In our last post of the year, let's talk about the Anatomy of a Fudgehead.
With the exception of the two robots (Tea Cup and PlatOmega), all of the members of the Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club have been physically reshaped by Omnichronus, the god-like Judge of Worlds, into beings who can survive in the rigors of the vacuum of deep space and the various harsh alien planets that they will have to regularly travel to. In order to be able to exist in such conditions, you would need to be upgraded to fit the following conditions:
1) You would need to no longer have the need to Eat, Drink, Breath, or Sleep.
2) You would need to be able to be protected from the vacuum of space, as well as high pressure environments, as well as extreme temperatures (I've heard space is pretty cold).
3) You would need low level telepathy so you could communicate with other lifeforms (which would also come in handy when you're on an alien world and you run afoul of aliens who speak alien languages, having a low level of telepathy would make communication easier).
4) You would need very tough skin so that every little piece of space debris hurtling through the void didn't cut a hole right through you.
The human body, in essence, is a a whole bunch of water, with a bunch of water-filled meat sacks floating in it, supported by some bones, and wrapped up in a semi-porous (spelled it right? What up!) membrane. So, what would the body of a cosmic being be like?
Well, instead of water, the body of a cosmic being would be composed almost entirely of cosmic energy. No blood. No fluids. None of the icky crap we're used to farting out on a daily basis. Just energy (NOTE: I think there's a scene where Cactus Joe bleeds a little in "Clown & Penguin" #2. This was a mistake on my part, although the blood may also have been a slight biological remnant of the Clown's former anatomy). Instead of traditional organs, a cosmic being would have organs that would be fewer in number, denser (possibly made out of chrystaline or rock-like materials), and largely devoted to the efficient processing of cosmic energy throughout the body. Bones would be unnecessary, so let's just forget about that. The Brain, again, would have to be composed of different materials, and would have to be of an advanced enough nature so as to easily encourage mind-to-mind communication. And lastly, instead of skin, you would need a thin, flexible, and extremely dense material that could protect the rest of the body from extreme impacts. The "skin" would also need to be resistant to extremes of heat and cold, because after all, you would need to be protected when entering a planet's atmosphere (don't wanna burn up upon entry afterall). In further addition, the "skin" would need be designed to draw in and absorb the ambient energies that would fuel the rest of the body.
So, that's pretty much the way the Fudgeheads bodies work. If you'll look at this page, you'll notice cracks in the skin of both Eyemo and Eyemii after they've been damaged, and you'll notice energy leaking out of the wounds.
The other trick that the Followers of Omnichronus possess that is unique to them, is that when they are severely injured, they can instantly (even when unconscious) generate a Cocoon made of solidified cosmic energy that will not only protect them from further injury, but also will repair their bodies at a fairly rapid rate. This ability is a gift from Omnichronus to his followers to ensure that they remain safe even when he is unable to protect them.
