A Stained Battle


(Hosu City, Construction Yard)

'He is far stronger than I thought!' Corvus could only growl at Mimic as he found himself flying back into a steel beam. He bent into it before Stain sent a harsh foot into his side and forced him straight through. 'Do try to not embarrass us in this battle. Eradicate our spawn no matter what.'

'I'm working on it!' Corvus hissed as he quickly stood up, his rifle aimed outwards. It released a burst of bullets, but Stain brought out a shield from his own Symbiote.

Both had aggressively pushed forward before finally getting close up. Stain let out a roar as he jabbed his arm forward, a blade shooting out of his wrist as he did so. However Corvus managed to shift around and released another burst of bullets across his torso. A screech echoed out from the Hero Killer, so loud it actually made Corvus recoil a bit. Still screeching, Stain moved to attack, but Corvus managed to jump back and keep his distance.

"These rounds are incendiary, but I'm sure you know that by now." Corvus commented, oddly sounding pleased. Stain's chest had several heated spots upon it, getting a less than pleased sound from the man. Keeping his aim steady, he spoke once again. "Now, surrender and allow yourself Death. There is no other option."

"NEVER, FAKER!" Stain yelled before hopping back into the shadows as Corvus fired another burst of shots.

Cursing to himself, Corvus glanced around as best he could to try and find the man. However his presence was completely shadowed to him, much to his growing annoyance. He stepped forward, carefully taking in his surroundings before turning around and firing the remainder of his round. Unfortunately hitting nothing.

Then a pair of hands suddenly grabbed Corvus' head and yanked him upwards, slamming him face first into a steel beam above. He was punched away right after, his weapon falling out his hands and skirting across the floor. Standing up quickly, Corvus barely had time to block the incoming punch only to aggressively kick roundhouses kicked in his side. Holding his ground, he managed to sling Stain over his shoulder before rushing forward to his gun.

Yet found himself falling forward as tendrils pain fully wrapped around his legs while pulling him forward. Taking out a rather sharp knife, Corvus cut clean through the Symbiote before taking out a taser and zapping Stain altogether. The Hero Killer recoiled out almost released another screech, but found a rather powerful boot kicking up into his jaw and sending him flying straight up into the ceiling.

Corvus took the chance to run over and dive for his gun, quickly reloading it before setting it to full-auto. A flurry of bullets shot out at Stain as he tried to approach, forcing the Hero Killer to evade as best as he could. Ducking behind a table, he hissed in pain upon a heat round going clean through his leg. With an enraged roar, he kicked the table forward at Corvus, who simply knocked it out the way. However Stain slammed him to him, using his tendrils to hold him steady.

"WE WILL PURGE THE WICKED FROM THIS WORLD!" Stain declared, madness clear in his gaze. His jaw unhinged, extending far larger than a normal human skull would allow. A sharp tongue slithered out, preparing to plunge itself into Corvus' head.

Before he could do so, Corvus ripped himself free and fired several rounds into Stain's chest, throwing him off. Getting back, he noticed Stain vanish from sight and immediately went on guard. Several tendrils suddenly shot from behind and yanked him off his feet. Stain grinned madly as he swung Corvus out through the opening and off the floor.

Corvus barely managed to land on the ground before immediately going into a full sprint while Stain jumped to the edge before dropping down. He growled, his tongue clicking loudly as he searched around for his prey. To his surprise, Corvus suddenly popped out from around a truck before shooting upwards. A slight ping was his only warning before several sharp rebar struck him, impaling him in several places and pinning him in place.

'That won't finish him. Their bond is complete.' Mimic growled in his ear. As she said, Stain was still very much alive. He jerked himself through the rebars, it's remains dropping out his body as he offered his wicked smile. 'You must burn him.'

