Steve

Steve, or Steve the Alien, was an extraterrestrial who visited earth in January of 2009 in the first issue of Mari Solinski and The Wonder Kitty. He is primarily responsible for giving Mari Solinski and Niko their powers and also for introducing the pair to Maj. Gen. Kawallis when his "flying saucer" landed and was later destroyed at the Kleberg Co. Park near Kingsville, Texas.

Background
Originally believe to be menacing, Steve proved to be a somewhat bumbling and careless alien. He has green skin and a tear drop shaped head with dark eyes also in a tear drop shape. He is not purposefully dangerous as it is discovered he is actually just a "high school student who procrastinated" on a science fair project.

His primary reason for being on earth is the result of piloting error as he mistook the Earth for Venus, initially confusing the girls. He indicted that his "mission," if it could be called that, was to give powers to some Venusian inhabitants to save their planet and also so he could get a "A" on his project.

The nature of his people is not revealed initially and it is unclear, at that point, if he is a member of the more hostile aliens who Maj. Gen. Kawallis has dealt with in the past or some other race.

Steve is apparently killed when confusion among the military personnel results in them opening fire on the "flying saucer" which crashes and then explodes.

Steve is seen to have little actual working knowledge of the equipment in his lab.
