 In the title text, we find out the scientists accidentally call another superhero focused on the creation of {{w|Adam}} in the Biblical book of Genesis. This might be {{w|Etiology}}-Man (the study of causation and attribution), {{w|Ontology}}-Man (the study of being and existence), {{w|Ethnology}}-Man (the study of human character, with a focus on its formation and evolution).  Or perhaps {{w|Anthropology}}-Man or {{w|Anthropogeny}}-Man. "Adam-ology-Man" would be a more direct pun to the first man, himself, but has less of a basis in an actual "-ology" and leaves the creation part of the 'hint' as superfluous. It is also possible that they asked for another hero fighting the mantis, but who came was "man-theology-man" (not manteology-man).
-The title text could also be referring to "Ethnogenesology", the study of {{w|Ethnogenesis}}, since "ethnogenesis" has an "n" as required by Etymology-man. However, this Ethnogenesologist is a bit confused because Ethnogenesis does not specifically refer to the biblical book of genesis, but the beginning or "genesis" of any group of people (perhaps Randall imbued "Ethnogenesology"-man with this misconception to hint that his title had the word "genesis" in it. Assuming Randall even knew about this word, he might of also known about it's rarity and lack of wikipedia page, as there is only [https://www.rastko.rs/arheologija/vsedov-slavs.html a single google result that uses the word "Ethnogenesology" before 2012, back when this comic was posted.])

 In this comic, a group of scientists is in a lab, fighting off a giant mantis and some smaller mantises (which are nonetheless much larger than a typical praying mantis. Compared to the size of the people in this comic, the smaller mantises appear to be 8-12 inches long). One [[Cueball]] is firing a gun and [[Ponytail]] is brandishing a baseball bat, while the giant mantis grabs one Cueball by the leg, dangling him upside down. Behind the table, another Cueball is listening to Etymology Man speak. The joke here is that the scientists called the wrong hero for help. They instead wanted Entomology-Man. {{w|Entomology}} is the study of insects. Instead of calling Entomology-Man, who could probably help with fighting off the mantises, they have accidentally called Etymology-Man, due to the similarities in their names. Etymology-Man can only explain the origin of words, making him useless in this current situation. He also has flight powers that could be used to evacuate the scientists, but as seen in [[1010: Etymology-Man]], etymology takes full priority for him.
