Birth of a Juke Box Hero pt. 9

Review Responses:

To Aaron: Thanks for reading and reviewing! I hope you continue to read this story! I personally thought of Razor as Marvel's answer to Shawn Michaels, my favorite wrestler. However, I can see the Ric Flair connection. Ric is the man, as he always says. WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do have some ideas for villains, and one of them is classical-based.

To Dylan Wiles: Glad you like Kid Razor! Reviews make me happy, and I do agree with you when you say the world is over-due for a rock hero. BTW, I did read KID. Fantastic! I never read the Rawhide Kid comics before. If you would like to do a story with Kid Razor, go ahead. Marvel is desperate for a rock 'n' roll superhero. The closest they had was Dazzler, and she was DISCO!!! You wanna know where the idea for Razor came from? Let's just say I've seen too many 80s rock videos.

To HyperCaz: I try not to be tedious with my work. When will Razor be found out? Well, Razor does not plan on revealing his identity to anyone anytime soon, but let's just say someone might figure it out...and it's not Jubilee. As for Razor's weaknesses, well...Razor's biggest weakness is his lack of superhuman strength, and the fact that his invulnerability is useless against blades, beams, and bullets.

To Red Witch: Razor's glad to know your dad's a Browns fan. BTW, I'd love to see your take on the Kid of Rock.

Previously on Birth of a Juke Box Hero: The battle with Xantor has begun. While Marvel's greatest try to keep the demon from destroying the planet, Alex, Tommy, and Fingers were acting like hams, desperate to use the media to promote their future performance. As Jubilee and Wendy watch on in worry for their crushes, Rip stews in jealousy towards the Human Torch. Anyway, let the story continue!

A crowd was starting to gather around the Cleveland Mall. It was a huge crowd, a varied batch, from punk-rock fans to classical aficionados, young and old, all kinds of people had gathered and murmured.

"Did you see Kid Razor? He's incredible!" A businessman said to a teen girl with spiky red hair.

"I've seen him on TV." She replied. "He sounds real hot."

"They say he's a mutant." One person chattered. "But no one knows for sure."

"I heard he shot J.R." Another person said.

"That Razor has no fashion sense!" A woman said. "Doesn't he know the 80s are over?"

"What's up with the guitar?" Another person wondered.

"I heard he can beat up 100 guys at once." A kid said.

"I heard he can get any girl he wants." Another kid said.

"I heard he's Spider-Man's cousin."

"Oh please! I heard he's a long-lost son of Captain America."

"Would Cap approve of his kid being a rockstar?"

"I heard he banged every chick in the Avengers, and the Invisible Woman!" A man laughed. "Lucky son-of-a-gun!" The Firecrackers and Jubilee overheard this.

"Where do these people get this stuff?" Tommy scratched his head.

"They probably just want attention." Alex replied. He heard another person.

"I heard that he's the Hulk's little brother!"

"You idiot! If he was related to the Hulk, he'd have green skin! Like that She-Hulk babe!" A teen boy yelled.

"I wonder, have any of you seen Bobby?" Wendy asked.

"You mean your other friend?" Jubilee asked.

"I haven't seen him all day." Rip put his chin in his hand. "Something's up." The people noticed the explosions and noise of battle coming from the mall. "I hope Bobby's alright, wherever he is." If Rip only knew.

"YIPE!!!" Razor dodged a tail swipe from Xantor. The huge demon, however, was distracted by all the flying targets. He was getting buzzed by all the flying heroes, and it was driving him crazy.

"You insects are beginning to ANNOY me!" Xantor hollered as he swatted at Storm and tried to down the Human Torch.

"What's this guy's hide made from? Adamantium?" Torch grumbled. His fiery attacks couldn't burn the demon.

"It's CLOBBERIN' TIME!!!" Thing jumped into the air and nailed Xantor with a hard right hook.

"You think that hurt me, Rocky One?" Xantor slapped Thing. Benjamin Grimm was knocked to the floor.

"Sheesh, and I thought the Hulk hit hard." Benjamin groaned, holding his jaw.

"AHHHHH!!!!" Xantor screamed in pain. He turned to his tail. Kid Razor had poked the demon's tail with his energy-charged guitar's head. The Kid of Rock smirked.

"Hey Xantor, forget about the rest and come tango with the best! WHOO!!!" Razor mocked. He noticed that Xantor's teeth were still gritted.

"The strange magic that Razor uses really hurts Xantor." Storm noticed.

"He must REALLY hate rock." Johnny quipped.

"You can't handle it, can ya?" Razor grinned evilly. "Yeah, that's what I thought. This power's real toxic to you. It's like throwing that fire clown up there in an ocean." Razor pointed at Torch as he spoke.

"Watch it!" Torch snapped.

"Evidently Razor holds himself in high regard." Storm noticed. "His ego is his greatest weakness."

"Man, and people say I'm cocky." Torch snickered.

"Eat repulsor!" Iron Man fired a blast at Xantor. "GAAAHHHHH!" The Armored Avenger was knocked into a wall. Xantor had thrown Rogue at him.

"Sorry, Sugah." She helped Iron Man up.

"Lookit all the pretty birdies..." Tony Stark held his head, counting all the little Iron Men flying around it.

"WHOOOAOAOAAAAA!!!" Xantor was using Mr. Fantastic like a Stretch Armstrong figure.

"You are a mere toy to me, Mr. Fantastic!" Xantor laughed. The other heroes tried to fight on.

"Man, he just won't fall!" She-Hulk grumbled as she, Beast, and Warbird tried to push down the demon. Xantor kicked them off.

"Thou shalt pay for your disrespect, demon!" Thor twirled his hammer, ready to deliver a thunder-charged blow to Xantor's head. Xantor smirked.

"Are all gods as stupid as you?" Xantor took out Thor with an eye blast. Jean Grey levitated behind Xantor.

"Your body may be powerful, let's test your mind." Jean attempted to attack Xantor's mind. She got the same treatment as Thor.

"My mind is as impregnable as my body!" Xantor snapped.

"Aww, too bad. I was hoping we'd have kids." Spider-Man chuckled as he swung towards the black demon. Also riding the webbing line was Wolverine, claws out.

"Just get me close to him so I can shish kabob him!" Logan snapped.

"Testy, testy." Spidey sighed. Xantor smirked.

"Pathetic. You think webs can stop me?" He knocked Logan off the line, and grabbed Spidey.

"Spider-Man!" Captain America shouted.

"Oh no!" Wanda and Wasp recoiled.

"Aw, no!" Razor grumbled.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Spidey screamed. Xantor had the webhead in a bearhug, and he was attempting to crush the webbed wonder.

"After you, I shall kill the flag man. And then the clawed one." Xantor smirked at Razor.

"Take out Nerd Boy with the visor first, then I'll care!" Razor snapped, pointing at Cyclops.

"Hey!" Cyclops snapped.

"Help me!" Spidey yelled. Razor blasted Xantor's arms with a guitar beam. Xantor's black skin seemed to boil on contact with the magic musical energy. The demon screamed in pain as he dropped Spidey.

"I got 'im!" Cap caught Spider-Man. Wanda checked on the webhead.

"He'll be alright." The Scarlet Witch told the Star-Spangled Avenger.

"Thank God." Ronnie Rocker appeared. "Razor, you've seen how the Power of Rock hurts him! Blast him!"

"I'm trying!" Razor snapped at the ghost. "I'm trying!" The last part he added under his breath: "For a dead guy, you got a big mouth."

"You creatures are PESTS!" Xantor roared. His roar was so loud, he knocked all the heroes back a few feet.

"Well, I can kiss my hearing goodbye." Thing groaned.

"Indeed." Storm agreed, shaking her head. Wolverine snarled at Xantor. He then smirked. What Wolverine noticed was that Kid Razor was sneaking up behind the demon, guitar at the ready. The super-rocker was planning to either attempt to impale Xantor with his guitar, of give him a blast right to the face.

{I got you now, you Mephisto wannabe} Razor grinned. {Oh, the Kid of Rock has you now}

Looks like the Kid of Rock 'n' Roll has Xantor in his sights! But I wouldn't underestimate that guy if I were him. Can Razor finish Xantor with one fell swoop? Or will this battle be continued? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions welcomed!
