Exploration is ill-advised.
Fraternal twins are iirc not an uncommon result of IVF/test tube baby treatments iirc due to how they work. There's a few reasons he could have had two, maybe not on purpose but he decided to roll with it.

Unlike normal IVF, he was controlling every aspect of the process, including building an artificial womb with space for two babies. Do you think Doc would bother with that if he didn't have to?

It's also possible he decided to make two just in case one came out wrong.

I am in hospital recovering from an appendectomy and had to stop reading the interview part way because my laughing was painful. Bless you Doc and Jackson. May you keep making stuff i can enjoy even if it isn't VB.

Ow.

What kinda of capitol would be needed to publish to YouTube?
Doc and Jackson don't do the animating, so that would need farmed out. I'm so far removed I couldn't even pretend to guess a number.

From watching a clip last night I realized that Grover Cleveland's Time Machine storyline took place so far along the VB storyline Doc just called Monarch 'Malcolm'
I also realized that Dr Killinger was not a guy impersonating Kissinger, he actually was Kissinger in the VB story. He made a throwaway comment about Nixon. (He is like ze proud papa). I know he's a villain enabler but I didn't think he was THAT bad.
It also never occurred to me that the blastoff from the poop rocket killed all the tunnel orphans.
Also: Dragoon was loving BUILT in the 10 seconds his whole body was on screen. Or that the bird shot accidentally in the last ep with the sovereign actually was the sovereign.

It's kinda sad that Doc doesn't want to be a bad person but is incapable of being a good person.
But those blue glasses were just a bad fashion choice on Killinger's part.

That having been said, all those college interns mutating and Rusty exploiting it in 'What color is your clean suit' is one of those things that would be awful even by villain standards.
Easily the worst thing that Rusty ever did. Worse than the circumstances behind Dermott's birth. Worse than using an orphan's heart for the joy can (and seriously that is some magic bullshit. How was Rusty super scienceing an orphan's heart?)

Besides, it worked out well for most of them. They returned to normal and forgot they ate people.

With the only side effect being a feeling that something untoward happened.

In the Venture universe that's a pretty good outcome.

I think what they mean is you say that when somebody says something that makes sense given their avatar, but this is the opposite: somebody quotes your avatar and you want to geek out about it without being weird.

Thanks to Sheila. Y'know, I feel like much like Rusty has the potential but not the desire to be a great villain, she could have been an excellent hero, it was just the Guild that snapped her up first.

Sheila is hyper competent and probably could succeed at whatever she wanted to do.

That having been said. The council of 13 could probably use some diversity though. One Asian, one woman, one and a half red people (I mean literally red people, Red Death and Radical Left) and the rest is white dudes. I think. Was Phage white? Dot Matrix for Co13. Also Think Tank if and when he gets better but he probably has some arching to get out of his system first.

She's extremely competent and I think that goes well with being on either side, but her personality meshes so well with villainy that I think "hero sheila" would probably choose to switch sides eventually
