      If I was younger I’d call him an antisocial psycopath, but tbh we could probably use less people and more dinosaurs…

      Only issue is that it has to remain indiscriminate, and maybe move him around the globe a bit.

        more dinosaurs

        We’ve got more than twenty-six billion (and growing) just in chickens alone; I’d say that’s more than enough when it comes to dinosaurs.

    Question. Does the dinosaur transformation still cure the cancer?

      If I had cancer, I would see that as an absolute win.

      Shit, even as a healthy (if overweight) man approaching middle age, I’d be tempted to volunteer for dino-gene therapy. “You mean I could continue life as I am and watch my health slowly fall apart or I could be a dinosaur? Can I still talk to my family? You know what, nevermind. Where do I sign up?”

        Dinosaur fossils with signs of cancer have been found.

        And birds can get cancer too, of course.

      Since we’re not all dinosaurs right now, it’s safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.

          Sauron (Marvel comics).

          Stegron is, somehow, a whole other (yet remarkably similar) character, with practically the same goals, so it’s easy to confuse them.

          (Frankly, sounds like Len Wein and Gil Kane might have forgotten Sauron existed and independently reinvented him, from how similar they are; there must’ve been something about turning people into dinosaurs in the early Marvel zeitgeist, I suppose, since they’re both quite ancient characters, Sauron having been created in 1969 and Stegron in 1974…)

    He could charge for that. I reckon people would queue around the block to be turned into sentient dinosaurs. He could be one rich dino dude with huge fanbase of folks who’ve got his product and idolize him. That’s bound to work out well for everyone…

        Absolutely. That’s the thing that always gets me about so many ‘villains’, they could inevitability gain their desired ends much more easily by being ‘good’ but persist in being evil.

      According to the American Museum of Natural History of New York, depending on the dinosaur species, they didn’t have the same pteryx to develop a cancer.

    Pretty sure that’s from the spiderman x-men crossover where spiderman becomes a teacher at Xavier’s. It’s a pretty short run with just a few issues and a really good read imo.

      I don’t know how serious they are, but there are calls to categorise them as Dino’s.

          I heard it on a recent podcast, I Know Dino, which is really good, btw. I’m not sure if it was the newest (as of 08/05/2024) or one from a few weeks back. It was a short discussion. Like I said, I don’t know how serious is the proposal.
