Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mercury Heat is an American comic book, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Omar Francia and Nahuel Lopez.In the future, Luiza Bora is a would-be police officer, but is unable to secure employment in that position due to a personality disorder. The only place that will accept her as a cop is Mercury, where a lawless, dirty colony of workers maintains solar farms that empower "battery ships," sending much-needed cheap energy back home to Earth.Her first case is an investigation into an accidental death that may in fact be a murder, and which puts her in direct conflict with the powers that be. Luiza rapidly discovers that Mercury is even more of a hellhole than was previously advertised, and for reasons she couldn't have predicted. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Mercury Heat (Comic Book) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: We never actually see Earth except in flashback, but events on Mercury portray it as quietly dystopian. In particular, humans are subjected to a personality analysis which determines what careers they may or may not be fit to perform. It turns out, at the end of the first arc, that the terrorists Luiza's just wiped out had a point. Mercury doesn't have to be settled, and all of the workers who've died there did so for no reason; the whole thing has been carried out because the powers that be liked the idea of colonizing another planet. It's strictly public relations. | |

Bio-Augmentation | |
| Mercury Heat (Comic Book) / int_6651bba7 | comment |
Bio-Augmentation: Everyone on Mercury uses "crystal," a wetware mechanism that allows them to rapidly learn new languages, record short-term memories, do research via augmented reality, and edit their own long-term memory (often referred to as "blanking"). Luiza also has combat modifications, which include synthetic muscle fibers that she can overclock to induce superhuman strength, lower her own ability to feel pain, and reinforce crucial joints. It can also temporarily hijack her nervous system for evasive maneuvers. | |

Bare Your Midriff | |
| Mercury Heat (Comic Book) / int_9578e935 | comment |
Bare Your Midriff: Luiza is initially forced to modify her police uniform, which wasn't designed for Mercury, to a cropped shirt and shorts, as otherwise, she'd pass out from heat exhaustion. She later adopts a less revealing adaptation. | |
