Suchong - "Tenenbaum - She sometimes not objective " ( said when Tenenbaum was starting to 'lose it' - a short while before she quit and disappeared. )
Suchong was someone who could look at human subjects/patients as if they were lab rats.

::"Suchong "Hero Of Rapture" - Poster Say So ..."
::"Suchong clever."
::"Suchong know what side to back."
::"Suchong sell out Fontaine's "Ace In The Hole" to Ryan."
::"Suchong realize must disappear for while til Fontaine/Atlas become fishfood."
::"Suchong Survivor."
(( Suchong Still Alive in MMORPG ?? ))

Suchong's Curse :
Accosted by a Clumsy Little Sister in the street, he tells her to "Go Suck On A Corpse, Little Brat." ( possibly this was before the 'Protecting' started ).
--- --- ---
When you think about how strange this scene situation all is, and all the other circumstances, it makes you start to think Suchong did 'Fake' his own Death.
-
Suchongs Strange Death :
How exactly was the Big Daddy supposed to be standing to screw Suchong into the table like that ?? ( Death Crime recreation that Sullivan did not do would have brought question to actual manner of Suchong's death. )
So Suchong's death was faked too ??  ( Sullivan found what he was expected to find - Case Closed. ) Strange that the face was so mangles, but the name tag pretty much was taken for the Identity ( and Suchong wasn't heard from that point on ).
SO did Dr. Suchong actually take off into a Tear to Paris ?? ( Unfortunately it was to instead be one of those Time Travel Tears, and he was eaten by VelociRaptors - in that BS Fantasy storyscape ).
Atlas probably had Suchong on his list of "People to Eliminate" (to hide his WYK plan), and Suchong probably realized that and took measures to prevent that fate. 
This probably gave the BaSx gamemakers their idea for that bizarre Fired (projectile) Drill thing ( that wouldn't really work like a grappling hook as they pretend it can ).
The MMORPG will have to come up with Suchong's New Identity ( perhaps he actually was smart enuf to leave Rapture but then came back for the MMORPG ??? )
--- --- ---
Suchong's Revenge - Alternate Alternates :
Suchong doesn't like Fink ( the Infinite BS writers' cartoon cutout 'evil capitalist' ) Stealing stuff from his lab ( BTW, Fink couldn't otherwise have the right materials and tools, let alone the scientific understanding ), and so the good Doctor sets a Trap ...
The final scene is of Jeremiah Fink ( his shaved head and suture scars indicating radical brain surgery procedures having been performed ) being immersed in one of the Big Daddy Yellow goop tanks ( at Point Prometheus ) to start his process path to being Rapture's Newest Big Daddy. Suchong making some dry appropriate comment ... "Even Idiot can Scrape Algae"
Say, Lets not 'sugar coat' the Lobotomization, Kenny ...
--- --- ---
Bio-Fluids (ick) :
Blacklight used by Suchong ... "These Filthy Splicers, Suchong Find Their Bio-Fluid EVERYWHERE !!!!"
Those Crazy Splicer 'doctors' said something like this in the game.
--- --- ---
Suchong's Stash :
"Suchong have Good Opium ..." Suchong's stash of Opium had saved him before ( during the Japanese Occupation ). He may have then always maintained an emergency 'stash' as 'insurance' ( maybe his having access to priority supply shipments from the Surface, long after the 'Closing Off' in 1952 was easy ... as 'Medical Supplies' ).
--- --- ---
Stupid But Amusing Scene in Burial at Sea :
Look carefully ... At the time of his death Suchong was missing the middle finger of his right hand, which was the consequence of having been giving Fink the Finger on their last meeting, when that particular Tear closed on it.
But does that now mean that Suchong is an inter-dimensional quantumized 'god' like Elizabeth, who can now set out to get revenge on Fink for stealing his ideas ?   Suchong would probably revel in his now being a god ( That Big Daddy that shoved the drill through him better look out, as well as those brat kids of the rich people his parents were servants to, when he was a child ).
