"...All Might? Why is Deadpool sitting like that?"
"It's called the seiza position. A Japanese name for some sitting position all asians do when being super formal. Or being punished."
"Is... that why he has a sign around his neck that says 'I have been a bad child. Do not spank me, it will only encourage me. Just ignore me.'?"
"Yes. Yes it is. The only reason he's quiet is that I had to gag him under the mask, too."
"Huh... is... IS THAT ONI LEE'S MASK DANGLING FROM HIS BELT?!"
"Yes. And yes that is part of the reason he's in time out."
Not that it's any help mentally.
I'll NEVER GIVE IN TO THE AUTHORITAH! STICK IT TO THE MAN, MAN!
You're a fucking idiot.
Not my fault that both of us have full access to Schrodinger. They have NOTHING to do with how we interpret either persona. Grey middle ground powers don't get compartmentalized away.That's why you can still use Pocket Room, you just don't abuse it publicly the way I do.
Do you have to explain EVERYTHING like a know it all?!
Normally that's your shtick, so no.
Oh thank God.
I just do it BECAUSE it pisses you off!
I turned and threw an apple at his face. He dodged it ever so slightly before swaying from side to side, bobbing his head up and down like a boxer. All while staying in seiza.
That taunting little sunuva...
No. Be the mature one here, Joe. Don't let him bait you. It's what he wants.
I took a deep breath and sighed before I turned to see Rider putting the bruised apple I threw on his head. Then took a peach from the fruit basket we were keeping in the kitchen area. Then put that on top of the apple. Then a pear. A banana...
Wade. What the fuck...
Don't distract me. I cant move an inch right now.
And you're going along with this why?...
One, I'm letting her have her fun. Even if it's weird as shit. Especially because it's weird as shit. Two, she hasn't realized every time she stacks fruit on she's totally flashing me her tits with her Rider outfit. Three, this is oddly turning me on. Mostly cuz of the tits in face.
What the fuck is actually wrong with you?
I sighed as I turned to the real problem that I was gonna have to deal with.
Namely a certain video going viral that featured a dismembered Oni Lee that was still only up because Wade pretty much used ALL of my current funds to pay some Toybox Tinker to keep it (and his account) online as long as possible. It should have only been enough to give him 10 minutes. But apparently the Tinker liked the video so much that he promised Wade that he'd make sure it was up for 24 hours on the dot. And that he would pay for footage like this in the future.
He did give a disclaimer that it was suspected that Dragon had fingers in the PHO pie, so if that was the case, he'd get three hours of uptime. Max.
Fucking shit this world is going to hell.
The worst part is that I had to buy or rent out ANOTHER warehouse and I didn't get any money until another week. At least Danny was gonna lend a hand in the meantime with his connections.
Still, I supposed I should make another round of hospital visits. And sell some of the unnecessary surplus of weapons that Deadpool had hijacked from E88.
More the latter. There were a LOT of weapons and we needed some emergency cash NOW.

Dude can sing, shoot, teleport, take a beating, USE GUN-KATA, SUMMON shit from NOWHERE, and can just say NO to being SHOT IN THE FUCKING HEAD. Why does ALL the real crazy shit happen in Brockton Bay?!
That and...
HOLY SHIT HE FUCKING DESTROYED ONI LEE!!! Dude, Lung's gonna go on a war path. Everyone buy your dragon insurance!

Well. Uh. I don't know how this video is UP, but I CAN confirm that the Cape known as Oni Lee was reported to have been officially dropped off (still barely alive and being given medical care, although WHY is beyond me) at PRT Headquarters missing his left arm and leg. The limb wounds were cauterized and no official statements have been released. And yes, his eyes were, uh, mutilated. By grenade pins.
For real though, how did this get through the mods? And why is it still up? Tin Mother's pretty good about this sort of thing.

I'm more surprised that @TinMother has been unable to do anything about this thread. Is it Tinker shenanigans? Is OP a Tinker too, or just paying a lot of money for almost no reason?
Well, then again, its a video of Oni Lee getting FUCKED UP, so maybe not a waste of money.