Corvus didn't respond, knowing that he currently didn't have much that he could confidently say could do in the job. As strange as it seemed, Stain's symbiote was somewhat resistant to the flame rounds, but not completely invincible. He doubted using a regular grenade would work too well with his shielding, but it would be enough to catch him off guard. As for killing him for good...he needed something bigger. That much was clear.

"COME ON NOW, FAKE HERO! IT'S TIME TO DIE!" Stain declared while lunging forward. Corvus rolled underneath the Hero-Killer, spraying a barrage of bullets in return. However a shield forms Stain's back. He growled upon hearing the mad man's cackling as he turned around. "Come on...Father!"

'OH HELL NO!' Mimic naturally voiced his own disgust at being called that.

Corvus stepped away, firing shots at Stain who dodged them rather easily. Upon approaching, Stain formed two long blades in his arms as he spun himself down at the Assassin. Corvus blocked the incoming blades before immediately slamming the back of his rifle into Stain's face. He attempted to shoot, but Stain held his gun in place and made him fire elsewhere. He then thrusted his arms upward before harshly kicking Corvus in his chest, dropping his weapon in the process.

Corvus rolled backwards before finally landing crouched just as Stain attacked again. Jumping up at him, Corvus slammed his knee into the Hero Killer's face before slamming him into the ground. Yet he found himself forced back upon multiple spikes being shot out from Stain's body. He didn't even have any time to react as Stain charged at him and harshly tackled him into a truck, breaking straight through.

With a hefty amount of effort, Corvus finally managed to stop Stain in place. Both were glaring into one another's souls before they jumped away. With Stain throwing several blades in the process, one managing to dig deep into Corvus' shoulder. Hissing in pain, Corvus tried to rip it out only for it to suddenly shoot out and strike Stain's head.

'STAY OUT OF MY CORVUS!' Mimic screamed.

'...Yours?' Corvus didn't have time to question upon seeing Stain recover. He let out a rather feral screech that seemed to echo throughout the city. With seemingly blinding speed, he appeared directly behind Corvus as the Assassin turned to face him and greeted him with a powerful uppercut that sent him flying straight up.

It was amazing how far the human body could fly after getting hit with someone with augmented strength. For Corvus he knew that today upon how high he got from the strike and the wind that had gotten knocked out of him from taking it. Yet all the same, he recovered and just in time to grab the incoming arm-blade of Stain who gave chase after him.

Gravity settled not long later, taking them both over as they began to fall. Their fight continued all the way down, both throwing strikes and stabs at each other. Stain was far more used to aerial combat, but Corvus still had his own tricks to take advantage of. Tendrils shot out at him, but the Assassin managed to spin himself around to avoid them. At the same time, he ripped his taser out and closed in on the Hero Killer, slamming the thing into his neck at high voltage.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" For all of his new gained endurance, Stain wasn't immune to pain. Nor was he able to ignore getting stabbed in his eye with a knife, getting a mixture of blood and the Symbiote to spill out. Corvus yanked him down and slammed him into a parked van, breaking Stain's body right through.

Corvus grunted violently while still pressing the taser as hard as he could into Stain's neck while trying to rip the blade through. Unfortunately the Symbiote had reacted by wrapping itself around the knife and ripping it's head forward to break the knife. The sudden action made Corvus sling backwards before he was kicked in his chest by a hooked foot. He landed on his feet and backaway as Stain rose from the van. He was trembling violently and not in a way that made him feel confident.

'I think we made him angry.' Mimic commented. Stain stomped down on the taser, shattering it, before setting his feral like gaze upon them. 'Hmmm? Oh...OH!'

Oh what?

Stain dropped to the ground just as Corvus made a spirit at him. A screech came out as he shot thick tendrils at the Assassin's hands. The impact forced Corvus off his feet as he was pinned to a concrete wall. Stain pulled himself over and tackled them both clean through the wall, followed up with several others. Coming out the otherside, Stain threw Corvus into a crane's frame. The Assassin didn't allow himself to rest, immediately dodging the wide tendril that aimed for his head. It sliced clean through the crane causing it to start falling in the middle of the construction zone and creating a large amount of dust.

