Poison: Is she a he?

The topic over Final Fight’s Poison has been debated over the years. Many have noted that the pink haired slapper is not all woman.

Not this debate again.

IT'S A TRAP!

I bet Poison is KayoPolice's favorite character in the Capcom universe.

Poison's a chick but cause of weak sauce censorship in the west cause beating up a women is bad she was changed to a dude.

So this debate is all cause of p***y bureaucrat...go fig.

If that's the case then I guess android 18 in dragonball z was a guy in the US by your reasoning too. Did you even watch the video? Japan even labeled her as a tranny long before a US release.

If you read these parts Akira Yasuda 'stated' Poison was a tranny....well of course since he is sitting in the same room with a playtester who complained. Like he was going to reply she was a girl for it may prevent the game from releasing in the west.

Android 18 is a robot, that was made very clear so there is a difference not a lot but still a difference. Hitting a 'robot' is easier to digest than 'hitting' a flesh & blood girl if you describe it as that.

My point is that occasionally so called 'bureacrats' get involved in stuff that they should mind their own business that is all.

Actually android 18 is a Cyborg. A android is completely mechanical, she and 17 were still capable of breeding just like all other organic life form. They where humans before they where robots

@BubloZX: Not quite but they are similar. An Android has a biological exterior and living brain but has a mechanical skeletal structure and all mechanical organs. Basically a living machine that started out as a real person. A Cyborg is almost entirely biological with the exception of mechanical additions grafted onto the pre-existing body. an example of a cyborg would be Will Smiths character in I-Robot because of the hydraulic arm. A robot is entirely mechanical.

@izumo_lee: Did you even watch the video? The original concept art for the game listed Poison as transgendered long before the game ever even came out or became a controversy. In order for you're argument to be valid, Capcom would have had to travel back in time to make the changes.

Android 18 is an Android, Not a robot. There is a difference. In one of the episodes she reveals that both her and 17 used to be a real people and that Dr. Gero TURNED them into androids. Cell is the only android that is completely artificial.

[JoeSchmoh]

Yup, censorship pretty much. so they changed the character into a guy when it came out here in the states. Same with Shen Long who was originally an April Fools joke in a videogame magazine back in the 90s called EGM. Saying you can fight him if you get all these perfects and super finishers. LOL

[JohnnyMann420]

Capcom already answered it. She/he is both and neither. They have created a paradox and don't want to offend anyone so they officially said he/she will never be revealed as either.

[LX-General-Kaos]

If Poison is a man.. Then that is the most beautiful man I have ever seen.

Rated E For Everyone

Ha

[TheColbertinator]

Poison is a transgender,female body,has a penis.It happens.

[MadMax]

Ohh geez, comon. People werent even thinking about this kind of nonsense back then! Its only the new twisted trend that wants to keep playing these sexual wondering games. A man should be a man and a woman should be a woman! Any other way is twisted, confused, perverted and just flat out wrong!!!

[PersonMan]

How is it perverted? Do you even go outside of your home? Get real and stop living in your little shell.

[MadMax]

For one, theres no need to attack someone for having an opinion. Thats for starters. Its ok, as most liberals ive experienced dont know how to control their tempers, so i am plenty used to that. From my experience, and believe me i have had plenty of gay friends, that i will debate any day of the week.

It is mostly about lust and perversion, not love! Get it? Any man that wants to stick his dick in another mans butthole is flat out perverted! You dont agree? Then you need to seek some medical attention. Maybe you need to stop believing everything you hear and hype, and think for yourself!

Show a little respect and intelligence next time, if you have any, before you open your stupid little mouth, and show your true ignorance. Not everyone has to agree with your weird lifestyle, so deal with it kid!

[TheCopyNinja]

It's obvious why they decided to call her a transgender. Look at her. Easily the sexiest female character Capcom has made. Puts every other female fighter in the SF world to shame.

[ScytheX3]

man, fools are still on this shit? get over it, its a fucking fictional character that doesnt exist, for all you know ryu was born a women too and akuma is gay and ken secretly watches gay porn -_- my point is, fucking fictional character, fictional world who gives a fuck.

[8bit_Nes_Rambo]

I'd still hit that.

[Leonex]

It's 2012 come on people....

[Hicken]

Does it really matter?

I mean, I've heard that Capcom actually has two "official" stories: one is that Poison is a crossdresser, and the other is that Poison is transgender. In either case, just as in real life, Poison is Poison.

Does it matter, either way?

[SaveFerris]

Poison 'I'm not like other girls'.
