Zhilikam t'°Rinunsular t'Ek'tal°

As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans have a great wealth of literature, including genres similar to Terran science fantasy and science fiction, but they never had any literary form like that of Terran superheroes. Misfits of Science from 20th Century Earth has been a cult classic for many years. The entire series was recovered after the Post-Atomic Horror and continues to entertain beings in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, centuries after it was made.
