Square-Cube Law/Quotes

"Magic. Giant humans are always magic. You supersize a human with science, bones and tissue can't hold at that scale. They collapse into ten tons of screams, broken bones, and leakin' fluids."

—Peacemaker, Blue Beetle

"Grasshoppotamus: A creature that can leap to tremendous heights... once."

—from a fortune cookie

"Why do we even HAVE the square-cube law? [..] I wish giant monsters were as impossible as they're SUPPOSED to be!"

—Atomic Robo

"The biggest Primid of all. Its attacks are the same in form and function, but considerably more powerful than a normal Primid's. Watch out for its smash attack--it will launch you far. It also has jump and roll attacks. The bigger size means an increase in Shadow Bugs--does that mean it takes more Shadow Bugs to move bigger Primids?"

—Super Smash Bros Brawl, "Big Primid" trophy description
