Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke	comment	Once upon a time, superheroes inevitably gained their superpowers from radiation, the latest and most mysterious-yet-powerful fad of the 50s and 60s. Technology Marches On, however, and gene splicing has replaced atom smashing as the most glamorous sciencey stuff: nowadays, many modern remakes of classic superheroes go with Genetic Engineering. Be it a bite from a genetically engineered spider, or exposure to it in a freak accident, genetically engineered origins are the Phlebotinum for the 21st century. It is worth noting that in Real Life rarely are the effects of genetic engineering anything like those portrayed in speculative fiction yet. Genetic Engineering also lends itself to being weaponized to do exactly the same thing as those ultracool nukes that kill people but leave buildings standing. Now that a nuclear apocalypse is substantially less likely (or at least less likely to wipe us all out), and chemical weapons just aren't destructive enough in terms of human life, biological weapons make a nice scary (and vague) alternative. Synthetic Plagues may be one of the most mundane examples, but they're certainly one of the most obviously dangerous. A Bioweapon Beast is as genetically designed Attack Animal, for when it needs to be more obviously monstrous. May lead to Bio-Augmentation and Mutants, or even mutant creatures too horrible to describe. Superpowerful Genetics may either come from this or have a hand on the engineering overall. It's also interesting to note the other favourite sources of weirdness used by SF writers before the advent of nuclear physics. See also Organic Technology, for (usually) even more advanced version.

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke / int_112decbc	comment	Planet of the Apes: In the original Planet of the Apes (1968), movies the apes simply "evolved" greater intelligence. In the remakes, they're genetically engineered. In Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it appears that mankind will be wiped out by the genetically engineered virus which gives the apes intelligence instead of the nuclear war from the original. The novelization for Planet of the Apes (2001) reveals that the apes were engineered by the surviving crew of the Oberon to protect them against Big Creepy-Crawlies with a Hive Mind.

Yes, the origin story for the heroes homeworld is that Earth was bombarded by genetic engineering weapons that caused fault lines to shift, seas to drain, and left the planet uninhabitable in many places for many years. Which is what you'd expect to happen if a planet got hit by several thousand multi-megaton nuclear weapons.

The trope is later given reality when Cole and Zeke fire a nuclear missile (having been bought and stored away by Bertrand as a last resort) at the Beast — the most powerful conduit to ever appear in the series — and it manages to rebuild its body within minutes.

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke / int_33acebd8	comment	In Guilty Gear, the titular Gears were created by extensive genetic modification of humans and animals, along with being empowered by magic, as weapons of war. Gears come in different classes which vary wildly in appearance and ability, but nearly all Gears are exceptionally resilient and difficult to kill, and they can rapidly regenerate their wounds — Dizzy, a young Command-class, was able to survive a thousand-foot-high drop from an airship. Sol Badguy, the Gear Super Prototype, has nonchalantly got up and completely recovered after being riddled with machine gun fire, shrugged off being impaled through the chest with a BFS that was specially designed to kill Gears, and tanked an ICBM going off in his face. Sin, a human-Gear hybrid, was once punched by Sol so hard that the tree he was tied to was uprooted and flung several hundred yards and crashed through other trees behind it and was only slightly dazed for a bit. The more humanoid gears such as the ones mentioned also possess an affinity for magic and all the destructive power that goes along with it.

However, most of them rarely use them for fighting, just purely cosmetic. To them, it is pretty much getting a tattoo in today's time. Just as tattooing can have unwanted side effects (such as allergies and infection) even with clean equipment, splicing can have negative effects as well (increased aggression and impulsiveness are noted in the episode "Splicers"). The Justice League episode "Epilogue" reveals that Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond is the result of this: Amanda Waller decided that there should always be a Batman and sought to create one, stealing some DNA from Bruce Wayne, genetically altering Terry's future father so that he was now Bruce Wayne DNA-wise, and (when Terry was old enough) trying to get his parents killed.

In fact she and the rest of her "species" was only created as experimental "proof of concept" prototypes regarding potential colonisation efforts on Death Worlds (ie, uplift the local fauna) and would most likely either have stayed as frozen Zygotes, or be forced to grown up under extremely controlled conditions if it wasn't for Dr. Bowman's meddling. Dr. Bowman's species was eventually classified as biological weapons once their Sociopathic Soldier nature became known to the public. Leading them to all die off except him and which probably explains why laws against uplifting animals exists in the first place. Averted with Designer Babies. Which are very common.

