Worldkiller Wasp

Here’s a little something from late last year that I was working on but didn’t really feel like posting earlier due to all the Kang controversy behind the scenes.

Anyway, it’s just a version of Janet Van Dyne/The Wasp in a Kang-armored version of her suit, inspired by the suit she wears during the 1980’s Secret Wars storyline.

Just thought I would throw it out for us as we wait for any solid updates on the Kang situation. Plus I thought it would be a fun little tidbit for the buildup to Avengers: Secret Wars coming soon.

Hope you like it!

World Killer: Mother Nature

An oil extraction company, after meticulous calculations, discovered a small patch of natural minerals at a shallow depth. Deciding to delve deeper into this discovery, experts lowered cameras and lighting equipment.

What they beheld stunned them to their core. Before them lay underground cities: houses, streets, overpasses, and bridges. By introducing water for a clearer view, the researchers found that most of the structures were in pristine condition, with some devices still operational.

The cities were covered by an unseen dome, which for a long time held back the Earth's pressure. But as years passed, the dome began to weaken. Cracks emerged on its surface, from which stalactites dangled.

The discovery sparked a multitude of debates. The main theory? We aren’t the first civilization on Earth. But who created us? And who destroyed the previous civilization? A theory surfaced that the planet is a living entity, and it buried the ancient cities under the dome. Perhaps, for some reason, the planet and its inhabitants became adversaries. Our task is to uncover that reason.

Kara was supposed to be a Worldkiller.

Let me explain why I wrote Darkness in All Things.

The crux of it really starts with this canon line. In 3x11, Kara ventures to Fort Rozz to find Jindah Kol Rozz - the priestess witch who might know how to defeat Reign.

It's there that Jindah - who emphasizes that there is "darkness in all things, in every soul you know" - reveals that Reign is not the only worldkiller. The others will awake, and unite beneath the banner of Reign.

The Power. The Pestilence. The Purity.

But who is Power?

To answer who is Power, we may need to start with who are the worldkillers.

In the comics, the worldkillers were created by Zor-El (who also experimented on his daughter). There were actually many worldkillers before Krypton's destruction, including Reign and her three followers.

This show has a way of reinventing comic plots. The black mercy plot, Red Son, World's Finest - all comic lore that was reimagined for Arrowverse Kara.

In season 3, we see Erica Durance (famous for Smallville's Lois Lane) take on the role of Alura. This in itself implies something big for Alura. It's not too much of a stretch to think that maybe she would take Zor-El's place as creator of the worldkillers.

And it would sure explain Sam's nightmare above, which we see at the very end of 3x01, and is never addressed again.

So we have a hint that there may be a fourth worldkiller named Power, and that perhaps Alura would take Zor-El's role in the comic of having created them. Why Kara?

Kara dreams of the worldkillers - for reasons she doesn't quite understand. But she only dreams of three. If Jindah says there are four, why don't we see the fourth in Kara's dream?

I've spoiled it already, of course: the dreamer is one.

So why didn't we see Worldkiller Kara?

It's important to note that an abusive showrunner was fired in the middle of the season - prompting rewrites & the odd midspring break.

It explains why the nightmare with Alura was never revisited, why Lena wasn't made evil despite the showrunner saying otherwise, and why Sam survived when the plot & casting call hinted at Sam's death & Ruby being adopted by Alex. It also explains why the show emphasized Alura's line from the pilot - you will do extraordinary things - 3x02 Triggers.

I could be wrong, of course - but it's still an idea that ate at me. What would it look like for Kara have to wrestle with a destructive purpose? How would the team defeat the worldkillers if their strongest fighter was one of them? What would that mean for the rift that was developing between Lena and Kara with the kryptonite and spying?

... which is why I wrote Darkness in All Things.

Something something "the episode of Midnight Burger where only half of the people could see the world-killer asteroid coming towards earth while the other half couldn't", something something "only half of the main characters being able to pronounce Leif's name correctly while the other half had NO idea and could not be corrected".... There's something about the signs being there all along of damage to the fabric of space time....

-I managed to finally contact the HRA division with me to stop firing at your people. For the love of Christ-the-Buddha get your asshole commander away from me she won't stop screaming slurs in languages I don't understand at me over the comms channel we're stuck in

Who in the-?! Oh, wait, shit, that's right, I forgot you were still awake in there. Christ-the-Buddha Almighty, that scared me.

