#Superhero au!

[meowthefluffy]

I made a little comic for the superhero au! I tried a new technique with this one (I sketched and lined it traditionally, then colored it digitally)

I hope you like it!

[cuppachar]

If Ted lasso characters had superpowers, what would they be? I’ve been thinking and this is what I’ve come up with so far: Jamie - super speed (because he has a tendency to run from his problems), Phoebe - force fields a la Violet from the Incredibles (because we have to protect him at all costs), Dani - empath (because he’s such an emotion driven character), Henry - teleportation (so he can visit his dad more often)

Seeing this prompt, after the last episode, all I can really see is

Isaac and the ability to chop things in half with his hand.

For me, I picture Jamie: Has Gambit/Remy Lebeau (X-Men) style powers: Kinetic Energy, the ability to charge objects into explosive energy. Jamie has repressed this most of his life, just like his childhood trauma, which might explain why he seems so 'charged' and energetic on the field. This version of Jamie's powers also takes inspiration from an epic fanfic I read back in the day, that also had Remy accidentally revealing he had suppressed empath skills. In Jamie's case, he's prickish behaviour, and his ability to wind up his opponent's (and Roy/his own teammates back in S1) was actually Jamie subconsciously (and times deliberately - Jamie knows he has this ability, just not enough control) so that they end up fouling him was Jamie pushing anger, hate and self-hatred onto others. In S2 Jamie has a psychic blast in the Man City episode and if no one knew about Jamie's abilities before, they did after this (a combination of built up kinetic energy and suppressed emotions and trauma) forcing Roy to help Jamie control this and also develop the Signal for when to use it appropriately.

It explains one thing, though: Anytime Jamie ever played, the atmosphere was always felt or described as 'charged' and electric'.

Marvel.com also describe Remy as 'he seeks redemption for sins past by playing an unlikely role – hero' which also kind of describes Jamie's journey and potential S3 arc.

(also can you imagine this  👇 👇 👇 👇 in Spandex)

Roy is basically SuperBob. This needs to be declared before signing for any team.

Phoebe: Strength, she is the niece of Roy after, all. Also has ability to form force fields.

Dani is also an empath, but he has control over it most of the time, and helps Roy in helping Jamie. Also explains his instant affinity for Jamie when he first arrived, and has some unresolved guilt over the fact that he had not picked up on Jamie's ability.

Banned powers (basically anyone who has these abilities need to declare and register said ability and take suppressants if they are members of football teams, or in affinity of said football match (fans are required to take suppressants for at least one month prior to a match or for the entire season if they hold a season pass);

Telekinesis -the act of mentally controlling/moving the ball (or making someone fall head over arse)

Cerebrokinesis - the ability to manipulate the mind and mental processes of others (or making someone fall head over arse)

Pyroknesis - ability to create and control fire with the mind. (No accidental fire or burning of the field or an opponent in the heat of the moment or burning the arsecheeks of your opponent's shorts off)

Psychic - No ability where you can read someone's next move or use any suddenly acquired information to your advantage (or know who's sleeping with who)

Teleportation - the ability to have instantaneous travel between two locations without crossing the intervening space . Unfortunately Henry is only allowed to use this on the off season as it's banned during matches.

Bonus:

Ted doesn't know what to call his ability - he as the ability to cook his feelings into his baking (a la Sarah Michelle Gellar in Simply Irresistible ). He soon learns not to stress bake or bake when he's angry. Working Title: Food Empathy (Ted: Not to self, do not add tears to baking mixture).

SuperVillains:

Rupert Mannion: Machiavellian - manipulative, callous, and indifference to morality (no hope for redemption)

Zava Egomanic - an excessive importance of themselves and their own life experiences, tends to talk excessively about themselves and have an insatiable desire to be above others (no hope for redemption)

Nate Shelley The Wonder Kid (possibly can still be redeemed).

If chaos was personified I think it would be Damian. Tiny child filled with rage and equipped with far too many weapons.

They look SO CUTE altogether!!

