Mysteron Intentions?

[ffutures]

The theme song for the original Captain Scarlet series includes the line

Though the Mysterons plan to conquer the Earth,
This indestructible man will show what he's worth...

Except that I don't recall the Mysterons ever expressing any intention of conquering the Earth - their goal always appeared to be revenge for human aggression after they were brutally attacked by the first Mars expedition without any provocation. So pain, death, etc. yes, but conquest no.

Am I right about this, or is there something I've forgotten?

I can't recall any indication that they want to conquer the Earth - just to make life difficult for various folks. Quite frankly they have a point! Captain Black & co blew up their city on absolutely no provocation.

If they wanted to conquer the Earth, presumably they could destroy the whole planet and then make a new one???

Have you heard the conspiracy theory that Thunderbirds are actually Mysteron Agents? They turn up whenever some disaster has happened and 'rescue' people who couldn't possibly have survived, thus infiltrating more agents into the population. The Hood is the only person to suspect, but they keep thwarting his attempts to reveal them for what they are. :-)