Now within the storm of dust, Corvus could only remain in place and try his best to locate Stain. Then he felt Mimic from within as he suddenly ducked under a stabbing blow from the Hero Killer. He didn't stop there, kicking the man's leg hard enough for it to suddenly snap before grabbing him and slamming his back down on his knee. Stain squealed in pain before getting cut off as he was kicked back a few meters.

'The...hell?' Corvus questioned, feeling...different. The Good kind of difference.

'Oh it's been so long.' Mimic voiced, sounding extremely pleased. 'Those fools never realized how much they were holding you back by sedating me for so long~'

'This is...you?' Corvus questioned. He could feel the increase upon his body, his wounds healing better than before and his mind felt oddly more focused.

He was starting to understand how much a Symbiote could truly affect someone.

'Yes, yes, we are truly amazing. However, it'll take some time before we'll be back at full strength.' Mimic chidded to him, with him understanding. Still, if this was what he could now, then what was it gonna be like later. 'NOW FOCUS UP AND DEAL IN THIS SHIT STAIN!'

Corvus had done just like that, immediately raising his hand up to grab the incoming blade arm. Stain screeched at him, but a solid kick to his side forced him to tumble away. He skidded hard, his claws digging into the ground as he started running back at Corvus while on all fours. He slashed aggressively at the Assassin, who was actually pushing away his attacks while trying to find an opening.

And when he couldn't, he forced one upon him.

He harshly grabbed Stain's arm as he struck and slammed the man deep in the ground. Upon seeing him scramble up to try and grab him, he swung his hand and chopped his neck hard enough to cause a loud crack to echo through the yard. Corvus didn't even allow him to hit the ground, slamming his leg up into Stain's stomach and forced him to fly up in the air. Stain fell back down ungracefully, twitching violently as his neck rearranged itself. Once it did, he saw Corvus up in the air and barely jumped out of the way of the strike. However as his foot struck the ground, a crater formed as a small shockwave forced Stain to raise his arms up to defend himself. As he landed, he released several tendrils from his arms as they swarmed at Corvus like a pack of snakes.

Unlike before Corvus wasn't caught off guard and managed to avoid them all for the most part. However they chased after him faster than anticipated and soon one grabbed his metal arm. Stain grinned and yanked the Assassin towards him while lunging forward himself, a pair of arm blades ready. He slashed forward, missing by mere centimeters as Corvus spun over him and moved to attack. At least, that was until a long, disgustingly jagged tail shot out from Stain. It struck past Corvus' head, cutting off a piece of his mask in the process.

'...How is he getting more disturbing to look at?' Corvus questioned as Stain turned back to look at him, his grin somehow growing wider. The man was already psychotic enough, yet he was clearly long gone.

'Tch. Their bond is strong, but inferior compared to ours. No doubt they've devolved into their basic instincts now. Makes them more dangerous all the same.' Mimic said, her glee never fading. 'Yet even like this, our battle will merely continue. As much as I despise admitting it, their healing is greater than ours as of the moment. '

Then he needed to end this.

Taking out a spare knife, Corvus crossed eyes with Stain who made a single katana to hold with his hand. One of them moved first, neither was unsure who, but both were running off with Stain chasing Corvus down. The Assassin ran through the destroyed construction zone. Jumping over fallen pillars and rushing around falling debris, he forced his way through. Yet it didn't take Stain long to catch up.

Seeing this, Corvus spun his knife around and matched the incoming blade as they spinned around each other. The Hero Killer's attack was vicious, forcing Corvus to use his knife to deflect rather than attack. Thisdid not last long however before a steel beam fell from above and forced them to jump away. Stain wasn't done just yet and released several tendrils out at the Assassin, who ran through the rooms. The tendrils broke through the walls to grab him, but more debris fell from above and instead pinned them down. Stain hissed as he retracted them before bolting off in a full sprint after Corvus, ignoring the danger around them.