These weapons can be BFSs that can slice clean through Humongous Mecha or ribbons of light than can repair anything (including a completely decimated bridge). Yes, it is a genetic weapon. It winds up being implanted in an Ordinary High-School Student at the end of episode one.

Pure Harmony does everything from breeding Godzilla-like tamed monsters to hybridizing their human foot soldiers with alien DNA and giving them a Healing Factor whenever they breathe otherwise poisonous spores, all with the intention of integrating humans into the alien ecosystem to prevent the Great Mistake from ever happening again. Harmony/Purity uses gene-engineering with the expressed purpose of creating the perfect human being, creating superhuman shock-troopers. Harmony/Supremacy combines radical gene-engineering with cybernetic augmentation and a "power at any cost" mentality to create a new species so far removed from humanity that they're completely unrecognisable.

Other PokÃ©mon which traditionally evolve through these stones can only do so if gene therapy has been used to infuse them with an Eevee's genes; if they haven't received this therapy, they can't evolve.

Several of the heroes and villains series get their powers from the "Neogenic Recombinator", a device that uses a controlled beam of radiation to rewrite a subject's genetic code, and "neogenics" is a new science which is being investigated by many parties.

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: In The Eternals, the godlike aliens called the Celestials create two Human Subspecies by experimenting on humans: the ugly, shape-shifting Deviants, and their enemies, the Physical God Eternals, which after a bit of space-travel and civil war ended up founding a colony on Saturn's moon Titan, which eventually spawned Thanos, who conducted further genetic experiments on himself to make himself stronger. The Celestials split other alien races into Deviants and Eternals as well — the Skrulls are a race of Deviants who conquered their entire planet and built an interstellar empire, after slaughtering the mainline and Eternal offshoots. The Celestial schema seems to be Order/Potential/Chaos: The Skrull Deviants are shapeshifters — their form is chaotic. The Earth Deviants have random genes and forms — their heredity is chaotic. Earth Eternals: Cosmic-powered Flying Brick variants, Skrulls: Contemplative mystics (implied; the last Skrull Eternal married the leader of the Deviants, then elevated them both to godhood). The main control group has untapped potential, though no one knows what the Skrulls' might have been, since the Deviants killed them all. About the time the Celestials showed up on Marvel Earth, the Elder Gods had a similar idea and started making their own species, though these were engineered magically — Set created the Serpent Men, whilst Oshtur and Chthon created numerous good and evil races, respectively, with Chthon going out of his way to corrupt and re-engineer some of Oshtur's (or attempting to, with varying levels of success). A lot of improbable origins, including many of the 'radiation is magic' type, have been retconned as Celestial experiments resulting in people who would gain powers from things that would kill most people. Before this, it was often theorized by fans that maybe these people were mutants with a 'get powers instead of cancer from radiation/toxic waste' power, or latent mutations triggered by the Freak Lab Accident; this seems to be Ascended Fanon without making everybody an X-Man. The Inhumans are a result of Kree experiments exploiting humanity's potential for superhuman abilities. Silent War revolves around S.H.I.E.L.D. getting a hold of the Inhumans' mutagenic Terrigen Mist and trying to create its own Inhumans for military use. It doesn't work out so well. Similar to the above, Spider-Man's origins have moved from being bit by a radioactive spider in the original to being bit by a genetically enhanced "super spider" in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man, and both the original movie and the reboot. The '90s Spider-Man cartoon actually goes half-way, being bit by a spider that was hit by "neogenic" radiation. The mainstream comics eventually decide to hint that his powers might actually be magic, which to be fair makes more sense than radiation. Spider-Man 2099, however, goes fully this way — Miguel O'Hara is a geneticist who's working on ways to combine man with beast for helpful purposes, but he's drugged with the Fantastic Drug Rapture, which affects him on a genetic level. He attempts to cleanse himself of it with a previous version of his DNA, but a jealous co-worker sabotages it, turning him into who we know now. Ultimate Marvel takes this trope all the way, with genetic engineering being compared to nuclear weapons in other ways, such as international Super-Soldier escalation and treaties being proposed to curb it. Several Ultimate Spider-Man rogues (as well as Spidey himself) are re-imagined to be the subjects of secret, illegal super soldier experiments from Oscorp, and other superheroes and villains are designed by secret government projects for the same end. Ultimate Origins reveals that this includes mutants. Mark Millar's big finale to The Ultimates take this to the logical extreme, with the team racing to stop radicalized countries like North Korea from getting their own superhumans. The X-Men have always been mutants, but interestingly, the earliest issues of the X-Men comics refer to them as "children of the atom" and say that Xavier is a mutant because of radiation his parents were exposed to before he was born. Current X-Men comics have abandoned the nuclear angle in favor of pure genetics, but all mutants are the end result of genetic engineering — by the Celestials (see above), tens of thousands of years ago. The Krakoan age has established that their ultimate enemy is homo novissima, which are humans who use genetic engineering to create a race full of ultra-powerful metahumans, in contrast to mutans who get their abilities from evolution.

