Goddamn misogynistic radiation! Fight patriarchal particle decay!

Misogynistic Radiation would be an absolutely amazing band name

hansolo@lemmy.today on 30 Jun 20:11 collapse

When the misogynistic radiation ionizes oxygen, it smells exactly like Axe body spray. So strange.

Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

No true, he would’ve become a superhero like the meme suggests.

The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

Obviously he was actually a woman, or he wouldn’t have died.

Or turned intona superhero but is good at hiding it

Sirius006@sh.itjust.works on 30 Jun 20:57 next collapse

What actually happened is Joliot turned into a supervilain, he killed Pierre Curie before he could become a superhero, but was ultimately defeated by Henri Bequerel, who is immortal.

I thought this was common knowledge.

In the meantime Irene Joliot died of the radiations, as everybody would expect.

Did anyone check Marie’s grave?

Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell’s - just to fuck with Einstein.

It was alpha radiation

Would have made her an alpha male if she was a male. But she wasn’t and there is no such thing as an alpha female (neither does alpha male make much sense but I digress)

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org on 30 Jun 15:28 next collapse

And then there was that guy who ingested radium like a supplement and his jaw decayed. He was bulletproof, however. And he had laser beam eyes. It’s sort of a mixed bag.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Byers

qarbone@lemmy.world on 30 Jun 16:48 next collapse

This does sound like a Marvel mutant? I think his name was “Furnace”? He had no jaw and his chest was flaming energy?

Edit: That was not his name:

Jono Starsmore, also known as Chamber, is a mutant who possesses mutant abilities including the generation and manipulation of concussive blasts of psionic energy from a furnace in his chest, telepathy for communication and mental manipulation.

Wow, that was a wild read. I kept going to see if the man responsible for Radithor would get his after finding out it made him rich.

Tap for spoiler

No legal justice but … > Bailey died of bladder cancer … his body was exhumed nearly 20 years later, it was … “ravaged by radiation”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._A._Bailey#Death I guess it’s a good example of Hanlon’s razor, “Don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity”

Compound V works on women

7bicycles@hexbear.net on 30 Jun 16:07 next collapse

Half the fun of Philomena Cunk is she’s like half right or at least you can see where she starts from.

I’m not into comics but now i’m genuinely curious; is there a comic story where the radiation turned a woman super? Only one springs to my mind is fantastic 4s invisible woman, which, you know, there’s some subtext. I’m also not counting things like She-Hulk cause that lacks originality.

Is there more turtles turned super by ooze or radiation than women?

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social on 01 Jul 04:29 collapse

There just aren’t a lot of women supers with cultural staying power in the first place, and getting powers from radiation was a trope from a time there were less than average.

samus12345@sh.itjust.works on 30 Jun 16:09 next collapse

Counterpoint: She-Hulk.

abfarid@startrek.website on 30 Jun 19:09 collapse

I don’t think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.

ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website on 30 Jun 19:35 next collapse

Banner is a gamma source iirc, especially when Hulk is out

abfarid@startrek.website on 30 Jun 20:02 next collapse

Maybe. But IIRC it’s still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn’t become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.

ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website on 01 Jul 18:48 collapse

She became a gamma mutant through gamma exposure through Banner, but she became she hulk instead of Cancer Woman because she’s Banners cousin. Makes you wonder how widely the Hulk gene is spread in that family waiting for a gamma burst to wake it up

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social on 01 Jul 04:27 collapse

Ironically it’s only Spider-Man that has killed women with radioactive sperm

ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website on 01 Jul 18:49 collapse

God Marvel’s hateon for Spider-Man is getting old, was old when they did that bit too.

she got a blood transfusion from Banner

The existence of blood transfusions implies the existence of blood cisfusions.

Imagine the She-Hulk movie show if it were good. Yeah, this is it.

nef@slrpnk.net on 01 Jul 08:14 collapse

She-Hulk was a TV show, and IMO it’s among the better half of Marvel shows (which isn’t saying much).

She should have been born in a comic book instead of real life.

Classic mistake.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 03:53 collapse

Maybe she should have been named Bruce. It’s our strongest name!

Statistically that’s Jack

Jack’ll crack when the Bruce is loose.

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social on 01 Jul 17:34 collapse

Name one story where a Bruce beats a Jack, even in the Hulk, you simply can’t because their normal powers are increased by Hulk being giant-kin

don@lemmy.ca on 01 Jul 17:47 collapse

I mean, she is highly venerated by the scientific community, such that her research is still kept around despite being highly radioactive. Also, she was a living human being, as opposed to, y’know, a comic book character.
