Blue Whale: Not a whale of a time, this game spells death.

 A sick suicide internet game called ‘Blue Whale’ that is being probed by Russian cops after being linked to 130 teen death

A sick suicide internet game called ‘Blue Whale’ that is being probed by Russian cops after being linked to 130 teen deaths and its copy cat, A Silent House and Wake Me Up at 2.40 am, which reportedly challenge participants to kill themselves as part of the tasks given, are giving city schools here the jitters. Most concerned are residential schools that have a good sprinkling of foreign students.

Fears have been raised that the sinister game is just the tip of the iceberg not just in Russia,  – which has one of the highest suicide rates in the world – but here in Bengaluru which has the second highest suicide rate after Delhi. The faculty of these city schools say they have blocked their students access to Internet  games on campuses, especially in  hostels, where students cannot be monitored round- the -clock.

  • Blue Whale involves teens completing tasks every day for 50 days including self-harming, watching horror movies and waking up at unusual hours.
  • On the 50th day, the controlling game reportedly instructs youngsters to commit suicide.
  • Mental health professionals and activists are calling for a probe to ascertain the reasons youngsters are attracted to these games.  Russia saw 24,982 suicides in 2014.

Said a principal of a residential school near Electronic City, “Many of our students have access to Internet and gadgets for a few hours in the hostels as their parents live abroad. But since news of these games spread, we have become very alert and have banned our students from playing games on social media.”
Added a faculty member of the school, ” For the past two or three days we have been getting frequent calls from parents asking if their children are playing games on social media. Thankfully, as we have strictly banned them, no student is playing them. But we are being watchful.”

Ms. Nooraine Fazal of Inventure Academy said,” I don’t believe any of our kids are playing them, thankfully!” Said general secretary of the  Karnataka Associated Managements of English Medium Schools (KAMS),  D Shashikumar, “All Internet games have been banned for students both on campus and in their homes as they are believed to make them violent and  suicidal. We are expecting the government to do something about these games on social media. It should come out with guidelines.”

DEADPOOL

156101669f62330f686d4f3fa4948fcc
Deadpool (Wade Winston Wilson) is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist/writer Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, the character first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (cover-dated February 1991). Initially Deadpool was depicted as a supervillain when he made his first appearance in The New Mutants and later in issues of X-Force, but later evolved into his more recognizable antiheroic persona. Deadpool, whose real name is Wade Wilson, is a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated healing factor and physical prowess. The character is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth wall, which is used by writers for humorous effect and running gags.

Personality

Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional comic book character.[ He commonly breaks the fourth wall, which is done by few other characters in the Marvel Universe, and this is used to humorous effect. He often has conversations with his two internal monologues, which are shown as caption boxes in his panels; in Deadpool #28 it is revealed that the villain Doctor Bong, a foe of Howard the Duck, is the logical voice appearing in yellow captions,and in Deadpool Annual #1 (2014) it is revealed that Madcap, a foe of Captain America, is the psychotic voice appearing in white captions with a typewriter serif.

Deadpool is depicted as having a regenerative healing factor, which not only prevents him from being permanently injured through enhanced cell regeneration throughout his body, but also causes psychosis and mental instability, as his neurons are also affected by the accelerated regeneration. It is thought that while his psychoses are a handicap, they are also one of his assets as they make him an extremely unpredictable opponent. Taskmaster, who has photo-reflexive memory which allows him to copy anyone’s fighting skills by observation, was unable to defeat Deadpool due to his chaotic and improvised fighting style. Taskmaster has also stated that Deadpool is an expert at distracting his opponents.

The character, known for his talkative nature, has been nicknamed the “Merc with a Mouth”.

Deadpool has sometimes been portrayed to have a strong sense of core morality. In Uncanny X-Force, he storms out after Wolverine tries to rationalize Fantomex killing Apocalypse, who was at the time in a child form. After Wolverine argues that Deadpool is motivated solely by money, Archangel reveals that Deadpool never cashed any of his checks

Deadpool’s primary power is an accelerated healing factor, depicted by various writers at differing levels of efficiency. Artificially endowed by Dr. Killebrew for the Weapon X program, this enables him to regenerate any destroyed tissue at a superhuman rate, as well as making him immune to diseases. Deadpool’s healing factor is strong enough that he has survived complete incineration and decapitation more than once.[citation needed] Although his head normally has to be reunited with his body to heal a decapitation wound, he was able to regrow his head after having it pulverized by the Hulk in the graphic novel Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.[volume & issue needed]

Deadpool’s brain cells are similarly affected, with dying neurons being rejuvenated at a super accelerated rate. This allows Deadpool to recover from any head wounds, and it renders him nearly invulnerable to psychic and telepathic powers, although this ability is inconsistent.[85][86] It has been revealed that at the time his healing ability was given to him, Deadpool suffered from some form of cancer; after the healing factor was given to him, it made his normal cells as well as his cancerous cells unable to die, giving him a heavily scarred appearance beneath his suit.[volume & issue needed]

Deadpool’s body is highly resistant to most drugs and toxins, due to his enhanced cell regeneration. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated. He can be affected by certain drugs, such as tranquilizers if he is exposed to a large enough dosage.[

Deadpool is effectively immortal, although he has died several times. He is still alive 800 years in the future when the new X-Force encounters him.In addition, Thanos once declared that Deadpool should “consider yourself cursed … with life!” out of jealousy over Deadpool’s status as Lady Death’s love interest. His enemy T-Ray later resurrected him,[ under Thanos’ instruction, using an artifact he had given him. Later, Deadpool was informed that Thanos had placed a curse on him, and tracked Thanos down. He revealed that the only thing keeping Wade alive was his “spell of darkest necromancy”. Although Thanos removed this curse in order to kill Deadpool, he felt forced to immediately bring him back using “a fusion of necromancy and science” in order to request his aid in tracking down Mistress Death, who had gone missing.

Deadpool is a highly trained assassin and mercenary, adept in multiple forms of martial arts, and an expert swordsman and marksman. Although in earlier years he was originally portrayed as having superhuman strength, he is no longer depicted as having this ability.

Over the years, Deadpool has owned a number of personal teleportation devices. Also, during Deadpool’s first ongoing comic, he possesses a device which projected holographic disguises, allowing him to go undercover or conceal his appearance. He also has a magic satchel containing all of his unlimited weaponry and ammo. Deadpool is multilingual, with the ability to speak fluently in German, Spanish, ASL, and Japanese, in addition to his native English.

Since Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional character, he uses this knowledge to his advantage to deal with opponents or gain knowledge to which he should not normally have access, such as reading past issues of his and others’
