			**This can speed up the process of researching [[Firestorm (EU2012)\|Firestorms]] and [[Titan Armor (EU2012)\|Titan Armor]], as both require UFO Power Source to have been researched previously (as a direct prerequisite for Firestorms and a prerequisite to [[Elerium (EU2012)\|Elerium]] which is a prerequisite to Titan Armor), and Firestorms also require Alien Nav Computer to have been researched too. However, beyond these, capturing a Thin Man does not have much use.

	The Thin Men are agile, quick, and elusive alien creatures. Designed to look human so that they can successfully infiltrate society, their true reptilian nature is betrayed by their yellow eyes ~~and~~ the patches of scales around their necks (not to mention their unnatural agility). Thin Men are responsible for handling the more secretive operations of the alien invasion, although some aren't exactly subtle, such as planting huge alien bombs in the middle of urban centres. Their human-like appearance doesn't fool XCOM troops, who have no trouble identifying Thin Men as hostiles.		The Thin Men are agile, quick, and elusive alien creatures.

	Thin Men are one of the deadliest units in the early game. They have increased accuracy and mobility, making them ideal for long-range sniping at your soldiers while moving to outflank them. Against soldiers in high cover, they'll make use of their ~~poison spit~~ to reduce their aim, mobility and possibly causing them to panic. Even upon their death they can be dangerous since they'll release a poison cloud that can affect any soldier that moves through it.		Thin Men are one of the deadliest units in the early game.
