Grrl Power – Dabbler’s Science Corner #6
It’s been decided to keep Deus’s supposed revelations about the nature of Superpowers mum at the moment, mostly due to the assumed “gold rush” of scientists playing god with live human specimens. Since human DNA is the only known way to interact with the Superion field, there’s no animal testing possible, or, really any other laboratory experiments, other than seeing if anything that’s extremely close to human DNA might also work, and also what the limitations are when it comes to the field’s interaction with “living” specimens. Like, could a vial of a Super’s blood also somehow summon lightning the same way the Super it came from can?
No, if the information got out, everyone who has a working knowledge of human history or human nature or just a functional brain realizes that a bunch of low-level Supers are going to wind up in dungeons, hoosegows, gulags, and centre pour peines aménagées. Okay, maybe not the last one. That’s French for “Center for reduced sentences” but the first time I read that my brain saw “Center for penis ménages” as in ménage à trois, but exclusively for penises. And the image my brain conjured wasn’t a gay ménage, either, but like, literally just for penises, so it’d be a room full of guys walking around with sandwich boards, only the board extends up over their faces, and the phalluses stick out of a hole in the board like each guy is an ambulatory glory hole. That’s all totally irrelevant to my comment, just thought I would inflict upon you how my brain works.
Anyway… Oh, right, dungeons full of low-level supers being experimented on, probably forcibly bred, you know, all the usual tropes.
The new vote incentive is up!
Dabbler went somewhere tropical, in a very small bikini. As you might guess, it doesn’t stay on for long, which of course, you can see over at Patreon. Also she has an incident with “lotion,” and there’s a bonus comic page as well.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Pam, WHAT THE HELL?!
Sounds like we might have to classify some of earth’s entertainment section to keep from giving alien overlords bad ideas
“Center for penis ménages” would just be the game Genital Jousting on Steam.
Keeping that classified is not going to help. “Clones of people with superpowers might have the same superpowers” is a hypothesis people could easily think of without knowing anything about superion fields.
Especially those who are familar with the Wolverine movie Logan, or Superboy Kon-El as cloned by Lex Luthor
I doubt clones will be a “plug-n-play” super, because I suspect there’s a mental component to the control. They would have to copy the DNA perfectly, most of the cloning attempts failed because the DNA purity was not much over 50-75%. That’s why we haven’t seen (in real life) cows with 2 udders, or a “spiderman” with 6 arms, or apples the size of an outhouse.
Dabbler probably reads faster than a movie so at the risk of giving her new ideas, Falling Free and Mirror Dance to start with. She would not understand some of the characters in Ethan of Athos, but would admire the scam at its heart. and that’s just one author. I’m sure there’s a lot more.
well if we are looking at alternative media, the “Ascendance of a Bookworm” series covers it a bit in how nobles treat peasants with the devouring, and how the rival country treats its nobles… they might just scrap the whole idea after Dark City and the wizard in caos
Lancenvane was that country’s name
You really don’t need to know about the super-field and hunam DNA’s possible interaction with it to come up with the idea of cloning supers to see if the clone has their power as part of an unethical “how do super powers work” research program, and from there turning the clones into avatars is just the next evilogical step.
The pre-game-lore badguys (one of them) in Warframe are kinda like that second evil doer pattern Sydney described.
Did Sydney just say something so incredibly smart, that even the team’s sexy genius hadn’t thought of it?! Somebody give that girl a cookie, and pray she continues to only use that brain for good and creative pranks
The real problem is that Harem is also secretly working for Deus, and now that she knows of this idea, Deus definitely will know about it, if he hasn’t thought of it already. Deus may be taking another trip to the spaceport to buy some cloning and remoting tech soon.
Does that mean Harem could get another body if someone cloned her?