A similar experiment later turns up in Stargate Atlantis. Somewhat subverted, though, as powers tend to come from characters being naturally or artificially evolved toward some post-human ideal that results in ascension. Rather than powers being some unique attribute, all characters tend to evolve in roughly the same way. Other "superpowers" are usually the result of alien technology that operates on unexplained principles or some vague appeal to quantum mechanics (which probably ties back into how near-ascended beings actually do what they do, anyway).

While most of the games' creatures — such as the ghouls, the numerous and varied kinds of Big Creepy-Crawlies and the two-headed cattle and deer — are explicitly descended from normal animals mutated by nuclear fallout and lingering radiation, many others are eventually descended from experiments in biotech. The most common cause is the FEV, the Forced Evolutionary Virus. This was a mutagen created by the U.S. government in an attempt to create living weapons for the war against China, whose effects mostly center on increased muscle mass and aggression, as well as decreased intelligence and complete sterility. The super mutants — stupid, vicious and aggressive hulking green humanoids — are the result of humans being exposed to the FEV.

What's more, some comments from the developers indicate that tensions surrounding FEV research were the flashpoint for the global nuclear war that ravaged the planet, making this trope almost literally true. Other creatures in the games are the result of separate genetic engineering projects. According to some sources, Deathclaws are the products of direct genetic engineering to create ideal soldiers, resulting in three- to four-meter-tall hulks of armor, muscle, fangs and aggression. According to other sources, the mole rats were created as the ultimate invasive pests to be planted in enemy territory, with their resulting high adaptability and rapid breeding rates allowing them to survive and thrive in the wasteland. This applies to a number of other (significantly less widespread) creatures as well, with more canonical certainty. The cazadors — wasps the size of eagles — and the nightstalkers — coyotes with the heads and tails of rattlesnakes — were created officially as security animals, and in reality because a Mad Scientist got bored.

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: The Eugenics Wars (aprx. 1993-1996) were a series of wars caused by an attempt to improve humanity through selective breeding and genetic engineering. Records of the era are patchy, so exact causes are unknown, but in 1992 genetically augmented Super-Soldier Khan Noonien Singh gained control over more than half the Eastern hemisphere. The following year, over forty nations were overthrown by Augments, most of whom proceeded to enslave unaugmented humans to varying degrees. The subsequent wars nearly plunged the Earth into a second Dark Age and killed over 37 million. As such, genetics is a scientific field that the Federation is very leery about. Genetic engineering was also a main cause of World War III (2026-2056), a genocidal conflict that killed 600 million, destroyed many of the planet's major cities and governments, and irradiated the atmosphere causing several nuclear winters. Recovery as a species was perhaps only possible through the help of the Vulcans, whom we made First Contact with in 2063, shortly after the official end of the war. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Founders, the ruling caste of the Dominion, utilize bio/genetic engineering to create super soldiers and personal advisors. Once upon a time, a primate family hid a gravely injured Founder from pursuers.

