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. --[[User:Tupka217|<span style="color:#008000">'''Tupka'''</span>]][[Message wall:Tupka217|<sup><span style="color:#FF8C00">''217''</span></sup>]] 22:04, January 26, 2019 (UTC) |

Revision as of 22:16, 26 January 2019
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. --Tupka217 22:04, January 26, 2019 (UTC)
- I'd argue the closest parallel to Cyborg we have is Blue Beetle. Just like the Fatherbox implant, the scarab is alien tech with a sentient artifical intelligence which has demonstrated an ability to control its organic host and cannot be removed safely. Jaime is a human, the scarab is a scarab, they just happen to be two characters immovably attached to each other.
