Osmosis Jones vs The Thing

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

The best thing about the Thing? It can fight a very wide range of characters.

Fight takes place in Frank Detorre. Ozzy has just found a single Thing cell trying to assimilate another WBC cop. After fireing a few rounds, the Thing cell and the WBC cop are seperated and the fight begins.

I have no idea how this will go, but we might as well try.

How fast does the thing assimilate from one cell?

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

Couple seconds?

I mean, with the full body, from a cell.

Wouldn't it start assimilating everything around them, and eventually just overtake frank?

Although Ozzy might have a shot if he opens with shooting it and lands a hit.

The Thing reproduces to fast and can hide itself. It overpowers Ozzy in no time.

I mean, considering it's only a few micrometers away from Ozzy, he can pop a cap in it before it reproduces once.

IDK how fast its cells divide, but the fastest bacterial cell division takes like 10 minutes. Human cells can take 8-10 hours at the absolute fastest.

Couple hours at the least. As the Thing cell divides and assimilates more cells the process is exponential.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

So the first divide should take some time, then. I might be able to see how fast it assimilated humans from a single cell. I'll do the math and come back.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Okay, so the base 2 log of 37.2 trillion (number of cells in the body) is around 45, so the thing divides/assimalates a cell 45 times in, let's say, 2 hrs.

That's around 2.5 divisions a minute. So Osmosis gets a good 20 seconds + to fight with one cell before it assimalates another and so on.

I can't remember why I abandoned this, but I figure I should correct the timeframe I gave earlier. It's under an hour to mostly assimilate a human body. I have no idea why I said a couple hours before.
