Flb'Dbi's Primus
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Primus led an exploratory colonization for the Flb'Dbi race which arrived on Earth over half a million years ago. After some time on Earth, a phenomenon occurred which reversed the Earth's magnetic poles, rendering the Flb'Dbi's technonology inoperative. This meant that the Flb'Dbi would not be able to leave Earth until the polarity was restored. While the Flb'Dbi drones worked to find a way to restore the polarity, Primus and the rest of the Flb'Dbi placed themselves in hibernation. 500,000 years later, the drones finally found a way to fix the polarity. Upon awakening from their hypno-sleep, Primus and the Flb'Dbi had no idea what had happened on Earth while they were sleeping. The Flb'Dbi then programmed their drones to construct a tower to accomplish the polarity reversal which started to have untold effects on the Earth. The Fantastic Four encounter the Flb'Dbi and fix their technology, enabling them to leave Earth.[6]
