Because of that other post I can’t stop thinking about having a parent with superpowers and hiding your own from them

Being able to hide super strength and stuff from your parents easily because with one parent having super strength and one not, they both have kind of a screwed sense on what a normal person can handle

Doing a shitty job hiding them from anyone else who’s not a super themself or routinely around supers

Having your super powered parent be disappointed in you because you “don’t” have powers and constantly being torn between revealing them so your parent is proud of you and spitefully hiding them more because if their love isn’t unconditional then they can fuck off

Constant worry about being found out, which isn’t exactly an unnecessary worry because the super powered parent is probably around a lot of other types of people who might notice

Maybe general disappointment from all those people who expected you to have powers too and torn between spitefully shoving your powers in their face and keeping them hidden for whatever reason you’re hiding them

Always one bad day from accidentally revealing yourself

Prompt: Create a dramedy superhero movie concept about the utter chaos in the aftermath of the death/defeat/retirement of a supervillain. While villainous, the character still enforced certain rules in his relations with heroes and other villains, and his absence causes that semblance of order to break down.

Title: The Follow-up

Logline: Following the sudden retirement of the world's most feared supervillain, Baron Blitzcrank, chaos erupts as rival villains vie for power and forgotten enemies resurface, while a jaded superhero struggles to find purpose in a world without his arch-nemesis.

Characters:

Maximus "Max" Paragon: A weary superhero known as The Paragon, defined by his long-standing rivalry with Baron Blitzcrank.

Dr. Evadne Veridian (The Emerald Enchantress): A flamboyant sorceress and rising star amongst supervillains, determined to claim Blitzcrank's criminal empire.

Agent Stone: A cynical government liaison between superheroes and villainous organizations, tasked with maintaining a fragile peace.

The Baron (voice only): The unseen but ever-present Baron Blitzcrank, relaxing on a tropical island in his retirement, offering snarky commentary via encrypted messages.

Plot:

The news stuns the world: Baron Blitzcrank, the tyrannical supervillain who plagued the city for decades, has announced his retirement. While most rejoice, Max Paragon, The Paragon, feels strangely lost. His entire superhero identity revolved around stopping Blitzcrank.

Power Vacuum:

Without Blitzcrank's iron fist keeping other villains in check, chaos erupts. Dr. Evadne Veridian, a flamboyant sorceress hungry for power, sees an opportunity to seize control. Forgotten enemies crawl out of the woodwork, reigniting old rivalries and jeopardizing city safety.

An Unlikely Alliance:

Max, adrift without his nemesis, is forced to work with Agent Stone, the cynical government liaison who facilitates communication between heroes and villains. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of villainous politics, trying to prevent a full-blown superpowered war.

The Baron's Legacy (or Lack Thereof):

Adding to the chaos are cryptic messages from the Baron himself. Relaxing on a tropical island, he delivers snarky commentary on the situation and throws metaphorical wrenches into the works, seemingly enjoying the unfolding pandemonium.

Climax and Resolution:

As Dr. Veridian launches her final assault on the city, Max rallies other superheroes, finding a renewed sense of purpose not against a single villain but for the good of the city. In a climactic battle, Max confronts Dr. Veridian, utilizing the knowledge of Blitzcrank's tactics gleaned from years of fighting him.

A World Without Villains:

The villains are defeated, the city is safe, but a bittersweet truth emerges. The world needs a certain balance – even a bad kind of balance. Max, with a newfound understanding of heroism, prepares for a future without a singular arch-nemesis, knowing that new threats will inevitably rise. The film ends with a final message from the Baron, hinting at a possible, and hilarious, return from retirement.

Themes:

The importance of order, even from an unlikely source.

Finding purpose beyond defeating a single enemy.

The complex nature of good versus evil and the gray areas in between.

Tone:

The film is a dramedy, balancing humor with the emotional struggles of Max and the challenges of maintaining order in a world of superpowered beings. The Baron's unseen presence and snarky commentary add a layer of dark humor, highlighting the absurdity of the supervillain world.

finally got around to drawing Omen's "creator" and "mentor", the supervillain known as Metamorpheus! They're canonically ever-shifting in appearance, so for this drawing I decided to make them taller than Omen for dramatic effect >:3

I also hope that Omen and her team get to kick this guy's ass at some point in the campaign, as a treat!

Characters: Omen (they/she) and Metamorpheus (any and all pronouns under the sun)
