Quote:Strictly speaking, the Jokers of Wild Cards were simply physically deformed. Kestrel (a woman with wings growing from her shouldersgenerally thought of as an Ace by the public) admits that she's a Joker in Book IV of the original series.
Ace: Extremely beneficial biomod, with no or relatively few negatives.
Deuce: Beneficial biomod, but not as powerful as an Ace mod, or else with one or more negative points to it.
Joker: Non-beneficial biomod. Could be disfiguring, at least compared to human norm, or it causes other harmful effects.
Joker-Ace: Disfiguring biomod with beneficial effects (e.g., the "troll" - superstrength coupled with ugliness)