I love this au so much. Bats on thrones makes me so happy.

[otselotus]

Hope it's readable!! it's not the usual type of comics I make so pls tell me what you think, do you like this au? is it stupid? do you want to see more? feedback is very appreciated :D /nf also yes - Grian is a villain/vigilante Mumbo - just a regular human (although he was adopted by the number 3 hero Docm77 and number 2 hero The Void when he was 9 (they're co-parenting) and Scar is number 1 hero at the moment

DC x DP Prompt: Jack and Maddie are not the best parents, but they love their kids! (Even the clone one they just found out about) And so they end up at a support group for the parents of super heroes to get some tips on how to improve.

“— so we’d like to learn how to be better parents to support our children,” Maddie said, sounding sorrowful. “They didn’t tell us secrets for so long because they didn’t trust us.”

She and Jack were currently sitting across from their laptop, where an online meeting was being held. No one showed their faces, since this was a meeting for parents of superheroes and metas, and secret identities still needed to be held.

There were some agreeable hums from the other participants. The head counselor said, “That’s good that you want to change. It’s a good sign. What are you specifically worried about?”

“Well, we recently adopted our youngest child, but we discovered that she was actually a clone of our youngest son. We worry because we don’t know how to deal with her. She’s such a sweet child, but this is so new, y’know?” Maddie explained.

“…. Wouldn’t it be better if you just ignore him— I mean, her? She’s not really part of your family, after all, she’s just a clone. They’re not created like living beings,” one person said. His icon showed a picture of a pair of glasses.

Maddie and Jack immediately scowled.

There was silence. And then the head counselor said, slowly, “Okay, well, I don’t know the circumstances, but I do know that he’s absolutely wrong.”

There was a snorted burst of laughter from another person who had an icon of a bat, before he quickly went on mute. The glasses icon person went silent.

The counselor continued, “No matter what, that child is still just that— a child. They need to be taught and loved and cared for. You’re already doing great by acknowledging your connection to her.”

Jack and Maddie beamed.

“No matter what, the best thing you can do as parents to children who are stronger than you and want to help others is support them. Lord knows just how many villains we could’ve prevented if only they had more support in the beginning.”

Jack nodded. “Rightfully said!” He and Maddie shared a look and smiled. For the sake of their children, they would strive to be better parents.

corny supervillain shen yuan au save me... supervillain shen yuan secretly being hero binghe's biggest supporter... save me supervillain shen yuan au..

all i'm saying is . luo binghe as a teenager that just got his powers, but he's really nervous.. cue Shen Qingqiu, his "arch nemesis" who "smack talks him" by giving him advice

for example:

Shen Qingqiu with a megaphone: haha, luo binghe, evil triumphs once again! if only you were a more experienced hero, you would know you can escape this cage with your sword! xin mo can actually teleport its owner! but you're too ignorant to know the swords true power!!

binghe, opening a portal: omg it's true!! I never knew that..

Shen Qingqiu, acting it up: oh noooo you figured it out!! now i better flee before it's too late...!!

luo binghe quickly realizes the villain is actually not a bad guy at all, and is probably being coerced into acting like one for some reason, so he puts on this whole show while secretly helping people. Binghe starts fighting actual villains and he can tell Shen Qingqiu always kept Luo Binghe out of real danger while preparing him for it and giving him more knowledge. He's never had someone look after him before so he adores Shen Qingqiu a lot

So when the Huan Hua trial actually happens and Shen Qingqiu starts getting accused of murder ?? fraud?? actual crimes?? Binghe knows there's no way that's true. Everyone is super confused why the hero whos job it is to BEAT the villain is acting all defensive and possessive of his enemy

Not me absolutely frothing at the mouth about this AU. Can we get an info dump on the Lore? It's making me want to abandon my current Spideypool WIP for this. Absolutely terminal brainrot for this boy

BEHOLD: MASSIVE LORE DUMP!

Peter B. Parker is a young troublemaker who has a problem with authority. He also has a knack for picking tech apart and putting it back together, which puts him on the radar for a small-time gang that needs someone to act as their alarm system breaker for a big score.

