Could Inque hold her own series?
>>151016571No
>>151016571Yes
>>151016571Maybe
answer unclear, try again later
>>151016571Yes and by "series" i'm sure you meant something among the lines of "12 issues of non-stop kinky babymaking sex", right?
>>151016571I wouldn't trust any modern writers to do it, but yeah, sureCorporate espionage in Neo Gotham with a living liquid protagonist sounds like a good timeShe should also have sex with Terry
>>151016571Any character COULD. The problem is that they tend to fumble the attempts. Somebody somewhere would insist on converting her into a misunderstood anti-hero, instead of just letting her have adventures as an unrepentant villain.
>>151019613Isn't that what the latest Birds of Prey is kind of trying to do since she is teaming up with them now?
Seeing as this seems to be the most half-decent Inque thread we've had in a hot minute, anybody want to talk about anything else?
>>151018623D’oh!
>>151020707I'm surprised Inque never really tried to disuise herself by changing her hair and her body's clothes. I get that she doesn't have to but it still would have been fun to see
>>151016571Only if she did weird fetish shit like inflating people.
>>151016571Let’s see how she currently does as a member of the Birds of Prey right now first.
>>151021023I don’t think she can actually. She’s limited in that regard compared to Clay Face who can look like what/whoever he wants
>>151021715She can turn into puddles and objects but not alter her hair and body?
>>151016571No. That's like saying Black Cat should hold on her own series.
>>151021788Yep she’s basically stuck in the black and purple colors and her body and body shape is her default
>>151023064What if she cuts her hair?
>>151023273I'd assume it would just jump back towards her body. Remember that any part that separates from her tries its best to reconnect.
>>151025249But doesn't she change her face and hair when she switches forms
>>151016571yes, so long as it's convoluted political espionage mercenary shit. i can't remember what her motivations were but if it's money and bruce wayne is still alive he'd probably think it's funny to pay her off to do tasks that help mcguiness, as well as reward her for hero shit and fix society in ways that she can't find the usual evil bidders because they won't exist any more or become irrelevant, so she tries to manipulate situations in her favorit would be great to reintroduce Kurari again too, and inque's real nemesis and threat would be anyone who can use water or other shapeshifters like metamorpho, who can do both of those things. she would have to outsmart someone like metamorpho in extreme ways
>>151019209She can't have babies anymore. She's sterile
>>151026749Proofs?
>>151026749>source: trust me, brah
>>151023064She can do some crude self-disguising if it doesn't involve having to change colors. Inque once tried to hide as a seal in a zoo to evade Batman.
>>151021788Let's be honest, she could be whatever she wanted as long as she stays black and blue.
>>151028314Is this Dana cosplaying as Inque or Inque morphed into Dana
>>151028327Yes
>>151028327I always saw it as Dana if she was Inque instead but you can see it as what you said too. Here's an edit of Melanie as Inque.
>>151028435>On squid ink pasta night, everyone gives me shit, like I'm not always extra careful to make sure I don't drip into any of the foodAll these edits of Terry's girlfriends as Inque really just proves the strength of Inque x Terry
And to finish it off, an edit of Max.
>>151028314Until I actually saw Inque's episodes, I thought she actually was Dana after some mutational accident that happened after the pilot.
>>151026749Not in my fanfics!
>>151016571When are we going to stop pretending that anyone gives a shit about Batman Beyond? Just because it was airing during your childhood doesn't make it popular or important.
>>151028314Could she also be pure white or is that only restricted to the dot on her face
>>151028314>>151028435>>151028565>Inque Drops, a new drug derived from Inque's DNA that temporarily mutates people into her similar liquid state>Gets to be addictive, especially among women, and those taking it for maximum effect burn out and melt down to lifeless sludge>Inque herself has to find the source of this drug and dismantle it, because she does not approve of having her genes exploited like this for very personal reasonsThere, that's at least a four-issue mini.
>>151028864I'm not sure she's ever done that, but theoretically it might be possible?Problem is it looks important, like an equivalent to a sensory organ, so making it huge seems like a bad idea
>>151028857Even when it was new, people were mocking Beyond for turning Batman into a "skinny, limp-wristed ninja".
>>151028885I assumed it was solely visual but maybe it's her eyes? Stretching or punching it could be a weakness
>>151028917She always seems to use it as eyes, even in her other forms (including when she's a seal during The Call), and she almost always addresses others like it's her head, but since she's a blob person I'm not sure you can really call it an eye, I'd think it's more of a general purpose sensory organ that covers all the senses, or at least whatever senses she hasShe has taken a direct punch to the eye before, and it might've given Terry an extra second before he got tossed around again, she doesn't sound like she's bothered by it, hell it even breaks into globs and slides back into her body like it's nothingMaybe if you shone a very powerful light at her, maybe she'd flinch, or you'd get a dilation effect similar to how a regular eye dilates
>>151029051In that case it's probably more like a mask. Her sclera are white too in her human form so maybe she should be able to be pure white too
>>151029112It's hard to know when dealing with wildly different biology, but again, I suspect it'd make her unnecessarily vulnerable, if only to extreme or equally weird stimulation like sci-fi energies or magicHell maybe it's just something that's purely aesthetic and only exists due to her instincts, like her body recognises that it 'should' have a face and head, so it's actually not that important (while tricking people into thinking it is)Maybe if she was isolated from people for thousands of years like that one time Plastic Man ended up stuck at the bottom of the ocean, she wouldn't bother 'forming' it at allI wouldn't mind a deeper dive into Inque's capabilities and limitations, Batman having to figure out new ways of dealing with her is part of her appeal to me so some more focus on that could be cool
>>151029262>picOh, I was going to go on a tangent and say it'd probably be like if you squeezed Reed Richard's sensory organs particularly hard, or Plastic Man's or Elongated Man's, in that it might be unpleasant even if it doesn't cause damageBut I got distracted and came up with other stuff
>>151029262We do know that her "masked" form is more of a default state, as she can't shift back to a full-human appearance if her molecules are damaged.
