Ok I have woken up and had food.
Consider:
The Justice League have to defend earth from an oncoming alien invasion, but at the same time there had to prevent a summoning for an ancient evil in the form of a Ghost King.
The time frame for both events was exceedingly short.
So what did they decide to do?
Interrupt the summoning and instead make a deal with the Ghost King to aid them in the alien invasion.
When they do summon him, however, the Ghost King seemed offput that he was even summoned at all, despite the previous track record of him waging war with various worlds.
Pariah, looking at Superman: Ah, I have heard about you, child of Steel.
Superman: [Confusion]
So the Ghost King agrees to help them, to repay a favor that was owned to his parents. Everyone, even Superman thought it had to due with his parents on Krypton that, ya'know, exploded and are questioning what kind of thing they did to get the Ghost King to owe them a favor.
When the day of the Alien invasion came too, they expected either the Ghost King coming down himself, one of his soldiers or a small portion of his army.
Oh, they got an army alright. But not the army they expected.
The Ghost King himself even appeared, in Farmer's attire no less. He struck that pose where a person leaned back and looked to the sky and shouted a war cry, followed by loud, maniacal laughter.
Pariah: GO FORTH MY CHILDREN! DROWN THE EARTH IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR FOES AND BRING HELL DOWN UPON THOSE WHO DARED TEST YOUR MIGHT!
And what followed after his war cry was a flood of horses, both living and undead, covered in ghostly armor that ran through the streets and ascended into the sky to fend off the alien invasion throughout the city.
Of course, the Justice League also fought alongside the Ghost King's 'army' and succeeded in defending earth from the alien invasion. Surprisingly, or perhaps not surprisingly, none of the Ghost King's horses faced any significant injury.
Of course, the news took to it like sharks that smelled a drop of blood within the sea currents. Questions of who the meta is, where they found him and if he were a newfound member of the Justice League, some of the rich even asked if the Justice League could acquire them one of the horses.
Not that Pariah Dark, resident Ghost King and Farmer on earth, would let anyone by any of his children. They wouldn't even know how to or put in the proper care for them!
The favor he owned to Superman's parents weren't of his Kryptonian heritage, no. It was instead a one-sided repayment to the Kent's for gifting him a few rare living horses he didn't know how to acquire, they said he didn't need to pay them back, but he couldn't just leave such considerate and valuable gifts such as these without giving something in return.
Such opportunity came in the form of defending their home planet from an alien invasion.
On another note, the Kent's recognized the man on the internet is currently going crazy about as one of their neighbors. They were worried when they saw him on the scene, and after asked if he was okay.
Pariah(In human form): Foolish mortals, your worries on unfounded.
Clock 'well versed in Pariah decoding' work(in human form): He's very touched by your concern.
Pariah, feeling his face heat up in what human's call blush: My love!

Soulmate AU: First Words + End of the World ; requested by @justwannabecat!
Duke has long since accepted that he doesn’t have great luck. Most things in his life tend to go wrong very quickly, or complicate situations he was already struggling in (see: being a meta and getting his powers in the middle of a fight). Having an incomprehensible soulmark is an unpleasant discovery on the morning of his nineteenth birthday, but not entirely unexpected.
He had been hoping for something simple, a common one like hi it’s nice to meet you or sorry, didn’t mean to bump into you.
What Duke gets instead isn’t even words. 
Scrawled across his left hipbone is a string of symbols glowing a faint green. They’re not in a language he recognizes, and the symbols seem to move, shifting ever so slightly so they look different every time he blinks.
“Well,” he says after a solid five minutes of staring into the mirror, unable to rip his eyes off his soulmate’s words, “I hope theirs looks nicer than mine.”
He spends his birthday in a bit of a daze, enjoying time spent with the Waynes and his friends. It’s hard to be fully present when he’s all too aware of the soreness on his hipbone flaring up each time he moves. It’s hard to keep his mind off of it, wanting nothing more than to search for answers, unravel the mystery of his soulmate’s first words.
“Something on your mind?” Jason asks, as the attention shifts off of him for a brief moment as Harper and Cullen get ready to leave and everyone rushes to give their goodbyes,
Duke shrugs, carefully keeping his hands still so they don’t drift to where his soulmark is hidden beneath his clothes. “Yeah. Nothing you need to worry about, though.”
Jason looks him over critically, then nods. 
Duke resigns himself to being investigated by the rest of the Bats. If he’s off enough that Jason had to comment on it, then that means everyone’s noticed and are trying to figure out what’s happened. They’re not going to ask him, because they think he needs space to work through whatever’s got him so distracted, but they’re also not going to just do nothing. 
