Ask about physiological difference between Astro and normal human

[Alittleacorn]

Yes it's Dark Horse 22 and called "Astro II" - Elefun complied with a demand for a "more human" replacement for the original Astro who sacrificed himself saving the earth.

But becoming a "regular guy" completely RUINED Astro: In addition to becoming a womanizer, he become lazy, greedy/money-hungry, and thinks looking out for the greater good is "old fashioned." At the end, he's dragged off to jail and Elefun wishes the original Astro would return from the sun! It's very funny to read, and it was all done in jest if you read the forward in that edition of the manga.

Am I the only one who loves that Astro for the sake that he's so darn funny in that comic?

I agree. I thought he was hysterical!

See, I think the most recent incarnation of Astro would be able to utilize food (leaving no waste) to supplement his energy supply. Think "Mr. Fusion" from Back to the Future"!

Didn't Mr. Fusion use trash? Now I have the image of Astro Boy rummaging through someone's trash for a snack

Elefun: Astro? What are you doing?
Astro: *pulls his head out of a trash can, nibbling on some garbage* umm... nothing.

Now that I think about it, I think I DO remember that now Considering that was technically a "fake" Astro and not the real one, I'm curious though what would happen if you put the more "humanized" feature into our Astro. He'd probably go emo. XD
Oh, and the part of Astro being a womanizer that they don't consider; he boy has 100,000 horsepower. Could a woman even SURVIVE THAT? o_O
But now I think we've talked about this disturbingly too long XD

Now, let's go for another aspect: Astro doesn't digest food. It just comes down his stomach completely intact, as told on 1967's "Stories of Astroboy".

This is true. It's in the 80s series as well. He takes the food out and then just zaps it with his lasers. I couldn't help but think "Gee, what a waste of food." ^^;[/QUOTE]

"Could a woman even suivive that" that means what
