A) there is typically a rejection after a while as during the Notary arc, thus giving it away
B) requires either a body or (more ethically challenging) a pawn to play puppet with. (Dr. Lee did it to herself on purpose in the Notary arc.)
C) combining both above – her nanites don’t seem to be mobile outside of her body (has been shown bottled) – so should the proverbial something bad happen, no way to escape to the outside.
Not that they’d necessarily want to encourage her to explore the full extent of her powers, but there’s no reason she couldn’t investigate human communities like she did the animal ones. It’s unethical, yet highly effective…
Dunno about that – he’s vivisected who knows how many sparks and still hasn’t found out what makes a spark a spark. Helen probably knows a bit more since she was able to develop a cure for the mad.
I’m reading the Girl Genius novelizations now – some nice added nuances, and some internal dialog. Action sequences run faster than the graphic version however.
I guess they couldn’t get hold of another brain-making machine. (But IIRC, it does wear off fairly quickly, and smuggling large numbers of fresh brains into an asylum presents certain practical difficulties).
Skip the “I know nothing about” and you got a winner.
Madblood would disagree with you about that.
I see no possible way this plan can fail.
Unity could always use an eyebrow pencil…
Or, if she keeps going, possibly a skull pencil.
The newer 3-D printers could easily handle eyebrows.
Adam Savage would be so proud!
Unity is so happy that she’s got dangerous chemicals.
Really, she’s happy with pretty much anything highly dangerous.
Hypothetically, couldn’t she transpose her nanites into another body to use as a shell so she isn’t immediately recognized?
Normal bodies reject the nanites before long, remember? She won’t be able to do much as a black puddle in the floor.
That’s probably a yes and no –

You actually may have something going there. Get some, er, recently-deceased person, preferably one they didn’t do an autopsy on, and go as him/her
I don’t see an autopsy as a problem. Just as long as she doesn’t wear anything low-cut.
Not that they’d necessarily want to encourage her to explore the full extent of her powers, but there’s no reason she couldn’t investigate human communities like she did the animal ones. It’s unethical, yet highly effective…
Okay, she’s got the basic idea distilled, now they just need to add some nuances to give her performance some flavor.
That, and make sure whatever chemicals they give her don’t explode if they mix. U.N.I.T.Y. would enjoy that just a little too much for comfort.
Ironic isn’t it? Between smart unity and nice unity, you’ve almost got a complete mad scientist. But you can’t do both at once.
Call Klaus Wulfenbach, he’ll straighten her out. Afterwards. Eventually.

If she were playing with dioxygen difluoride, the proper sound effect would be “FOOF”
