[edit] Fictional history
Extreme enemies of the Thanagarians because of their planetary closeness [1], they are sworn enemies. They superficially resemble humans, but average larger and more muscular in build, with pale magenta skin. Khunds have codified rules of combat. Khund bodies have much denser bone and muscle tissue than humans. The planet Khundia is a heavy gravity world.[2]
The Khunds are part of the alien group that attacks Earth in the "Invasion!" crossover.
In "Wonder Woman" #19 (Volume 3) it is revealed the Khund homeworld had been devestated by the attack of the aliens called 'Ichor'. With the assistance of Etta Candy and Wonder Woman, the Khund homeworld is saved and they gain their own Green Lantern protector.
[edit] In Other Media
The Khunds are seen in the "Shadow of the Hawk" episode of the Justice League Unlimited series. They were fought by Shayera and Elongated Man back in the early years of the reformed Justice League.
The Khunds are mentioned but not seen in the "Champions" episode of the Legion of Super Heroes series.
In the crossover JLA/Avengers, the Khunds are seen being attacked by the minor Marvel Comics alien race the Aakons.
