'''''Gen 13'''''. So many genres and incarnations, so little time. This is a [[Wildstorm]] universe based comic series that used to be owned by [[Image]] until [[DC Comics]] decided to engorge themselves on the Wildstorm label, and while still being printed today, is damn hard to locate in some comic shops.
The book was created by Brandon Choi, [[Jim Lee]] and artist J. Scott Campbell, and any familiarity with those three should already give an idea of what the book was going to entail. The characters were introduced in ''"Deathmate Black''" (September, 1993). In 1994, they got a 5-issue mini-series. It sold well enough for the introduction of an ongoing series in 1995. It focused on the exploits of five teens who were invited to participate in a government research project, but who all later discovered it was nothing more than a prison used to locate children with "Gen-Active" genes that the government would later attempt to experiment on and use as weapons, of course.

* [[Breast Expansion]]: In the animated adaptation, when Caitlin first transforms.
