* In Issue 5, Alison stops a date-rape in progress at a party. Not a single person steps up to back her up, and all treat her like she's overreacting despite seeing the same things she saw. Everyone keeps insisting he's a 'nice' and 'chill' guy regardless.

** The fact that individuals of that power level even exist. The "normal" biodynamic characters have all the emotional issues and screw-ups you'd expect from a bunch of teenagers. Now think of teenagers with that level of power and the fact that they're not automatically going to grow up in a warm, loving family and believe in Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

* Chapter 8 begins with a meeting of shady people at various points of discussion, one of them being Mr. Duval, the man who took over Patrick's company when he went underground. As soon as the meeting is over, it appears there is no more need for Mr. Duval anymore once they have the information they wanted. But how they choose to get rid of him turns out to not only be shocking, but something straight out of an alien horror flick.

The behavior of her creations is so completely alien from that of humans that one gets the sense that they're operating on [[BlueAndOrangeMorality a completely different value system]]. At best they come across as puzzling. At worst they're unpredictably violent and/or suicidal. And Paladin herself doesn't seem all there some of the time, veering into SanitySlippage and seeming like she's just one lab accident away from genuine supervillainy.

It goes beyond that. All the doctors involved, unless they are complete sociopaths, are going to have SEVERE mental problems pretty quickly, after torturing a perfectly healthy person worse than anyone in the world's been tortured, no matter what the benefits.
Feral herself is going to be a vegetable pretty soon from pain overload. Which means that sometime in the future when medical technology has advanced to the point where her contribution is not needed, she's going to be nothing but a brain-dead zombie.
