Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

And now we have an entire culture that thinks that who they are is just fine and how dare anyone suggest they can improve themselves? Why aspire to be Superman when it’s so much easier to relate to Spider-Man? No one wants to look up to DC anymore, Seascorpion. They don’t want to strain their necks. Instead they look straight ahead at the compromised heroes in front of them and say "That’ll do just fine".


Spiderman commonly takes on foes more powerful than him and nearly dies repeatedly during his fights. He deals with being hated by the public, does the only jobs he can get (because of his "volunteer work" he's stuck working for a man that spouts hatemongering filth about his exploits and until he finished his degrees worked as a pizza guy, oh, did I mention during all this he was finishing off a doctorate?). He gets no respect from the public through most of his career, can barely make rent, has to help his ailing aunt, all of which could be solved if he put away his costume. But he doesn't. He refuses to stop helping people, risking his life (in some continuities loosing it) to make sure people are safe. He messed up and he learned his lesson and learned to take responsibility.

I'm sorry, but if you want a hero to look up too, I think you can't get much better than someone who is willing to risk everything to help.

That does sound quite good. Still prefer this guy overall though.

Did I mention that I said almost word for word what Lex Luthor said about Marvel?

Perhaps you've all heard about a series called "I'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC".


Though quite honestly, I've been playing Devil's Advocate, I can say you all have bad taste in superheros. Fuck Marvel, fuck DC, for I do not consider either my heroes.

To overcome all obstacles in our life, We evolve, beyond the person we were a minute before. Little by little, we advance a bit further with each turn! Until we shatter the very heavens themselves, to achieve our goals! We ignore the what-if's, maybes, and could have's, and carve our own destinies!

My heroes and heroines?

I have excellent taste, I opt out and pick leaders.

Is it me or do those robots look rather absurd?

Never thought I'd say this but Shinji's now a hero of mine. He's got though life by being meek and passive, born in a world half dead. He regularly risks a horrible death so his asshole father just might smile at him. And he manages to rise above it. Find a better reason to live, something to care about, someone to care about. He smashes though the machinations and the backstabbing and the horror to save the girl, even if it will end the world.

The kid creates a god to save the girl.

So? Simon creates a robot of pure spiral energy bigger than the universe itself.

And the robot is the re-incarnation of his adoptive brother.



Your hero makes gods?

Bitch, my heroes don't just break the laws of physics, they say move aside and then AWESOME is born.

Nah, silliness. Those big faces are rather distracting. Reinhard is just a wronged man who decided to fix everything.

He crowns himself and his stated plans for succession are "Come at me Bro".

Or the guy who overthrows a dynasty to protect his sister, and conquerors the rest of the universe because it's his dying friends last wish.

He still doesn't think about everyone.


Sounds like your heroes are selfish.

Yes he does. Sure the original reason was to protect his sister, but he is a devout reformer who overthrows the old corrupt nobility and frees the people.

He's not in it for the glory, he's there because it's the only way he can fix everything is if he's in charge of everything.

Even Superman doesn't die and then COME BACK.

I haven't read it, therefore it doesn't exist.

But Lamna, it does have a face.