I donno, but he's DEFINATELY got both E88 AND ABB on his ass now. Shit. Things JUST quieted down after the Suicide Panda fiasco. Fuck he gotta do this for?

Look, I was hired to kill that greasy bastard next to Bronie Lee. I sure as hell didn't ask for him to chase me.
PS: If it ain't obvious, don't chase me. Unless you're a babe and wanna get freaky. I'm lookin' at you Purity! 100% Top Kek MILF

Posted on September 10th 2010
Ok, the Bronie Lee part is funny, but srsly stop egging on the gangs with LITERAL superpowers.
Also, I hear that Purity seperated from E88. Or something like a fallout. Either way, yes don't kill Purity. She's hot.
Shit I can't get it out of my head now. Oni Lee sitting in his basement playing with plastic multi-colored pony dolls making neighing sounds. And trying to mimic the voices from the show. Somebody draw a picture of this now, please.

Since the thread seems to be on a superlock, let's just talk theories. I don't think OP is a Brute. I mean. That bullet CLEARLY went through his head. Then he just cuts off Oni Lee's leg? I'm a little scared thinking that maybe he's immortal.
God if that's a not a new cape power...
I can't tell if he has some power similar to Miss Militia though. Those weapons look more real than hers do. That deagle SPARKED when that knife tried stabbing through it. I'm guessing real metal, not that pseudo-energy thing she has goin'
Maybe he's like Circus (small time villain) and has a separate dimension that holds stuff?
Clear teleporting powers though. Seems short range. Still handy. Looks like Oni Lee outranges him though (Not that it matters anymore, eh?). And it makes the mic glitch the few times he used it. Like an odd "BWAMF" noise. Or maybe the mic is glitching. If it DOES make a noise, then that must suck.
Teleport surprise attacks are what MADE Oni Lee so scary...
Actually maybe it's a good thing it makes sound...

I'd pay to see more of this shit.
Terrible villain gets the justice he was deserved and PAINFULLY so. Dude killed my uncle and is a BOOGIE MAN for the innocents of the Asia Town district.
But there's one thing that I find a bit odd. I mean, maybe it's just me being crazy, but he said "I think you'll do. Show them that...I'm here too." and maybe I'm CRAZY, but I just cant help think of All Might. It's not possible because dude CLEARLY doesn't have All Might's SMASH power, because he's using weapons and stuff, but. I think it's the regeneration. Being shot through the head and getting back up.
It feels like a clip from the big All Might thread from the Hospital Attack fiasco about a week ago. I know most people skimmed the healing he did, but there was this ONE clip where a guy was half-dead missing a chunk of his head and All Might just LOST a part of his skull as the man was back to normal. All Might's knees didn't even buckle and he had grown back what was gone and the man he saved was just... crying his eyes out thanking him. It just stuck with me.
I KNOW that this Deadpool guy isn't All Might. But he makes me think of him. Especially because I want to like him too in some twisted way. Most heroes in the end don't do shit and just sit there and watch the status quo. All Might goes out of his way to do the Scion thing and save cats from trees and shit (Dude's made a Twitter recently and people are thanking him left and right. His online presence which is just a feed of randos who pictures of him helping people and that's kind of impressive. Some PRT leak verified that half his money earned from healing people is going to charities for those suffering from gang violence too which is... wow. Thanks man @All_Might. My cousin's not homeless because of you right now.) and is making people smile.
Deadpool actually just DESTROYED a huge villain in a way that people will sleep better at night once they get Oni Lee's tortured screams out of their heads. And, well, blew up a lot of Nazis. Hopefully.
The fact that he's that willing to mutilate people like that is a huge cause for concern though. Doesn't the unwritten rules not allow for that kind of damage?
Maybe, no, it's probably not fair to All Might to compare him to a guy just claiming to me a mercenary, but these two have been the only thing to shake up Brockton Bay for the better in recent months.

Yes, now that I looked over the video again, I CAN see the Regeneration resemblance. While at a bit of a distance, the camera quality is actually rather superb.
