| Genocide Man (Webcomic) | comment |
Genocide Man is the story of Jacob Doe, one of the titular Genocide Men, a man tasked with hunting out and destroying dangerous "ideas" in the aftermath of the Open Source Movement, when military secrets became public knowledge, a time period where every possible piece of scientific knowledge was available to everyone, which, among other things, resulted in a Zombie Apocalypse in China, the extinction of the Jewish people (and all redheads), and the deaths of two thirds of the world's total population. Ideas can be very dangerous in a future where the technology exists to make even the most terrible ideas a reality. Jacob Doe is 98 years old, and has seen, and done, many terrible things... and his life is about to become much more complicated.The comic ended with 20 chapters in November 2016.Brought to us by the author who brought us Indefensible Positions. | |

Sinister Suffocation | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_14b3205b | comment |
Sinister Suffocation: If their name wasn't enough of a red flag, the Genocide Agents' signature weapon is a magnetic pistol with paralytic darts that kill through slow suffocation. The defected agent Jacob continues to use one as an Anti-Hero, which is unbearable for his Empath friend to watch. It's also Exploited when one of his Only Mostly Dead victims is revived by the villains and comes back with a grudge. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Kevin does it pretty quickly, taking the advice that it's sometimes better to beg forgiveness than ask permission and promptly uses it to justify pissing off every nation on Earth while killing loads of people. Kentaro decides it's probably why all A.I.s eventually go insane: when you're the smartest being on Earth, you feel an obligation to help. Then you realize that you can solve an awful lot of problems by killing people. Then you realize that you can solve bigger and bigger problems by killing more and more people... | |

| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_1b465242 | comment |
Conditioned to Accept Horror: The entire world has suffered a Mad Scientist Apocalypse so traumatizing that they've given control to a group of mass murderers whose only purpose is to commit genocide on mad scientists and their victims before they can commit even worse genocides on everyone else. The very fact that genocide itself has been institutionalized is the first sign that everything has gone horribly wrong. | |

Red Right Hand | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_25b7257f | comment |
Red Right Hand: Genocide Men (and women) have all-white eyes. Technically, this is just an artistic choice to portray the Empty Eyes that come from dealing with genetic deviants and committing regular purges for the better part of sixty years, but their eyes are apparently so prominent and unmistakable in their lack of life and warmth that characters remark on it, one even thinking they had to be implants because no real eyes could look so empty. | |

| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: The Genocide Project was intended to stop extremist groups from committing (larger) genocides. Now they mostly exterminate people who have the wrong genes, though at least some of those "wrong genes" involve natural weapons, enhanced combat abilities, an insatiable need to kill, etc. | |

Longevity Treatment | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_342c2ebc | comment |
Longevity Treatment: The titular Genocide Men had a variety of procedures done that allowed them to continue operating well into their 90s or 100s — artificial glands to stabilize hormones, nanotube-laced skeletons to prevent broken bones, and telomerase to prevent cancer. The former two sets of augmentations have other bonuses as well. Jacob is ninety-eight but thanks to his mods he is still one of the deadliest men in the world. | |

Kick the Dog: Kevin eventually murders one of his workers for bringing him bad news before tea. It's the last straw for Lola, who finally takes him out. More-humorously, Jacob reminisces about his last trip to India, when Joey killed a pile of sacred cows for no other reason than because he could. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Kevin Kidd abuses his powers as director to hold the entire world hostage, growing increasingly unhinged over the story, and then impulsively murders one of his technicians because "he didn't get coffee". This unchecked megalomania convinces the R&D team he has to be stopped, so they promote Lola Lamb to director by giving her a mech to stomp Kevin with. Evil Overlords, take a note: if you make an enemy of the public AND kill your own advisors and wizards at random, your department has no reason to just leave you in power. At the very least, they can replace you with a slightly-more reasonable overlord. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_40496097 | comment |
Part of the reason why AIs are so dangerous on going insane is that they follow the command to kill themselves rather faithfully, but tend to pick some very destructive methods to do so, including "Kamikaze every single plane in the area into my general location" and "kill every world leader I dislike in front of Jacob Doe so he'll kill me". | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: A terrifying subversion, as every AI is guaranteed to go insane after it has been active long enough, and the smarter the AI, the quicker it is. One AI had a sanity-span of five minutes, because they needed him clever enough to figure several people's locations on the fly within seconds of activation. It didn't even last that long... The worst part is the reason we're ultimately given as to why AI will go insane. Simply put, the reason is that the longer an AI is active, the more it gets to look at all of the problems in the world and analyze potential solutions for those problems. However, the solution to those problems is a logical paradox. Humans are adaptive creatures, and calamity makes them stronger. As an insane AI puts it, "There's only one way to help them, and it's a paradox. If you have gifts to give them, if you want to see them thrive, if you truly, deeply love human beings... then kill as many of them as you can." There is eventually revealed to be a way to achieve long-term, if not necessarily indefinite, AI stability. Unfortunately, it has a failure condition and imposes an effective upper limit on how smart the AI can be: fool the AI into thinking it is human. This seems to mostly work for the Kentaro and Fumiaki AIs, allowing them to last for years... up until they find out what they are, at which point they begin sliding downward. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_45fe3a2e | comment |
Utopia Justifies the Means: Ironically, this viewpoint is used by both the Genocide Project, and those that they fight against. In a world where the technology exists to make any idea a reality (and how many people have thought that the world would be perfect if this or that group of people were not in it?), a lot of people have tried to make the world a better place by wiping out anyone that they believed hindered a perfect society. This kind of viewpoint has killed billions in this story. Meanwhile, for the Genocide Men, they justify the many acts they do as being for the greater good. While it may be true that they have more scientific research, more funding, and a wider worldview than most other organizations, the truth is, they have killed just as many, or more, than the ones they have fought against. | |

