Posted On Apr 3rd 2011:
Alright, folks: we're locking all related threads to this topic and asking everyone to consolidate their comments, questions, and speculation here so we don't explode the forum with a thousand new threads.
Try to keep in mind the guidelines we have stickied for threads like this. Everyone's excited about a big new unknown in the city, but please try to keep wild speculation and bad information to a minimum. Thank you all!

So was anyone actually there when it happened?? My friend's cousin works at Fugly's and swears that thing ROARED and broke the sound barrier or something. It was also apparently sort of polite and tipped well?!?! Actually losing my mind here.

Did you see the video where it landed with GG? It's a little dark and blurry from someone's shitty cheapass phone but Big Blue dropped down *without a sound* behind her. And the way it walked?? You CANNOT tell me that's natural. I tiger, centipede and squid had baby and it prowled around like a greasy burger predator. Freaky.

Please don't panic. I trust Glory Girl, she's smart and wouldn't be running around in public with a villain. That said, I get she's intense-looking. Give her some space and patience as if you were in her shoes. Claws. Feet. Paws?

Yeah, don't panic, no big deal, not like there's some baby E.B. chilling and mowing down pounds of food. What happens when that thing gets hungry and there isn't a hero there to feed it, huh? What is it, some wet tinker's pet that got loose?
@vista She? No chance.

Saw it three days ago. Crouched on a roof by the boardwalk. Thought it was some kind of macabre gargoyle art project. Then it twitched.
Looked right at me.
Didn't breathe. Didn't blink.
I BOOKED it. NEVER AGAIN.

Me and my roomie were walking past railyard Friday night. Saw something blue crouched on all fours in an alley. It was whispering in tongues over a pile of dead mutts. Then it turned and whispered at us.

I don't care what anyone says, capes don't do that. We took off.

I've been trying to figure that out too. I'm thinking like, maybe fifteen feet for the body? Then the tail is more than double that. Tip of the beak to end of the tail, we might be talking fifty feet, man. Also, as an engineer, I'm going to spitball five, maybe six thousand pounds? Hard to say with certainty, there's a lot of variability with asphalt, the blend, temperature, etc. can make a huge impact. Couple tons though, for sure.

Nice picture, but a reminder that we don't allow any adult content, *especially* in the case of minors or Wards.
This is approaching a gray area, so please just be careful. And don't link to any material that might violate our policy on an external site here. First and only warning for that.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
I was there, this is me. Not sure if it speaks or just like, growls or something, people were saying it seemed to be communicating with Glory Girl while they were eating at one point. Seems to be intelligent and have a personality at least, it was sticking its tongue out and photobombing in the background. I'm not good with stuff like this, so I basically took straight off after getting the pic for proof.

Hey all, just confirming this is me, no imposters or anything. Don't have a ton of time to chat at the moment, so I'll be quick and maybe pop a response or two in.
This is Apex.
They're new.
They're cool, independent, and team good guys.
They got into a little tussle with me and the Merchants northside last night, we hung out after, got food, as you all know.

Oh, good catch, thanks cowboy.
Apex and I had a friendly spar, I was helping them get a feel for their powers, typical cape stuff, really. Merchants crashed in on us where we were and demanded tolls. Apex jumped out and scared them so bad they literally ran away. Mush screams like a schoolgirl and Skidmark has a new reason to rock that name, haha.

Do NOT believe the hype. Apex is probably a monster cape trying to play nice and pose for photos. We've seen this before. S9 did it. Teeth did it. It never lasts. If he's so nice, where's their PRT connection? Independent? Red flag, telling you all.

Yep, +1. You think a monster like that has good intentions, I've got a tinktertech bridge to sell you. This is B.Bay, shit -sucks- here. Probably secretly a nazi, asian supremacist, closeted serial killer or some other fucked up shit. We should put Apex down BEFORE she decides she's hungry again. Glory Girl is being a dope. This won't end well.

The Wiki isn't a toy for shitposting. Known aliases are fine, don't just make crap up and stick in there for the memes. Speaking of which:

Backchannel from my contacts in PRT ENE: Planning to approach Apex, trying to work through the degrees of separation between PRT and Apex. Supposedly getting stonewalled by New Wave leadership who has a direct connect. My assumption here is there is political friction and maybe some egos butting heads between the groups.
Personal note here: I'd love to talk to New Wave leadership and/or Apex directly. Get in my DM's and we can maybe work something out.

Biology PhD candidate here, BBU.
I’m a Biology PhD candidate at BBU. Every time I see Apex, my brain short-circuits a little—but I can’t look away. She’s fascinating. Nothing about her form should be evolutionarily viable, and yet she moves like it was made to work. She shouldn’t exist, and I can’t stop thinking about how she does.
Looking through the videos and photos that have been posted here and in the other threads, she's got:
-Distinct aquatic coloration and camouflage patterning
-Endo- *and* exoskeletal traits
-Numerous visible sensory organs, some possibly redundant
-Predator morphology across multiple clades
-Insectile wings that scream Odonata
-Color-matched carapace armor and plating, some seamless with her hide
-Humanoid elements, especially in the lower arms and hands
I could go on. My head is flooded with theories. Apex, if you're reading this, I would give *anything* to meet you. You're a walking dissertation or five, easily.

Sorry, thought that was clearly a joke. I don't eat people. I'd take a sponsorship for F.B.'s though, HMU. Maybe I can get one styled after me.
Also, a lot, maybe even most of the posts on here are wildly wrong. I've been out and about Brockton Bay two days now, and in public once. I'll be staying, though.