I also find your linking All Might and this new Deadpool fellow dreadfully interesting! I feel the topic can be explored more, especially due to whichever Tinker is interfering with the rules of the thread, a little more speculation can be made. I do apologize for the rudeness, kind @TinMother, however you must understand, this is a undertaking for SCIENCE!!!
I am, firstly, quite sure that this Deadpool fellow and All Might are INDEED not the same person, though their general physical shapes are quite similar, it is impossible to be sure through mere footage, so let us leave such ambiguous information aside.
I deduce that they cannot be the same, purely off their powersets. The SOLE thing that could debunk this was if All Might was a Trump (a kind of Trump that differs from my current theory). As we all know, all powers can have a maximum limit of three powers.
Deadpool has an AMAZING regeneration (Brute) that even might be the CURE TO DEATH ITSELF (And so might All Might actually, making this VERY fascinating), a short ranged teleportation, and some sort of quickly and easily accessible pocket dimension. It cannot be weapon creation as he made the bandoleer of grenades disappear and no explosion was heard anywhere in the vicinity.
Considering his obvious attempt at outrunning Oni Lee (the dastard!) it becomes clear that Deadpool's teleportation is very limited in distance, thus again, he cannot be displacing weapons from around him via teleportation. Thus his third power must, once again, be a method of accessing weapons while still being able to put things away in. A pocket dimension fits this criteria to a T. Especially considering we did not hear the sound of explosions when he made the bandoleer of grenades disappear.
All Might is, like Panacea (god bless both their work and service), a Striker that heals. Just that HIS allows him to take wounds from others onto himself. I would believe that then he regenerates the wound taken. That's where his Brute power of regeneration comes in. Super strength, super durability... or so it seems! The original video of his first debut fight has given me some insight. That perhaps All Might's power and durability is a result of his power being used over time rather than initially gained. THAT I believe perhaps All Might shares correlation to Lung SOLELY in the fact that he gains strength over time! And unlike Lung, HIS seems permanent! (as seen by how he blocked Squealer's vehicle with nary a scratch after moving everyone out of the way with AIR PRESSURE FROM CUPPED HANDS ALONE, and yet took MANY stab wounds and injuries and didn't show many actions or attacks that surpassed a VERY capable non-cape combatant) It may be a Breaker, but I believe that perhaps it might even (although unlikely) be categorized as a Trump power that only affects himself! I remain doubtful (but hopeful!) that we might have the best cape to fight Endbringers!
If I am indeed correct, (and please may this be true) time may be all we need for victory.

@GravelBro Firstly, too fucking long bro. Secondly, holy crap. IF that thing about All Might is true, you're not wrong. Still, I AM concerned about how people are linking him with a violent cape like Deadpool.
But tbh? Deadpool VS All Might. I wanna see it. Especially because they're both in BB. IT'S POSSIBLE!!!
I snorted as I kept reading the thread, some more wild speculations, a few more warnings from TinMother (Dragon, if fanon was correct), and some other chatter about the fight Deadpool had with Oni Lee before the thread was finally locked down and deleted.
That Toybox tinker only manged to keep it up for about two hours. Still really good considering that he was going against Dragon. Amazing when you looked at it from that perspective, really.
Oddly, she didn't delete his account. Probably to try and track Wade whenever he used the damn thing. Probably looking at a few dozen private messages requesting services and a few demands of reparations and servitude and leaving an algorithm to wait for a response.
I just tossed the phone (that Wade was using JUST for this account, asshole spent ALL of our current funds AND bought himself eight smartphones, the fucker) and tossed it back into Pocket Room. Can't track what's in an alternate dimension and all that rot.
"Rider? Can I talk to you?" I called into the base's intercom from the workbench in my room. A few blueprints laying before me. "I want to test a theory."
Moments later, Rider appeared (in her red bodysuited glory) and greeted me with a smile. Her helmet was usually off in base, although she still made a habit of wearing her red and white domino mask for the sake of maintaining a proper separation of her Cape and civilian identity.
"What is it, Joe?" She only ever called me that in the privacy of my own room, "You said you wanted to test something?"
I nodded.
