However after she rips open a quarantine wall bare-handed Jacob [[http://www.genocideman.com/?p=272 suggests]] that Fumiaki developed entirely new musculature genes that they can't detect.

* KillEmAll: The government's number one law enforcement tool is now complete annihilation. In a future where you can make anything you please, even a targeted virus that can kill an entire gene line in a matter of days, the only way to prevent abuses of science is to kill anyone with an "idea" that is deemed too dangerous.

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Ironically, this viewpoint is used by both the Genocide Project, and those that they fight against. In a world where the technology exists to make any idea a reality (and how many people have thought that the world would be perfect if this or that group of people were not in it?), a lot of people have tried to make the world a better place by wiping out anyone that they believed hindered a perfect society. This kind of viewpoint has killed billions in this story. Meanwhile, for the Genocide Men, the justify the many acts they do as being for the greater good. While it may be true that they have more research, more funding, and wider worldview than most other organizations, the truth is, they have killed just as many, or more, than the ones they have fought against.

[[http://www.genocideman.com/?p=40 Genocide Man]] is the story of Jacob Doe, one of the titular Genocide Men, a man tasked with hunting out and destroying dangerous "ideas" in the aftermath of the Open Source Movement, when military secrets became public knowledge, a time period where every possible piece of scientific knowledge was available to everyone, which, among other things, resulted in a ZombieApocalypse in China, the extinction of the Jewish people, and the deaths of two thirds of the world's total population. Ideas can be very dangerous in a future where the technology exists to make even the most terrible ideas a reality. Jacob Doe is 98 years old, and has seen, and done, many terrible things... and his life is about to become much more complicated.

Brought to us by the author who brought us IndefensiblePositions.
------
* ArcWords: First delivered by an insane AI, ''They say that there's a secret gene, that Adam had, and it made him clean.''
* AIIsACrapshoot: A terrifying subversion, as every AI is ''guaranteed'' to go insane after it has been active long enough.
* AnimalThemeNaming: The five Genocide Men: Jacob Doe, Lola Lamb, Kevin Kidd, Peter Pup, and Joey. Presumably Kevin was going for irony.
* BioAugmentation: Genocide Men have artificial glands that produce stimulants and antitoxins during combat.
* BioPunk
* {{Cyberspace}}: The [[http://www.genocideman.com/?p=145 "Undernet"]]
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Girii's skin tone is hard to discern due to the greyscale, but she is an Inuit with blonde hair (a sign of genetic engineering).
* DeathSeeker: Jacob Doe.
* DesignerBabies: Genetic deviancies, the Ugandans were born to mothers who were infected with a virus by "witch doctors".
* DrivenToSuicide: Peter Pup, one of the genocide men, eventually went insane from all of the horrors he was forced to inflict, and killed himself by diving into a wet cement foundation with his virus case. Sadly, the case opened, and a nasty bubble of virus released into the air, killing a lot of people.
* TheEmpath: Giri and about half her village have this ability.
* KillEmAll: The government's number one law enforcement tool is now complete annihilation. In a future where you can make anything you please, even a targeted virus that can kill an entire gene line in a matter of days, the only way to prevent abuses of science is to kill anyone with an "idea" that is deemed too dangerous.
* IntrepidReporter: Roger Evers is a rather determined ''blogger''.
* LongevityTreatment: Jacob is ninety-eight but thanks to his G-man mods and telomerase treatments he is still one of the deadliest men in the world.
* MagneticWeapon: Jacob's sidearm is a handheld railgun loaded with sarin-tipped darts.
* MonochromaticEyes: Genocide Men are stylized as having dead white eyes.
* OhCrap: Tatsu Fumiaki, the scientist who raised Dahnai, begins calculating the maximum lifespan of Dahnai, who is a lifeform that has no mitochondria in her cells. When he realized that [[spoiler: Dahnai is technically immortal because of her unique biology,]] he had a colossal OhCrap because he had just been told that the world would only tolerate her existence because [[spoiler: her expected life span was only going to be five more years.]]
* RapidAging: Dahnai reached adulthood in just two years, causing the Genocide Project to guess that she'd die of old age in another five so they let her live. But it seems that the AI who created her designed her to become [[spoiler: TheAgeless]]
* ShoutOut: While steeling himself up to go into the Undernet and hack some drones [[http://www.genocideman.com/?p=143 Roger]] references [[ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}} Spider Jerusalem]] and CoryDoctorow as bloggers who got theough worse.
* SuperSpeed: Genocide Man artificial adrenal glands can pump something like rocket fuel which allow temporary bursts of speed. The Ugandan deviancies were capable of the same due to their enhanced nervous systems.
* SuperSoldier: Genocide Men are augmented with nanotube-infused bones and synthetic glands that produce combat stimulants and antidotes to most toxins. Some deviancies like the Ugandans are designed for this purpose as well.
* SyntheticPlague: Primary weapon of the Genocide Men and many of the groups they were established to stop.
* UpliftedAnimal: Subverted by Dahnai, she looks canine but is actually a completely synthetic organism. Played straight by the "Slo-cows", crosses between giant ground sloths and cattle that Fumiaki chimera'd with human brain tissue.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Ironically, NOT the viewpoint of the Genocide Men, but those that they fight against. In a world where the technology exists to make any idea a reality (and how many people have thought that the world would be perfect if this or that group of people were not in it?), a lot of people have tried to make the world a better place by wiping out anyone that they believed hindered a perfect society. This kind of viewpoint has killed billions in this story.
* WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide: Very much averted.
