I hadn't considered that aspect, but true.

It was the Qwertians who were the parodies of the Daxamites, not the 
Dorfs.  That said, off the top of my head I have no idea what the 
Dorfs are like, so for all I know they're also parodies of Daxamites 
(which would imply two species of humanoids who in their home 
environments have no powers and were engaged in an interstellar war, 
but under certain circumstances gain superpowers and would go around 
tearing up the landscape on someone else's planet.  An amusing 
conceit, but fortunately the details of Qwerty given in 
_Constellation_ #27 head off that line of thought.)