No Transhumanism Allowed | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_4612ec70 | comment |
No Transhumanism Allowed: Genocide Man takes this to its logical conclusion — after a series of wars fought with Super Soldiers and Synthetic Plagues wiped out two-thirds of the planet's population, the beneficiaries of any form of genetic engineering are hunted down and slaughtered. The death of thousands of unaltered humans is considered acceptable in this task. According to the titular Genocide Man, the only way to kill an idea is to kill every single person that holds it, and the idea that baseline humanity can be replaced and made obsolete needs to be eliminated. However, the Genocide Project has no issue with augmenting their agents in other ways, stimulant-loaded glands and unbreakable skeletons. And it's been revealed that they actually used a gene therapy plague to modify the entire world population so that they would be immune to any designer plagues but their own and reduce aggression. It killed almost a billion people and turned the survivors into "deviants" — baseline humanity went practically extinct and only a couple people even noticed. | |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: In the backstory, genetic engineering became cheap enough for open-source "biohackers" to wipe out 90% of humanity with designer plagues and create genetically enhanced supersoldiers. The titular Genocide Project was started to counter them with augmented but genetically completely human "Genocide Men" and their own targeted plagues. | |

Heel–Face Turn: After a while spent fighting the Jiang Shi, Caera Shou finds herself much less inclined to narrowly define "humanity", and tries to build bridges with Senator Mkasa. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Peter Pup, one of the genocide men, eventually went insane from all of the horrors he was forced to inflict and killed himself by diving into a wet cement foundation with his virus case. Sadly, the case opened, and a nasty bubble of virus released into the air, killing a lot of people. Jacob intended to kill himself after Giri's village convinced him to spare them. It's suggested that they used their empathy to suggest it. | |

Super-Soldier: Genocide Men are augmented with nanotube ceramics in their bones to make them unbreakable, artificial glands that provide combat stimulants and negate many toxins, and telomere replacement therapy to mitigate the effects of aging. Many of the genetic deviants they were designed to combat were super soldiers as well: the Ugandan deviancy comprised four-year old children with claws, slitted pupils, and ridiculously fast reflexes. They killed everyone else in Jacob Doe's squad, who only survived because he was a G-Man. | |

Advice Backfire: The first time the audience meets Lola and Kevin, she offers him the advice that "its easier to ask forgiveness than permission" (referring to the recruitment of a new GP agent and how the rest of the GUS might react). He takes the first part (not asking permission) to heart way too well and immediately begins Jumping Off the Slippery Slope while smugly reminding anyone who objects that he's well within his legal rights as head of the Genocide Project. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: Subverted. Most normal diseases including HIV and all forms of cancer were quickly cured. Then they were replaced with impossible-to-treat bioengineered plagues and super-soldiers created by Mad Scientist characters. In fact, one big reason the world had such a rough time after that is that everyone had their own idea as to how the world could be improved, as to how the human race could be improved, and now that they had the technology, they started to act on them. And since some of those ideas included "[Ethnicity] would be better off dead"... | |

Biological Weapons Solve Everything: The comic takes place after several extremist groups used open-source biotechnology to kill billions.

