Jessica Drew's alien detector
Robert Carnegie
coming up in the story. In the new SPIDER-WOMAN series, Jessica Drew
is given a not-fully-guaranteed "Not Normal Person" detector by Agent
Abigail Brand of S.W.O.R.D. Agent Brand is half alien but the
detector didn't indicate that. Why would that be?
(Life Model Decoy, duh. I suppose. Or an actress with a green hair
dye job.)
Also, as described, is the device liable to detect terrestrial people
with unusual biology, such as many superheroes including Spider-Woman
herself? They're not alien but they're not normal.

Agent Brand's front half is human and her rear half is alien so the device
would work if Jessica points it at her ass as she walks away.

You did say it wasn't fully guaranteed.

It lends piquancy to Dr Henry McCoy's already understandable interest
in playing "justifiable research" with her most weekends. And between
panels in ASTONISHING XXXENOPHILE #32, sorry I mean X-MEN.
Apparently, and I am no longer kidding, women kind of go for guys who
are kind of like her father (which is kind of a weird mental image),
and Abby's father happens to be a big blue furry alien, as she
mentioned without labouring the point. You wonder, and now I am
kidding again, how many previous boyfriends walked out when they got
tired of wearing the costume. Sports mascots, possibly.

Actually, isn't her father a big GREEN furry alien...it's comepletely
different.

Unless green and blue look alike to her, or her half-alien eyes see
something else similar about them.

She inherited her father's color blindness, a trait of his race.

Wikipedia doesn't make it clear which parts of "blue, furry monster"
apply to Mr. Brand as well as to Dr. McCoy, so I'd have to re-read the
scene, but I assumed all three, and that Abigail's fur colour doesn't
have to be the same as her father's. Then again, he may have used dye.

I think Spider Woman and other mutates, as well as mutants would probably
register as human. I'm curious about humans who had their DNA altered in
order to be like an alien race. Ms. Marvel should register as Kree and
Power Pack should register as Kymellian. There was an issue of Power Pack
where the Snarks were looking for the Pack, but they could not find them on
Earth because of all the super powered people; they they filtered everyone
out by only searching for the Kymellian genetic code. Ms. Marvel and the
kids might actually be classified as hybrids, though.
Maybe the detector doesn't show hybrids since a half human is still 'human
enough.' Adam-X appeared on Gyrinch's screen as an alien, but he probably
would not have been someone Jessica would have gone after anyway.
Actually Adam-X and Hepzibah really need to go back to the Shi'Ar galaxy.
They were wasted in the X-Books and Adam-X, being related to D'Ken and maybe
Vulcan, should have been one of the major players in that storyline.

I like having Hepzibah with the X-Men (although I still don't like
that they hooked her up with Warpath) but I agree they haven't done
much with her lately (though she got more play during Brubaker's run
than she's ever gotten anywhere before)...as for Adam X, I don't think
he's really worth using anywhere...he's a really lame throw-away
character that is best forgotten...D'Ken may be his father but he's
definitely not related to Vulcan because Katherine Summers was already
pregnant with Vulcan when they were taken by the Shi'ar and she was
killed shortly after his birth...Adam X may have been intended as the
third Summers brother but it never happened...Claremont even made
Gambit the 3rd brother in X-Men: The End (obviously not in continuity)
and, at one point, it was even going to turn out to be Apocalypse.
