“Not a comic book, first of all. What separates a book from a comic book? Let’s not even go through it. Everything you think of, it’s not in here. Just settle for knowing that.
Skunkwoman is an alien from another planet who was placed in a toilet-shaped spaceship. Later, through crystals or some shit, we see a vision of her father, who explains that their homeworld was the trash dump for the universe, and the people who lived there developed the power to smell horribly and also not be affected by smells.
Which means, as someone who lives about a mile from one of the largest slaughterhouses IN THE WORLD, I’m superpowered. Congratulations, me.
This is a mistake a lot of people make when it comes to evolution. Evolution doesn’t happen because people are exposed to shit and they change. Evolution is the EXTREMELY slow process by which creatures that are best suited to thrive and reproduce in a given environment do so, and thereby the species becomes better suited to their environment. It’s not like someone just drops off trash on your planet and you get fucking superpowers.
BUT, is it much stupider than being bitten by a radioactive spider? Yes. Because that happened in the 1960’s. We didn’t know shit about radiation.
Anyway, in this “issue” (btw, this reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones saying that Batman Forever was his first “comic.” He knows the difference, right? Tommy Lee Jones?) Skunkwoman is set up to fight some rat man, but then gets off track and foils a bank robbery. And then we pretty much forget about the whole rat man thing. Eh, fuck it. “