--- --- ---
BaSx - Reason Suchong's "Tear Machine" was Broken :
He realized that opening 'Tears' could lead to places with VERY BAD THINGS IN THEM, and quickly curtailed that activity ( He wasn't stupid ). What might Suchong have seen that decided the issue ?? :
* Advanced Technology Cat Aliens who ate humans
* Someplace where a Plague had destroyed the population ( seeing bodies laying about unburied, pustules covering them and signs they died in agony ... )
* A brief exposure to something that burned up half the lab (and was fortunately shut down quickly in time before it killed him).
* A performance of a Punk Rock band ( "Suchong Ears Feel Like Fill With SHIT !!!!" ).
* Opening onto a VelociRaptor that looked right at him, hungrily ...
* Another Suchong saying "YOU STUPID. DANGER !! CLOSE DOWN MACHINE AT ONCE ... IDIOT !!!"
* A World populated (populated or populated) by clones of 'Carrot Top' ........................ NOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!
* Trying to go Back in Time to 'get' that Child that tormented him in his childhood in Korea, and some nasty grit 'got into the works' ...
Then this "Stupid Meddlesome Woman" comes along before he has a chance to obliterate the machine and Turns It On Again!!!
--- --- ---
Humor ( Modern 'Comedy' Style ) :
Scene - wherever Suchong did his work conditioning Jack ...
Suchong: Break that sweet puppy's neck.
Little Boy: No... please...
Suchong: Break that puppy's neck — would you kindly...
Little Boy: No... no...  *sound of violently crunching with splatter*
Suchong: !! SHIT !!!!.
Little Boy: Yes Papa Suchong ...............
Suchong: Ewwww !!! Clean Up Mess, NOW !!!
-
Fontaine had "Lot 192" made up ... What would have happened if Suchong had managed to do to Fontaine what was done to Jack ??  Slip a few twenties to Steinman to inject Fontaine with some 'Lot 111' ... Suddenly  "Suchong - Is Puppetmaster of Rapture" ... ( That is, if his inability to maintain detachment in his work hadn't gotten him killed - or was HIS death faked too ??? ).
--- --- ---
Just Like Old Times :
Creepy Dialog - new Audio Diary heard made by Suchong ) relating to : Tenenbaum suggesting their ADAM experiments be done on Twins ( a classic genetic study mechanism to have a valid 'control' sample ). 
The Creepy part would be Tenenbaum mentioning she took part in such 'Twin' methodology when SHE assisted Nazi doctors in a concentration camp. She then says that they are a bit hard to obtain. Suchong comments to himself : 'Suchong have no trouble creating many 'twins' - all twins might possibly need. Easy Peasy." 
( Note - that there might have been many 'Jacks' copied before success in that project done at Fontaine's orders. )
--- --- ---
Suchong's Secret Clinic ( A Manpower Reality ):
Seen in BS1, and then in BaSx.
I don't know what the game writers might know of the Real World, but running such an establishment takes various numerous personnel/staff. Suchong has a busy schedule, and couldn't devote too many hours to manning this one operation. 
So he needs Lackeys, preferably kept in the dark about any nefarious intended use for 'samples' and such.
The work of just cleaning up the place, with all the indigent test subjects about ( "Sell Your Blood for Ryan Dollars" ), That would be more than a little work ( Do remember we ONLY saw it when Rapture's Chaos HAS loosened things up a bit and Suchong appears to be dead for a while already. )
* Sampling specialist/test administrator
* Receptionist/doorkeeper
* Security - 'Poor' Freeloaders ( desperate for free housing ) would require a thuggish-type person to maintain the establishment's decor, and protect all the legitimate people (and valuable things within).
* Temporary specialists ( like people capable of handling Little Sisters and Big Daddies ) ???
* A Cleaner to sweep out the secret passages ( and change lightbulbs - "SUCHONG SCIENTIST!! NOT ONE WHO CHANGE LIGHTBULB !!!" )
Only Clueless people (many game writers) might assume Suchong ran the place all by himself.
Secret Gianourmous Lab ??? Infinite BS contamination was not really required for this.
--- --- ---
SO SOON after Fontaine Futuristics ( Who Suchong Worked For ) Was Taken Over by The City Council ? :
Suchong so suddenly has authority to do this 'Closing' the SilverFin in Fontaine's Mall to investigate a Tear there ( Sounds very strange for non-interference Rapture the gamewriters imply was an issue ). Suchong is a doctor and geneticist and ADAM engineer, not a theoretical Physicist.