Unfortunately, said score had bad intel and what was supposed to be a simple robbery turns out to be manslaughter when the resulting fire that was supposed to cover up their tracks ends up killing two guards.

Peter is tried as an adult with the rest of the gang and sentenced to Rykers for 5 years.

Check out the full page HERE.

At Rykers, Peter meets Marko Flint, who takes Peter under his wing. and teaches him how to survive and thrive when wearing the orange.

Life goes on for 5 years. He learns the trade, gets some tats, learns how to make some great shivs, and becomes a better criminal all around. Yay prison!

Peter gets out at 21, and reunites with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. He does his best to clean up his act, but normal life is hard for someone who spent their formative years in prison.

(He also makes questionable hair and fashion choices. What can I say, he's catching up!)

He goes from job to job, trying to pay back his aunt and uncle for all their support but is completely unequipped for the 'real world.' After a few months working/getting fired from soul-crushing menial jobs (HS dropout!), he agrees to take 'one last job' with Marko that is 'guaranteed to set them up for life'.

*cough*

This robbery goes off without a hitch! No one is hurt and they make off after hitting a heavily armored Oscorp Transport with a ton of documents/tech that they aim to sell to the highest bidder.

The biggest mystery is that one glowing vial of untested, experimental serum they found...

Unfortunately, Oscorp doesn't take robbery lightly. Marko finds out through contacts that the serum (whatever it is) is too hot to sell on the market, so he instructs Peter to get rid of it so it can't be traced back to them.

Peter, a rational 22-year-old ex-con, 'gets rid of it' by mixing the serum into ink and tattooing it onto his wrist, triggering the start of his mutations.

It takes a bit, but Peter get's all the regular spiderman benefits (webs are organic), plus one more. The serum was created from the venom of the Portia Spider, a hunting/jumping spider known to be uniquely intelligent among arachnids.

Alongside the speed/strength/spideysense, Peter also grows some fangs that secrete a powerful venom.

The venom speeds up the body's processes, working almost like an insane performance booster and enhancing an injected person's strength, speed, and senses for a few hours.

Unfortunately, repeated doses also eventually induce shock, paralysis, and, later, death.

He gives a few samples of it to Marko as an exit fee.

Uncle Ben was suspicious of how Peter suddenly got so much money, but took him on good faith. But, while he was watching the news that covered the Oscorp robbery, connected the dots and had a blowout fight with Peter that ended with him having a cardiac event.

Unfortunately, he did not survive.

Aunt May and Peter were estranged over this for several years.

This event crushes Peter, sobering him up immediately. He goes back and gets his HS diploma, and works on night courses in college.

However, he spends much of his days wandering, angry at himself and what he did. He beats up a mugger one day and realizes that he could be using his powers to back up the faith Ben had in him.

Spiderman is born!

Eventually, he and Aunt May reunite, and their relationship is slowly healing.

A few years later, Peter is on the up. He and Aunt May are close again! He's got a bachelor's in computer science, has a (semi) steady job, and is well-liked as Spiderman by the populace at large. His rogue's gallery is roguing- etc.

Unfortunately, a variant of his venom (developed by Kingpin) hits the streets as a drug. It's favored by both criminals for its performance-enhancing strength, as well as civilians, for the time-slowing sensation/high it gives them.

His girlfriend, Mary Jane, who has been sober for a few years, relapses. Peter, knowing that he can't stop her from getting it on her own, reveals his identity and becomes her main source.

At least, this way, he can control the dosage.

Marko (who sold Peter's venom to Kingpin) manages to fire off his only two brain cells and realizes that Spiderman IS Peter Parker.

Then he outs him to the world because Spiderman made it personal.

Peter's life catches on fire. The entire world is after him. His loved ones have to go into hiding because there's no shortage of criminals and psychopaths who want to get their hands on MJ and Aunt May to get to Spiderman.

