Read enough comic books and you blithely accept strange accidents of super science, questionable physics and laughably inaccurate anatomy as not only normal, but believable. But every once in a while, the real world rears back and pops you right between the eyes with an example of its own ineffable strangeness.

Like say, when a recent Australian scientific expedition beneath the Great Barrier Reef returned with photos of a new species called the deep sea amphipod crustacean, which looks a lot like Marvel’s Dire Wraith.

It’s only a matter of time until ROM buzzes the International Space Station.
