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.

SippyCup@feddit.nl on 30 Jun 15:04 collapse

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

Don’t give JK Rowling ideas.

Or turned intona superhero but is good at hiding it

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

Now I want an issue of The Hulk where Madame Curie bursts through The Green Door as the hulkest hulk that ever hulked.

It was alpha radiation

lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 30 Jun 15:36 collapse

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.

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

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?

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 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.

exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 30 Jun 20:11 collapse

she got a blood transfusion from Banner

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

I would love to see a movie about her where she gets super powers instead of dying

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

Classic mistake.
