Hey, everyone, check out my incredibly nerdy metaquote! What have I BEGUN?

Poor lychee-twist. Now she’s under even more pressure to comic that. But I did advertise her, after all. 


I also decided to repost the other dork comment I made in the same entry the context is from, because it's something that strikes me every time I see Wolverine, and something I've been wanting to comment on anyway: 

I always thought that if I had super-regenerative powers, I would be rather alarmingly cavalier about my body. I could just pierce the hell out of myself one day and scare my family, or experiment with even weirder body modifications. Or one day I could say to myself, "I wonder what brain damage feels like?" And can you imagine the potential for practical jokes? I'd throw myself under trucks and trains just to see the look on everybody's face. Or wrestle lions and bears. Safety precautions would not apply to me! Who needs safety goggles? Parachutes?--Pssh. Helmets would be pointless! Hell, I wouldn't even use POTHOLDERS!

And I'd routinely sell my blood and organs. Who cares? I can always regrow that kidney, after all.

I think there's a whole untapped potential that regenerative superheroes need to look into here. I want to see Wolverine answer the door at Halloween with an actual arrow jutting from his eyeball someday, dammit. 


Someday I'll elaborate on how if I were Hank McCoy I'd routinely infect Wolverine with horrible diseases and then siphon off the antibodies he produced and use them to cure things like cancer and AIDS.  But that would just be going over-the-top geeky, wouldn't it?
