Birth of a Juke Box Hero pt. 14
To Aaron: Well, I'm glad you liked this story! I hope this final chapter does you well, and I hope you find it funny. Yes, I do remember the Maestro from the old WCW. It did inspire me to create a new villain for Kid Razor.
To Red Witch: Here's the very last chapter for you. Hope you like it!
To HyperCaz: I don't think anyone should figure out Razor's identity from the start. I mean, even MJ didn't know Spidey's identity from the start! Yeah, I loved the Mick Jagger bit.
To Wizard1: Of course Razor survived! He's too cool to do otherwise! As for Razor joining any super-teams, I don't think he's eligible for X-Men membership. He'd drive Scotty up the wall! As for the Avengers, I plan to keep Razor solo for a while. So I guess he's stuck with Jubes for a while (Razor: Awwwwwwwww NUTS!!!!!!) As for Tusk and Selene, we'll see.
To Dylan Wiles: Well, I hope to do a few stories with Kid Razor. This is the ending.
Previously on Birth of a Juke Box Hero: Gathering the Power of Rock from the other Marvel Super Heroes and the people of Cleveland, Kid Razor incinerated Xantor in one huge blast from his magical guitar, causing the destruction of the Cleveland Mall in the process. Razor survived the explosion, and emerged from the remains of the mall strutting proudly. What was the aftermath? Find out next!

Kid Razor had grabbed a microphone from the reporter known as Jane Santos. He arched his head back and put the mike to his lips.
"KIIIIIIIIID "ROCK 'N' ROLL" RAZOR IS IN THE HOOOOOOOOOOUSE!!!!! WHOOO!!!!!" Razor crowed, causing the crowd to cheer. "I bet the Avengers never got fanfare like that. The Kid of Rock is here in Cleveland, Ohio, the BEST CITY IN THE WORLD!!!" More cheers from the natives. "I love this town. Anyway, you've all seen the rest of the hero biz..." Razor waved his hand, indicating the Avengers, FF, X-Men, and Spidey. "Now Cleveland, you are looking at the best in the hero biz! The one, the only, the Kid of Rock! Whoo! The single most unstoppable force on Earth, baby! Fightin' for truth, justice, and rock! Whoo! Now these other costumed guys and dolls know they cannot match Kid Razor in cool, everyone!" Razor acted like a pro wrestler. "Because I am the man, I am always in the house, I kick ass and look good doing it! Why? Because I'm Kid Razor, the living embodiment of rock! Like my friend Sammy Hagar says, there's only one way to rock, and that's Razor's way! WHOO!!!" Razor Put down the mike for a second, enjoying the cheers and chants of the crowd.
"RA-ZOR! RA-ZOR! RA-ZOR! RA-ZOR! RA-ZOR!"
"You rule, Razor!"
"We love you, Kid Razor!" A couple girls squealed. Razor ended up catching a pair of pink panties.
"Nice." Razor grinned. He wiped his painted brow with them, then threw them back, causing a massive squeal from the girls. "Aw yeah." He put the mike back to his lips, but he got interrupted by a handcuff-toting Polanski.
"Alright! Party's over, Rocker-boy!" Polanski roared angrily, causing the crowd to boo. "Hey, shut up! I'm doing my job here!" He yelled at the crowd before turning back to Razor. "Your blond rear is under arrest for assaulting an officer, destruction of private property, destruction of public property, and malicious mischief."
"You gonna add noise ordinance violations to that list?" Razor quipped as Polanski approached the rocker. However, the crowd was not happy. A couple burly guys leapt over a railing and tackled the officer. "Thanks, fellas. Anyway, Kid Razor is here and he's here to rock 'n' roll! As sure as AC/DC's from Australia, as sure as Def Leppard KICKS ASS..." The people yelled in agreement. "As sure as THAT man's a hermaphrodite..." Razor pointed at Cyclops with a grin.
"Screw you Razor!" Scott Summers grumbled. Wolverine fell on his back in laughter.
"Make that kid stop! I can't take it!" Logan laughed. "He's too hilarious!"
"Kid Razor will be there to right the wrongs, and help the people of Cleveland live some great lives. The Kid of Rock is the new generation, baby! We've had the other guys for years. I'm new blood, and damn good blood at that!" He grinned at Santos. "Now if you'll excuse the Kid of Rock, babe, I got work to do." He took to the air, in a field of mystical energy. He looked down at the heroes. "By the way, ladies." He looked at the other heroes. "I got Hef's number. Think about it!" He fired a beam from his guitar at the heroes' vehicles. They got covered in logos for classic rock bands. "Now that's style." He took off his glasses and threw them into the crowd. Just before Razor flew off, he noticed one of his heroes, Shawn Michaels, standing in the crowd. Razor pointed at the wrestler, and gave him a "Rock On!" sign, then flew away to the cheers of the crowd. Jubilee ended up catching the glasses. Ronnie Rocker watched from the rubble, alongside another ghost, a former X-Man.
"That Kid Razor is one insane little nutter." Psylocke shook her head.
"Tell me about it. I gotta play sidekick to him." Ronnie groaned. "Hey, wanna see Jimi jam? He and Freddie are playing tonight. George and Warren will be there. And Keith plans to show up as well."
"Alright." The purple-haired telepath grinned. The two ghosts disappeared.

