As self inserts go...or should I say insertion of one's superhero 
roleplaying game character goes, this is quite good.  Clear prose, good
spelling.  It's all exposition/character introduction with no hint of a 
plot of course, but since the superhero has technology that Genom 
doesn't, it won't be hard at all to develop one.  

It isn't quite true that only the humanoid form is used for boomers.  
Some are quadrupeds, and there has been a hexapod.

I'm inclined to think the preference for humanoid form can be blamed on 
the assets and limitations of the biological goo inside the boomers

Suddenly though, Lisa Vanette reminds me incredibly of Mihoshi.
