He can't distinguish Dad and Dog, so he wasn't a genious back then. So what if the Plutonium wasn't a super complex mysterium, just one of the most important things for an infant, her breasts (in this case maby big ons).

I believe that the "Too Much Zinc?" - is an answer to what might be wrong with him, not a retort to Megan's tone. In fact, zinc is linked to eyesight, see for instance https://www.nei.nih.gov/news/pressreleases/101201 and other sources, and this "zinc overdose" might be believed by white beret guy to relate to his "super-human" eyesight? 141.101.80.53


"My dad FORM the dog"? Typo in the actual comic or just the wiki? 199.27.128.240 05:47, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Anonymous

Radiation exposure wouldn't give you plutonium, maybe the byproducts of its fission. I'm thinking that, whatever it is, it mutated Beret Guy in the womb, hence why he has this strange superpower.--Druid816 (talk) 06:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Referencing Pink Floyd's 1970 album 'Atom Heart Mother' I think.--108.162.225.122 07:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

this guy sees by which elements are contained, not by which visible light? --199.27.128.172 06:14, 23 February 2015 (UTC) Are the elements actually representing their atomic symbols? Be, O, S, Z? Not sure what the metal-in-the-face comment is about.

Metal in the face might be a comment on braces, and how uncomfortable people are about having noticable ones. --

(Dental) fillings are explicitly mentioned as a possible source of metal. --188.114.102.75 09:26, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps the plutonium is coming from his mother smoking? 141.101.99.102 08:51, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I read it as both his mother and him beeing a robot or cyborg, which she never told him. 141.101.75.77 09:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