Upon shooting out of the crumbling building, Stain landed while crouched down and growled. Confusion came as he saw no traces of the Assassin anywhere in sight until he heard the sounds of fast approaching footsteps from behind. He turned around with his blade shot forward, only for it to shatter upon meeting the metal fist of Corvus. It slammed straight into Stain's nose, almost caving it in and sent the Hero Killer flying off his feet and into a concrete truck. A black coating around Corvus' metal arm faded as he watched the Hero Killer fall into a pit while fresh concrete fell on top of him.

Stain's mind was rattled after the hit, so was the Symbiote within that they barely realized what was being poured on top of them. The Symbiote recovered first, quickly trying to repair the damage done to the Hero Killer's mind and move their body. It was too late though, the concert was already beginning to get harder and made it far too difficult to move around it, especially with how much was coming down. It wasn't long until all was said and done, as Stain finally recovered and saw the position he was in.

"No...NO!" Stain echoed out throughout the lot while trying to break free. Try as he might, even with his new found strength, it meant nothing if his movements were completely restricted. Even now he was flexing with all his might, but found it to be more slow than he would have preferred. "Need to escape! TO PURGE THE WORLD OF FAKES! I WON'T DIE! ONLY ALL MIGHT IS WORTHY ENOUGH TO-GAH?!"

He was cut off as a propane tank struck his face. It wasn't the only one as several others rained down, not hitting him, but without a doubt filling into the pit. It didn't help that the Symbiote was roaring in pain within, causing terrible tremors to go off in his body. Corvus looked up to see one of the remaining cranes being operated and currently dropping a wide container of propane.

"Mimic! Do me a favor and blow him to smithereens." Camellia said, a hint of annoyance in her tone. She was very pissed that it took her noticing a destroyed building under construction to figure out where Corvus was. "Also next time, tell me about the location of the Villain!"

Corvus ignored her in favor of taking an oil barrel and pouring it into the pit. Soon he was screaming, his voice split between the Symbiote and the man known as Chizome Akaguro, but Stain all the same. Corvus walked over to the edge, a dead stare in his eye as held a single grenade. Pulling the pin, he dropped it inside the pit before turning and walking away. The Grenade landed before Stain, blinking red rapidly and only getting faster. Stain screeched as tendrils came out his mouth in an attempt to grab the device.

Corvus was a good distance away before the explosion went off, it's flames shooting straight up into the sky for all to see. He picked up his rifle and went on his way out of the construction yard.

'Marvelous! Simply Marvelous!' Mimic cackled from within. 'Nothing's left! Our disgusting Spawn is no more and our bond is more powerful than ever before! I simply cannot wait for what comes next!'

'And Stain?' Corvus questioned while dipping his way into an alley. Several police cars could be seen speeding by along with a Helicopter from above.

'Hmmm? Oh right, him. He's gone too. I'd be surprised if they even found the bones after the masterful explosion.' Well that was good. For a lot of people, not just Exodus. 'Best you report this back to your...Master. Bleh, can't wait till we end him.'

'You won't do anything of the sort. Mr. Subaru is an honest man who cares about the future of Humanity.' Corvus thought back with a growl.

'Oh and I'm sure they brought Stain to that underground section to rehabilitate him. I wonder how many other Quirked beings have been there? Good? Evil?' Mimic asked mockingly, sensing his annoyance. 'But worry not, I'll allow this until he eventually tries fucks us. We are partners after all.'

Corvus didn't respond, knowing he was gonna get an earful for the damage he caused while facing Stain. But Chizome Akaguro, the Hero Killer was gone and the world was all the better for it. For now he contacted Camilla. "Stinger, Report."

"Stinger Reporting in. I have evacuated from the area and have cleared all video cam footage from the area. Reporting back to base, I expect to see you there." Camilla responded back, sounding somewhat better, but not by much.

