Inventions[]
Bio-Dynamic Concealment[]
The tech used by Walter to inadvertently turn Lance Sterling into a Pigeon. Bio-Dynamic Concealment uses a CRISPR-Cas9 genetic editor, in an ingestible formula, that resequences DNA on a molecular level. There are 3 phases of transformation. The first phase is chromothripsis, in which many genetic rearrangements take place. Though this phase has no physical changes, it is a severely painful experience for the subject, as Lance is seen to pass out from the pain. Phase 2 is epigenetic modulation. During this phase, the subjects' genetic 'switches' flip from human to pigeon, and some physical changes can be seen. The final phase is the most painful, and the body is flooded with endorphins to help combat this pain. This phase is when the majority of physical changes occur and is likely the reason why it is so painful. From the time of drinking the formula, there is approx. 1 min before the transformation is complete. Due to the formula needing a sample of example DNA from the target animal, it is likely the formula could be used with any animal DNA. It should also be noted that this formula changes the biological gender of the subject to the gender of the animal the example DNA was taken from.
The Multi-Pen[]
The multi-pen looks like a regular multi ink pen, but Walter has built many unique and interesting gadgets within it. These include a freeze-ray, serious-string, a body numbing/liquifying zapper, and truth serum.
Inflatable Hug[]
The inflatable hug is a personal protection device, first imagined by Walter when he was 6. It creates a 'pressurised pocket of safety' around the occupant, protecting them from explosions, falls from great heights, etc.
Kitty Glitter[]
A grenade style weapon, when detonated it creates a cloud of glitter with kitten visuals and sound. This is because "the refracted light (from glitter) causes the enterochromaffin cells to release serotonin" and "watching kittens cause the enterochromaffin cells to release serotonin". Glitter makes people happy
Binder bubbles[]
The binder bubbles gadget is a harmless gadget that shoots out bubbles that capture and hold missiles until they explode.[]
Collide-oscope[]
The collide-oscope is a grenade that blinds opponents with a distracting color show that looks like looking into a kaleidoscope.
Security Blanket[]
It is a gadget that shoots out a security blanket which captures objects and envelopes them.
Fifty Shades of Yay []
The Fifty Shades of Yay is a non-threatening weapon made out of gas to blind opponents.
