They Would Cut You Up/Playing With: Difference between revisions

** Alice is a career labrat, her money comes from taking bribes from drug companies/the government so they can do human testing on her. Her most recent round of tests was a [[Super Serum]] or enhancment surgery.

* '''Subverted''': It turns out the government agents are perfectly rational individuals, who only want to do non-intrusive experiments, with Alice's permission, and will compensate her for her time and trouble.

* '''Parodied''': Alice stays "captured" only long enough to demonstrate that her powers make her immune to the testing methods.

** The tests themselves are kind of silly, like shooting Alice with different colored paintballs to see if [[Weaksauce Weakness|one shade is more dangerous than others]], or an automatic tickling device.

* '''Defied''': Upon gaining her super powers, one of the first things Alice does is go straight up to the president and inform him, in no uncertain terms, that if any government agents try to dissect her, she will kill them... and him.

** The Agents sent to research Alice specifically treat her with kid gloves because she can't be replaced. At worst, they might keep her locked up, but anything invasive is out of the question, as it risks damaging the test subject.

* '''Discussed''': "I don't think we should go public with what we can do. There are unscrupulous people who'd do anything to learn how our secret powers work."

* '''Conversed''': "I think Alice is being unduly paranoid on ''Generic SF Adventure Show''; her power to change hair color at will probably won't get the government after her for vivisection purposes."