Meanwhile Miruko was landing down at the construction zone with a solid glare on her face. She had just got done talking to Izuku and Katsumi for their fight with Stain. Them losing isn't what angered her, if anything she was relieved they were living and kicking. It was the fact that she didn't even get the fight she wanted from him! It was the whole reason why she came out here to begin with...and to obviously make sure Stain was put down and brought to jail.

She loved fighting, but she wasn't gonna waste any time when it came to a Villain.

The main reason why she came out was thanks to a report from a civilian that claimed they saw a figure that matched Stain's new appearance in the construction yard nearby. Naturally she claimed it and ran off, leaving Endeavor to deal with the reporters swarming in with a few Police men following her dust.

'Okay, where is this bastard so I can curbstomp his teeth in.' Upon seeing where the massive explosion had come from, she started from there. Upon approaching, she immediately stopped upon the sight. The pit inside was completely scorched, several cracks across heading upwards and from what she saw, a very crisply skull with fire coming out of it. "...Fuck..."

Oh she was gonna have a field day explaining this one...damn it, this was Stain wasn't it?

Somehow she could tell.

"And there goes the League of Villains' attempt to bring more fame to themselves...oh how sad can it get." A man said, upon looking at the news report. He sat within a dark room with multiple monitors watching the latest news on Hosu. "Of course it should be expected that they would get outshined by the Hero Killer and his...transformation. Ashamed that he may be dead, he would have been a grand ally to have. But we'll have more than enough to pick from."

The light above finally came on, showing himself. He was a 7,0 ft tall male with tan dark skin and a pair of orange pupils. His hair was short and stylized with it graying silver, but he was no oldman, appearing closering around his 30's than one would think. He was wearing a red dress shirt with a black vest with white dress pants and black shoes.

His name...well he abandoned it all too long ago. What he went by now was Black-Out and it was what he had decided to call their little group...little being completely sarcastic.

"Hmm...You know what? I've decided." Black-Out said, a wide smile on his face appearing. On the monitors, they changed showing several prison cells, all of which focusing on key targets. "One Week from now we shall make our appearance and have Earth be well aware of their soon to be Masters." His face trembled as it changed to Reno briefly before shifting to normal. "And once we gather our new allies, we can begin the invasion of Earth. By eliminating the top Heroes and crumbling the Plumbers as a whole. Oh I do wonder what will happen next, My Lord."

Oh yes, domination was going to be sweet and it was going to be sweeter upon the Peace that would come from it.


(Rising Heights, Living Room)

'Finally asleep.' Rukido thought only a bit tired as he laid on the couch. On his chest was a sleeping and relaxed Eri, who had finished her milkshake not too long ago. The story he had read to her was also one of an old story of Snow White, holding a happy ending as he preferred. Even Ship was next to him, but was still drinking up his own shake. 'I didn't think she'd recover this quickly from the conversation, but I'll need to keep an eye on her all the same.'

There was no telling how sensitive Eri would be to any trigger to Kai, so he needed to be careful about that. However he had truly wanted to go after the man and smash him into a bloody, but livable paste. Ship was in a similar mood no doubt.

"...Ship...we're going to destroy that bastard if he even comes within Eri's sights." Rukido said, determined.

"Ship!" Naturally, he agreed.

"Good...good...dang it, I want something to hit later." Rukido muttered to himself. At that very moment a knocking at the front door caught his attention. "...Ship. Blaster Jacket please."

Ship hummed as he spread himself over Rukido and formed a black and green jacket. Holding onto Eri, he stood up and approached the door while wondering who was here. Upon opening it a bolt of lighting stuck outside as a feminine figure was shown.

It was a fair-skinned girl who is prone to blushing and is frequently described as having a pretty face. She has inward-tilting yellow eyes with thin slit-like irises, somewhat resembling those of a cat. Her hair is a pale, ash-blonde color and is styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs framing her face. Her outfit consists of a plain seifuku with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which is paired with a red scarf that she ties loosely below.

