Lydia the Spider Alien
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.

I choose to believe that, much like the health food sold here by the ton, the women are "all natural" until proven otherwise.Dr. Solar wrote:Dude, you are (luckily) surrounded by the evidence.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:No way.

Chicks do this a lot, especially in Southern California.

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.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:I choose to believe that, much like the health food sold here by the ton, the women are "all natural" until proven otherwise.Dr. Solar wrote:Dude, you are (luckily) surrounded by the evidence.ZephyrWasHOT!! wrote:No way.

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?

I am sure the aliens had some sort of advanced technology that they had develpoed to use on humans.... look at Rexo.

Well, I don't entirely agree, because I think it is a lot more complicated than that, but that discussion may require another thread.Tim Petty wrote:This attitude is the reason why most of our wives, girlfriends and daughters self-esteem is so low.Dr. Solar wrote:Results are more important to me than process in this case.

Sure, Lydia herself mentions it.Elveen wrote:ManofTheAtom wrote: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.

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.

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.ManofTheAtom wrote: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.dellamorte wrote:I think in Shadowman 0 she still has the Spider Alien body under the dress.

Just checked. Wow, I'd forgotten that she was there. Awesome scene.dellamorte wrote:Yeah, I looked at Shadowman 0 and she has breasts so I don't know what to tell you.

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

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.ManofTheAtom wrote:

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