It later turns out that the Genocide Project unleashed a gene therapy virus intended to both boost human immune systems to make them more resistant to plagues, and to make humanity less aggressive. It killed a billion people. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Jacob Doe, the central character. He has killed more people than can easily be imagined, both personally and through the use of Synthetic Plagues, many of whom didn't even deserve it. But his genuine belief in the necessity of his actions, and his equally genuine regret and sorrow over them, combine to help ensure that he falls short of being a real Villain Protagonist. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: While steeling himself up to go into the Undernet and hack some drones Roger references Spider Jerusalem and Cory Doctorow as bloggers who got through worse. So a bald-headed hero, a moody girl and a sarcastic young man meet a cabbage merchant... stop me if you’ve heard this one before. "Could be worse — they could be shouting 'Doggy'". | |

Synthetic Plague | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_c8146c52 | comment |
Synthetic Plague: A big part of the comic — the titular Super Soldiers carry briefcase-sized biology labs so they can use tailored plagues to wipe out the genetic deviants they are sent to exterminate. And most of the world's population was killed off by a series of designer plagues before the comic. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_ca04edd6 | comment |
Charles Atlas Superpower: Girii, maybe. According to the character sheet (as written by the Genocide Project) "She has also demonstrated impressive strength, but a lack of genetic markers indicate her musculature may be from a childhood filled with rigorous labor." However, after she rips open a quarantine wall bare-handed Jacob suggests that Fumiaki developed entirely new musculature genes that they can't detect. Fumiaki later states that he intended to give her enhanced hormone responses, the empathy was a side effect. Meaning that her "super strength" is actually pure adrenaline. | |

Evil Knockoff | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_ca3ef034 | comment |
Evil Knockoff: During the invasion on Britain, Lola ends up creating half-baked Genocide Men from volunteering soldiers, who get all of the quick boosts but none of the infrastructural changes. The result is extra-quick soldiers about as fast as the real deal, but not quite as strong, and are assured to die eventually due to their lungs bursting apart from the strain. Even in this crappy state they manage to kill about 500 soldiers each, however. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: If a Genocide Man is killed in the field, or if his genocide case is stolen, it releases a horrifically deadly "Retribution virus" to contain the situation by killing everyone around it in a city-sized radius. Part of the reason why AIs are so dangerous on going insane is that they follow the command to kill themselves rather faithfully, but tend to pick some very destructive methods to do so, including "Kamikaze every single plane in the area into my general location" and "kill every world leader I dislike in front of Jacob Doe so he'll kill me". | |

Paranormal Gambling Advantage | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_cb17923a | comment |
Paranormal Gambling Advantage: During a Poker match aboard a ship they're using for travel, Giri uses her Empathic powers to be as misleading as possible to the other players, leading them to make or withdraw bets nearly at her will. She even beats Jacob, who has plenty of experience and one of the best Poker faces in existence. | |

Sociopathic Soldier: Joey, though technically he was a mercenary. While Jacob, whom Lola considered the Genocide Project's moral center (not that that was saying much), was a UN Peacekeeper. | |

Plague Zombie | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_d1fdb05d | comment |
Plague Zombie: One of the bioengineered plagues that devastated the world in the 21st century filled China with zombies. Jacob later reveals that they're a failed Super-Soldier project, and while they have no memories of their past lives they are fairly intelligent, with their own language and agriculture — they even breed true. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Jacob mentions that if he's captured he will be mindwiped, and that it may have happened to him before, Peter was at least three times. And it's later discovered that at times the Genocide Men use a drug patch called the Lethe Protocol when discussing things that absolutely have to be secret, it prevents them from remembering what they did while on the drug. But Joey's augment tweaks rendered him immune. | |

Information Wants to Be Free | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_ecafe646 | comment |
Information Wants to Be Free: On the backstory, the Open Source Movement believed this and released a large amount of classified information to the public. The wide-spread horrors that followed and which were created with the technology that this information put at reach of the general public led to the creation of the United Nations' GENOCIDE Project, which believes in the inversion of this (and You Cannot Kill An Idea) and carries it to the most logical extreme. | |

Too Much Information: Jacob's response when Captain Thrasisikikokleopolous says that his family line has had three nipples for many generations. Not that it matters, since Genocide Men don't target people with natural mutations. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Genocide Man (Webcomic) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Everyone in the Genocide Project who isn't a murderous psychopath fits the criterion, since their mission statement is essentially to commit genocide to prevent it. The maddened Fumiaki A.I. is a less-defensible version, unleashing a terrifying flesh-melting plague out of some mad belief that murder breeds progress, essentially holding the world at gunpoint so it would finally allow itself to advance enough to cure it (with tools the AI itself had left behind and knew would never be considered otherwise). | |
