History

Characteristic Traits
- "It's clear these hosts are fragile. Incapable of containing us without complications."
- ―Magistrate's Daughter[src]
The Gibborim are beings made of light, with luminescent colours. On Earth, they need to possess human bodies in order to survive the planet's atmosphere.
When possessing a host, they somehow alter the biology of their host bodies. As seen by Dale Yorkes and Stacey Yorkes testing out the serum made from the Magistrate's host's DNA, the host body's DNA showed regenerative properties. Due to the nature of their being, a human body can host a Gibborim as long as the Gibborim do not use their powers. Once they start using their powers, the host bodies begin decaying and require the power of the Dematerialization Box to regenerate their host body.
They are also capable of reproduction with other species as well as passing on their powers to other beings, such as Karolina Dean or Leslie Dean's unborn child. As seen by Karolina Dean, because she is an organic being, rather than a light being, she does not require a host and can use her powers without it affecting her physiology or decay her physiology.

Trivia
- In the comics, the Gibborim are a race of six-fingered giant gods who ruled the Earth before the Great Flood. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the race shares many visual traits with the Majesdanians, an extraterrestrial race. A comic-accurate portrayal of a Gibborim appears as a statute at the Crater.
- In Hebrew, the word Gibborim roughly translates to 'mighty'. This word was primarily used in Genesis 6:4 to describe the Nephilim, hybrid offsprings of biblical angels and human women.