Peter ceases to exist. It's not safe anymore. He spends days (weeks? months?) in the suit. Eventually, on the run and burnt out, he pleads his case to Dr. Strange in desperation. (Ala No Way Home)

"Everyone deserves a clean start."

Dr. Strange agrees, but the spell can't work with Peter still existing as part of the equation. So it fires him off into a reality where Peter B. Parker, and by extension Spiderman, never existed.

So how's an ex-con/ex-superhero (for now) supposed to carve a space in a world that never knew him? By finding somewhere that doesn't ask any questions.

And it just so happens, that St. Margaret's School for Wayward Children has a reputation for both being a bar of questionable repute and looking the other way.

Might as well start there.

~~~~~~~~~

Thank you so much for this lovely, lovely ask! I hope this massive lore dump wasn't overkill, but I'm having a lot of fun with this world and wanted to share.

And I offer this lore dump ONLY on the condition that you do not drop whatever you're working on. There is always space for more spideypool in the world, don't deprive us!!!

"They think I’m the least dangerous person in this car, do they? Well, they’re about to learn very differently."

Decided to redraw a moment from On the Getaway Mile by Odaigahara on AO3/ @droidofmay !

This may have taken a ridiculous amount of hours condensed into a few days and I went through it drawing cars and car interiors, but this was an absolute blast to do :D I hope I've done the fic sort of justice.

Process shots and long comparison rambles under the cut!

Welcome to my secret lair!!

I spent roughly... 18 hours working on this, the majority during this week and over the past three days, so I need to share my toils with people <3

Character/car references and page thumbnails! Featuring an incorrect scene placement and bad camera position. I reread the scene and placed it properly in the actual page. I hate drawing cars!! I was actually the most worried about panel placement when I started this— I was a guy who only did non narrative/illustrative panel pages and layout-less comics, but it wasn't that bad with a script! I could separate beats into panels, note which panels should be emphasised/larger, and assembled that into a page.

If you compare the fic with this comic, you can see how much dialogue I edited and moments I cut out. I couldn't fit it all on without having to draw even more pages, I wish I could though! Poor Mumbo only gets one line here. I'm so sorry my darling man <3 I also gave him a slight cyborg design because his implants are really important for his character and I needed some way to visually show that, even if it's not canon/mentioned.

The colouring method for this was really fun! It's similar to my aggie rainbow painting method but with less steps, hence narrow value range. It looks pretty and gets the vibe across well though.

Rapid fire points!

I was planning to do 3 different fic comics! Not anymore!!!

This is absolutely for the hotguy comic zine applications. <3 "Can I try rizzing you up // PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" /ref

I drew page 2 first, then 3, then 1. I think you can tell!

Mumbo is sitting on the wrong side and should have his seatbelt on. He's also not carrying the stolen laptop as described.

It's explicitly noted that Mumbo cannot scan Grian like he can with Scar. Whoops!

Transmissions from the Foundation are via Mumbo and Scar's implants, but I couldn't think of a good way to portray that.

Despite guns and weapons being mentioned, I somehow didn't get the opportunity to draw a single one.

I love hand lettering. I also hate it! I will continue to do it.

Here are the no colour pages as a thank you for scrolling <3

Remind me. In the superhero au love square, who has a crush on who again?

Virgil had a crush on golden boy, but not Roman and Roman has a crush on Virgil but not fear monger

so

Fearmonger —> Goldenboy

Roman —> Virgil

[loafbud-wc]

They say to never meet your heroes...

[seren-dipitous-art]

The golden boy needed a golden throne. I’m just doing my duty. If I had fun drawing a gorgeous superhero that’s just a fortunate side effect.

I couldn’t get this out of my head, and then his brothers showed up, so I guess it’s a series.

Big Four X-Men/Superhero AU?

I'm not familiar with x-men lore so I went for a generic superhero setting, hope you dont mind :]

I imagined Hiccup and Merida are hero partners investigating a shady lab that's doing secret experiments to create mutant humans and animals. They rescued Toothless, Rapunzel and Jack from there!

[dynamic-power]

Okay hear me out.

Do you see the vision???
