i mean, let's be honest: there's a right way, and a wrong way. in this case, the wrong way is "not turning something into a paste by repeated application of x in the hindat close quarters".

Where else is she supposed to put it? If she puts it in the common area, then everyone else will use it and she'll have to clean it more often.

The location of the tub did not deter anyone from coming over to use it. :smallbiggrin:

*In a Marvel Roleplay, may not ask why various people and organizations are so hung up on recreating the Super Soldier Serum when it's been long established that you can make mutates that are much stronger than Captain America with genetic engineering.
**I can only use examples that I know about in-character.
***Can not use me or other PCs as examples.
****May not point out that the planet is lousy with super-powered mutants, mutates, and aliens and that multiple people have stolen DNA from multible individuals without the donors noticing.
*****Again, may not use myself or other PCs as examples.
******May not ask a government official why, if they had access to a version of the Connors formula that doesn't drive you insane, why the army didn't just train a battaleon of super-strong regenerating lizard men instead of creating American Kaiju.

*** Cannot point out that this a superhero setting and that someone could probably find time technology to speed that up to something like a few hours, just lying around from some mad supervillains science experiment or abandoned lab. Like seriously, wacky inventions in superhero settings like a dime a dozen, how aren't there labs dedicated to examining and replicating this stuff?

***May not counter by pointing to half of Spider-Man's rogue's gallery who were all humans given superpowers partially or fully becuase of genetic engineering.
****Like the Scorpion, who was spliced with Radioactive Scorpion genes. Or the Lizard, who injected himself with a mutagenic serum derived from lizard DNA.
*****May not point out that the Us Military has a perfected version of that serum that doesn't result in super-villains and that they could have just used it to give volunteering soldiers the abillty to change into lizard-men instead of using it to try and make a second Captain America.
There's Also Itsy-Bitsy, who went from a heroin addict to one of the most powerful regenerators and dangerous killers on the planet with just an infusion of DNA from Spider-Man and Deadpool.

I mean, it's not like it's not theoretically possible to perform GM on fully grown living organisms, but yeah I forgot how insane comics are.
And I though science fiction could be stupid, at least their future technology is actually in the future (normally, unless somebody's invented time travel).

*******May not hypothesize that while the aforesaid serum might not make someone literally insane, it might have other deleterious effects that could result in something like the following exchange:

********May not counter that American Kaiju is literally a Gaint Radioactive version of the Lizard, so if they were willing to make that it would probably have been safer, cheaper, and easier to contain the test subject for the Lizard Super Soldiers than it would be to contain what they actually tried if it went bad.
*********May not then say that, okay, maybe they weren't expecting Todd Ziller to turn into a Kaiju, but then question what the heck else they expected to happen when they used Gamma Radiation, Pym Particles, Mutant Growth Hormones, and The Connor's formula to fill in the gaps in the Super Soldier Serum?
I mean, doyalist, Marvel wanted to have a Godzilla knock off for when the Avengers came into conflict with Shield, but in-universe the idea was stupid... especially in hindsight, and well, it mada sense to make a comment about that.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
I'm not up to date with comics, and read pretty sporadically back in the day, so I'm unfamiliar with that storyline and character. I wasn't so much making a serious reply as taking an excuse to quote Cave Johnson. :smalltongue:
