The Birth of a Juke Box Hero pt. 6
To HyperCaz: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like Kid Razor. A lot of things inspired me to create the character, and I put plenty of classic rock references in the story.
Last time on Birth of a Juke Box Hero: Kid Razor was getting swamped by the Enchantress, Dr. Klaw, Doc Ock, Sabertooth, and the Juggernaut when help arrived in the form of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the X-Men. Razor helped the X-Men deal with Juggernaut by using his greatest weapon, his rapidly-becoming-notorious big mouth. He was about to help the Avengers deal with the Enchantress, when she prepared a magical strike to fry the Ultimate Rockstar. His fate is next!

"Die, musician!" The Enchantress fired the bolt, making a sound like a shotgun blast. As the magical attack raced toward the Avengers, Razor only smirked. He took off his guitar and gripped it by the neck, holding it like a baseball bat. "Huh?"
"Batter up, be-yotch!" Razor swung the guitar. The head impacted the magical blast with a POW!!! The blast was sent flying back to the Enchantress! It exploded at her feet, sending her flying up in the air. "Roger Clemens, eat yer heart out!"
"Now, Avengers!" Captain America ordered.
"Here's repulsor in your eye!" Iron Man fired his hand repulsor blaster. Warbird followed with a blast of solar energy, Thor with a thunderbolt, and Scarlet Witch added a couple hex-bolts for good measure.
{I got an idea………} Razor smirked as he plucked his guitar. {If I can manipulate the Power of Rock………} Razor made the head of his guitar glow with bright rainbow energy. "Yes!"
"What are you doing, small fry?" Jen asked Razor.
"When I give the signal, leap up and kick her into the air again!" Razor ordered.
"Are you nuts?"
"Trust me, babe." Razor smirked.
"Alright………" Jen shrugged.
"AAAAHHH!!!!" The Enchantress screamed as the combined blast hit her and sent her crashing down to the ground.
"NOW!!" Razor yelled. Jen leapt up and smacked the Enchantress in mid-air with an axe kick. The kick sent her flying upwards. Razor plucked his guitar, surrounding his body with a rainbow aura. He leapt up, and took to the air. Razor raised his guitar head over his head like a hammer.
"What is he doing?" Warbird asked Cap.
"What?" Amora asked.
"VAN………HALEN………HAMMER!!!!" Razor brought the energy-charged guitar head down on Amora's stomach like a hammer. The energy exploded like a bomb.
"AHHHHHH!!!!" Amora screamed as she was sent plummeting to the ground like a rock. She slammed into the floor with a BOOM!!!!
"Ooooooh that's gotta hurt!" Razor quipped.
"Oh God, I could hear her spine break in two all the way here." Fingers retched.
"I think it broke in six!" Wendy's face paled.
"Nice workin' with ya, Avengers!" Razor saluted from the air with a grin and a flash of the "Rock On!" sign. "My debut performance is far from over! I'm makin' like the Scorpions and rockin' this town like a HURRICANE, BABY!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!!" Kid Razor laughed happily, shooting the female Avengers a wink each. "I know you ladies really want me as part of your team." Razor happily hovered over the fallen Enchantress.
"My spine………" Amora moaned.
"What is that kid on?" Warbird shook her head.
"Whatever it is, I want some!" Iron Man chuckled. Wanda and Cap looked at Razor.
"I know there was a pun in the last thing Kid Razor just said, but I can't put my finger on it." Scarlet Witch said.
"Not a Scorpions fan are ya, babe?" Razor shook his head sadly, crossing his arms. "Don't matter. I see you as more of a Fleetwood Mac fan." He looked at Jen. "Def Leppard's your cup of tea." He turned to Warbird. "Hmm. I definitely can see you at a Styx concert."
"Now how'd he know I like Styx?" Warbird scratched her head.
"It's true!" Jen sighed. "I keep a cassette of Pyromania in my car."
"You act like you're ashamed. Everybody and their mother has a copy of Pyromania!" Razor laughed. He suddenly dodged a stray sound blast. "HEY!! WHO THREW THAT?!?!" He looked in the direction the blast came from. It was from the Fantastic Four battling Dr. Klaw. "Oh, the walking noisemaker wants to play, huh?" Razor brushed some of the long blond lion's mane he called hair away from his face. "Alright then, loudmouth. Let's play. Sorry I can't stay and party with ya girls, but the Kid of Rock has another show to play in his first world tour! WHOO!" Razor flew up and raced towards Klaw.
"The kid thinks he's a rock musician. I think Cleveland's in trouble." Cap shook his head.
"I think he's hilarious!" Thor laughed. "What is a 'world tour'?"
"Hey Janet, maybe we should ask Kid Razor to join the Avengers." Jennifer laughed.
"Wild rockers and the Mansion don't mix, Jennifer." Wasp told Jen. Iron Man had put his hand on the side of his helmet, shaking his armored head in disbelief.
"It can't be!" Iron Man said.
"What is it, Tony?" Wasp asked Iron Man.
"I did a scan of Kid Razor's guitar. According to scans, it's an ordinary guitar. Just wood and strings. A guitar should not be able to gather energy like that."
"We'll talk to Reed about it afterwards." Cap replied.
"I think Razor's powers are not due to mutation." Wanda put a red-gloved finger on her lip. "I think his powers are magical in nature."
"Well of course it's magic, ma'am. Ever heard the Cars song?" Ronnie appeared in front of the Avengers, making their jaws drop. A CLANG was heard from Iron Man's helmet. Ronnie smirked. "Yeah, the X-Men reacted the same way." Meanwhile, the FF were facing Klaw. He had the foursome pinned under Sue Richards' invisible dome. He was incessantly pounding on the dome with sound waves.
"Reed………I can't hold it up much longer." Sue moaned under the strain.
"Allow me, babe." Razor plucked his guitar, firing an energy beam from the guitar's head at the field. The energy spread over the dome, reinforcing it. "That should put a few more pyrotechnics in the old rock show!"
"Does anyone understand what that knucklehead is saying?" Thing asked, pointing a rocky thumb at Razor. Razor looked down at the FF.
"Man, you FF are nothin' but hype!" Razor laughed good-naturedly. "Sheesh, you New York heroes aren't as tough as you look!"
"Watch it, bigmouth!" Thing snapped.
"I guess I'm gonna have to show the four of ya how a Cleveland native does it." Razor shrugged.
"You again?" Klaw fired a sound burst at Razor, which he easily dodged. "Man, do you ever quit?"
"I am as unstoppable as you are ugly, Klaw." Razor smirked, landing between Klaw and the FF. "And now it's time for the Kid of Rock to welcome you to a very special club. It's easy to get membership there. Dr. Klaw, I'm gonna make you a member of the I-Just-Got-My-Ass-Kicked-By-Kid-Razor-Club!! Whoo!!" Razor leapt up and nailed Klaw with a left cross. Klaw quickly recovered.
{This arrogant whelp's raw strength is nowhere near that of Grimm.} Klaw mused. {He appears to only have average human strength. His agility is a concern. He seems to be able to move and react much faster than the average person. If I am not careful, he could easily disable me.} Klaw fired his satellite dish arm. "I got a song request for you, rocker. Die, Kid Razor!!!" Klaw fired blast after blast, but Razor nimbly dodged and ducked using flips, cartwheels and somersaults.
"Sorry Klaw, don't know that song." Razor quipped. Torch burst out laughing.
"Man, this kid is funny!" Johnny Storm laughed.
"Hey Razor!! Let us outta here!!" Thing snapped. Razor had Klaw monkey flipped into a wall.
"Oh fine, ya walking orange mountain." Razor groaned. "Whine, whine, whine." He snapped his fingers, and the forcefield disappeared. The FF got up.
"Razor, look out!" Sue yelled. Klaw jumped to his feet and fired another sound burst.
"I don't think so, Klaw!" Razor played a quick solo. "Right back at ya!" A forcefield formed around his body. The sound blast bounced off Razor's field right back at him!!
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Klaw screamed, shielding himself from the intense wave of sonic energy.
"It's clobberin' time!" The Thing charged in, hitting Klaw with a rocky left hook. The villain tried to fire another soundwave, but Mr. Fantastic wrapped himself around Klaw's satellite dish arm, preventing the soundwave from escaping. Human Torch blasted Klaw in the face with a fireball. Reed quickly unwound himself and got out of there, because Sue was about to trap Klaw in a force bubble. However, Razor had other plans.
"I got this, babe." Razor smirked. He put his foot on a fallen Klaw's chest. He took off his guitar, and held it by the neck like a golf club. The head of the guitar was next to Klaw's head. Klaw looked up weakly.
"What?" He wondered weakly. Razor raised the guitar in a way that would do Tiger Woods proud.
"FORE!!!!" Razor smacked Klaw's head with the guitar like a golfer hits a golf ball, knocking him unconscious. The sound of the impact sounded like someone punched the guitar's strings. "And it's a hole in one! El Kabong, eat yer heart out!"
"Oh, that's gotta hurt!" Johnny Storm cringed.
"I've never seen anyone use a guitar like that." Thing chuckled. Sue held her aching head.
"Are you alright, Sue?" Reed asked his wife.
"Yes, just have a bit of a headache." She replied. Razor looked at the couple and shook his head sadly.
"I still can't believe that a total babe like the Invisible Woman would marry a complete nerd like Reed Richards. All he needs is goofy glasses, a dumb laugh, and a pocket protector!" He heard a yell and looked over the ledge. He saw Spidey and Wolverine tag-team against Doc Ock and Sabertooth. "Looks like the Kid of Rock's work is not quite done." Razor sighed.
Razor's not quite done rockin' yet! Can Razor face Sabertooth and Doc Ock? And what about Xantor? Who is he? What is he? And can Razor beat him? Find out on the next chapter of Birth of a Juke Box Hero!!!