(A McDonalds in Cleveland, a couple hours later)
"Man, Razor rules!" Fingers grinned. He wolfed down some fries. "He wasn't afraid of Sabertooth, and according to Jubey here, he's pretty dangerous." He then looked over at Jubilee. She was sitting with her head on her hands, elbows on the table, silly smile on her face, staring off into space, and sighing. She had Razor's glasses on her head. "You haven't touched your Big Mac. Can I have it?"
"Jubilee...Helloooooooo..." Rip waved his hand in front of the Asian- American mutant's face.
"Jubeyyyy...it's Wendy...Can you hear me?" Wendy snapped her fingers in front of Jubilee's face. "She's in a daze."
"Yo Jubes, how many fingers am I holding up?" Tommy laughed, holding up his middle finger as a joke. "Ow!" Alex slapped him upside the head.
"Idiot." Alex hissed.
"Razor..." Jubilee sighed. Bobby joined his friends.
"Hey guys." Bobby sat down. "What's with Jubilee?"
"Oh, she thinks staring into space will get her noticed by the other guys." Tommy joked. "Ow!" Alex slapped him again.
"She's thinking about Razor." Wendy laughed.
"Aw well, at least I get her Big Mac." Fingers took Jubilee's burger. He was about to bite into it, when Rip took the burger back and placed it back in front of her. "You okay, Bob? You disappeared for a while."
"Well, uh...um..." Bobby struggled to come up with an excuse for his disappearance. "Uh...I was, uh...not...not feeling well, yeah. Not feeling good."
"Okay." Rip shrugged.
"Well, we saw Kid Razor." Fingers whooped. "Man, he was awesome! He called Cyclops a hermaphrodite!" The green-haired keyboardist nearly fell out of his seat laughing.
"Yeah." Bobby smiled. {I think Kid Razor's going to end up driving every other hero and villain on Earth nuts!}

(Skies over Cleveland, 2:00 AM)
Kid Razor flew over the lighted streets and buildings of his hometown. He landed on the roof of a skyscraper. The super-powered rocker looked at the city, and started thinking.
{Man, I love this town. Cleveland, you now have your own superhero. This place is my home, my breeding ground, and my stomping ground. I did a lot of things here. I kicked ass for the first time here, I met my friends here, my first band, everything.} Razor did a lot of remembering. Remembering his first meeting his friends as a kid, the first time he played guitar, forming the Firecrackers in high school. Razor took over Bobby's place in the band, as well as vocals. The Firecrackers performed with a new name: the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers, named for Cleveland's basketball team, and the band won the talent contest. "Huh?" Razor noticed Ronnie appear near him.
"Good job, Razor." Ronnie smiled approvingly. "You kicked ass." Razor smirked.
"Naturally. So you gonna go away?"
"No, I gotta help you out some more." Ronnie sighed. He then had an odd feeling, like they were being watched. "You feel that?" Razor got up and looked around.
"Yeah. Something weird." He shook his head. "Nah. Probably just one of those nighttime vibes."
"Yeah, you're probably right." Ronnie shrugged.

(Unknown Catacombs)
Kid Razor and Ronnie Rocker were in the view of a scrying device, commonly known as a crystal ball. A hand, clad in a long fingerless black glove with red fingernails, stroked the ball.
"Ahhhh, a new mystical energy has been revealed." The voice was feminine. The source was a beautiful woman with long straight black hair. She was clad in a revealing costume. The most obvious feature was a black cape that had a clasp with a trident on it. Her green eyes twinkled with delight, and her red lips formed a gleeful smile. "Such power. He has to be powerful to be able to defeat a demon like Xantor. Hmmm..." The woman sat down on an ornate and sinister-looking throne, her fingers forming a steeple in front of her nose and mouth. "I must have this power for myself. Such power would be wasted in the hands of a child like him." She heard some tortured screams from somewhere nearby. "Ahh, but I have other business to attend to tonight." She got up and looked at the image of Razor in the crystal ball. "Enjoy your time, Kid Razor. Soon, that power will belong to the Black Queen." She left the throne room, and the image of Kid Razor disappeared as the ball became misty.
Uh oh! Looks like our rock 'n' roll hero is in it deep! What'll the Black Queen do to get Razor's power? Will the Rock 'n' Roll Cavaliers become rock stars? Will Jubilee ever get her claws on the Juke Box Hero! Find out soon! This is L1701E, saying thanks for reading!
