have 12+ month lifespans, and since they have biological organs to support a larger size like a skeleton, extra muscles, lungs and heart, etc, that would also greatly boost their lifespan to that of a human more, coupled with them also living on a non hostile environment as well making it easier to live beyond than expectations [well before the viltrumites arrive and turn them into sex slaves]
and plus they are an interstellar race or semi because they have vehicles that can travel to earth within a week or less, wouldnt that mean they would also have the technology to also boost their lifespans to?
Humans can live up to 90, dogs can live up to 21 and viltrumites can live for thousands. Even if they did extend the life span how much could they do it by. They live for 9 months. It’s probably just there DNA maybe this is how far the technology can take it maybe they had snake life spans before
still there couldn’t be any means for other methods to extend their lifespans if they can reach to interstellar levels of travel then im sure there’s some form of tech to extend their lifespan as well.
This show has a guy made out of magma
and water laced with chemicals that can affect eyesight with different frequencies of light which only Americans deal with due to drinking tap water
[which wasn’t totally inspired off of true events the CIA did a few decades back]
Why would they be based off Earth insects? They’re aliens, you’re overthinking this.
Comic spoiler
! Viltrimite powers come from “smart atoms” which to put it simply, isn’t even remotely possible as atoms form DNA not the other way around, and your talking about a short lifespan!<
well I’m not saying take vitrumite genes and clone it to make supers tho it would be interesting, but just any method to extend the lifespan of the thraxans to be that of a human or more.
