Biological superhero

Characteristics of the supertardigrade

As found in the section the risk of other organism the tardigrades are the animals that have shown more resistance to the extreme conditions that space can generate for space travelers, so in ANALYST we believe that the best option for the creation of a superhero that is able to survive these conditions is based on this species. In general, this species has demonstrated that it is capable of resisting x-rays, temperatures between 0°c and 150 °c, and withstands pressures up to 6000 times greater than that of the Earth's atmosphere. Likewise, in experiments carried out by Japanese agencies, tardigrades can last frozen for 30 years and they recover quickly; isolation and confinement affect them to a small extent since there is a gene that protects them from contracting or suffering from stress. Thus, all these special features can be considered the tardigrade with a superhero but still has some weaknesses, therefore our team endowed him with the following abilities: A tail that allows it both to defend itself in hostile environments and to pierce the surface where it is in search of water; The four limbs that are on the sides will allow it greater support and agility in any situation where the terrain is not stable; The antennae on the top of the head allow it a large-scale communication that allows it both to collect and transmit some danger signal; In the curves of his body he will have a kind of capsules between the skin that he can fill with oxygen before going into space so that he has an emergency reserve; For protection from space radiation, the gene that covers the proteins that protect him from gamma rays was increased to protect him also from cosmic rays. All these characteristics generate a unique biological being that withstands the main space risks that can be found in space travel as in the vacuum itself.
