List of Gar Characters

[Vikor]

Can someone please help me identify all the known Gar characters. These are the ones I know...

1. Keldor
2. Illumina
3. Kronis
4. Shokoti
5. Cyclone

Is Tuvar a Gar as well?

Also, what is the relationship between Gar people and Anwat Gar?

Thanks.

(Did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for... sorry if this is a duplicate thread!)

[wundarwarrior]

The one Fighting Foe Man. I can't remember his name though.

Tuvar doesn't appear to be Gar... Gar appear to seem humanoid with blue skin according to this listing, although I didn't know Shokoti was Gar. I could stand corrected but we know definitely Illumina, Keldor, Kronis and Sy-Klone are, with the possibility of Shokoti and Dittstroyer (FFM) being Gar as well.

Well the only difference I see bewtween Gar and Anwat Gar is that; Gar is their race and Anwat Gar was the Eternian settlement they created for themselves when they arrived from their home world/dimension of Infinita, from I've gotten from the MVP Comics and current bios.

Grumpy smurf, the elephant guy in the band at jabba's palace, and the tree guys from the blue man group.

[Darkspecter]

Two members of the Council of Wisdom (the old man in blue and the woman with black hair, in a white robe).







Also, the bald, blue woman may be Gar (they became the Ancients, if I remember correctly):

[Vikor]

Tuvar doesn't appear to be Gar... Gar appear to seem humanoid with blue skin.

So why wouldn't Tuvar be Gar then too? Maybe all Gar actually have three ridges on their heads, only in most cases this is covered with hair so you don't see them, whereas Tuvar is bald so you can see them.

[Dragonblaster]

Kronis isn't a Gar

[Vikor]

1. Keldor
2. Illumina
3. Kronis
4. Shokoti
5. Cyclone
6. Tuvar
7. Hexon
8. Jarvan


Just remembered Hexon and Jarvan too...

Not that I'm attempting to make this a big debate but Keldor does not have those ridges. As his hair is slicked back (in your photo) would reveal said ridges even under the hair and this is just an observed suggestion (in addition to the pics provided by Darcspector and the fact he is only half Gar which could take him off this list altogether), which may me theorize that is why he appears not to be; as it hasn't been seen on any other Gar yet. And like I suggested I'm not sure all blue characters are Gar, but I could be wrong.

Dragonblaster: depending on what canon or bio you follow: Kronis appears to be a Gar as as he is from Infinita and this is the race which came from there. Now if you follow the mini-comic then you have a valid point (as he was green) as I have in regards to the info we are currently provided with.

[Vikor]

Keldor is only half Gar, so his ridges are not prominent like Tuvar. Also, the size and shape of the ridges would vary from one Gar individual to the next, much like the size and shape of noses in humans.

Vintage-era Sy-Klone's helmet does feature ridges, though, suggesting he may have a ridged head like Tuvar.

Also, what is the relationship between Gar people and Anwat Gar?

In 2002-cartoon Anwat Gar was a mysterious Island. Sy-Klone was its last guardian. They did not specify that he was from the Island.
Around that time the term "Gar" became associated with blue-skinned race because the producers didn't have a name for the race. It's never said
officially in the show or comic if I recall. But it stuck and years later MOTUC-canon used it. No mention of Gar coming from Infinita in 2002-continuity either that I can remember.

Also in 2002-cartoon Kronis was not a Gar while Keldor and Sy-Klone were. This is confirmed from one of the producers.

(in MOTUC-DC continuity Kronis propably is a Gar)

[Inhibitor]

Are we talking openly Gar or closeted too?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Count Judas]

Vormus, the magic dealer, from the MYP series is also a Gar. He was seen in the episode "Separation."

I would think that Tuvar would probably be half Gar and half of some other race, perhaps a Caligar? The ridges on his head and his enlarged fangs make him look a bit different.

and Faker is a Gar too...well a fake one.

Thank you Jukka, We can always count on you for factual info.

[Adam_Prince of Eternia]

In 2002-cartoon Anwat Gar was a mysterious Island. Sy-Klone was its last guardian. They did not specify that he was from the Island.

Indeed, both Dean Stefan, who wrote, and Michael Halperin, who story-edited the two episodes that featured Sy-Klone, have confirmed in interviews that Sy-Klone is only the Last Defender of the Temple at Anwat Gar, and is not a native inhabitant of the island.

Around that time the term "Gar" became associated with blue-skinned race because the producers didn't have a name for the race. It's never said
officially in the show or comic if I recall. But it stuck and years later MOTUC-canon used it. No mention of Gar coming from Infinita in 2002-continuity either that I can remember.

Indeed, the term Gar was postulated by fans. It is derived from Anwat Gar, and is misapplied to an ethnic group consisting of characters with blue skin and pointed ears on the assumption that these characters must be from Anwat Gar because Sy-Klone was an inhabitant of Anwat Gar also has blue skin. This was not established in the animated series, in the comic book series, or in any official media, but the notion persists, and was reinforced years later when the illustrator of the comic book stated in a post about his intentions for the series that this group be from Infinita. It has now worked its way into Masters of the Universe Classics, and by extension the digital and DC Masters of the Universe canon.

