Mannik

Mannik is a character created by Georgia Van Heusen, and published in numerous works by Ink Bath Comics.

He is a nameless(in-story) humanoid, relatively short in stature, consisting of roughly 50% prosthetic, heavily-aged cybernetic parts. What little he can recall of his past tells that he was a soldier in a legion of humanoids like himself. They served some kind of artificially intelligent superpower in waging mass galactic war, and were all destroyed once they served their purpose. Mannik's first appearance is him pulling himself up out of a mass grave(on one of the 'Murder Moons'; the use of one of these moons as a dump for trillions is still an enigma/paragon in the world of 'Intergalactic Civil Legalities') of tens of trillions of his kin, fellow cybernetically "enhanced" humanoids.

Since the "organization" that murdered tens of trillions and disposed of them ceases to exist following Mannik's first arc, the Intergalactic Civil Legalities board repeatedly sends him mail concerning the matter, as he is listed as the "technical final descendant" traced by lineage and association). He is hounded about a thing he had nothing to do with and was directly a victim of. He doesn't learn of the P.O. box all the mail was being sent to until much later in his arc, where it is revealed that there are nearly as many letters and notifications as there were bodies in the mass graves.

Mannik does not possess the ability, naturally or technologically, to speak. Within the comic, there are only thought bubbles. Po Perrazsi's ability to understand him comes with her being a (somewhat)natural telepath. She essentially becomes his mouthpiece.

He has large bracers attached to his arms that both contain ports for long-since obsolete plugs not really found anymore. This is one of the things that irks him, as he cannot seem to find any meaning to any of it.

He has no inherent powers or the like but is phenomenally strong and resilient. He can run long distances, jump incredibly high and far, and is able to sustain heavy injuries without slowing his pace. He can lift or carry at least two-hundred and thirty-seven times his own weight. He is smart and capable of recognizing even the most complex of obstacles or oppositions and assessing them to locate weakness or vulnerability.

Mannik is eventually discovered by his creators and former masters. His having survived the purge of his kind is considered a great crime, and he is hunted. This is the basis of the first phase of Mannik's arc, him simultaneously avoiding and confronting, and fighting, the AI superpower. He is the only organic being in his world for quite some time, until the introduction of the female photographer, Poperra Zsi, in the story arc ''"All The Kyngs Mhen". ''

It is here that Mannik is brought officially into the Saberverse, although he had technically been a part of it since the characters inception.
