Xombi | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) | comment |
Xombi is a 1994 series by Milestone Comics.David Kim is a Korean scientist who developed a nanotechnological virus capable of extensive tissue regeneration. After being injured during an attempted theft by Dr. Sugarman, David was injected with the virus, allowing him to regenerate by absorbing nearby materials and making him functionally immortal.This was Milestone's supernatural title and seriously weird (we're talking Doom Patrol weird here.)Years later, a 2011 miniseries was made where David Kim had to fight against a new threat. The title would also be rebooted as part of Milestone Returns in the 2020s, under the new title of DUO. | |

Full-Frontal Assault | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) / int_18ce8f1d | comment |
Full-Frontal Assault: Both Manuel and Manuella Dexterity are assassins who never wear clothes. Granted, their lower bodies are giant hands, so the only private parts exposed are Manuella's breasts. The tenth issue has David Kim mutated into a two-faced monster by the villains, who attacks his allies naked. His nanites eventually restore him to normal in time for a nude brawl with Manuella Dexterity. | |

Origins Episode | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) / int_7bc8c453 | comment |
Origins Episode: The series starts with a zero-numbered issue where David Kim is introduced as already having his regenerative abilities in addition to being involved with the general scope of the Dakotaverse. The first arc of the subsequent ongoing was devoted to explaining how he got his powers. | |

Healing Factor | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Healing Factor: Xombi has a Nanomachines based healing factor. It's treated more realistically in that the title character does explicitly need raw organic material to properly heal. In the first issue, his lab assistant is partially devoured when she rests her body against his own while he's healing. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: Rustling Husks are mummies animated by the revived corpses of wasps who died caught between two window panes - as they died, they could see the outside but could never reach it. Needless to say, their reanimated corpses hate humans and by extension all living things. In short, they're pissed. | |

Weirdness Magnet: Dear God, Xombi, in spades. David Kim's status as an immortal, artificial zombie makes him the target of a lot of weird plots. | |

Nuns Are Funny | |
| Xombi (Comic Book) / int_fe1e7 | comment |
Nuns Are Funny: despite not being comedic figures, there was Nun of the Above, who had clairvoyant abilities, and Nun the Less, who could shrink. The humor mainly came from their punny names, and there was a third nun whose task was to guard a door to an underground prison. When asked which nun she was, she replied "None of your business." | |
