“That’s right, I sold Mell’s DNA to some government agency” and “Her brain was cloned from DNA samples sold to us by some mad scientist”. When you combine these (admittedly paraphrased) lines together, you get a pretty strong hint-drop.
So if we gene-spliced Dr. Lee and Mell… {suddenly being launched into geosynchronous orbit from the force of the gushing nosebleed induced by that mental image…}
Unilee just has the small but very-important-for-hotness thing that Dr. Lee lacks: Unadulterated confidence. It’s a good portion of why I like mad scientists, amd panel 1 has it on display.

Wait, the government bioweapon project Helen sold Mell’s DNA samples to was the U.N.I.T.Y. project? When was that established?!

Sonofabitch. It’s the blood-fever made flesh.
Shaenon even pointed this out in the Narbonic Director’s Cut. She’s all but confirmed it.
Also, Unity’s kiss clause amuses me. Regardless of who wins, she gets to smooch Tigerlily.

Funny thing is, Dr. Lee already looks like an older version of Mell.
