In practice, this means everyone are ridiculous, cheap Expies of themselves: Chewbacca is a chimpanzee, Darth Vader wears a Skeletor outfit and rides a Triceratops, the Kennedy Space Center is a potential target for the Death Star, etc. The Star Wars lianhuanhua "summarizes" the original trilogy ( A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) from a "different persective".Not so for their knockoffs-slash-"rivals", the Legion of the Chartreuse Tortoise, whose only goal is to get whatever Macguffin the Horde is looking for at the time, have members who are ridiculously bad at keeping their membership a secret, and have so little funding that they have to borrow a friend's phone to contact the heroes. In Disney comics, the Horde of the Violet Hare may have a silly name, but they're surprisingly dangerous and dark.Apparently, the writers were aware that each Expy was pretty bad, so the writers decided to have quantity if they couldn't have quality. A bootleg Russian comic featured Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Predator, and a T-rex.Towards the end of the series, it's revealed that they're based on an attempt to recreate Mina Harker based on her corpse-meaning they're not even based on an actual vampire. Alucard is obviously not normal for a vampire, but even the far younger Seras was visibly stronger than Millennium vampires when she was just a fledgling, and when she became full-blooded, she was able to lift multi-ton war vehicles, create shadowy appendages, and regenerate from massive injuries, treating them as practically a nuisance. But the "true" vampires we see are on another level. The Millennium vampires in Hellsing can do a decent impression of a vampire to an untrained person: they have Super Strength enough to wield heavy weapons one-handed, are sturdy enough to shrug off small arms, can turn humans into minions by biting them, and frequently possess extra powers like Super Speed or magical gifts.Whilst some truly fortunate SMILE users do get useful mutations or shifting abilities that can be useful, even the so-called successes are largely deformed and/or useless. As for the "successful" 10%? They get you to roll on a Superpower Russian Roulette where your results are "watered-down version of Zoan animorphism", "a permanent animalistic mutation that grants you useful powers", "a permanent animalistic mutation that grants you powers but not the Required Secondary Powers", "a permanent animalistic mutation that is useless and/or disfiguring", and "permanently gaining a sapient animal as either a conjoined twin or a limb replacement". What they got was a knock-off where 90% of the fruits give you no powers and curse you with Super Drowning Skills and an inability to express any emotion bar smiles and laughter. The intent was to create an artificial replica of the Zoan category Devil Fruits that could be mass produced.
