Author's Update

So, before I get into the actual story, I just wanted to give you all some heads up about the story that is to come. Some of the things I want to cover are the overall tone of the story, personalities of characters, timing and combination of events from Overwatch and the Max Steel 2013 cartoon, and relationships between characters. Also note, this update will be taken down and replaced by the actual chapter one, so don't waste your review on this update.

Now, I plan to give this story a more serious tone to it. The Max Steel cartoon was pretty light hearted and the story of Overwatch can get pretty heavy if you look into it's lore. My idea is to lean into that heavy aspect for Turbowatch. Don't worry, I'll include some lighthearted moments, but overall, the story will have a more mature theme to it compared to the cartoon.

Next, I plan to change the mannerisms/personality of a few characters, starting with Miles Dread. Don't get me wrong, I love his character, but I always felt that for someone who looked pretty menacing, he came off as goofy at times, namely dialogue and choice of words. I plan to borrow some personality aspects from Thaddius Blakk from Slugterra (same voice actor btw, Mark Oliver is an awesome voice actor), and just make him way more cold, calculating, power hungry, sadistic, and ruthless, but with a touch of business professionalism, charisma, and charm. The same goes for other villains from Max Steel, I plan to maintain their darker characteristics while relegating the more light-hearted moments to special events.

Going onto the overall timeline of the story, I will start off by saying that the Overwatch timeline is a little tricky to navigate, so forgive me in advance if i get some events wrong. It's gonna be tricky combining events from the Max Steel cartoon with specific events from the Overwatch lore. Speaking of timeline, Max is gonna be older in this story, in his third year of college, instead of high school. So instead of being 16, Max will be 21 when he joins Overwatch.

Lastly is relationships between characters. I will start off right now by saying that in this story, many overwatch characters will take the roles of Max Steel characters or positions. Like Jack Morrison will be the Forge Ferrus, Ana Amari will be the Kat Ryan, Gabriel Reyes will be the Jefferson Smith, so on and so forth. That being said, Jack will be Molly's brother and Max's uncle. Basically, Overwatch is gonna be the really big family of Max McGrath.

Sorry if this spoils some parts, but I just wanted to establish what sort of story your all getting into.

In any case, I hope you like chapter 2 when it officially comes out. Also, just another reminder, don't waste your review on this update, it's gonna be replaced when I finish the chapter.
