X-Commies: Origin #1 - Steamy Shu

Shu Yi, genetically speaking, could've avoided becoming a mutant. DNA tests confirmed that her mutanity required some form of trigger to activate, a specific trigger.

At the age of five, which is the age where toddlers/kids try everything to satisfy their curiousity of the new world, Shu Yi tried many things. Lighting a match and burning her toe, eating chilli until her gums exploded, hiding behind her dad's car when he reversed and got run down, climbling a tree and jumping off a leaf like Indy Jones.

Wait. She's not that flexible. That's the Blue Ape, sorry.

She cycled into a drain pretending she was E.T., stayed underwater for 3 minutes and nearly drowning hoping to see Jaws... You know, curious girl.

So one day, her mom was boiling a lovely pot of potato/carrot/tomato soup. Her mom went into the toilet. Shu Yi woke up from her nap just then and followed her nose, like any other pig. She stood on a stool and opened the pot, and let the aroma of the soup fill her nose. She loved it so much she slowly leaned her head further and further into the pot, until her entire head was in the bowl of soup.

She did not suffocate, or melt, or boil. She continued breathing the soup.

When her mother got her out. She sighed, and the entire house was filled with a stench of potato soup.

Mutanthood achieved.
