"Error. Scanned DNA too similar to that of Homo Sapiens. DNA not collected."

"See, I told you that it wouldn't work." Deadpool pointed out.

"It makes sense." Nightwing noted, "I mean… Saiyans can have fertile kids with humans. Biologically speaking, they're the same species."

"Damn. I was hoping to fight against another Saiyan. It's barely any fun without Kakarot."

"I'm telling him that you said that." Deadpool added.

"Do it, and I'll vaporize you." Vegeta snarled as he casually entered his Super Saiyan form.

"Well, that stinks. I'll take a guess that this also applies to uh… Superman, was it?"

"Yeah, he's got kids that can also have kids. So, they're also part of the same species… Technically."

"Wow. Biology is complicated." Ben realized.

"Yeah, well this is also the author's way of reasoning why you can't turn into Superman or Goku." Deadpool pointed out.

"Uh… 'author'?"

"Just ignore him. It's what we do." Nightwing shrugged off.

"Wait… Could he scan Thanos or Darkseid?"

"That's… That's a good question." Nightwing realized, "Thanos is a hard maybe, but since Darkseid is just an avatar of a being in another dimension, I think he'd have to travel there to get that form."

"What about Kirby?"

There was a moment of silence before everyone jumped Ben.

"AHH!"

"Put a goddamn lock on that thing! We don't need another Kirby!"

"Kirby's just a baby!" Deadpool shouted, "Just imagine how many brown pants we'd need if we had an adult version of him around!"

"SOMEONE GET BATMAN!"


"Yeah, I don't know how to make a lock for this."

"Is anyone here at all disturbed by the fact that Batman said that so casually?" Nightwing asked.

"Me."

"Me."

"Me."

"Well, more accurately, I can't make a lock specifically for Kirby." Batman clarified, "I can make one that shuts down the scanning feature completely, but I can't stop it from scanning one specific being."

"Well that bites." Deadpool grumbled, "Hang on, I'll be back in a while. You guys keep arguing about this."

"So we're either missing out on some potential extra power, or we avoid some kind of universe ending threat… Yeah, let's put the lock on it."

"I think you guys are overreacting."

"There's a comment that I could make but I won't."

"Considering what they said…"

"Don't." Bruce glared, "Flat-out: Just don't."

"What are you talking about?"

"Eh, it's a long story involving movies."

"I feel like this is referencing something…"

"It is. It one hundred percent is." Wonder Woman replied from the couch, "Back on topic, how do you know how to make a scan lock for that device Bruce?"

"I've studied Blue Beetle's Scarab, and I've also seen the Lantern Ring in action. I think I can make a device that pull it off."

"Typical 'Because I'm Batman' explanation." Vegeta deadpanned, "It's more likely that you'll cash in a favor to Strange or Fate for a device to do that."

"No I wouldn't." Batman replied all to fast.

"You'll cash in a favor to Doom then."

"Shut up."

"Bats… He could literally vaporize you in an instant. The fact that you think that you're in any position to threaten Vegeta is astonishing in of itself." Nightwing pointed out.

"And yet, he's supposed to be the most relatable." Vegeta grumbled.

"I thought we were talking about me and my Omnitrix?" Ben asked.

"Right. We'll figure something out for that whole deal so that we don't have to worry about an adult version of Kirby being brainwashed and killing us all."

"You say that as if I could be brainwashed."

"Weren't you hypnotized as a kid?" Nightwing asked.

"We don't talk about that."

"Uh huh."

There was a long pause before Ben spoke up again.

"So uh… Do… All of them act like-"

"No. Typically everyone doesn't freak out like that."

"Man… Movies are weird." Nightwing muttered.

"Well, it's Disney's fault for just remaking everything because they took all the public domain stuff and making their own the 'definitive' version because of their popularity."

"Thank God that Spider-Man's movie dethroned them."

"Never thought I'd say something like this, but I'm proud of Sony."

"They're the ones who did The Emoji Movie."

"I am no longer proud of Sony."

"Well… Maybe they'll improve."


Wade: Interesting subversion. And here I thought you'd go back to making fun of people who can't handle an 'L.'

Dude: Believe me Wade, I was tempted. As of this writing, there was a guy on tumblr who advocated for the attacking of Liam over the results. The asshole explicitly said "attack." Not "File a complaint" or "Debate him on his decision." He said "attack."

Pinkie: Isn't that really immature and uncalled for?

Dude: It also doesn't help that when I called him out on it, that he doubled down and used an Anti Semitic joke to open his argument. But hey, if he thinks that attacking people over opinions is completely fine, then he should also be fine with receiving it. I'm not advocating for his harassment, but the moment I see a death threat thrown Liam's way, I'm not going to hesitate to use his own rhetoric as a bad guy that the Joker shoots a Bang Flag through.

Alexis: Chirp chirp?

Dude: Please. If he actively wants Liam to be attacked, then he should have no problem being portrayed as the villain in this story. One that even Joker would murder without a second thought.

Joker: DEATH TO NAZIS!

Dude: For once, we agree on something. Now get the hell out of my writing room.
