Lydia the Spider Alien

Post by ManofTheAtom »

In X-O Manowar #2 Lydia had the body of a Spider Alien and the head and hands of a woman, but then in Shadowman #1 she looked completely human.

She tried to seduce a dude, failed, and felt like she wasn't pretty enough, so went back and got more cosmetic surgery.

Chicks do this a lot, especially in Southern California.

I choose to believe that, much like the health food sold here by the ton, the women are "all natural" until proven otherwise. ;)

I have nothing against women putting in work to make themselves prettier. I do not discriminate much whether a woman uses whole grains and pilates or silicone. Results are more important to me than process in this case.

I thought that some where it was implied that certain spider aliens were "Changed" on purpose. I always assumed some sort of alien operation. Maybe cross-bred?

This attitude is the reason why most of our wives, girlfriends and daughters self-esteem is so low.

Well, I don't entirely agree, because I think it is a lot more complicated than that, but that discussion may require another thread.

Sure, Lydia herself mentions it.

But check out what she says exactly

"... you cannot even imagine that we can bio-genetically alter our bodies.

Those of us who conduct business here must look human. We can become almost indistinguishable from your kind... more human by far than i choose to be...

You see, I find it uncomfortable... besides... I wanted to keep my bite."

Lydia was comforble with her Spider Alien body, human head, human hands, and human legs... but then she became even more human.

Maybe it was all a statement on women never being happy with appearances? Then again, maybe it wasn't that deep.

I think in Shadowman 0 she still has the Spider Alien body under the dress.

In Shadowman #1 she takes her clothes off and even while covered by shadows you can tell that she had breasts, which she didn't in X-O Manowar.

Yeah, I looked at Shadowman 0 and she has breasts so I don't know what to tell you. Did you look at the Solar issue where she dies? I think it's #16 or so.

Just checked. Wow, I'd forgotten that she was there. Awesome scene.

She has a straight jacket, so you can't tell if she has breasts or not (only time we see her chest she's nothing but skin and bones :P )

Though that she has bones at all is indicative of how far along her transformation into a human was. Spiders doesn't have bones.

There are different kinds of spider aliens. The regular ones(like Sven), the humanoid ones, the more spidery ones, the giant one that Aric duked it out with, and probably more.

I don't think that calling them 'Spider Aliens' means that they have to have every quality of an arachnid.

Just my $0.02