And this was WHEN ?? Before Kashmir, before Fontaine is even dead ( the Mall is obviously still 'Open' ( or why would there be a kerfuffle about 'closing' this restaurant ?? ) -- Why would Ryan have Suchong close this place, OR Suchong to have any authority to 'Close' a private business ? (( Remember those writers hammering : NO government or Law in Rapture ?? ))
Scrambled DLC Facts/Details : IF later ( and it is before Kashmir Incident, and Fontaine who did have Mall ownership is dead ), Why would Ryan give Suchong such power so soon ( Ryan has to figure out who he can trust and anyone who worked for Fontaine was suspect. ) 
-
"Closed by Order of Doctor Suchong" ???
Huh ?
Since when did 'Suchong' have any authority to do such a thing. Makes me wonder if most of the writers of this DLC ever played the original 2 RAPTURE BioShock games, as they often do not seem to have a good understanding of the original stories/settings they then mutated and mangled.
Yes, Yes, It IS DLC, which ARE known to often be quickly-thrown-together crap.
-
Suchong mastering a machine to create and control Tears - That opens an opportunity which Suchong realizes : "Mr Ryan. I think I know way to obtain Children for Slugs ... I Show You." ( NOTE - Alternate Weirdness - Not OUR Rapture where there weren't enough Sea_Slugs )
Also : "Suchong NOW have way out when needed - This Good for Suchong."
--- --- ---
Suchong - Physiological Genius :
Under the orders of Fontaine, Jack was created by Dr Suchong (and Tenenbaum) from an acquired embryo which contained Ryan's and Jasmine Jolene's DNA. The embryo was subjected to a process of accelerated physical and mental growth and training for two years. At that point, a fully adult-formed Jack was sent to The Surface.
This is quite an advanced process. Artificial Wombs are not even done Today ( something like 10 years off ). Neither is such physical growth acceleration, nor the even more difficult 'sped up' mental development. 
--- --- --- 
Audio Diary : "Plasmids_are_the_Paint" :
Suchong, Medical Pavilion : ""Tenenbaum ... Sometimes I pity the little freak. Such a tiny imagination ... Content to sit there with her tanks of ADAM, tweaking and optimizing. I need to create ... ADAM is a canvas of genetic modification ... but Plasmids are the paint.""
Suchong was much involved in the Modification of Humans by using ADAM-based Plasmids, which was different from the Medical Therapies which were the earliest ADAM uses. This would be a more difficult task where additional DNA/RNA would be put into the subject to make changes to do things the Human Body previously was not capable of.
--- --- ---
Suchong and Tenenbaum (The Atrocity Twins) :
Creepy Dialog ( new Audio Diary heard from Suchong ) relating a scene Tenenbaum suggesting their ADAM experiments be done on Twins ( a classic genetic study mechanism to have a valid 'control' sample ). Creepy part is : Tenenbaum mentioning she took part in such 'twin' experiment use when she assisted Nazi doctors in a concentration camp. 
"Suchong Know THIS KIND - Even Suchong be creeped out by this woman ..." ( Suchong peripherally might have been connected to the Japanese Experiments - Unit_731 https://unit731.org/ )
Tenenbaum then mentions that twins are a bit hard to obtain ( not that many in tghe ~20000 population ). Suchong comments to himself : 'Suchong have no trouble creating many 'twins' - all twins possibly need. Easy Peasy."One thinks that Suchong, if he had stayed on the Surface, might have been employable in the Post-War Nazi project of Cloning Hitler ...
-
Dream Sequence - Suchong Clones himself - It doesn't go well ...
--- --- ---
I POSIT that : It is quite possible that Suchong "Faked His Own Death" also. Seeing this Infinite BS scene it 'came to mind' that : Suchong ( knowing that Fontaine/Atlas thought Suchong "Knew Too Much" would have him killed ) coulda 'scooped up' a corpse through a Tear from Columbia ( during his dealings with Fink ) and then Created his own Deathscene - use a spare Big Daddy Drill, dress up the corpse in a smock, obliterate the face, and add lotsa blood, AND record an appropriate Audio Diary account of his 'unfortunate demise' --- and THEN head for his earlier prepared bolthole to wait out what he figured was coming.
