CSI: Suicide Squad

scene from Suicide Squad #18

I’m impressed that Vixen is able to tell that the dozens of dead people she stumbled across died of “cerebral hemorrhage” (bleeding in or around the brain) or a “burst heart”, since neither of these leave noticeable external marks or signs. Generally it takes an autopsy or some sort of radiology (e.g. x-ray or CT scan) to diagnose these.

VixenI will admit that depending on where exactly the heart burst, and whether the pericardium — the sac surrounding the heart — ruptured as well, there could be some significant blood pooling and bruising on the underside of the body. Of course, these people are all wearing clothing so she wouldn’t be able to see the bruising without a much closer look.
VixenI’ll give her the “beaten to death” diagnosis though. That one does leave pretty obvious external marks.
VixenMaybe she’s using her powers to gain the abilities of some particular animal to make these deductions, but if that’s the case, I can’t imagine what animal it would be.

  1. How recently dead are they? She could be mimicking a pit viper, allowing her limited access into the infrared, which would show greater concentrations of the(still warm) blood pooling in the brain and chest cavity. Or not.

  2. Clearly the animal in question is Dr. House.

  3. She has absorbed the powers of the rare and elusive Northwestern Neurosurgeon Forensic Maximus. It also grants her the ability to take about two points off her golf game.

  4. Obviously, she’s channeling the abilities of the Grey Haired Grissom, a solitary desert creature with a fondness for bugs and an unerring ability to tell the cause of death of simians.

  5. I agree cerebral burst cannot be detected without xray. She surely had some kind of super power

  6. Dude, your blog rocks. It really does.

  7. “I can’t imagine what animal it would be.”

    Obviously it is the X-Ray Fish.

  8. Thank goodness she eventually lost the wolverine haircut and stopped dressing up like some sort of Big Bird groupie.
