Here’s some ideas for Xerge lore in the Prime Continuity / My own continuation:
“The Xerge are a race of bio-mechanical beings linked in a hive mind that consume trash. The regular Xerge is much more deformed than Surge, as they eat trash which comes in all different shapes. When Ben first transformed in Surge, the Xerge made their way to Earth in search of their “missing us” which was interpreted as an invasion, as they did anything in their power to find Surge. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the Plumbers struct a deal with the Xerge, saying they could float near Earth and eat up all the space trash the humans would throw up there, and would help Ben when he needed.”
When Ben transforms into Surge, the Xerge come to his aid. Surge is immediately crowned the leader of the hive mind and the Xerge create a construct Ben dubs “Surge Supreme”, which is comprised of a very large being, with a tail, four legs, a torso and two arms, much like a centaur, and an X shaped head. If some Xerge are unable to reach Surge, or Ben simply needs a smaller form, he can become what he dubs “Surge Average”, a much more humanoid being.
Both Surge Supreme and Surge Average are capable of shooting Xerges. Since he has a limited amount of Xerges, when shooting the Xerge, the tail begins to disappear.
So, what do you guys think?
