There is the option of fusing the CHON in Madblood up to iron. But your answer is more in line with how Dave does things…

It’s the breakthrough – when you first go mad, you always go big. And for Dave, a death ray isn’t big. It was like the second thing he did at Narbonics.

“You humans”. Nice touch!

I would exempt myself from that epithet, but that might blow my cover.
;-p

Presumably they would absorb metal molecules from everything Madblood touches, using them to replace other molecules in his body one by one until he was fully metallic.

And no, “nanorobotic virus” is not redundant; it’s simply the non-portmanteau version of “nanovirus”.

Latent Malign Hypercognition Syndrome. In plain English, it’s sort of a non-differentiated insanity brought on by being way smarter than most people, and thus able to perceive reality without the blinders that you humans normally view the world through.

Although the significance of clear glasses was not planned from the start, one can ret-con a few things.  In the time-travel arc, Dave’s glasses are clear when in his 6- and 16-year-old bodies, as his 26-year-old self knows what was going on then, but opaque when in his 46-year-old one.  The actual Future!Dave’s are clear, as fits his being past today’s revelation.  As for Dr. Narbon, it is obvious now that glasses cloud up with one’s age, another thing that happened to Dave during college.  Maybe *that* explains why my eyesight is deteriorating?
