Goddamn misogynistic radiation! Fight patriarchal particle decay!

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Misogynistic Radiation would be an absolutely amazing band name

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When the misogynistic radiation ionizes oxygen, it smells exactly like Axe body spray. So strange.

Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

When your family is so brilliant they die from it.

No true, he would've become a superhero like the meme suggests.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Obviously he was actually a woman, or he wouldn't have died.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

Don't give JK Rowling ideas.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Or turned intona superhero but is good at hiding it

[–] Sirius006@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

What actually happened is Joliot turned into a supervilain, he killed Pierre Curie before he could become a superhero, but was ultimately defeated by Henri Bequerel, who is immortal.

I thought this was common knowledge.

In the meantime Irene Joliot died of the radiations, as everybody would expect.

Did anyone check Marie's grave?

Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell's - just to fuck with Einstein.

the true nuclear family

Now I want an ossie of The Hulk where Madame Curie bursts through The Green Door as the hulkest hulk that ever hulked.

MARIE CURIE IS STRONGEST THERE IS!

Compound V works on women

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And then there was that guy who ingested radium like a supplement and his jaw decayed. He was bulletproof, however. And he had laser beam eyes. It’s sort of a mixed bag.

This does sound like a Marvel mutant? I think his name was "Furnace"? He had no jaw and his chest was flaming energy?

Edit: That was not his name:

Jono Starsmore, also known as Chamber, is a mutant who possesses mutant abilities including the generation and manipulation of concussive blasts of psionic energy from a furnace in his chest, telepathy for communication and mental manipulation.

I don't think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Banner is a gamma source iirc, especially when Hulk is out

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 0 points 2 days ago

Maybe. But IIRC it's still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn't become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.

Ironically it's only Spider-Man that has killed women with radioactive sperm

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

she got a blood transfusion from Banner

The existence of blood transfusions implies the existence of blood cisfusions.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago

Isn't that basically dialysis?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 0 points 2 days ago

What led you to that ciscendental revelation?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would love to see a movie about her where she gets super powers instead of dying

[–] meliaesc@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] ColdSideOfYourPillow@piefed.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Imagine the She-Hulk movie if it were good. Yeah, this is it.

[–] nef@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 days ago

She-Hulk was a TV show, and IMO it's among the better half of Marvel shows (which isn't saying much).

Found the Polish

[–] Cintari@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago
[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She should have been born in a comic book instead of real life.

Classic mistake.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe she should have been named Bruce. It's our strongest name!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 2 days ago

Jack'll crack when the Bruce is loose.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

I mean, she is highly venerated by the scientific community, such that her research is still kept around despite being highly radioactive. Also, she was a living human being, as opposed to, y’know, a comic book character.