Power Hub worked with Tinker powers as well, and Power Sight gave me more insight on Sherrel's power than anything. She wasn't a Tinker focused on JUST cars. Poor girl lived in Brockton Bay and had never even gotten to try sailing a boat.
No.
Her Shard's Hyper-specialist Architect Tinker archetype encompassed ALL vehicles capable of transporting more than it's pilot (if what it needed to transport was mechanical, she could also BUILD the item of transport to some limited extent) outside of the person controlling said vehicle, as well as the ability to drive/transport them (a Thinker power). Aside from small bits of tinkering outside of that spectrum (like setting up a small headset or two) her power was straight up INCAPABLE of anything else. But things INSIDE that spectrum? All of it free game.
Like MECH-SUITS. Like SPACE SHIPS.
Fuck me, I wanted to make a Gundam SO BAD whenever I consciously tapped into her power (not often because WOW that was a big temptation even though there was no way I could afford afford that kind of upkeep).
Still, Rider wanted a method of being combat eeffective instead of being a force multiplier. She had made a BEAST of a motorcycle that had various non-lethal AND lethal guns built in (a vehicle that transported multiple internal weaponry. Her specialty concept was just SO busted because all you had to DO was twist some words) and while she had tried it out at the abandoned airport. However, it didn't do much for protection, which was a HUGE limiter on her mission effectiveness.
Plus she was always limited to larger, open spaces.
Which is, of course, where I came in.
Because if you had a problem in Worm, you dig the hole deeper by going full weeb.
What? Fuck you, it's worked for me so far.
"See, I was thinking. Your Tinker powers MIGHT go beyond just cars. I got a few blueprints here that-"
They were snatched from my hands the moment Rider laid eyes on them.
"This... these are definitely Tinker blueprints, but... space travel? No. It's capable of a gravity-free environment, but it's not built for long distance. Originally this must have been meant to perform repairs and construction in Earth's orbit, but... this derivative is..." she began muttering as she chewed her lip, a bad habit from her Merchant days. I told her, that it was bad for them and that it'd be a shame if she ever hurt herself (because she bites hard enough to draw blood without thinking).
I think she might secretly be taking advantage of the fact that I worry and keep healing them. But honestly, that was probably just paranoia talking.
"Think you could make use of this?"
She hummed at me, only half-hearing my words, likely already in a Tinker trance of sorts.
"I'm gonna need some time. And the Auto-Forge. When can we have it back online? This... this is going to take a LOT of time and elbow grease."
"I'll have it ready later today. I sent a message to Danny to lend me one of the warehouses in disrepair that's clean enough to work in. You can send all the blueprints of parts you want made to me in the meantime. I'll make sure to check the dropbox every two hours or so."
"Good, good. I've been so busy building that I've already gotten two of the PRT orders assembled and ready for delivery. Dragon's Auto-Forge saves us so much time that I can actually work on the first prototype of this while still making sure to fulfill our promise to the city. This is... where did you get this? This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted for hero work, but... I didn't even think that my Tinker powers could go this route." Rider's eyes didn't leave the blueprints, like drinking the sight in and trying to memorize via osmosis.
I chuckled.
There's no way she'd understand if I explained to her that I got it from a harem anime. Especially if I tried explaining Infinite Stratos, which ended up shoving it's head up its own ass and stopped being interesting about 7 to 8 books into the story.
Sherrel had been struggling to find a way to make a power-suit with her Tinker powers for a while, with minimal success. So I dug into my anime knowledge for a vehicle that would be able to act in such a manner.
IS's were apparently originally designed as space-use pilot-able exoskeletons. Or so the anime stated. They had some vague blueprint designs that they added in a few books just to make the suits seem cooler. Which worked, because I can still sketch out the basic design of the Schwarzer Regen (Black Rain in German, more to rub in the E88's faces when she beat it into their faces. Also, another weird thing to note, I could actually sketch things pretty well when I had tinker powers, but lost that ability immediately when I got out of range.) and although it wasn't a perfect translation into Tinker design, the general structure was a good enough base for what I put together with my limited understanding of Sherrel's power.
