Nerve agents Memes

The chemical warfare Olympics are in full swing! This meme ranks three notorious nerve agents by their potency, with VX taking the gold medal for "best nerve damage." The characters' expressions perfectly mirror the escalating horror of these compounds. TL-599 (left) and methyl cyclosarin (middle) are scary enough, but VX (right) is the neurotoxic superstar that makes other chemical weapons look like breath mints. VX works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, essentially freezing your nervous system in permanent "on" mode. Just 10mg on your skin and you're playing harp with the angels. No wonder the character looks absolutely terrified – they know the biochemical scoreboard!
