With 1.3 billion people, if China didn't have measures to curtail population growth, they would soon evolve into a new species of humans, capable of breathing all that pollution.

Think about it: human evolution on time scales that we can observe. Take that, creationists! #science

@Roklimber: The product of his own mad science gone awry, this hideous "glow-in-dark" villain loves radioactivity. Able to control his body's radiation, the Duke uses it to intimidate his enemies into submission. Other characters must wear protective suits if they are going to spend a lot of time around him.
The Duke consumes radiation to make himself more powerful and must "recharge" himself periodically by exposing his body to massive doses of radiation. His long-term plan is to turn the world into a radioactive wasteland where he and his kind will thrive. Until then, he bides his time, hoping to set off a chain reaction here and there - maybe even a nuclear war.

If you look closely, you can see a battalion of Baatezu near the Yellow Sea.
