Shi'ar

The Shi'ar were humanoids of avian descent who resembled humans with feathered crests atop their heads in lieu of hair. Two different styles were common; Most Shi'ar, particularly those of the aristocracy, had feathers sprouting in a triangular shape away from the face, one peak on the top of the head and one peak on each side slightly over the shoulder. The other commonly seen "hair"style was bushy on both sides and very flat on the top.
Internally, they had light hollow bones, and on their forearms there were still some vestigial feathers left of wings that were lost over millions of years of evolution. The average Shi'ar could lift one ton in earth-like gravity and had far greater stamina. Most Shi'ar had no other special abilities, though some were genetic throwbacks. These individuals possessed wings which allowed them to fly.
The Shi'ar conceived their offspring in eggs. They were nurtured in special chambers and the children were referred to as hatchlings.
