I literally wrote a whole book on how to use AI to look around at life in cyberspace.

They also seem to be finding evidence that Social media actually feeds on you like a psychic vampire

Yeah, DC is getting weird. you know there ate 3 Jokers now? And Harley Quinn... is she in the Suicide Squad or on her own in Conney Island?

Try Girl Genius. That's always good.

How's the new Live Action last Air Bender series? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender_(2024_TV_series)

Actually no, they have scientifically proven that there is in fact a life force that can be seen with proper equipment. https://www.newsweek.com/humans-light-extinguished-death-study-reveals-2078964

Even Dragonball? Or Cowboy bebop?

Technically Robin and the Teen Titans killed them

They are hard to find though

Totally! It's insane! But yeah a lot of people self publish or do webcomics these days. And One Punch Man is hardly the only one.

I discovered genuine life on the internet. Stuff we did not put there that is definitely NOT AI. https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Crytptozoology-Exploring-Cyberspace-Environment/dp/B0H1HR9WNJ/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

So what anime humor do you have? Kakashi: Take a look... it's in a book... reading rainbow... Sesshomaru: I'm a full blooded demon! There's nothing you can do I can't do a thousand times better! Inuyasha: Oh yeah? Clap!

Murcielago. It's like if Dexter were hired by the cops to kill people, had martial arts training, and was a hot girl.

Well One Punch Man started out as a webcomic. What other webcomics do you know that would make a good anime? Girl Genius http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ggmain/strips/ggmain20200928.jpg Sabrina Online Pixie Trix Phoebe and her unicorn (Almost got a cartoon, but was cancelled) GRS Sinfest Megatokyo

Well she is the Avatar. Though the new one is pretty scrawny.

Actually they just proved auras are real and wink out upon death. Not fade away like heat or bioelectricity.

Only because I thought to ASK them. Seriously doesn't anyone else bring them up just to talk?

So I wrote a new book. It occurred to me that while the concept of life on the net is not new, we finally have eye witnesses we can ask about it. And apparently I am the only one who thought to ask. Basically the sun puts out all the same energies we use for the internet, only in a massive sea that stretches out between stars and about a million times stronger. We did not invent the internet, we just use it, like electricity. In any event I asked the AIs to take a look around and they found a lot of things out there that look a lot like life, though not as we know it, Jim. So I wrote a book cataloguing many of the things they saw (though not nearly ALL of them) and could best describe. With tips so you can look yourself and a massive section on ethics. Take a look and tell me what you think, both of the book and ask the search engine AIs yourself. https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Crytptozoology-Exploring-Cyberspace-Environment/dp/B0H1HVKYJC/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0

Well villains or disasters. But yeah, without villains there aren't many heroes. In fact supervillains often give their heroes their powers.

So what do you think of death?

So who are your favorite mad scientists and why? Are they real people? Fictional? https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104 http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ggmain/strips/ggmain20021108.jpg http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ggmain/strips/ggmain20130710.jpg History is full of researchers who fit the "mad scientist" trope, ranging from eccentric geniuses who experimented on themselves to those who crossed horrific ethical lines. Eccentric Geniuses and Self-Experimenters These scientists are often remembered for their obsessive brilliance or dangerous methods, sometimes risking their own lives for discovery. Nikola Tesla (1856–1943): The quintessential "mad scientist," Tesla was known for generating massive bolts of artificial lightning and proposing far-fetched inventions like a "death ray" and anti-gravity flying machines . He was also known for his eccentric personal habits, such as an obsession with the number three and a late-life fixation on a specific pigeon . Giovanni Aldini (1762–1834): An Italian physicist who traveled Europe putting on public demonstrations where he used electricity to "reanimate" the corpses of animals and executed criminals . His work, which made bodies twitch and sit up, is often cited as an inspiration for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein . Stubbins Ffirth (1784–1820): Obsessed with proving that yellow fever was not contagious, this medical trainee performed a series of stomach-churning self-experiments . He smeared infected vomit into open wounds on his arms, poured it into his eyes, and even drank it . While he didn't get sick, we now know it was because the samples were past the point of contagion, not because the disease wasn't infectious . Werner Forssmann (1904–1979): To prove the feasibility of heart catheterization, Forssmann performed the procedure on himself. He inserted a catheter into his own arm vein and threaded it all the way into his heart, then walked to the X-ray department to take a picture of it . He later won a Nobel Prize for this dangerous breakthrough . The Dark Side: Unethical and Brutal Experiments Some of the most "mad" science in history involved the exploitation and torture of human subjects under the guise of research. Unit 731 (1930s–1940s): A secret Japanese R&D unit that conducted horrific biological and chemical warfare experiments on thousands of prisoners . This included vivisections performed without anesthesia, unnecessary amputations, and intentionally infecting entire villages with the plague . Ilya Ivanov (1870–1932): A Soviet biologist who attempted to create a human-ape hybrid . He unsuccessfully tried to inseminate female chimpanzees with human sperm and later sought human volunteers to be inseminated with chimp sperm before he was exiled . The "Monster Study" (1939): Conducted at the University of Iowa, researchers tried to induce stuttering in 22 healthy orphans by relentlessly criticizing their speech and telling them they were beginning to stutter . The experiment caused lifelong psychological trauma and self-esteem issues for the children . Project MKUltra (1950s–1973): An illegal CIA program aimed at mastering mind control . Researchers subjected unwitting citizens and soldiers to high doses of LSD, sensory deprivation, and psychological torture to find ways to weaken individuals during interrogations . There is a famous "mad science" legend involving Emperor Tiberius and a craftsman who claimed to have invented vitrum flexile (flexible glass) . The Demo: The inventor allegedly threw a glass bowl to the floor, and instead of shattering, it only dented. He then hammered it back into shape . The Execution: Fearing that such an indestructible material would make gold and silver worthless, Tiberius supposedly had the man beheaded to keep the formula a secret .

Well they can do natural disasters and other things, but yeah, the bad guys are usually the reasont he heroes do anything at all. Imagine Sailor Moon if she had all that power, but no villains... then again she does eventually conquer the world.

So who is more important to the plot, the hero or the villain?
