Silicone Dream

My most recent foray into the free material at the library netted me an unconventional choice, at least for me. I am mostly not at all familiar with the MC2 line from Marvel despite having read a few Spider Girl comics. The general concept is pretty interesting to me, as I love to re-imagine comic book worlds where characters have a slightly different spin and this is essentially what this is. Spider Girl was not for me though, instead I picked up a copy of the trade paperback of the American Dream miniseries:

The entire thing was a pretty fun story, kind of light at times, although it tried to tackle the important issue of illegal immigration. One thing which irked me was a scientific transgression so evident that is almost painful to mention:

In both cases it is evident that the "scientists" are in fact referring to silicon, not to silicone. Silicone is indeed made of silicon, but there are a lot of other things thrown into the mix, giving it a mostly flexible nature. Silicon itself seems to be what they are referring to as the bad guys exhibits rock like characteristics and properties, not being extremely flexible (or ... ahem ... having well endowed bosoms). In the end the main bad guy fixes his own mistake:

It makes me wonder though why the writer didn't bother with a simple spell check seeing as he was using two separate words throughout, not knowing that they were not the same. Not a huge deal I suppose, only that attention to detail can make such creativity more fulfilling.