She was also holding a knife and had a weak cat-like smile.

"Hello~" She said while jabbing her blade forward. However she was soon blasted by Ship and was forced on her back. The knife bounced off the ground while Eri shifted in his arms, but never awoke.

Rukido could only look down at the strange girl, who was now unconscious and wondered why these things happened to him.

All well, time to call Nezu.

(Chapter End)


A/N: Well that's done, finally. Sorry for the long wait, I have been busy with IRL stuff. Even now I've been growing restless this summer and I hate it. Honestly a bit of pain, but that';s to be expected when dealing with things you hate...Summer, I hate Summer. Give me any other Season and I'll be fine, but Summer is the killer.

I...actually don't have much to explain here. Stain and his Symbiote are dead, Corvus and Mimic are getting their bond back, another group is about to reveal itself soon to the world and I made Toga appear...if I didn't make that clear enough.

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed it and that you'll return for more. Until next time!

Guest: Quick question:

Does Katsumi know that Izuku accidentally released the Sludge Villain? I'm guessing she knew after learning All Might's secret and forgives him considering she had that revelation.

Or is Izuku keeping it under wraps fearing she would hate him again?

Answers: She knows, I just didn't touch up on it because of it being somewhat minor.


Ushindi: Awesome chapter! Izuku, Lida, Kasuki and Shoko did well on surviving against Stain especially with his Symbiote, I knew they wouldn't defeat him like this if he was only himself they would have but they got his respect so that's something.

1. What do you think of hearing from the manga All Might will face All For One last time with his new special equipment?

2. Who do you think would have been best to share One For All besides Katsuki from the movie MHA Heroes Rising?

3. What do you think of Nighteye?

Answers:

1: It's...something. Not sure I feel about Iron All Might, but it's a thing...a thing I'll question for a while.

2:Hate it. All of my hate. Thankfully they literally said, "Nope" when it came to Katsuki.

3: I think when it comes to Izuku being a fan, Nighteye is Obsessive when it comes to All Might. It shows when it comes to his choice in Mirio, who holds a lot of resemblances to All Might and has a serious OP Quirk regardless of what he says. He was pretty much trying to build a new All Might and would more than likely belittle Izuku the entire time if he didn't prove himself.


TheGreatGodzilla: Why do you Stain and his goal are stupid?! In case you do not know, some heroes really do not deserved to be heroes since they only wanted fame and wealth. To be exact, being heroes are not even meant to become jobs in the first place. Look, I know that everyone loves money. Money was one of the primary motivations why the soldiers throughout history decided to fight for their rulers. But by institutionalized superheroes as form of occupation, peoples who decided to become heroes for wealth and fame will immediately lose their reasons to become heroes as soon as they did not get paid. And in a society that heavily relied on heroes like the one in MHA, the societal collapse is so easy to happened just because the heroes no longer desired to be heroes out of selfish reasons such as not getting paid. Not to mention that when they get paid regularly, some of them are so arrogant that they behaved like deities as well.

Also, I think Endeavor himself is the enough evidence of how corrupted the hero society is! Sure, he hides who he truly is from the public in order to maintain his good appearance and reputation as a pro-hero. But that is the point! It's just for show! Like Lady Nagant said to Deku when she has been sent after him by All For One, the peoples only see the justice that have been made and seen only what allowed to be seen in accordance of the government. If Endeavor is not enough, do I needed to bring in Captain Celebrity? In case you don't know, he refused to stop the villains because the presses were not there to take pictures of him and interview him.

