Ability name
When I created the name I accidentally put wrong ability name, I changed it to what I thought best described her ability. However if people think this should be changed back please say so. I have added a rename tag just so people can voice their opinions. --posted by Laughingdevilboy Talk 10:33, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- Perhaps acidic blood would be slightly more appropriate. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 11:15, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- That was my other thought, however I thought Bloody acidity sounded more like an ability. --posted by Laughingdevilboy

- Yes, acidic blood sounds as though she just has something wrong with her blood, not that she has a special ability --Mc hammark 11:23, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- Acidic Blood definitely. it sums it up perfectly, and tbh mc hammark, if you do have acidic blood there is something wrong with your blood, its not really a useful thing ;P --Lolwut 15:13, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- Neither one is perfect... Acidic Blood sounds too medical condition-y and not like an ability while Blood Acidity doesn't really sound like an ability. --Peter 15:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- It's no worse than puppet master (an occupation), or enhanced hearing or memory (pseudonatural occurences -- people with naturally strong hearing and memory do exist). Correctness of the name is paramount. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 15:43, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- Then I'd have to go with Acidic Blood. --Peter 15:46, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

Acid Blood
no? -- Meteoritu 21:01, 14 April 2009
- surprisingly i like it! --Peter 16:25, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- I do not mind this suggestion, as long as it doesn't go back to Mary's ability. --posted by Laughingdevilboy

Most useless ability ever
- Think so? I literally cannot see any practical use for it :D i mean you could escape from a concrete cell possibly if you bled yourself to death... --Lolwut 17:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- Not to death. Just enough to get through the concrete. --BoomerDay 17:48, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- it still useless if your under combat or ecaping--Cj31094 19:31, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- It could've been a side-effect of her ability. We only saw her getting shot; maybe if she got the chance she would've done something that would've been more useful. --BardinessBoy 19:41, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
- I'm sorry, i must be slow or something, but i have been looking at the comic, and most specifically the panel where Mary got shot. Which part of that panel even suggests the use of acid blood? If the blood WAS acidic, shouldn't there be some burning effect? or at the very least the "sheesh" or some other sounds to indicate that there was in fact some chemical reaction going on? The guy she fell on and had the blood over was also still, not like what you would expect for someone who is being burnt...
