#<- probably my tag for what if dv8/wildstorm was good and made sense

[laurajameskinney]

the thing about dv8 is for most of them it makes very little sense from a worldbuilding perspective bc imo its pretty clear that the reason the genfactor or whatever worked on gen13 is because they were the children of team 7, who already had active gen factors. but for most of dv8, that isnt the case at all so theres the question of like. why did the genfactor work.

like at least for ellis the answer is: because theyve been kept in project genesis since early childhood, if not birth, so they flat out werent subjected to the same experiments as gen13

but then for heisler, the dv8 kids were just other kids who recruited to the project genesis bootcamp (except for hector, who is a clone??) (yes these are directly contradictory no this is never brought up), which again, doesnt make sense
