#I love being able to ramble about this godforesaken game and its wacky lore to my friends so much

wait how did medic invent mpreg

Ah, good question! Here, lemme explain. For a bit of warning, this does spoil the comics. If you want to read them (which I highly recommend doing), read here!

I'd start first with the comics Loose Cannon, Blood Brothers, A Fate Worse Than Chess, maybe a couple Halloween comics to get you familiar with Merasmus (I'd say Gargoyles & Gravel, Blood Money, and Doom-Mates) before THEN jumping into the mainline comics (including the catch-up one first). They're quite funny and pretty short, so you'll be done in no time.

But, that's just me. If you just want a simple and easy explanation, read on. It makes more sense if you've familiarized yourself with the comics, but yeah.

So, in the third comic (A Cold Day in Hell), right at the end we are greeted with the sight of a familiar face. Medic! Here is literally the first page he shows up in.

So. Yeah. Medic has been sewing baboon uteruses the TFC mercs. Hasn't gotten to everyone, but that implies that a couple have some in them.

Fast forward to comic six (The Naked and the Dead) where we get a payoff to this joke. After Medic sells another soul to the devil, he's left with a pen. Then, this scene happens.

So. Yeah. Classic Heavy has baboon uteruses inside him.

Ah-ah-ah! And before you say: "Oh he was bluffing! The pen doesn't do anything!"

This.

It works. Fucking mad man. I love him.

Oh! And before I forget, I wanna quickly mention that this is one of at least THREE instances in the series of men being pregnant and or having a uterus. In the Blood Brother's comic, Redmond and Blutarch discuss building a pregnancy machine to have heirs. In some promotional material for an update, we get the will of Zepheniah Mann, where (among other things) he was dying of a womb infection. How did he get a womb infection? From the uterus that's just. Inside him.

It's so stupid and so dumb and I adore this series so much.
