    Gawd, if that dude didn't look so much like Kid Rock, whom I despise, I might be tempted. I won't be able to read this without thinking "Kid Rock wants to suck my blood." #americanvampire

    I think that stuff like this is an excellent counterpoint to all of the indescribably lame, foppish vampire drivel going on right now. Less brooding and more killing. #americanvampire

    For a second I read the headline as "Our American Vampire Cousin" and thought it was about a secret vampire plot to kill Lincoln. #americanvampire

    "Mickey Mouse now owns your favorite comic publisher..."

    "everyone's favorite superhero couple, Hawkeye and Mockingbird"

    Dude, both those phrases are rather presumptuous. Especially when you consider that Hawkeye and Mockingbird are essentially a ripoff of Green Arrow and Black Canary.

    The Doctor: Relax. He's a fifty-first century guy. He's just a bit more flexible when it comes to 'dancing'.

    Rose Tyler: How flexible?

    The Doctor: Well, by his time, you lot are spread out across half the galaxy.

    Rose Tyler: Meaning?

    The Doctor: So many species, so little time.

    Rose Tyler: What, that's what we do when we get out there? That's our mission? We seek new life and...

    [weakly]

    Rose Tyler: and...

    The Doctor: [nodding] Dance.

    Akin, Human-Oankali hybrid from the Lilith's Brood books by Octavia Butler.

    I'm going to be that guy for a moment, too, and suggest that Hera doesn't qualify, as she's a Human/Robot hybrid, although I realize that semantically speaking it could be made to fit.

    @syafiqjabar:

    I suppose technically Hera would count because she Athena was a robot built on another planet, so she's a Human/Alien-Robot hybrid, but I'm finicky about things.

    There's the one from Out of This World (the TV series), and Mearth from Mork and Mindy.


    Is anybody from Babylon 5 a hybrid? I forgot.


    If Joss Whedon's demons count as extradimensional aliens than Doyle sure is one.

    @syafiqjabar: Technically the "modern" Minbari race is part human, part pre-Shadow War Minbari.


    Delenn uses her genetic heritage as a loophole to marry John Sheridan. As she is not 100% Minbari, she is somehow exempt from the rule that Minbari shall not marry non-Minbari, or something. Maybe it was, Minbari are part human, and John Sheridan is human, therefore it's cool? I dunno, but if Valen was half human, half Minbari, then his kids were 25% human.. and their kids were 12.5% human.. and......... man, I knew I should have paid more attention in math.


    Of course, all that is insignificant after Delenn uses the chrysalis and becomes half human/half Minbari.
