Mutagenic Goo: Difference between revisions

{{quote|"This was back in the day when science goo could just do anything! You could make up the most absurd reasoning, that has no scientific logic, but, it's ''science goo!'' So it flies." |'''[[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]''' on ''TMNT's'' ooze. }}

This is any liquid/slime/sludge form of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] that causes living creatures that touch it to somehow mutate or transform into... [[Body Horror|something else]]. Occasionally, it may need to be ingested (or injected) to take effect, but in most cases it can be easily absorbed through the victim's skin -- theirskin—their own [[Lego Genetics]] will take care of the rest.

The goo comes in many forms -- itforms—it may be [[I Love Nuclear Power|toxic nuclear waste]], some form of [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|alien bodily fluid]], mud from a [[Swamps Are Evil|cursed swamp]], or contaminated water carrying [[The Virus]].

Common results include [[Body Horror]], [[Painful Transformation|Painful Transformations]]s, and [[Lovecraftian Superpower|Lovecraftian Superpowers]]s. However, it's also a fairly common backstory for non-[[Squick|Squicky]]y [[How to Give A Character Super Powers|superheroes.]]

* The slime produced by the Wirrn in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' serial "The Ark in Space", which turns humans into Wirrn.

* ''[[Magic: theThe Gathering]]'' has the Phyrexian oil that kickstarted the Phyrexian invasion of Mirrodin.

* ''[[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]'' also provides an example in the same review that the page quote comes from when he combines what he calls science goo and a jar of Philadelphia cream cheese; and it turns into a 12" talking Dennis Miller doll.