Sure, I couldn't figure out a way around the power issue, PIC, or it's computing power, but I left that open for her to fill in. All because Power Hub didn't give me any more than a quarter of her effective Tinker power, the best I could do was give her a basic structure to work with.
I still wanted to build a Gundam with it though.
I'll power it with my Negentropy if I have to.
"Ah, it's something half-assed. Not much I can really do when I'm not really a Tinker-"
"You made this?!" Sherrel's face shot forwards, almost meeting my forehead, and making me step back in surprise.
"There's shielding and sensors that I can barely understand! It's design shows that it's missing a big component to deal with inertia and lacking a method of power, but this is way more than what modern science can-"
"Sherrel. Deep breaths. And, uh, you kinda have my back against the wall here."
She blushed, almost leaping back, as she hid her face with the blueprints.
"Sorry!"
I scratched my head.
"Uhmmm. Ok. One of my powers is... well, I barely understand how it works, but sometimes if I'm near people, I can kind of piggyback off their power. Nowhere NEAR how strong theirs is, but from my guesswork, everyone's compatibility with a power is a little different. Around you I still have the same limitations, but my adaptation of your power likes it when things are space-y. When I tap deep into it all I can think about is making spaceships and the like. From what I can tell, you don't have a limit to the KIND of vehicle for the most part. Just needs to have a human pilot."
That was weird. Is it a matter of perspective? From my perspective the Infinite Stratos is SUPPOSED to have shields and hyper-sensors. It wasn't a complete vehicle without them because that's what the light novels shoved down my throat. Is it because I viewed it as a complete vehicle that way, or that had a more complete idea of what I WANTED to make that made the difference? Hmm. Not having ACTUAL Tinker powers is kind of a problem in my understanding of it all.
At least she understands it, even though it's confusing. As long as she gets it working, that's all we really need anyways.
Sherrel nodded.
"Ah. That explains somethings. You being a Trump makes everything make sense." She smiled beatifically at me, "You didn't need to tell me. But I'm glad that you trust me so much."
Ah the fucking guilt again. Shit. Suzerain gives absolute loyalty. How could I NOT trust her? It would be even more scummy of me if I didn't spill my secrets to you after doing that to you. Shit.
Distract yourself from the guilt, Joe.
"Yes. And I hope that this will be what you need to progress. I know the whole, inability to design a power-suit thing's been bothering you."
She nodded, still smiling.
"Yes. This will help a lot. It might take a while to figure out a power solution, however. But once that gets sorted... I have a few alterations in mind."
"Oooh." I perked up. I may not be a Tinker, but their shit was cool AF. "Like what?"
She made a Come Hither gesture and I lent her my ear.
"It's a secret~" she whispered cheerily before (was she skipping?) turning away and leaving the room.
"Well... ok. I suppose I'll go check up on Danny if I don't get a message about a usable warehouse, set up the Auto-Forge, and head out for class." I stretched before leaving the room.
Fuck, right today was Friday. Shit, I was running late. Meh.
I didn't turn to the main area and I didn't see Deadpool buried up to his neck in fruit. Nope. Not at all. Where the fuck did all that fruit come from?!
Regardless, once I was properly above ground, my personal phone regained signal and I received a text from Danny for the number of a warehouse. Minutes later I began setting up the Auto-Forge.
Sherrel had already sent a bunch of files to our private dropbox (way faster than I had expected) and I set up everything to print after dumping all sorts of scrap and junk metal into the Auto-Forge's feed line.
Then it was just a quick matter of getting to Winslow (ugh). It was Friday, after all.
School was a boring affair, but it was peaceful enough for me and Taylor. Sophie had picked some different targets to bully and let her stress off on, much to my disappointment. It was unbecoming of a hero. It didn't weigh well on Taylor's consciousness either, as a part of her couldn't (apparently) help but to feel that her freedom from Sophia's bullying was done by pushing said bullying on someone else. I pointed out that as distasteful as it was she definitely wasn't responsible for this kind of thing. That and the fact that she felt that way was a sign that, in my opinion, that had the mentality of a hero.
