Hey, Dr. Arkham! I have a question for you. Well, actually two. Which patient you've treated did you find the most interesting? And the most complicated?
ββββββββββ
I think they are all far too interesting. To pick which one I find most bizarre would be doing a disservice. Not to them but to myself.
Though, I find Kirk Langstrom complicated. One could argue that heβs sane. And, for the most part, he is. Iβll admit that. Of course it remains that when heβs the βMan-Batβ it would be a ridiculous notion to call him anything close to sane. Not only that, he was the one who injected a scarcely tested serum into his veins, all by his own volition.
Thatβs already a tad complicated. Unfortunately thereβs more to it than that. Since Iβm ready to assume you donβt know a thing about bats despite your nickname, here are the facts.
Bats can and do carry diseases without being sick themselves. How, you might wonder? They donβt have an immune response, instead coexisting with the diseases that perpetuate their bodies. Itβs a clever work of nature, yes, but leaves every other creature they come in contact with to suffer from the sicknesses the bats brought. Creatures such as my employees.
I consider Kirk Langstrom a biohazard when he is Man-Bat. As such, I have to supply proper PPE and vaccines to the doctors working with him. It still doesnβt stop something blood borne being contracted from the occasional attempted mauling.
When the man is restored to his proper form after one of his longer stints, we sometimes have to hospitalize him due to all the illnesses heβs contracted and how his mutated body let them fester. I do pity him. He didnβt mean to become this much of a hassle.
At least we can count on that, for a majority of the time, Mr. Langstrom knows to keep his claws to himself.
I hope you got whatever enlightenment you were looking to me for, βBatgirlβ. Have a decent evening.
