You seem to be well-versed with superhero comics
Gotta have to ask, is there a hero with no tragic background?
It just spins in my head after I read that LH0's concept for Hero X is a "new type of hero" who doesn't have a tragic background to enjoy what he does
And I kept thinking, "There has to be a superhero with no tragic backstory right?" And I can't think of one!
The closest would be Superman, and that's a thin line because he was only a baby when his whole planet is destroyed, and only learn about his origin later in life.
Other that, the other close example would be Danny Phantom and Kim Possible. They're not comic superhero and more of a children superhero. But the selling point about them has always been that they're normal teens who happens to take up superheroing.
I don't know. I'm only into a few niche superheroes. So I feel a bit ignorant asking this. But still, can't hurt to ask.
Hmmm...*reflecting on my existing comic knowledge*
While there are more Heroes with Tragic backstories than there are NONE, usually the ones that don’t have the tragic stuff ( or burdens) when they become the Hero. (Ex. Kyle Rayner from Green Lantern, Spidermen Variants, Invincible, etc. )
But going by LHO statement, in comics, I'd say Gwenpool and the Beyonder.
Cause in comic Origin, Gwenpool lived in our universe where superheroes and villains were just fictional characters and she just inexplicably manifested into the Marvel Universe. After that she just pushed herself not to be an "extra", who became a mercenary with Deadpool powers then later became a member of the West Coast Avengers.
As for the Beyonder....He is cosmic reality bending multiversal being who was accidentally released by a failed science experiment. He mostly plays as an observant of Earth and occasional instigator of heroes and villains to see who is the most powerful. But in most versions of him (and them), his main drive is the fascination and want to understand the concept of "desire" and human nature.
Though both of them are on different spectrums of heroics and morality, I think they share the same "we just exist and we're just gonna do" energy.
I assume Hero X is similar that way, in that he probably appeared out of nowhere out of general curiosity, and wants to test the limits of what really makes a hero and how their desire to be one push them further?
WHY CAN’T THIS BE ON VOLUME 2′S SOUNDTRACK!!!
This is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That moment when a new OC drops into your brain but they don’t have a story or anywhere to live yet and they won’t leave you alone so you gotta invent a whole new universe for ‘em the same way an oyster’s gotta invent a pearl around a grain of sand
Mostly Ghostly.
My 5 favorite spirits vs one cowardly Ghost Hunter.
(really check out Mitama Secruity its 😂👌)
So this is one of the main things that have been on my mind after episode 4. (SPOILER TALK WARNING ⚠️ ‼️ )
After the Blankster’s defeat,God eye is taunting Nice/Lin Ling with how much of his “perfection” as a Hero image is and deep down is nothing but a miserable sham. And it's really getting into Nice/Lin Ling.
….until this happens:
Lin Ling's Promo proposal breaks the broadcast.
It is made aware that know one knows where the promo came from. Not God’s Eye, and not even Miss J and her goons, who have been trying to hack into the broadcast the entire time.
My theory is that X was the one who changed the broadcast.
But for what reason?
Well..
While everyone is confused by the sudden Ad, Lin Ling is completely enthralled by it.
It brings back the memories of his old self, his drive and passion that HE can be the hero not the packaged image of what the fans want.
That is what gave him the will power to break from the Nice personage, run to Moon, and claim himself as the Everyman’s hero.
(I’m sorry, I know his Hero name is something else but I can’t, I’m calling him Lin Ling from now on)
Now knowing what we know, some of the animation changes happen for a reason and are usually followed by a snap in the background. X has the ability to warp and control the essence and matter of reality. Not to mention he is supposedly a Vtuber or Streamer himself.
From what we see from X’s PV, his civilian self is the office worker in one of the Hero Agencies, Fomo.
His position in the company is yet unclear, but it DEFINITELY clear that he is able to move and use his powers somewhat undetected by his colleagues and the higher ups.
The means in which he could have obtained the proposal promo is:
He could have hacked and stole Lin Ling’s Promo directly from the Treeman Server or from Miss J’s Email.
HE HAS BEEN WATCHING LIN LING THE ENTIRE TIME!
I personally believe that both methods are possible, but why would Hero X choose this time to act? What does he gain by leaking the proposal?
My theory, he is trying to change or create a new renaissance of Heroes.
In each of the Trailers and PVs that feature X, he is seen changing and switching the narrative around. He is manipulating the perception of not only the belief of the people, but also inspiring other heroes within his board of fate to redefine the what and who Hero X can be.
Whether that makes him even more powerful or weakens him, he is resetting the Value system of what it means to be a Hero, focusing little on public trust but building it on the belief of the convictions of the heroes.
Well finally got that one out of the chamber. I might do one on which Hero in the story might fit which chess piece, but I'll hold onto that after E-Soul or Lucky Cyan's Arcs wrap-up
Shout out to @vaccoiI! I told you I was gonna mention X!
Everytime I thinking of and keep seeing @supremefloof TBHX: Bird Theory :
Supercarrier: fandom flagship. Everybody and their dog ships it. The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic. You cannot escape this ship.
Dreadnought: massively popular. Nearly everybody ships it. You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.
Cruiser: pretty popular ship. Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it. Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.
Frigate: just plain popular. Feels like it could use more fanworks. New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.
Gunboat: bit of a rarepair. It might have an ask blog or two. A couple big name fans ship it. Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.
Tugboat: rarepair. Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship. You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days. You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.
Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it. You all know each other. You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.
Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers. You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.
Blonde Heroes/Villains Alignment
This looks soooooo FUN! I love making fan Pokémon teams!! 🤩
"It is said that Trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter." - bw pokedex
yap + bonus w/ reshiram below
The enigmatic reigning champion, 'X' remains undefeated since winning the last Tournament two years ago.
would the tbhx characters still be heroes in this AU? would they keep their powers? is there still a trust value system? idk.
I was wondering about if X is the only one with a legendary/mythical but then I thought about drawing Moon with Hoopa
instead, to distinguish X as special, he's got a shiny Victini, which has never been distributed and is only possible to obtain by hacking. It also happens to match his color scheme perfectly!!
maybe he's got an action replay lmfaoo
He uses premier balls for his team to match his color scheme and because they look cool you get them FREE with a purchase of 10 pokéballs!
Two reasons why his other pokémon is Pidove:
1. Pidove is a common pokémon for common people, which matches with his salaryman alter ego. fun fact that I found on serebii: Pidove spawn in the Castelia City park, and there is exactly one clerk in the city who will battle you with a Pidove.
2. bird theory
If I do more, I was wondering if I should assign everybody a legendary. I'm also super super biased so I immediately wanted to stick Reshiram to X because Reshiram's my favorite legendary and happens to be white.
To be fair to myself though, it might work because Reshiram is the Truth and X is described as "seeing the truth of the world". Plus, if X wants to change the system then he might align with Reshiram who helps those who want to build a world of truth.
again, I'm extremely biased towards Unova. A disproportionate amount of my favs are from Unova. I was thinking Queen with Cobalion?
if I do end up doing the 1 legendary or mythical/character idea then I think E-Soul would either have Regieleki (fast electricity) or Genesect (old thing with gun)
I was debating whether to put this on my pokemon sideblog, but ultimately I'm just gonna rb it there i think
feel free to suggest stuff!
