    Well, she seemed to enjoy it. The pause that refreshes, right?

    Standard mad science tropes predicts giant radioactive swamp terrorizing San Francisco, but the authors have been known to subvert them.

          San Francisco Giants playing terribly in a swamp.

      Unity still isn’t going to get that awesome headline.

      Giant radioactive swamp runs for San Francisco city council. It/She has 12% lead in the polls.

        Tsk — the preferred pronoun for radioactive swamps is they!

        Even people who obsess over arbitrary grammar rules would have to agree that was appropriate …

    Here’s hoping the swamp filters out radiation, too.

      Toxic is not the same as radioactive. Radioactive waste is more of a yellow, this is green.

        I’ve seen pop-cultural radiation in green, as well as blue. And occasionally pink.

          And furthermore in this universe if radioactive material was pink or blue at least some mad scientists would make it green just to be traditional, while others might decide to be edgy all radioactive material should be plaid, and are capable of making that reality.

      It probably filters toxicity and radiation. Swamps are cool, and this one is abnormal.

      There doesn’t have to be radioactivity. Ethylene glycol, for example, could have that green color. Toxic/hazardous is a vague term. There are legal definitions but they list lots of categories and probably don’t need to apply here.

      The authors can leave it as comic book-ish toxic waste and avoid nailing it down. Unless they can make nailing it down funny, and they probably could, bless their twisted hearts.

    Well, that appears to be going better than expected. So far.

    This is how you get a swamp thing, as properly documented, and scientifically annotated in the chronicles of comic books.

      I feel I should point out that this swamp already is a thing, just far more widely distributed than the prototype you are pointing out. It probably has many of the same powers, just slower locomotion.

    In honor of the release of SOLO: A STAR WARS story – “I got a bad feeling about this.”

    The swamp lives in a sewer, wastewater is what it drinks!

    It’s probably not a good idea to let people know they can dump their toxic waste on the swamp long term…

    I hope Unity hasn’t inadvertently created the Biomass!

    What the hell is that stuff? I’m pretty sure sewage doesn’t normally glow green.

      This is California. It could be just about anything.

    Well, probably a better filtration system than what they already had.
