Topic: Bounty List Update (Villain: Skunk)
In: Boards ► Quirk Index ► Villain Bios ► Bounty Hunting List
Level-Up (Original Poster) (Moderator)
Posted on August 28, 2123:
As of 8:30 am (Eastern Standard Time) on August 28th, 2123, the villain known as Skunk has had his Bounty reinstated.
Previously frozen due to being captured (and in a coma) the bounty for Skunk had been restored due to his reappearance at a Stilwater University Back To School pep rally last night (August 27th, 2123).
Current Bounty: $250,000
Skunk is considered to be armed and dangerous. If encountered, call the police and await the arrival of heroes.

Yooo, I saw the dude's speech online. It was pretty dope. And he looked cool with that costume of his.

Ain't that name a blast from the past! I remember when Skunk and the Saints were active. The parts of the city under their control were way safer than anywhere else in Stilwater.
Cheers to you, Fog of War! Clean up those crime-ridden streets!

Curious, I thought he was in a medically induced coma? How did he wake up and escape the prison he was in? Was it inside help?
And that bounty of his… I'm based in LA. Maybe I'll swing on by, see if I can nab me a nice payday.

Dragnet, Don't bother. He was never caught by anyone when he was active. It took a bomb to slow him down! And why would you want to, anyways? He never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it.

Ravioli-Molly, Doesn't matter if he's good or bad, he's got a bounty on his head, and that means the dinner bell has been rung for all sorts of people. And not all of them are like me. Some don't care about collateral damage.

This is Steel Sponge. I am asking the people of Stilwater not to panic or make any rash decisions. Keep calm, and this will be taken care of properly by the right authorities. Civilians, please don't interfere, and if you have any information about the whereabouts of any member of the Third Streets Saints, please report it to the police ASAP.
As for the other criminal elements who might think this means it is open season while we focus on the new threat?
Do. Not. Test. Us. If we catch anyone committing a crime, we will arrest them. We're still heroes, after all.
Stay Moist, people!

A quarter mil for a single guy who can only make farts with his Quirk? Jeez, what the hell did he do to deserve every Bounty Hunter and Nomadic Hero from Denver to LA coming after him?

Replied on August 28th, 2123:
I want to say I agree completely with my fellow hero, Steel Sponge. Ordinary civilians should not involve themselves in this. Leave it to the professionals. Please, we don't want any unfortunate accidents that could have been avoided by staying away.
And while it hurts me to do so, I shall endeavor to take them down as quickly and painlessly as possible.

What the hell, Silver Swan? Weren't you rescued from a Vice Kings human trafficking plot by Skunk of the Third Street Saints? Where's your sense of honor?

Ravioli-Molly, Even though I was saved by the Saints five years ago, I am a hero now. I have to do what is right. In this case, that means arresting Skunk and the rest of them.

WOOOO! THEY'RE BACK, BABY! YAY!
Ahem! Pardon my enthusiasm, folks, but as a denizen of Stilwater, I can't help but be excited!
For those who don't know, Stilwater has been the crime capital of the US for decades. We have more villains and crime per capita than anywhere else on the West Coast. Not even LA can match the sheer number of shootings per day we have! And for a while, Los Carnales was responsible for bringing more drugs into the country than any other cartel.
But for a short period of time, there was peace in our less-than-fair city.
And that peace was due to the Third Street Saints.
They did more for the city than anyone else, and did so by tackling the other criminals in the city. Sometimes literally! I once saw a Saint dive-tackle a Vice King after the latter tried to rob a gas station!
Sure, they were classified as a gang, but the Saints merely fought fire with fire. Whenever the police were too slow, lazy, or corrupt to stop something, the Saints rolled up and showed 'em the error of their ways.
I for one am eager to see how the Saints deal with the current slew of gangs infesting Stilwater. Ought to be a blast!
Get it?
Because Skunk was put into a coma by a bomb?

The Saints ain't worth the dogshit I scrape off my boots. Their nothing and their achievements are even less impressive.
The Rollerz were a bunch of rich, bored kids doing petty crime.
The Vice Kings were a bunch of in-fighting douches.
And the Los Carnales were dumbshit druggies who probably couldn't shoot straight due to all the shit they were shooting up with.
They can't compare to the Brotherhood, or any of the other gangs in the city.
Mark my words, the Saints'll be dead by Christmas.

Trumpet-leer, It's *they're. Fix that typo, will ya?
And I don't care much for the odds of the current batch of thugs in Stilwater.
The Ronin are basically the Rollerz without the chop-shops. Just rich kids doing crime for fun.
The Sons of Samedi are just Los Carnales with a Jamaican reskin.
And the Brotherhood? Yeah, I'm real sure Rednecks and Neo-Nazis can stand up to the guys that curbstomped The Brute mano-y-mano!

I think we can all guess who Trumpet-Leer is simping for. Ten bucks he's got a shaved head and a swastika tattoo.
Also, the Sons are mostly Haitian, not Jamaican, Flathead Screwdriver.

Sorry, Ravioli-Molly, that's my bad, thanks for correcting me. I stand by my earlier statement, though. The Saints will wreck 'em regardless of which Caribbean Island they come from.

Strange, the more I look into this 'Skunk' fellow, the more I am confused. His Quirk is extremely weak, being able to only emit different scents from his body, yet his kill count is impressive and his leadership is nothing to scoff at, either.
Add in all the times he's evaded (or beaten) other bounty hunters and heroes… well, I'm starting to become curious.

Dragnet, That's Skunk for ya. Nobody expected much of him, yet he clawed his way to the top and stayed there. He saved my life, you know. Watching him tear through those Vice Kings was quite the sight. Won't stop me from arresting him, of course, but I might go easy on the pepper spray when I do. ;)

Flathead Screwdriver, All I'm saying is that it's been proven time and time again that a strong hero is one with a strong Quirk! So how is Skunk able to run roughshod over every hero sent his way?! Not to mention, he killed Monorail! Monorail wasn't in the Top 100, sure, but he was still the Number One in Stilwater for years!
And that means Skunk must be cheating, somehow! Maybe he's lying about his Quirk?

Yeah, man. What even defines a 'Strong Quirk' anyways? Some are totally weird, like the hero Banana Loco's. He can telekinetically control fruit. And what about Pennsylvania's top hero, The Quaker? His Quirk has no offensive capabilities, yet he's the Number 5 hero nationwide! You gonna say he's weak?
► Flash Camera (Quirk Groupie) (Verified Journalist)
Replied on August 28th, 2123:
I dunno if it's not a strong Quirk or whatever, but the Saints totally wrecked Amber and Banana Loco last night during the high-speed chase following Skunk's big return at the Culex Stadium. They may have been Stilwater's 7th and 12th ranked respectively, but they're both vets of Stilwater who've survived the past five years mostly unharmed with a long list of captures and arrests! That's gotta say something about the Saints if nothing else does.

Replied on August 28th, 2123:
I agree with Molly and Flash. It's not always about sheer power, even if the media does like to spin it that way. In the end, it's about how you use what power you have. Even something weak can be useful in the right situations. It's why we have Fair Use Laws for Quirks, so even seemingly silly abilities can be leveraged in the right fields. Why else do people with Superstrength or Geokinetic Quirks primarily work in construction and landscaping?

Don't you see what this all means?! Skunk was never real in the first place! He was a puppet! A fake villain created by Ultor to take over Stilwater! They used him to take control of the Saints, then wiped out the other gangs, driving down property value through the violence! And who swoops in when Skunk is 'put into a coma' to pick up the pieces? ULTOR! That's who!
