It amuses me to no end that Viv's evolution also included a minor wardrobe change... she goes in wearing a short-sleeved shirt which exposes the belly... and comes out with a long-sleeved shirt which definitely goes down over the waist. I guess good old High Evolutionary was feeling prudish?

[gnarll]

Not impossible. I mean, Wyndham was a scientist in the 50s, who had an unusual religious fixation, and its part of his character that he retains some human psychological reflexes even as he denies that he does.

"You're not leaving Wundagore dressed like that, are you, young lady?"

[shadowpsykie]

OMG other Dad! this isn't even that bad! you should have seen Cow Lady yesterday!

[matrix_dragon]

I'm a little sorry at how human she looks now, compared to before. That said, there's quite a bit of story potential here, as she gets to experience humanity even closer than before, and I'm truly delighted she hasn't just been turned into Generic White Girl. Of course, it makes perfect sense for the High Evolutionary to choose human to mix her with. Hell, he probably thinks both Viv and her father would appreciate him helping with her dads shared goals.

... Of course, what's actually going to happen is Vision going all out 'How dare you touch my daughter!' and blasting Evolutionary until his immortality upgrades stop working :P

[q99]

Yea, it's like... I wouldn't have asked for this but I do quite like her look.

[md84]

It's weird that High Evolutionary made her a human. His whole shtick is that he thinks humanity is overrated. That's why he's gone down the Island of Dr. Moreau road.

[matrix_dragon]

Well, his gimmick is also merging humans with other things, so Viv is the other half in this case. Not only that, but he legitimately thinks he's helping here. It's the side of High Evolutionary that tries to be a good person, but it hampered by the fact he's fucking crazy.

[nightauditguy]

Since H.E. remade her, does that technically make him Vivivan's other dad? If so, Vision is going to have to add another branch to the chaos that is his family tree

[starwolf_oakley]

H.E. is (sort of) Wanda and Pietro's godfather. He was the one who "gave" the twins to the Maximoffs. (If that's still true because retcons are weird.)

Now he's Vi's second father. Wild.

[long_silence]

Don't forget that Virginia's brain patterns were based on Wanda's.

So if we're going by the same logic that made Simon and Vision brothers, then Wanda is also Viv's aunt.

[shadowpsykie]

I thought Vision's wife was made from wanda's brain patterns

[long_silence]

Virginia was Vision's wife

That makes Virginia and Wanda sisters.
Virginia is Viv's mother.
That means Wanda is Viv's aunt.

[balbanes]

Also don't forget that Vision made Virginia. So if we're going by the same logic that made Vision into Ultron's son, then Vision married his own daughter. And then had kids with her.

That whole family tree is completely fucked.

[burkeonthesly]

Leave family planning to a synthezoid, and you get circuits instead of trees.

[zachbeacon]

It's best not to think to hard about that family tree. Kang's involvement makes it a huge mess.

[goattoucher]

First off: the red and green streaks in her hair? An inspired design choice, I think.

Second: Did they make her Indian because her robo-dad has a laser Bindi? If so... that's kind of rad.

Third: That is a -very- small waist.

[stubbleupdate]

Indian?

I thought she was still red

[goattoucher]

I can't tell if you are joking.

Dark skin, black hair, green eyes. Strikes me as south Asian.

I can be wrong about this, though. It won't make me sad.

[stubbleupdate]

Not joking.

When I scrolled down, it took a while to see the difference with Viv. I could see that tone being used as her red colouring, but in a bit of shadow.

[balbanes]

Well, she doesn't eat, so it's not like she needs an intestinal track in her midsection.

[goattoucher]

Point.

[shadowpsykie]

not to sound weird... but how human is she? Like... Seven of Nine Human? or like... Data Human? (human like skin and hair, upgraded emotions?) some where in between.

[dr_archeville]

Maybe next time don't have your patient wake up near a MOUNTAIN OF SKULLS?

[scorntx]

Better that than the throne of blood.

[goattoucher]

"Hello. Welcome to my antiseptically clean high tech laboratory. Please pardon the mountain of skulls. It's my giraffe/human hybrid cleaning lady's week off."

[leoboiko]

HE thinks he's a god now, guess he's going for that skulls-for-the-skull-throne vibe.

[bruinsfan]

Dude spent decades living on Wundagore Mountain, didn't he? If everyone is lucky a Halloweenish touch to the decor is all he picked up from his time there...
