Tao (comics)

T.A.O. is a fictional character in the Wildstorm universe.

Fictional character biography

The Tactical Augmented Organism was created by Optigen, a subsidiary of the Halo Corporation, on behalf of International Operations. As a child, he grew at an amazing rate. The scientists working on him thought that he was imprisoned in his test tube, but at nights he would sneak out and use the lab's computers to learn more about the world outside.

When Savant and Mister Majestic were reforming the WildC.A.Ts, Savant read the files on TAO. The scientist of Optigen was unwilling to let TAO go until TAO handed him a note with several numbers on it. The scientist immediately agreed to release TAO. When asked what the numbers meant, TAO explained to his new teammates that the top one was the phone number of the scientist's wife, the other four were the phone numbers of the scientist's mistresses. Despite seemingly having no superhuman powers, TAO's intelligence and manipulative nature appeared to be quite an asset to the new WildC.A.Ts. He manipulated Mister Majestic into agreeing to recruit the murderous cyborg Ladytron.

Tao (album)

Tao is an RIAA Gold-certified album by Rock singer Rick Springfield. It was released in 1985 on RCA Records. It was belatedly released on CD in 1990.

Track listing

All songs written by Rick Springfield, except where noted.

  • "Dance This World Away"
  • "Celebrate Youth"
  • "State of the Heart" (Eric McCusker, Tim Pierce, Rick Springfield)
  • "Written in Rock"
  • "The Power of Love"
  • "Walking on the Edge"

  • "The Tao of Heaven"
  • "Stranger in the House"
  • "My Father's Chair"
  • Production

    With Tao, Springfield decided to experiment with new wave and synthrock. Springfield noted in a 2012 interview, "Tao had a lot of European influences and I perhaps went a little bit too far in that direction. The production was more European orientated, with the massive synths and that stuff actually did it really well in Europe, especially in Germany, 'Celebrate Youth' was a hit." Springfield considers Tao to be his finest album to date. "We just had a lot of new ideas. It is probably the one I experimented on the most. Whatever I thought of we tried it. It was just when sampling was just starting, we got really into the drum sampling. But we started on just a DMX. A little DMX drum machine, all the original drum tracks were laid down on that, and then we triggered other drum samples from that. It was built up track by track. That is still my favorite album." Springfield recalls, "I had stopped listening to American rock by 1984. In fact, I was getting increasingly interested in what was going on in other types of music, especially with artists who were English."

    Say you learned, I truly doubt it
    I guess you got a problem with affection, kinda loose with the love
    Gettin freaky with the thug niggaz up in the club
    Ask to buy you a drink, you holla Dom Perignon
    Knowin I'm a cash getter still I, remain calm
    Let you chill with me; plus you was smilin 'til the bill miss me
    That's what you get for tryin to dick me
    Missed me with that "Buy me this, buy me that" syndrome shit
    Bitch get a job if you wanna be rich
    Gettin mad cause I cursed and I scream I hate'cha
    Introduced you to a nigga nature, feel me?
    [Chorus: Lil' Mo]
    Kissed the girls, made them cry
    Thuggin life, and gettin high
    Why you gangsta, all the time?
    That's a thug's nature
    Though sometimes, I can deal with it
    I realize, that I'm feelin it
    It's a love and hate relationship
    but that's a thug's nature
    [add to line four of Chorus first time:] "That's a nigga nature"
    [2Pac]
    I'm probably too nice at first, I let you kiss me where it hurts
    Me and you gettin busy, slingin dick in the dirt
    Met you at a pool party it was cool to kick it
    See us, tounge-kissin, you was truly with it
    Little ecstacy, Hennesey, mix with me
    Picture me pay for pussy when the dick's for free
    Hey now, where my niggaz at? Tell these hoes
    Before I pay; I jerk off, word to Moses
    Visions of you sittin there sweaty and wet
    Pointin to the places that you want me to hit
    Give me room all up in the womb, call the cops
    Nigga, hittin walls 'til them bastard drop
    Label me Makaveli - thug nigga with bite
    Livin life like a rock star's Friday night
    Make money, get pussy, always keep a pager
    Cell phone in the ride to complete my nature now!
    [Chorus]
    [2Pac]
    Haha.. started as a seed from the semen; straight outta papa's nuts
    Lustin for creamin - bitches with big butts
    Curves make a nigga cry, tits and shit
    When I'm locked down beggin you for porno flicks
    Sneak weed in, help a nigga pass the time
    Put my name tattoo'd so that ass is mine
    Tell everybody; 'Pac put it down for good
    A local legend through the whole hood, follow me
    I got a gun on me, goin for none on the run baby
    You know a nigga need some, is my son crazy?
    Why I cry, when I be thuggin til I die
    Picture a nigga in heaven, high off weed I fly
    Got me missin dead homies wishin phonies would die
    Hit the weed and hope it get me high; dear God
    Understand my ways, livin major
    Blessed with a thug's heart.. and a real live nigga nature
