	I got this great idea to lock superhuman bodies up where they can be safe from people who wish to cause the public harm. I mean seriously, nothing bad can come from this... right? It's not like the bodies are going to get up and start ripping people's hearts out. That's just nonsense. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well considering the resurection rate on both sides of super community the idea of dead people getting up isn't that crazy but I thought the idea behind this was to prevent villians from usgin body parts of dead supers to make clones, Frankenstein monsters and such.

	Well according to that Dr. Mid-Nite story from a while back they would just resort to harvesting parts from living heroes and villains. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yeah, but nothing stops Nekron, you might as well just deal with your dead as you please and forget about it if it's him you're worried about, stick 'em in the dirt next to Aunt Mabel out back of the old local Lutheran church guarded by nothing but the priest's glaucoma-ridden 16-year-old dog if you like.

Anybody who needs a body is foiled by that body's dissolution, and anybody who doesn't need a body isn't going to be impressed by your cold storage vault, is all I'm saying, here.

It's a good start but nowhere near enough though. Keep in mind that Green Arrow got resurrected from a single microscopic particle that landed on Superman's costume and somehow didn't come out after years of washing. You need to shoot them into a star where nuclear fusion will take them apart on a subatomic level to be safe. Even then well even the best DC writer have a tendency to underestimate what a star is and what can survive in there.

	Ehn . . . a lot of (Judeo-Christian derived) religions discourage cremation (and have outright prohibited in the past), and I'm pretty sure it still has some kinda cultural stigma attached to it (although much lessened nowadays). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even if the relatives of the villains objected to that, it's not like they have any rights; look at what happened to Captain Boomerang. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm pretty sure cremating someone actively radioactive or worse (Chemo comes to mind) is a bad, BAD idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	On a brighter note, it's nice to see a happy/positive/friendly conversation in the DCU. (Reply to this)

	While I like that they're policing their dead to prevent mad scientists from using them for spare parts, I really dislike their treatment of villain remains. "Heroes? We have to honor them! But the villains, eh, lets shove them in the basement." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sistermagpie 2009-10-27 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	Seriously. It's just weird having superheroes in charge of villains' bodies in general. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	taggerung301 2009-10-27 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	well, personally, I would be more interested in knowing that the biologically enhanced remains of a mass-murdering super villian were stored safely away to prevent cloning then knowing that their family (assuming that they didn't kill their own family) can have a nice little graveplot for them (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Correction -- it's "Let's *dig them up* and shove them in the basement."

There are several villains listed that have been dead for years -- heck, Wally went to the read of the first Icicle's will!

If you don't want the supervillains bodies out there, get a court order for cremation. But a morgue -- which implies that the bodies are there and available for autopsy/dissection/research -- is just creepy.
