''DNA'' is a Web Comic found here: http://dnathewebcomic.com

It's a story about some people who shouldn't exist, but do, and how they deal with that.

Updates every other Friday
----
!!''DNA'' contains examples of:
* ActualPacifist: Orion refuses to use his powers.
* AmbiguousSpecies: The author has not yet revealed what animal or animals Species X is based on, although she has confirmed several things that they are not.
* ArtEvolution / ReCut: The comic has been completely re-drawn from scratch in order to improve its pacing and composition. The originals can however still be viewed at ''[[http://old-dna.smackjeeves.com/ DNA But Not Really]]''.
* {{Asexuality}}: Jay wears a black ring on his right middle finger, which is a symbol of asexuality.
* BadassAdorable: Lukas may be a cute and shy kid who likes drawing and cutely pronounces the word draw as "drawl", but he also does not hesitate to use his powers in retaliation to bullying, and manages to be simultaneously terrifying and adorable.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: All the members of Species X.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Sirius is very protective of Orion and other kids. In a heartwarming moment in Segment: Tooth, he reassures Orion that he doesn't care about his injuries. In Segment: Mud, he goes berserk when he sees that Rigel made Lukas cry.
* BullyBrutality: Rigel goes so far as trying to drown Orion when Orion stands up to his bullying. Even Rigel's fellow bully Leon is [[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified by this]].
* BullyingADragon: Rigel bullies the other kids despite not having super powers like some of the others do. This backfires on him when he does this to Lukas.
* CheshireCatGrin: Xs tend to look this way whenever they grin, what with their pointed teeth and wide mouths.
* CooldownHug: Happens on [[http://dnathewebcomic.com/comic/segment-tooth/page-14/ this page]].
* CoveredInMud: Happens to Orion when Rigel tries to drown him.
* CuteLittleFangs: Species X has these.
* ExpressiveEars: All members of species X have very large ears that convey how they are feeling.
* FangThpeak: Orion lisps due to his large protruding teeth.
* FatBastard: Rigel is the cruelest character in the comic so far and is overweight, unlike the rest of the X's who are very thin.
* GagNose: Leon's nose is several times larger that what the rest of the X's have.
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: They managed to create creatures with superpowers.
* HandBlast: Lukas knocks Rigel into the mud with one.
* ItsAllMyFault: Orion blames himself for what happened in Segment: Tooth, despite being a victim.
* ManBitesMan: Sirius bites Jay in the leg in response to Jay kicking Orion, and ends up losing a tooth when Jay kicks him off.
* NeverMyFault: Rigel tries to blame Ben for his misbehavior in Segment: Mud, which only results in Ben increasing his punishment.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Sirius make Lukas uncomfortable by getting much too close to him when they first meet in Segment: Mud.
* KickTheDog: Jay literally did this to Orion. Rigel also makes Lukas cry immediately after meeting him by wrecking his drawing.
* KidsAreCruel: Rigel. In Segment: Tooth, he torments Orion for his lisp, and tries to drown him when Orion calls him a "fat jerk" in retaliation. In Segment: Mud, he ruins Lukas' wall drawing.
* PowerIncontinence: Orion's powers activate accidentally when he is upset in Segment: Tooth.
* PetTheDog: Leon assists Rigel with his bullying of Orion by holding down Sirius, but when he sees Rigel attempting to drown Orion he thinks Rigel has gone too far but is too scared to stop him.
* PettingZooPeople: Species X are a group of nocturnal humanoids covered in grey fur with large ears, nubby noses of various sizes, very sharp teeth and, usually, tails. Their eyes and skin also appear to come in a rainbow of colors.
* PowerGlows: The Xs' hands and [[GlowingEyes eyes]] glow when using their powers.
* PuppyDogEyes: Species X has these. Combined with their large ears they are close to being [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Critters]].
* SpeechImpediment: Orion gets picked on for this. In Segment: Tooth, Sirius temporarily has one of these as well due to his mouth being injured.
* StellarName / ThemeNaming: Several of the Xs are named after stars. (A few, like Leon, aren't. Whether this has any significance remains to be seen.)
* TeethFlying: Sirius gets a tooth knocked out in Segment: Tooth during a (brief) fight with Jay.
* TheQuietOne: Orion does not speak at all during Segment: Mud.
-->'''Sirius''': This is Orion. Rigel scares him real bad, so he's gonna be quiet for a while until he feels better. He's sorry.
* TheSouthpaw: Lukas is left-handed.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The Xs are considered experiments rather than people.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Xs who have powers lose them when their hands are wet.

The character profile pages say no such thing. Also corrected awkward wording.


* WeaksauceWeakness: Members of Species X who have powers lose them when their hands are wet. The character profile page recommends using squirt guns against them.
** It has not yet been explained why, but some of the Xs also have a warning on the character page to keep them away from reflective or sharp objects.

There's really no reason to bring up anything to do with the old versions of Tooth or Mud here (other than to point out the art evolution/re-cut trope) as the old versions are not part of the story at all, and are therefore irrelevant.


* CheshireCatGrin: Sirius in the cover page for Segment: Tooth is making a very large smile despite bleeding from the mouth and nose and being badly bruised and missing a tooth.
** The smile was toned down but not completely removed in the remake because it made him look too crazy, which did not fit his character.