>>151029262It would make her a little less of a threat if we knew too much of her biology but it would help raise stakes if she had a series
>>151029348It'd all be in service of "we figured out just enough about her to realise that she might not have an upper limit despite our best efforts" so she's stay scarySort of like how Plastic Man is really only held back by the writer's imaginations, and other similar characters with bullshit powers
>>151029455Fair enough
Bumping for more Inquey goodness. She always brings out good material.
Inque is so beautiful
>>151030566Inque gooeyness?
>>151030727That too.
>>151029051Maybe the "eye" is just for the sake of having something on her body for people to look at when speaking to her, possibly even a fake target for enemies to waste time attacking knowing it won't affect her.
>takes over Barda's body and pilots her around>later Barda uses her as a living gimp suitWhy yes I do like the new BoP.
>>151031502>Barda uses her as a living gimp suitGo on...
>All this talk of her eye>Remember the time she morphed a working headset
>>151032111Future technology huh
>>151032257She could have held it in her body until needed.
>>151033283I wonder if the mic picked up anything else
>>151033283You'd think so but she literally forms it from herself. She is close to Plastic Man tier bullshit at times. I guess it comes with being a shapeshifter.
Is there an in-universe reason for why Inque never really uses her powers when in human form?
>>151034208Not really. She just never seemed to use her powers much in human form.
>>151034208Probably her equivalent to wearing casual clothes when she doesn't feel the need to work.
Come to think of it, the series never bothered to explain how her body "worked", or what her motivations were ("get money" isn't enough... if she has enough cash why would she need to go through these missions, or work for a Blight type of CEO? if her cunt kid siphons all the dough how does she even live on a day to day basis? she's the most recurring villain so why not an episode focusing on her lifestyle from her actual POV mixed with Terry's?), or her relationship with normal people (with the rare exception of the daughter again, plus the douchebag character voiced by William H Macy, but there was no follow-up in either case whatsoever), or her backstory or her quirks...or anything lmao.>but you don't understand, she's supposed to be vain and mysterious!!!nobody at DC bothers about Beyond anyway, and the series was obviously more focused on fights and gimmicks than worldbuilding. we're cherrypicking stuff on a paper-thin character
>>151034881>she's the most recurring villainPretty sure that title goes to Spellbinder.
>>151034587Nice edit
>>151035083That's not an edit, that's a shot from the show. Now THIS on the other hand is an edit. A few of the previous threads came up with a headcannon of what if Inque's daughter Deanna got powers too.
>>151035480Huh I actually couldn't remember her stretching in her human form. This is a nice edit though
>>151035480staring at this pic makes me feel...funny.
>>151035636Lol. Here's a quick edit that someone a thread or two back asked for. I got to admit, this has been inspiring me to maybe edit a pic or two again.
>>151035636You like goo girls don’t you anon?
>>151036389I don't know about him but I know Inque's the reason I have one.Here's an edit of Max that I just finished. Anybody want an image edited?
>>151036285
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvntn4Ndy0wSounds great in Japanese.
>>151037860What is the pic from?
>>151038129https://x.com/CuratorPunished/status/1953296806491701344
>>151034927I think it goes >Spellbinder>Shriek>Inque>Stalker>Curare
>>151036752Inque showing cleavage?
>>151034881>how does she even live on a day to day basis?I always figured she doesn't need much considering she's a goo person who can live on ice for weeks"A Day in the Life of Inque" episode would be fun, though I feel like that's true of a lot of villains, could do a whole episode of shorts about villains on their off time>>151036752Have you done any Inque edits of the Deedee Twins yet?>>151040347She could fill out any cup size you wanted
>>151040347I was hoping for an image to be provided but whatever, I went with this one. I'm not much of an artist and this was banged out quickly so sorry for the quality. I also changed her suit a bit because why not?>>151040695I have but looking back, I don't like the quality. I might redo it some other day.
>>151040695You know what, I'll post it anyways. I even had an idea or two that went with it.>Concept art of them had a mirrored design along with red and white coloring so I went with that.>Idea was they would be able to combine together into a giant goo monster.
>>151041114CoolThese could have been Star Trek aliens
>>151040982lmao if she changed her outfit to that one, Terry would stand no chance>FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS
2nd best Beyond villian.
>>151041734Mad Stan wins again
>>151040982Looks great thanks!
>>151036752Could you do an edit of both forms wearing a suit? The base image of >>151040982 is fine
>>151019613Female villains almost always get ruined by writers turning them into anti heroes or giving them some tragic backstory for being evil since women just can't be bad guys
>>151042579Sporadic female villains and those with a limited shelf run before getting killed tend to make for the best female villains anyways.>Ig'Nea>daughter of galactic mob boss>has various powers including fireballs and the power of persuasion>woos Vril Dox to infiltrate and dismantle the space police force L.E.G.I.O.N.>Vril kills her dad>she kidnapped Stealth, tries to stab her to death then kidnap Vrils kid>Vril drops a building on her if I remember right
>>151016571Sure
>>151042579You are correct. I will always hate whoever came up with the idea of Inque having a tragic backstory. Thank god it's comics only though so it can be easier to ignore.
>>151043943Really?
>>151016571Kinda amazed they never brought her into the present day, but I guess she's ultimately a Clayface offshoot
>>151046975I thought they did, since she's now running with the Birds of Prey.
>>151042579I know, right?
Inque is hot. That is all.
>>151050573And she and Terry should be together. That is also all.
>>151051539Well, I won't disagree with that.
>>151052910Elegant
Good chara.
