He is about 70 years old, and comes from the underground city of Aquatania, which belongs to a dimensional universe separate from our own. Thresher's mother still lives in Aquitania, however, her identity is unknown to him. Thresher's own home is a fortress hidden in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean [not bought as a base because it doesn't show up in the comic]." - Protectors Handbook Since his first appearance in Airman #1, he has confirmed his suspicion that what his mother passed through was a dimensional door, and is now devoted to finding another such door. =============================================================================== Character write-up by by Dave Van Domelen (dvandom@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
