This is just my smart-assed take on a serious problem. If you're a diabetic, you may very well owe your life to insulin produced by bacteria that has been hybridized with human DNA. If you have cancer, the most promising treatments have been developed using lab animals that have been hybridized with human DNA. If you've got a chronic heart condition, your life may be saved by an operation to implant a heart valve made from animal tissue.

Giant Ant provides an essential vitamin that isn't found in any other food group. Tragically, few people get their USRDA of Giant Ant. It's a little known fact that when they re-vamped the Food Pyramid, they were going to add an entire slice just for Giant Ant based foods. Sadly, lobbyists managed to eliminate this revision while it was being debated in committee. As a result, Giant Ant supplements are forced to use the innocuous code name "Yellow #6". Look for it in the ingredient list of common foods you already enjoy, and rest secure in the knowledge that you're eating healthy, because you're eating Giant Ant.]]> Quirk 2006-03-03 http://www.quirkspace.com/comic/index.php?date=2006-03-10

Last words are extremely important for supervillains, and should be practiced until saying them is almost a reflex action. You don't want to be stuck trying to come up with something appropriate while your secret headquarters collapses in flames around you. The "Last Words" event at the Supervillain Olympics is the perfect venue for villains to show the time and effort they've put into this without requiring them to actually die. Points are awarded for originality, delivery and how well your words match your particular style of villainy.]]> Quirk 2007-11-02 http://www.quirkspace.com/comic/index.php?date=2007-11-09

The relationship between Hero and Nemesis is more complicated than anything else in heroic history. It can also be one of the most intimate. Villains and enemies, even arch-enemies, can come and go, but a nemesis is forever - even beyond the grave. There's many recorded cases of one member of a Hero / Nemesis pair returning from the grave to interfere with the plans of the other. Basically, once you've got a relationship like that, the only solution is mutual annihilation, aka the "Reichenbach Divorce."]]> Quirk 2007-11-23 http://www.quirkspace.com/comic/index.php?date=2007-11-30
