I mean we know for a fact that it's Hunter. We know cloning exists because of Anabelle II, young Hunter has surgical scars along his neck and head, and after the first teaser with YH WWG commented to confirm it was Hunter to remove any confusion.

Also a brain transplant is actually plausible in real life. Especially for someone with the ethics and wealth of Hunter.

Somewhat successful head transplants have been done with monkeys and dogs since the 70s. They were alive and could look around, hear, and eat, although they were paralyzed due to us not having the ability to connect the spinal cord and it's millions of nerve fibers. The immune system of the body attacking the foreign organs of the brain is also an issue.

These problems are however reduced by cloning which has also been accomplished IRL with animals. An identical clone would remove the issue of the immune system and reconnecting the nerves would be far easier as they already line up and are compatible. Gene editing, stem cells or micro surgery would be need for the nerve repair.

The procedure would be extremely expensive which is why Hunter is whoring families out all over the world including his own.

Everything is impossible until it isn't, but as far as I know, there haven't been any doctors or patients willing to attempt a human brain transplant (i.e. full-body transplant) for many reasons: connecting nerves (as you mentioned), connecting blood vessels, possible immune system rejection (even in genetically identical cases), not to mention all the ethical baggage.

Power Vacuum includes some Michael Chrichton-esque science fiction, in that it plays with concepts that sound plausible but may be decades away from realization. So yeah, I'm like 90% sure young Hunter is old Hunter. I was the first one to point out the surgical scars after all. But for now I consider it just a theory, 1) in case I'm wrong, and 2) in case I'm right (to preserve some sense of surprise).

No, it isn't plausible in real life. Connection all the nerve fibers is exactly the problem. At best it isn't completely impossible. Of course it might be plausible in the pornoverse of Power Vacuum. We will see. And we still can't be completely sure about the Annabelle cloning, I think. As far as I know we still cannot rule out completely a rejuvenating curing treatmeant, which Hunter did not kow about. Or Hunter made himself immune to truth drugs. It's improbable, but possible. I mean, it's Hunter...

It isn't plausible..but it IS possible :HideThePain:

I don't think the reason was explicitly stated in the game, but I infer that Hunter gave HGH to Sterling to make him bigger and stronger, thus more physically/sexually attractive to the ladies, which would help Sterling become a "Dio del Sesso". Hunter seemed motivated to ensure that his descendants continue this legacy, and I think he assumed a DDS Sterling would seduce all the women and then share them.

I thought it was mentioned in the trans sterling bad ending, he wanted to transition Sterling against his will, using the extra muscle tissue to rearrange him.

I don't think I ever actually asked, but do you guys think Hunter killed Lucia and Drew in the Starling Force Fem Bad End since Lucia would know shit's fucked the second Sterling disappeared and Drew would be the first to object to Hunter's plan given both her identity and the fact she flips out over something as "minor" as a sleeping drug dart?

Or did they manage to flee the scene, Drew probably already knowing Lucia is her daughter and wanting to keep her safe from her dad, and escaped to Canada?

I forget what part of the story comes first. If Drew already found out she's Lucia's dad, she would probably leave to protect Lucia. Otherwise, Hunter would probably kill them both like in the last bad end.

In the 18 months that Sterling was gone, Hunter conquered the house and the women had his babies. Lucia saw through Hunter's scheme early on, but with Sterling gone she couldn't thwart Hunter by herself so she probably gave up and went home to Canada. (I thought there was a line that mentioned her leaving but I can't seem to find it.)

At a minimum Drew gave advice on hormones, as "Starling" explains to Brenna. I think Drew helped even more, most likely arranging for "Starling" to see the best doctors (including ones Drew used during her own transition).

EDIT: Here's the line about Lucia, right before "Starling" appears:

Yeah but they mention not "seeing her" since then, which might be her trying to flee as much as it might mean her being killed, that's why I was saying she could straight up be dead.

I suppose it can be read either way? But the more I think about, the more it seems like Lucia's alive. Saying she "hasn't been the same since" sounds like they still hear from her occasionally.

I don't think Hunter would need to kill Lucia to accomplish his goals anyway, and if he did kill her, he'd have new problems when Keira starts wondering where her daughter is. He'd have to send fake communications from Lucia to both households, and hope they never talked to each other about her.
