Hmmm...yes, I think that the monsters could have something that would make them live longer...or maybe, like was said, we're not supposed to think about it too much. Of course, that's what we do on this board right? Over analyze!
I wonder if Susan will get an entire wardrobe made...and how will she wash her clothes?

Well, albinos get sun-burnt real easy. If she were an albino, she would need a lot of protection anywhere she went, beach or not. But, it's not like she went pasty white skinned after her transformation. Only her eyes and hair, so maybe she wouldn't need any at all.

I actually don't think her eyes changed. I think they were still the same shade of blue. But maybe that's just me.
And yeah, she still had the California tan. So I don't think her skin was affected.

There's a thread here that was origionally devoted solely to the question of whether or not her eyes changed colors, and the consensus was that they did, at times, appear to be lighter and darker shades of blue. If she was truly albino, her eyes would have turned pink. I just don't think the albino theory holds a lot of water, since it's only the pigment of her hair and her eyes and possibly her freckles (but that may have just been from a loss of contrast). And anyway, Ginormica is especially resistant to energy attacks... I wonder if that could include the sun's radiation?

I suppose maybe they originally looked like a lighter shade of blue because the facility she was locked up in had really bright lights? Which would have been a contrast to regular indoors and outdoors she was around before she was hit by the meteor.

He's been in the Area a good fourty years, and he was cryogenically frozen (in a completely scientifically impossible manner ^_^) INCORRECTOMUNDO MY FRIEND! In point of fact, while if you froze a human in a chunk of ice and tried to thaw him out, you'd get some lifeless freezer-burned meat with destroyed cells, there are some other fauna in this world that can survive the process of being frozen alive and come out intact. Among the species that can undergo natural cryogenics are a large number of fish and amphibians, which seems to fit the category of Mr. Link quite well. |

ZOMG! I knew it! *runs off to rub it in a friend's face... I mean, politely inform a friend*

*shrugs* Duly noted.
Of course, this really depends on the exact biological makeup of Link. Since it's fiction, I'm not going push this any further.

And anyway, Ginormica is especially resistant to energy attacks... I wonder if that could include the sun's radiation? Yeah, I know she isn't really albino. It was just a wild stretch. I had no idea that albino eyes were pink though. Learn something new everyday, I guess. I never really considered her immunity to energy to include the sun. That's a good point. The freckle thing? They were just toned down from character concepts. They were barely even there in the final version (both as Susan and Ginormica). But her eyes definitely change color. In fact, the whole transformation started with her eyes glowing if you remember. There's a lot of CGI stills in the art book. As Susan, she has greenish hazel eyes. As Ginormica, she definitely has blue. Depending on the amount of light shining on her, they do look different shades. Oh yeah, Link and freezing is entirely possible. Fish are cold blooded. Their activity levels are dependent on the temperature of their blood. Cold temps mean slower action, including respiration and blood circulation. Get cold enough, and activity halts (not ceases, it can be resumed if warmed slowly). Of course, the change in temp has to be gradual, or else you get system shock. You can't put a fish directly in ice cold water and expect it to adapt. You can, however, take a portion of the water to which they are accustomed (like from their tank), and put it in a bag with the fish in it. Then, you can put the bag&fish into cold water. Over time, the temperature of the water will change, and so will the fish's motion. |

Well, Susan's the easiest one.
I'm assuming the quantonium energy irradating her body is providing continous regeneration of her organic tissues.
In essence, it's countering her natural aging process to the extent of negating it completely.
Dr Cockroch, well, I'm assuming the genetic fusion has made his DNA highly adaptable and regenerative.
If he's damaged, he heals.
I'm assuming this is negating the "damage" from aging.
Bob, well, I'm assuming his body mass self regenerates over time.
Unless he's destroyed completely, down to the last molecule, he'll always regenerate from the smallest part.
I'm assuming each of his cells has a "genetic memory", so he won't lose any of his knowledge or memory if his mass is significantly reduced.
But it appears the intelligence of Bob is directly related to mass.
I.E: the bigger he is, the smarter he is.
So he'd have to regenerate to his original size to regain his intellectual capacity, such as it is.
I assume his regeneration would mean he doesn't age.
Missing Link, well, that was a bit of a stretch, but I came up with something.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who'd been frozen would suffer from "freezer burn" and die shortly after being revived due to cold damage to their tissues.
Unless they were capable of repairing their tissues.
I'm assuming the Link comes from an extremely adaptable species that had a surplus of "repair cells" inside their body that would fix any damage that occured on that level.
This would extend to repairing the damage that results from the natural aging process.
As for General Monger, I'm assuming he's just one tough old guy.
There is a real world predecent that I know of.
There was this 90 year old farm hand who had the health of a man half his age. Actually, he was a lot more fit, considering all the heavy lifting and hard work he did throughout his life.
He was a little slower, but no less stronger.
It was interesting to see this old guy pick up a hay bale and toss it into the back of a truck.