They wear no helmets (1, 130), wear carapaces that have no semblance to Nazi uniforms (21, 130), have superior eye sight that makes them expert marksmen (4, 56), possess exceptional strength and hand-eye coordination (236) are asexual in design (33, 43, 51, 84, 153), gain sustenance from a single source the Founders have absolute control over and require nothing else to function (127, 200, fark-9), require no sleep or rest (172, fark-9), work for the pleasure of obeying the "order of things" imprinted in their instincts (44, 48, 94, fark-9), have no fear or qualms using human wave attacks for the "order of things" (75, 234), memorize the entire manual with eidetic memory (57), and finally, can camouflage themselves to match the surroundings (237). And that's just the "design" part, not including their equally thorough training. Their design, summarized by Quark, is that "the Jem'Hadar don't eat, don't sleep and don't have sex". Bashir, also from Deep Space Nine, demonstrates the impact that genetic engineering on Earth had on Federation policy. By law, genetically enhanced individuals like Bashir cannot serve in Starfleet or practice medicine. Deconstructed in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, where Number One's genetically augmented immune system is key to solving the problem of the week in one episode, but gets her arrested by the season finale. Humanity has been so traumatized by the Eugenics Wars that a benign and useful augmentation carried by someone close to being an Ideal Hero gets put down with the same ruthlessness as someone cooking up another Khan. This leads to an Internal Deconstruction in the second season where we see that it's forced those who genetically engineered themselves for survival not superiority are forced to live in fear because of those prejudices.

With Spaarti cylinders, humans could be safely grown in as little as a year without ysalamiri, and as little as a month with them. While they grew, they received flash training, so it was possible to get an army in as little as two months. The Hand of Thrawn duology has a clone who had a bit of Thrawn mixed into his learning matrix in the hopes of making a leader with Thrawn's ability and long-range thinking. In Galaxy of Fear there is a cloning method that works in hours, but the results are too unstable to be particularly useful.

There are even conversations in the film about the potential dangers of the misuse of genetic engineering, equating them to the dangers posed by nuclear weapons. The Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria made from G-Cells is ironically used to stop Godzilla. Nevertheless, other nations see it as a huge threat that could upset the balance of power since it could render nuclear weapons redundant despite Japan making it clear that they only want to use it on Godzilla. In fact, several countries try to steal it, and one agent is sent to kill the only man who knows how to make it.

(Of course, part of what made them effective in this case was that Society members had easy access to DNA samples of their intended targets courtesy of the scientist caste being charged with managing the breeding program just mentioned in the first place.)

The Lizard too, is a result of Curt Connors dosing himself with an electrically catalyzed formula containing genetically modified lizard DNA. The big one, though, is many of Spidey's enemies — Rhino, Sandman, Kraven, etc. — are the result of OsCorp experiments designed to create superhumans, some of whom were pitted against Spidey for the sole purpose of distracting him so that he is too busy dealing with them to worry about The Man Behind the Man Tombstone and all the crime he is behind (other villains are tech based). The Green Goblin, likewise, got his powers from an experimental superhuman serum. The series was Screwed by the Network, but had it continued it would have adapted The Clone Saga which would have continued using this trope as a theme, with Mad Scientist Miles Warren already working on such stuff by the end of the second season.

Unlike most of what the PokÃ©dex says, this was unmistakably true, at least in Generation I. Not only was the Psychic-type a total Game-Breaker, but Mewtwo had the highest base stat total of all 150+1 mons at the time. Later generations have introduced PokÃ©mon that would surpass the Genetic PokÃ©mon, but Mewtwo is still one tough bastard. Mewtwo later takes back his title as the world's strongest Pokemon with his Mega Evolutions, which are stronger than Arceus. Of course, where the Mega stones for the man-made Mewtwo came from isn't explained. In PokÃ©mon Black and White, this trope is also the method in which Genesect was created. Its backstory is that it was revived from a fossil and fitted with a laser cannon. The project was officially scrapped by N due to what he perceived as "tampering with a perfect design", but a scientist continued the project and Genesect was the end result. Attempted in PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon with Type: Null, a PokÃ©mon engineered from scratch by the Aether Foundation as a means of defense against Eldritch Abominations known as Ultra Beasts leaking into Alola. Three were created and were initially called "Type: Full". Unfortunately, all three Type: Fulls rejected the RKS system and went berserk. Eventually, they were fitted with masks and the project was deemed a failure. Type: Full was renamed Type: Null and they were put in cryostasis. That is, until the events of the game, when Gladion, the son of the Aether Foundation President, snuck out of Aether with one of the Type: Nulls, discovers its latent power and evolves it into Silvally, who is able to properly control its power and can combat the Ultra Beasts.

