What makes a hybrid?
There's some edit warring as to whether he's a human, or a "Human/Father Box hybrid". That begs the question, what is a hybrid? We currently have two characters listed as hybrids: Superboy and Halo. Since we're talking about species, I think we should focus on the biological sense of the word: "Offspring resulting from cross-breeding different entities". Superboy is the only one that comes close, though technically, he's what's called a binary clone.

Halo is a human husk inhabited by a Mother Box's soul. While that would make her a hybrid in some of the popular definitions, biologically, it would make it what, a parasite? A spirit possession?

Victor is a human with Father Box enhancements. To call that a hybrid is to call my dad a human/pig hybrid because he's got a pig's heart valve. If a Father Box has a soul like a Mother Box, they'd be symbiotes or something.

So I propose just getting rid of the word hybrid altogether. In a popular sense, like describing Kobra's new form, it's okay. But not for a species. -- Tupka 217 22:04, January 26, 2019 (UTC)
