A/N: These are a series of short stories based on Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba's Umbrella Academy. The stories feature the seven heroes in the comic, as well as ones myself and ExtremeXShinyXHeartagram created. In this fanfiction, each superhero is a WWE wrestler [although in the story they're not actually working for WWE, but they will wrestle at points and have the personalities of the scripted characters]. Hopefully this makes sense...Enjoy :D
...P.S. Unless you watch wrestling you probably won't get any of the humour. Just thought I'd warn you...
The Background
43 extraordinary children were born to 43 unsuspecting mothers. Many of them died, but a space alien disguised as a human [by the name of Sir Reginald Hargreeves], found seven of them and raised them. As they grew up he helped nurture their powers.
Our story
Hargreeves is dead, and many more of the 43 children are now emerging from the shadows, their powers ready to be used to save the world; or to destroy it.
Enter heroes.
Spaceboy. a.k.a Jack Swagger.
Super strong with a gorilla's body [transplanted after a failed mission to Mars]. He may be strong but is overtly dim-witted, egocentric, and is incapable of dressing himself without help. Bless.
The Kraken. a.k.a Edge
He can hold his breath indefinitely and is very good at detective work. He despises Spaceboy and is usually quite hostile towards most members of the Academy. His best friend is The Kinesis.
The Rumour. a.k.a Melina
Everything she says becomes truth. She has an average human daughter and is divorced. Out of the Academy members, she is the most in touch with her human side.
The Séance. a.k.a Kizarny
Able to contact the dead, he is morbid and dry-witted. He likes black and funerals.
Number Five. a.k.a Chris Jericho
The most intelligent of the bunch and has the ability to time travel.
The Horror. a.k.a Kane
He had the ability to release monsters underneath his skin, but allegedly died a long time ago. The causes have not yet been revealed.
Vanya. a.k.a Lita
Seemingly powerless with low self-esteem. She once came close to destroying the world, only to have her plans flawed. She has recovered from her injuries gained from the incident, and has no recollection of anything that happened. She has a hidden capability to destroy the world; but no-one intends on reminding her of that.
The Cobweb. a.k.a Rey Mysterio
One of the two wholly good natured souls in the Academy, he is the real Spiderman.
The Springheel. a.k.a Evan Bourne
The other wholly good natured soul in the Academy, he has the ability to jump great heights and distances in a single leap.
The Chaos. a.k.a Rachel
The Chaos has intensive moodswings a lot, which proves difficult when her power surrounds the elements. The centre of her problems; The Reflection, and damn what a problem he is. She's rather hot-headed and insecure proving to be no help for elemental powers. [written by The Chaos herself ;D ]
The Reflection. a.k.a Jeff Hardy
Can walk into a mirror and appear out of any other mirror in the world. He keeps the events of his childhood a secret from the rest of the Academy, as well as the knowledge of the existence of his evil twin brother who works with the villains.
The Kinesis. a.k.a Christian/Jay
Beholding the power of telekinesis, he is a dry-witted practical joker. He is best friends with The Kraken and loves The Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie. a.k.a Rosei
Able to influence the emotions of any living organism, she can turn destructive world-threatening rival world leaders into caring friends. But that's boring. She prefers to use her power to cause conflict amongst the other Academy members for a laugh. A flirtatious joker like The Kinesis, she has had a long-standing secret crush on Number Five.
Enter villains.
Genius a.k.a Santino Marella
The one in charge of all the villains, he is seen as a criminal mastermind. In fact, he has no powers and the IQ of a pencil sharpener- but the only person who knows this is The Warrior, who is sworn to secrecy. The Warrior comes up with the plans, and The Genius takes the credit.
The Warrior a.k.a Triple H
He did something terrible years ago which only The Genius knows about. The second-in-command, The Warrior supplies clever ideas to The Genius, whom takes the credit. If The Warrior ever reveals the truth about The Genius being useless, The Genius will reveal the truth of what The Warrior did- which will tarnish The Warrior's reputation forever and may even get him killed. The Warrior is exceptional in battle.
The Zap a.k.a Maryse
She has the ability to influence electrical appliances and can electrocute her victims. Her favourite use of her power is shooting lightning bolts from her fingers.
The Undertaker a.k.a ...The Undertaker
Whereas The Séance communicates with the dead, The Undertaker has the ability to actually raise them.
The Flame a.k.a Natalya
A pyromaniac, she can breathe fire and produce it from her hands.
The Golem a.k.a Randy Orton
Has the ability to create an army of Golems from stone and clay.
The Crystal and The Ball a.k.a The Miz and John Morrison
Both have the power to see into the future and when required, can merge into one giant body with two heads to become super strong and very good at conducting espionage work. They are friends but are always trying to outdo each other, particularly when it comes to flirting with the ladies.
The Choke a.k.a Big Show
He can breathe clouds of toxic gas.
The Octopus a.k.a Beth Phoenix
She can transform into a super strong giant octopus. Think of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.
The Reflection a.k.a Matt Hardy
The evil twin brother of Jeff, he has the ability to walk into a mirror and emerge from any other mirror in the world. The villains have no knowledge of the existence of Jeff.
The Banshee a.k.a Jillian
Self explanatory don't you think?
The Piper a.k.a Jamie Noble
Looking like a rat, he can summon an army of killer rats from the sewers and make them do what he wants. Like the Pied Piper; except he doesn't need a pipe.
Now you know the characters, onto the stories...
Some of them will be funny. Some of them will be serious. Some of them you will find disturbing [Crystals Balls- story no.2- disturbs me and I wrote it...]. Some of them you might like. Some of them will be mysterious. Some of them will be just light, fun action. Going to try and equate for all tastes when more of these are written.