And you have to admit it whether you wanted to or not. Some of the heroes and the society they are protecting are responsible, either directly or indirectly, in creating many villains. While the heroes are getting the fat paychecks and being worshiped as some sort of living deities on Earth by the majority of the society, some peoples who suffered impoverishment are left behind, thus unofficially criminalizing poverty and forcing some of these peoples who can barely afford themselves and their families to turn to the lives of crimes to sustain their finances. Some civilains even left the problems they can solved on their own to the heroes to deal with while some of the heroes are completely different behind the doors such as Endeavor. Not to mention that the society seemed to look down on those who do not possessed quirks, having villainous quirks or being born as heteromorphs as well.

This is why I believed that the people such as Stain and the Peerless Thief are right. Stain is right that the heroes who only become heroes for fame and wealth do not deserved to become heroes and the Peerless Thief is correct that heroes have either directly or indirectly creating more villains by doing such things as unofficially criminalizing poverty that started with the institutionalization of heroes as form of occupation.

If these heroes are fighting for the status quo that are supporting discrimination and criminalized poverty, then that society needed to be destroyed and rebuild from the ground up if it cannot be reformed. Heck, such a society is not even worth fighting for in the first place.

By the way, do the Forever Knights existed here since this is a crossover with Ben 10. If they do, I guess they must really hated peoples with quirks, viewing them as some sort of spawns of the Devil or something like that, considering that fanatical crusading nature.

One more thing, since you added the Symbiotes into the story. How many elements from Marvel will be there? Will the Kree, the Skrulls, the Shi'ar, the Chitauri appeared? Do the groups such as the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Masters of the Mystic Arts existed?

P.S: What do you think of the concept of Villain Deku? Personally, I like it very much because it seemed more realistic in my opinion. What about you? Do you like such a concept?

P.S.S: With Stain is still out there, it means that the Hosu Incident is not his last stand. So how will the attack at Hosu City increased the number of the ranks for the League of Villains if Stain has yet to be defeated? After all, those such as Toga, Spinner and Mustard came to the League in the first place because of his defeat in Hosu inspired them to seek the League of Villains since they believed he and the League are connected.

Answers

I guess I'll start off with Stain. I can't exactly agree with Stain's methods. Yes he is taking out Heroes who seek fame and wealth, but at the same time he is still murdering these people who are still helping People at the same time. Not to mention these people aren't being exposed and while his message is clear, it realistically shouldn't bring anyone to follow his cause unless they are desperate for a change or have a few screws loose.

And yes there are Heroes who clearly have issues like Captain Celebrity, but people like that easily make fools out of themselves and can actually be shown as being the absolute fool of a Hero that they are. If they just kill them, then they go down as a Hero in the eyes of some or a fake in the eyes of others.

To some degree some Heroes do make up the Villains, but it is the Villain's choice at the end of the day. Yes they may have a tragic backstory, but it wouldn't excuse them for their actions. I suppose a prime example would be Batman creating the Joker in some Universes, but the man is too insane and had willingly chosen to do the things he had done. Batman sure as shit didn't force him and I doubt most people would blame him either.

In the end, there are too many issues with Stain. Yes he is dealing with Bad Heroes who take advantage of their status and try to get as many benefits as possible. But at the same time so long as those same Heroes are doing their job as expected as them, then I think it can be ignored if they want to ensure a financial career for their needs. If anything it would be better to properly expose these people to other Heroes and the Community as a whole so they can be properly punished and force other people who have similar thoughts as Captain Celebrity, if they cannot attempt to change as he has from what I've researched about it...also maybe it's on the same people who allowed them to become Heroes in the first place.

Now onto other stuff. Yes, the Forever Knights are in this story, I introduced them in Chapter 6, but I need to get through all this intro stuff before I can include them once again.

There will be many elements from both Marvel and DC I plan to add, but only if they make sense for the Story Format I have going on. They already exist as comics so far, but that's not all I have planned either. Can't say too much or else I'll spoil too much.

Villain Deku is...honestly pretty boring for the most part. Especially with making him OP for no good reason most of the time. No other comment.

As for your final question...you'll have to wait and see.