Are you sure that's still Kennedi screaming? She (or, rather, her unconscious - and hopefully not lifeless - body) and her molten wreck of a Caliban have been with us at MSMC-148's drop site for like two hours now, waiting for pickup. Slipshod managed to pry your casket outta that slag heap you used to call a Genghis Mk. 1 and get you connected to a "life support" of sorts on one of their backup generators, but if you can still hear Kennedi's voice screaming bloody murder at you, then your systems might be fried worse than we thought. (No clue if that sort of thing is fixable or not...)

Hopefully the Albatross will be here soon. Our distress beacon is still up and running, and they should more than have our coordinates by now. We'll all be out of here soon. (I hope.)

good options for improvised prosthetics? my arms got severely burnt and amputated because of a fault in my worldkiller, i dont have access to a printer right now so i had to retrofit a tertiary arm where my arm used to be for now

+ Well, okay—

+ As far as "improvised" goes, you may be shit out of luck. There aren't great options for "improvised" limbs, especially hands, and the tertiary arm solution you've got going on is absolutely the best you've got until you can get medical attention. Even if you reach a printer first, don't do jack until you've had your wounds cleaned, sealed, and adequately healed; If the damage isn't too extensive, most people opt for organic limb replacement instead, because that's just objectively easier (not to mention healthier).

+ Your situation sounds horrifying, I hope you're alright, pilot— Remember, never be afraid to send for help.

Hello HRA, Recently a squadmate of mine had their TBK sustain suite shot through. Rather than replacing it with a similar model, they have elected to bolt together 5 commercial grade airconditioning systems of assorted make and model together. I'm rather worried that they are going to explode when their ramjet laden genghis mk1 next takes off. I've so far been unable to convince them that even miltary technology 5 centuries old still adheres to greater tolerance standards than a regular out of the box AC. Could you perhaps provide some words of discouragement, or at least tell me if this has a snowball's chance in a reactor of working?

Buddy. Pal. I am not able to beam common sense across the Omninet. If your mate has taken a look at a heat management system the size of a truck and come to the conclusion that it could be replaced by a handful of microwaves, then they are beyond anyone's ability to help.

I know those machines like my own nameplate and I still almost died twice (and actually died once, but that was after I got a Lich) refurbishing newly scavenged ones.

You should make preparations for his funeral. Maybe seeing the rest of the squad all in black composing an epitaph will make some gears in their head start to turn.

All Of History Is My Weapon

With the news that Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is no more, here’s a follow-up piece I did for what was hoping to have seen if they continued the Kang Storyline.

{Basically I was hoping for a Secret-Invasion-esque storyline with The Council of Kangs replacing the Sacred Timeline’s heroes with their own more dangerous versions, sowing distrust among the Avengers before invading and conquering the universe}

I know it’s a long shot, but it probably would have been cool. And before I forget, here’s the lineup for the Kang Collective seen here.

Peter Parker/Timespinner

Sue Storm/Kang the Conqueror

Tony Stark/Iron Prince

Kamala Khan/Kamala Kang

Nathaniel Richards/Kang the Conqueror

Peter Quill/Star-Kang

Nebula/Kang-Nebula

Nathaniel Richards/Kid Immortus

Janet Van Dyne/Worldkiller Wasp

Let me know what you guys think and I hope you like it!

(The lines above are canon.)

Kara curled up against the wall, head forward resting on her knees, taking slow breaths from her place inside Lena’s containment cell. “You’re the last worldkiller,” Alex had said, as Kara felt powercuffs around her wrists.

It explained… too much. Why Jindah had named three worldkillers to come after Reign. Why Kara didn’t see them all in her vision. Why… why she would have strange dreams of her mother’s magic.

She’s free too, Kara mourned.

Her mind drifted to the soothsayers - not just the whispers on Krypton that spoke of an eternal darkness, but the myths on Earth that she had discovered after landing. In some stories, the world was created and destroyed over and over again. Some cultures believed the world would be destroyed by fire - in others, by ice. And in yet another myth, there were four harbingers to the apocalypse.

But they didn’t arrive on horseback - they arrived in kryptonian pods.

Kara tilted her head back, feeling the pang in her chest of irreparable frustration, inescapable fear. She had fought so hard to understand herself - how Kara Zor-El could become Kara Danvers could become Supergirl, how each aspect of herself held a story, but never formed a complete picture. And she wished she could be Kara, just Kara. But at least those competing versions of herself could coexist. This one…

Her mind drifted back to Sam, and Julia and Grace - to how they transformed, how they lost control. Kara knew in her soul that Lena and Alex would try everything to save her. But there was no guarantee that she would be separable like Sam. She would certainly let them try.

And if they couldn’t - she knew what needed to be done. I’m Power, Kara thought. And I won’t let myself destroy this planet.
