*The Flood Super Cell shows remarkable similarities to the alien life form in the 1982 film [[wikipedia:The_Thing_(film)|The Thing]]. The cells of this alien being interfaces with and analyzes the cells of its victim, and simultaneously consumes them, shaping the resulting biomass to be a perfect replica of the victim. Similar to the Flood, the alien can reconstruct the matter of the victim in any way it chooses, and it is not something that can be cured, like a disease. | *The Flood Super Cell shows remarkable similarities to the alien life form in the 1982 film [[wikipedia:The_Thing_(film)|The Thing]].

*The Flood Super Cell's ability to consume and facilitate the use of an organism as an environment for its own prosperity closely parellels the abilities of real world microorganisms, specifically those of the [[wikipedia:agrobacterium|Agrobacterium]] genus. This genus of bacteria utilizes [[wikipedia:Horizontal gene transfer|horizontal gene transfer]], to insert harmful DNA into target plants, generating tumors that create an environment in which the bacteria can thrive in. | *The Flood Super Cell's ability to consume and facilitate the use of an organism as an environment for its own prosperity closely parellels the abilities of real world microorganisms, specifically those of the [[wikipedia:agrobacterium|Agrobacterium]] genus.