Instead, he created special organs that could be implanted into them, essentially making them fleshy cyborgs. Not all Space Marines could undergo that organ transplant treatment, primarily being too old when they started. Different methods were used accepted to alter these recruits (most notably Kor Phaeron of the Word Bearers and Luther of the Dark Angels) into something close enough to be acceptable. While Kor Phaeron simply had as many organs as he was compatible with implanted, Luther instead underwent genetic engineering and biochemical enhancement. The Old Ones took this to an extreme, creating an entire race to fight a war for them: the Orks. The Orks were for the most part a success. It's too bad the Old Ones had already taken such heavy losses when they made them — the desperation being the entire reason they were willing to create the Orks — that they died off before they could install one last feature they held off on to rush the Orks into battle: the off-switch. According to the fluff, the Old Ones seemed to have had a general passion for creating life, including humanity (though they didn't have a specific plan for us; they were just bored). They created the Eldar to balance out the physically impressive but psychically weak Orks, making them essentially the opposite so that both species would complement each other during the War in Heaven. They were only barely enough to defeat the Necrons... and then the Enslavers turned up. More recent editions have mentioned "Men of Stone" and "Men of Gold", along with the better known "Men of Iron" that eventually turned on Mankind at the end of the Dark Age of Technology. According to Games Workshop veteran Alan Merrett, the former were artificial beings made of silicon, manufactured to spearhead humanity's expansion into deadly cosmic conditions. The latter were genetically engineered to be a superior offshoot of humanity, intended to rule and direct Stone, Iron, and Human. That did not go as planned.

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke / int_bcd27544	comment	Genome is all about how genetic engineering results in Designer Babies that are specialized and conditioned to love their "chosen" profession. This ranges from simple mental modifications (e.g., police detectives have a heightened sense of logic and love for truth and law and are unable to form emotional attachments; High Class Call Girls easily falling in love with their clients and cannot fall out of love until the client reciprocates) to physical ones (e.g. starship pilots have a well-developed cerebellum for balance and can shrug off a 30-foot fall; fighters can move in the blink of an eye and have extra arm joints; power plant specialists have radiation-proof skin and hair with the males able to "suck in" their genitals).

More recently, the two variants of Extremis: the unrefined version, created by Maya Hansen, is like the Iron Man 3 version, with physical enhancement, some fire powers, and a scary Healing Factor. The refined version, once HYDRA got their hands on the original, is programmable and far more stable, making for a terrifying super-weapon. Additionally, the Celestials are namechecked as having manipulated humanity's genetics way back in the past, creating Eternals and Deviants, as well as many other species — including, it is suggested, Kryptonians.

She even has abilities her specie is not even supposed to have (such as teleportation, that is usually exclusive to Alicorns). She is also much more skilled than other elves at general skills in general, such as telekinesis but strangely she lacks a feature all other elves possess, which is perfect coordination and flexibility and is very clumsy, even by human standards. All of this was done to make her a Messianic Archetype, but she rarely uses the full extent of her powers.

Three were created and were initially called "Type: Full". Unfortunately, all three Type: Fulls rejected the RKS system and went berserk. Eventually, they were fitted with masks and the project was deemed a failure. Type: Full was renamed Type: Null and they were put in cryostasis. That is, until the events of the game, when Gladion, the son of the Aether Foundation President, snuck out of Aether with one of the Type: Nulls, discovers its latent power and evolves it into Silvally, who is able to properly control its power and can combat the Ultra Beasts.

Wells, Moreau transforms animals on his island into Beast Folk and gives them intelligence through a gruesome prolonged surgical vivisection process that is left deliberately vague, because the author wanted among other things to make a point against animal vivisection, common during his time, so the "how" wasn't the point of the novel. In the 1996 movie adaptation, set in 2010, Moreau uses genetic engineering to create transgenic human/animal hybrids, some of whom look almost perfectly human, while others are humanoid but covered in fur and have snouts, hooves, horns, fangs and claws; without regular injections of Moreau's serum, however, these creatures lose their intelligence and slowly regress to their animal forms.
