UTERUS MAN The super hero of the future looks like a uterus and fights his enemies with ”ova light waves”, often deploying an aggressive foetus in the process. Uterus Man, this transhuman, androgynous manga character, typifies a potential world beyond the human. A world determined by technoid figures, man/machine beings or merely algorithms; a world in which humanity is merely a life science construct.
