Suit and version numbers make no sense


So, Violet can turn invisible, she gets a suit that can -also- turn invisible.

But how does that work? Her invisibility is based on willpower, thoughts, etc. Does the suit tap into her thoughts? It was shown that the suit turns invisible if she puts an invisible part of her near it or touches it or something.

(How THIS works, is not explained, though - wouldn't the suit have to be basically SENTIENT to be able to do that?)

However, the reason why this suit makes no sense is that Violet can turn any PART of her body invisible, without it affecting the rest of the body. So what SHOULD happen with the suit is 'nothing', if she just makes her HAND invisible. Does she want the WHOLE suit to turn invisible just because she turns her hand invisible?

This would mean she would look naked for all intents and purposes. Everyone could see her underwear or 'naughty bits', depending on what she is or isn't wearing under that suit.

Shouldn't the suit only be invisible at the EXACT invisible parts of her body that she makes invisible? So, if she makes her mid-section invisible, the suit should ONLY be invisible from that part, or it would reveal her skin.

However, this brings more problems - if Violet makes her mid-section invisible, what would we see from a slightly elevated angle? I mean, would we see her muscles, bone, veins, etc.?

The suit would have to basically have the same powers as she has, and be in some kind of mental contact, AND be able to adjust every molecule of itself for 'invisibility', or it simply couldn't work the way it should for someone like Violet.

Hence, the suit makes NO sense. The suit should not have reacted to her hand being invisible, except by rendering the 'glove part' invisible (if that is even part of the suit and not a separate thing, which would of course still have the same problems - think of an invisible finger rendering the whole glove invisible, not very practical!).

Then the version numbers.. Omnidroid v.x2 and v.x4 makes no sense.

What WOULD make sense is 0.0x, 0.1x, 0.2x.

Think about it, first of all, 'v' means 'version', it's not part of the number. It should also be a capital V, because it's a 'start of a new sentence'. Third of all, why would the X be in THAT place??

Version 0.01 would be the first prototype, it wouldn't have reached the first version yet, because it's still buggy and needs a lot of work, but can kill some newbie superhero already.

Version 0.02 would be a bit better, more fixed prototype, but still not perfect.

Version 0.10 is a completely NEW, much improved thing, earning itself an earlier digit. It's like a series. First you have a 0.0-series, then 0.1-series, then 0.2-series until you finally reach 1.00 and then 1.01 and so on.

Therefore, the SMALLEST number being the one that CHANGES constantly, should have the 'x'.

The X should also NOT be capitalized, as it's not starting a new sentence, etc.

Why does the computer use CAPITAL LETTERS so much, like some angsty teenager that never learned grammar and wants everything she writes to have a huge impact, but then puts a small 'v' when it should absolutely use a capital V?

NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!! Syndrome SUCKS, I would gladly punch him in the face all day long JUST for this stupid nonsense in his computer system! Learn some basic grammar at least! Fkin supervillains.. always such morons.

In any case, it should look like this:

Omnidroid V0.01
Omnidroid V0.02
Omnidroid V0.04
Omnidroid V0.08
Omnidroid V0.10
Omnidroid V0.40
Omnidroid V0.75
Omnidroid V0.80
Omnidroid V1.00
Omnidroid V1.02

AND SO ON. What, you don't like all-caps? Complain to Syndrome's computer!

So this way, it would make sense, and the series could be easily identified. The first droids would be the 0.0x-series, the second generation would be 0.1x, the next would be 0.2x or 0.4x or whatever (the number could increased based on how much more advanced the droid is to the previous one, they don't have to be consequential).

V1.xx would then be a completely new generation, WAY more powerful and advanced than anything starting with V0.xx.

This would make sense, it'd be easy, user-friendly, logical and handy way of knowing the version and the generation at a glance, even with great detail. But what the HECK is "v.X2" even supposed to MEAN?

Have you EVER seen anyone mark their software versions that way ANYWHERE?!

Anything that makes direct contact with any invisible part of Violet also becomes invisible, including her supersuit.
