Splicers Versus Manticore’s Genetic Experiments on “Dark Angel” TV Show. Starring Jessica Alba (43 episodes 200-2002. See imdb.com/title/tt0204993/ or go to IMBD . Com and search for Dark Angel aka “James Cameron’s ‘Dark Angel’”)
I currently watch reruns of “Dark Angel” on SciFi ch. 122 (on DISH) or SiTV ch. 159. They featured a dystopian future after a high-altitude nuclear pulse destroyed all electronic infrastructure in the US, with the escaped survivors of a secret company called Manticore (you should check your mythology reference on that one, very interesting)trying to survive in and around Seattle Washington USA.
They featured very cool make-up and special effects of the different types of genetically mixed people. The hero, Max (Jessica Alba) had a mixture of some cat DNA among other things that gave her greater strength, speed, and reaction time than “regular” humans. Other’s had more animal than human mixes and were similar to what some of the more exotic Splicers might look like.
Some of these altered humans looked very reptilian and were designed to survive in hot desert environments. Others had gills between their ribs and were designed to survive as a water species. Max’s friend Joshua was mostly human and dog DNA and the makeup looked very canine. Others appeared in various episodes.
If you could be spliced with DNA, what would you want to do? Kyla’s ability to fly would be very cool. Extended endurance and speed would come in handy. What mix would that be? Extrapolate from Vision Quest Book 1 and build yourself the “perfect” Splicer to you. I’ll start thinking about it and report back soon!