Also in 2002-cartoon Kronis was not a Gar while Keldor and Sy-Klone were. This is confirmed from one of the producers.

Actually, it was confirmed that this was the intention of the MVCreations comic book in a post by illustrator Emiliano Santalucia regarding the subject on He-Man.org. It was confirmed that the intention of the Mike Young Productions animated series was for Randor and Keldor to be twins by producer Ian Richter at Power-Con.

(in MOTUC-DC continuity Kronis propably is a Gar)

Indeed, it is implied that Kronis/Trap Jaw is Gar in his Masters of the Universe Classics biography, and it is established in the DC Masters of the Universe comic book series that Keldor/Skeletor is half-Gar.

[whbinder]

An insane criminal from the dimension of Infinita, Kronis was one of several evil warriors freed from an intergalactic prison by Keldor to bolster his ranks during the start of the Great Unrest. After serving Keldor for years, Kronis grew ambitious and raised an army of his own to challenge his master. Now a powerful Overlord of Evil, Skeletor, defeated Kronis - breaking his jaw and arm and leaving him for dead. Found and rebuilt by Tri-Klops, Kronis was transformed by him into Trap Jaw, a man armed with combat weapons and an “iron jaw!”

How, in any way, does that imply he's a Gar? Nothing hints at that. In fact, it claims he's from Infinita. Now we don't know enough about the Gar to say none of them are from Infinita, but most of the little we do know points to Eternian background. He's not even the same kind of blue. It's a drastically different skin color. If Kronis is a Gar, why not Webstor?

Side note: While not a Gar, I do enjoy that Faker was made to be Gar, so he's honorary to me.

It was hinted that the Gar 'possibly' came from Infinita, so this is why some of us make that 'possible' connection of Kronis being Gar; as the notion Anwat Gar is a colony of the Gar species. And if you looked at your Preternia map there is a spaceport which some of us are postulating, led them (The Gar) from Infinita to Preternia, as also became a key factor in the battles of Preternia and led to the future 'tensions' between Eternian and Gar for the many years to follow. Now this IS ONLY being theorized from the current classics canon by someone like me and it seems to meld well, as other fans have come to like conclusions. So is he? Maybe... And as I have said before, if you go by the minis he's not as he was green. But then again are all Gar blue or just the refugees we only know of????????????????????

Now the question theorized are all blue living species Gar? Which many of us are providing debatable arguments for a yes or no.

So in summary we have:
Illumina - Gar
Sy-Klone - Gar (as per the Powers of Grayskull Classic Mini-Series; the gar were wearing the tech armor and the confirmation by Jukka's research)
Keldor - Half Gar (even with what has been confirmed; Miro isn't Gar)
Kronis - Maybe Gar (if the Gar came from Infinita, according to DC Comics) No (if his green variant ever comes out and gives us an explanation)

And as for Faker..... He's a robot....

[whbinder]

And as for Faker..... He's a robot....

On this we agree.

[KeldorTheCursed]

I always just assumed that Keldor's skin color was lighter than that of a full-blooded Gar, just as humans of mixed race can have a lighter skin color than someone who is not (although that's not always the case). There is always variety in skin color amongst races. Just because a character is darker or lighter doesn't exempt them from being a Gar. I think the pointed ears are a more tell-tale sign than anything.

In my head, Kronis and Shokoti are Gar, but only because I want them to be. I don't think either are confirmed. Until any character is confirmed, anything else is speculation.

[Jukka]

Actually, it was confirmed that this was the intention of the MVCreations comic book in a post by illustrator Emiliano Santalucia regarding the subject on He-Man.org.

You referring to this?

You've got official word from Ian Richter and me:Keldor is Gar, Sy-Klone is Gar, Kronis isn't.

Cause with him mentioning Ian there, that's why I said in my original post that from cartoon-people it was confirmed that Kronis was not a Gar. Though
maybe I misinterpreted it?

[Vikor]

Jukka.... I'd LOVE to se a Scrolls of Eternia episode on the Gar!!!

I plan to cover the MYP-series on Scrolls of Eternia soon, and will touch upon the subject of Gar in episodes where it's appropriate.

The post in question is ambiguously worded. Allow me to clarify:

According to Dean Stefan and Michael Halperin, in the Mike Young Productions animated series, Sy-Klone is the Last Defender of the Temple at Anwat Gar, but he is not "Gar."

According to Ian Richter, in the Mike Young Productions animated series, Keldor is the first born twin brother of Randor, and is therefore not "Gar," and Kronis is not "Gar."

According to Emiliano Santalucia, in the MVCreations comic book series, Kronis is not "Gar," Keldor is half "Gar," and Sy-Klone is "Gar."

The confusion arises from the creators of the animated series and the creators of the comic book series having different intentions. The notion of an ethnic group consisting of characters with blue skin called "Gars" is not officially established in either series, but the comic book was at least operating from this notion.

Does this help?

[Smashtoys]

If it sort of looks like a duck, sort of acts like a duck, and sort of sounds like a duck, then it is a duck ( or some deformed/ hybrid/ self mutilating kind?)

Yep! Scientific speculation is smart and fun!
