History
Zwen is one of the Buffer Planets seeded by Mon-El, after the Dominator Invasion! of Earth. The planet was settled between Dominion space and Earth to prevent any future attacks.
Another early Terran colony world, Zwen's rate of planetary rotation is so slow that its nights are over six Earth months long. Early colonists were driven nearly insane by the endless nights. This lead to a biogenetically engineered mutation that enabled the people to effectively hibernate through these long and dark months. Since Zwenwas a world filled with natural predators, this mutation acquired the protective feature of being able to turn the body to a stone-like consistency. Zwenian culture soon developed around these long hibernations, great pride being taken in an individual's ability to partake in long periods of unconsciousness. Few natives possess the desire to leave Zwen, although their natural ability to spend extended periods in hibernation have put them much in demand for deep space exploration.
Zwen is the home planet of Stone Boy of the Legion of Substitute Heroes.
