Topic: New Hero in BB?
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay

With Lung dead and the Protectorate stalling, it seems that new capes are taking the initiative to dismantle the dragon's domain. I saw the aftermath of one of those earlier today, catching this video of a new cape talking to the Wards and New Wave.
At first glance, I was sure she was a villain, but the Wards were being polite to her. The theme seems to suggest bugs. Does anyone else know anything?

That's a hell of a costume. Nice to have another badass hero around the Bay, we need it with the Teeth.

Bug powers, though? I guess it could work…

I asked around, but none of my contacts knew very much. Someone suggested that her name was Weaver, but that was all they had. Seems a bit weird, but maybe the PRT is angling to recruit her?
liquidsnake, have anything else? Even the smallest scrap might help, here. Did you hear anything other than her talking about the crime scene?

I got nothing, Bagrat. I only stayed long enough to take the video.

If the PRT is trying to recruit her, that would make four new Wards in the last year. Maybe they don't want her to sign on and transfer?
► Eightball (Cape Groupie)

That is definitely not how the PRT works, cloud08.

Wait, if Weaver gets transferred out because we already have so many cute and sexy Wards, wouldn't that mean there was one fewer hero in the city? Wouldn't the PRT want to maximize the number of heroes to fight the Teeth?

Any point you might have made was undercut by being a creep. Take a three-day threadban and think about your poor life choices, Void.

Replied on April 5, 2011:
Wow, that was quick. Yeah, I'm Weaver, a new independent hero. I don't want to say much about my powers yet.

Thanks, Alathea. I was afraid this would turn into another of Void's 'Browbeat is totally a girl!' rants.
EDIT: Hey, it's the woman of the hour!

Weaver, can you tell us anything? It's really exciting to have new heroes, and we would all love to know what you can do!

I appreciate the support, but I just want to confirm that I'm a hero and that I am working to eliminate the ABB now that Lung is gone.

Topic: PRT attempts to take down Butcher XV
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay

Posted on April 8, 2011:
So, if you're like me, you've been scratching your head about the confusing news out of the PRT ENE recently. Lung died of 'complications' when Armsmaster brought him in, which doesn't make a lot of sense for a powerful regenerator, while Quarrel also died and (presumably) transferred her power and consciousness (along with the other Butchers) to an unknown cape.
We now know that the unknown cape was Weaver, a former independent hero that killed Quarrel supposedly on accident. I admit that it was rather jarring to realize that the Bay's newest indy hero was a crazy supervillain the whole time, but she did a good job hiding her powers.
More importantly, the PRT's odd silence was an attempt to appeal to whatever rational shreds were left of the girl's mind before she inevitably went insane, and I applaud the Wards ENE for being willing to talk to the 'hero' in the meantime.
In any case, Weaver went crazy during a meeting with the PRT earlier tonight. They had her foamed for a good bit, but then she unfortunately escaped. It's a damn shame, because I think I speak for all of us in saying that I want that crazy psychopath gone. I don't have much else to add, apart from the fact that New Wave helped with the operation… and that I'm glad I don't live in the Bay. The Teeth were bad enough before their boss got insect powers.

Brocktonite03 Agreed, I've heard people making the argument that 'she's a hero' but literally no one believes that. We already tried the 'hero Butcher' idea, and it failed miserably.
► Meteor (Verified Cape)(Wards ENE)
Replied on April 8, 2011:
Brocktonite03 Seconded! I can tell you from personal experience that the Teeth are some of the craziest murderers around, and their boss is even worse. There's rumors that the Butcher once ATE one of Accord's other capes!
► XxVoid_CowboyxX
Replied on April 8, 2011:
Yeah, but Weaver took down Lung and Oni Lee, right? Doesn't that make her some kind of badass anti-hero or something?
► Onion_Knight
Replied on April 8, 2011:
Void, this isn't some sort of joke or one of your shitty Aleph comics. Butcher was taking down her competition, full stop. Lung and Oni Lee were able to hold themselves against the Empire and Protectorate both for years, so it makes perfect sense that Butcher would go after them first.

I want to give ShadowStalker a shout-out for having the guts to confront Butcher a few nights ago. A Wards patrol ran across Weaver before she went nuts, and Stalker was able to keep her from doing anything crazy.

I should try to get mom on here to tell some of her stories of fighting the Butcher and Teeth when they were first in the Bay. There's a reason they called it the 'bad old days.'

Hopefully they can capture her next time, the Teeth scare me.

How hard is this to understand? You can't get rid of the Teeth without getting rid of the Butcher, and if she really was a hero, Weaver would have taken them down first!
I mean, personally I'm not sure if I would have been convinced, but it would have been a good start.

I'm with Meteor on this one. Also, thanks for keeping up with this thread.

Well, if there was any question about Weaver being a villain, it's been answered. One of my friends who knows someone (don't ask) just sent me this video.
I don't know about you, but Butcher XV scares me far more than Quarrel ever did, and I don't even live in the Bay. My heart goes out to everyone who lives with the immortal, insane biblical plague in their backyard.

Look, all I want to know is how the Butcher managed to stay sane long enough even to talk with the PRT. Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of the other Butchers lasted more than a few days, and yet a week later Weaver is still willing to sit down with the heroes.
Wouldn't a normal Butcher just go into an ABB brothel and take all of the girls back to the Teeth?
► Razorpunk (Verified Cape) (Villain)
Replied on April 9, 2011:
Fuck no, are you stupid? The last three Butchers have been women. Sex crimes are a great way to find out how many bees fit into your lungs. The answer is: 'more than you think!'
Also, Weaver is awesome, just sayin'. Took down the ABB bastards, Fucked up the Nazis, she's doing us gay girls proud!

Still, my point stands — Weaver is sane enough to hold actual conversations with heroes. We have that on tape. What if she doesn't go insane?
► Jouster (Verified Cape)(NYC Wards)
Replied on April 10, 2011:
As someone who has a lot of experience dealing with the Butcher when they came down to New York, I want to add my two cents. Don't hold your breath on Weaver being special, somehow. It's a tragedy that we lost a promising hero to the Butchers' madness, but we hoped that every new Butcher would somehow be less crazy than the last.
It never happened.
► All_Seeing_Eye
Replied on April 10, 2011:
Hooloovoo might have a point, though. If it turns out that Weaver was actually stable despite the voices, then the heroes just threw away an amazingly useful asset because it didn't match their preconceived notions of what a 'hero' should be.
Wait, I can see them doing just that. Silly me.