Heroes should feel uncomfortable when something wrong was happening in front of them. It was righteousness that made a hero. The inherent desire to do good onto others. Even when it was hard. Especially when it was hard.
So obviously (as Taylor grumbled half angrily, half proudly, as she stabbed her fork angrily into her lunch) I decided that I'd have to have a word with Hess.
I sighed. At least I shared a class with her. And Emma was out sick today, as far as I could tell.
"So, there's something I can't understand." I said quietly in the darkness of the film studies classroom. "Why the hell are you fucking over some poor kids when you're supposed to be a hero?"
Sophia just quirked a brow at me as she chewed on some beef jerky. I had brought snacks as a peace offering of sorts. Also being able to eat endlessly without gaining weight was fucking amazing. That and the teacher didn't care if people ate in class and only handed out punishments if they made a mess that left a stain. Or smelled too strong like curry.
"Fuck you care for?"
I shrugged as I sipped on a can of root beer.
"Color me curious. Also I can't understand why you go out of your way to make people miserable when you think they're beneath you."
She rolled her eyes.
"Ugh. Your protect the sheep mentality is the one thing that really turns me off about you. Fuck if they even matter. They're prey, I'm a predator. Put two and two together already."
"See, I'm not sure if you understand. If you put things like that it's just a matter of Darwinism. And if that was the case, I'd already have put you six feet under for hunting in my territory."
"Look, I don't care about this therapy bullshit. I-"
"Decided to be a hero. You could have gone out and hunted other innocent prey and even made money mugging them. Or gotten your sick kicks by beating them up. You could have hit up all of the small businesses in the bay and made it rich a few thousand at a time and nobody at the PRT would have batted an eye. But you hunted gangbangers, rapists, and racists. And you don't give a shit about the law because, surprise surprise, everybody knows that you've been carrying your sharpened crossbow bolts, which you're not supposed to, but nobody has called you out on it. Because you seem to be trying to be a hero. So explain to me, just how much is that an act?"
"The fuck are you high? Of course I'm a her-"
"This world has forgotten whatBEINGaHeromeans. It's not wearing a costume and playing at cops and robbers. It's making a difference, protecting the innocent, and fighting wrongs. Because when you fight, it's not a show of power. It's not for the thrill of the hunt. It's not to maintain some sort of status quo. It's because there aremonsterswho prey on the weak. Who live by causing suffering onto others, feeding off of humanity likeparasiteson the underbelly of human society. That's why from the beginning of time, legends were written about heroes becausethey were what monsters feared, and what few men dared to become." I hissed, quietly, but with passion. I leaned closer to Sophia in the dimly lit classroom, ignoring her nervous swallow and her minute trembling. "Idareto be a hero. To protect the innocent. To stand as a figure of peace and hope against the darkness that monsters and villains have so gleefully created. So I really have to ask you, Sophia Hess. Are you aHero?.. Ormonster?"
Her eyes never broke contact with mine, as if she could see my stare through the colored lens of my eye-wear. Her pupils dilated in the dark, a product of the dim lighting. She held her breath, as if making a single sound would be her end. As if the silence itself was the only thing that-
A rolled up magazine bopped the top of my head, breaking my train of thought.
I turned to see the film studies teacher (who was actually awake for the first time since I've been in his class) give me a firm stare.
"Mr. Lee. There will be no flirting in my classroom. Especially if you are trying to pressure a younger classmate into reciprocating your advances."
What? Firstly, ew not Sophie. And again.
"Huh?"
What the fuck was he talking about?
I turned to Sophia to see if she understood what was going on, but the bitch was hiding her face with her arms as she slumped down on her table, shoulders slowly heaving up and down like she was taking deep breaths. It looked like embarrassment, but... no she HAD to have been laughing at me, the bitch. Must have seen this coming and froze like a deer in headlights to bait me.
Fuck.
Did I just get played? Did she see the teacher wake up in her peripherals and kept eye contact on purpose?!
"One warning only, Mr. Lee. In the future, this will be detention. Am I clear?"
I sighed.
"Yessir." I grumbled as the rest of the class laughed under their breaths at me.
Fuck I hated high school.
END