This won’t be the first time they’ve done this. Duke expects it. Frankly, it would be stranger and much more concerning if they didn’t try to dig up all his secrets the moment they caught wind of him hiding something.
He’ll tell them about getting his soulmark soon. Soulmarks can appear on any birthday between the ages of thirteen to twenty five; they might suspect he got his, but they won’t be able to confirm.
For now, Duke can keep his soulmate’s first words (whatever that gibberish means) to himself.
He makes the decision then and there, as his birthday party winds down, to tell them in a week.
And because his luck is abysmal, a world ending threat hits five days later and suddenly there is no time for soulmarks and first words.
Duke is the last to arrive at the Fortress of Solitude, hitching a ride from Superboy to get there. The biting cold and the harsh winds keep the place far from the reaches of the rest of humanity, surrounded by nothing but deadly white. 
Desolate as the landscape is, it’s still in better shape than the rest of the world.
Things would be better if it was alien invaders. It would be more bearable if some sort of cosmic colossus tried to eat their solar system. At least then there would be something physical that they could fight.
Instead, the world is breaking apart, the sky and earth both fracturing to reveal glowing green faultlines. Timelines are getting mixed up and muddled; just yesterday, Duke had to evacuate a building that had been demolished forty years ago, then stop a gang leader who wouldn’t be born for another eight years from taking over a neighborhood block and holding the residents hostage. Strange creatures are appearing out of nowhere, crawling out of shadows and tide pools and from beneath the roots of trees, all horrible, monstrous things that go after people with teeth and claws. 
The Flashes and the rest of the speedsters are nowhere to be found. The last time anyone get communication from them, it had been Impulse sending Red Robin a glitchy, barely audible video chat saying something along the lines of “trying to fix—unstable—keep us here—never been alive before.” All things that are very concerning to hear, made worse by the fact that no one had been able to contact them at all. 
The quiet loneliness of the Fortress of Solitude is a welcome change from the constant screaming, death, and destruction that’s taken over Gotham as well as the rest of the world. Last he heard, even Justice League China was at the end of their rope. 
“In here,” Superboy instructs, guiding Duke through the halls. There’s no time to look around at Superman’s secret base. All his focus is stuck on staying conscious for another few hours to see if this gathering of heroes is able to find a solution to the world breaking apart.
Batman stands besides Superman. Both nod at Duke when he enters the room. Wonder Woman is watching over John Constantine as he writes something on the floor, muttering under his breath. The rest of the Justice League lean against each other, visibly exhausted as they wait for Constantine to finish up what he’s doing. A few other heroes are here too, and Duke goes to join them where they lean against a wall, fighting to keep their eyes open.
“Hey,” he greets, voice low. “Hanging in there?”
Wonder Girl sighs. “Somehow. I don’t know how much longer we can do this. There’s just too much…”
“We’ll get through this. I mean, even without us out there, plenty of civilians have formed rescue and relief groups to help with keeping things under control,” Speedy says, gently knocking her arm against Wonder Girl’s. “We just gotta keep going. No giving up.”
“What’s this plan, anyways? I just heard that they needed me here to some attempt to fix things.”
“Well, without the speedsters, you’re kind of the only one who can help with time and power related stuff,” Speedy says.
“That’s definitely a stretch. My powers don’t really have anything to do with time. It’s all just light and shadow.”
Speedy shrugs. “Well, you’re here, aren’t you? Too late to complain about it now.”
Duke doesn’t get a chance to say anything else when a loud clap catches his attention. The entire room goes still and silent as Constantine stands up and surveys the circle and symbols he’s written, taking up an entire corner of the large room. 
“Alright,” he says. “Time to get started. Remember, let me do the talking. If you have to speak, it’s only to back me up or when a question is directed to you.”
Batman nods to the other Justice Leaguers, and suddenly everyone is falling into formation behind Constantine. Duke hurries to join them with Wonder Girl and Speedy, taking a place on the edge of the group where he’s a little closer to the circle than the others. 
Constantine begins chanting. His voice is steady though none of the sounds make any sense, refusing to form themselves into recognizable words, and the air the in the room feels heavier. The chalk circle glows a blinding white and Duke can see magic swirling through the air, his power kicking in the let him watch as reality tears and a glowing star in the shape of a boy comes out of it.
Duke blinks, forcing his power down. The hypnotic swirls of magic fade from sight, but the boy still glows, bright and terrible as he floats above the circle and surveys them all. A crown engulfed in blue flame hovers above his head and the fabric of the cosmos is draped over his shoulders as a cape. 
Just from presence alone, Duke can tell that this figure is now the strongest existence in this universe. He hopes this boy king is kind; no one, not even Superman, would be able to beat him in a fight.
The boy king opens his mouth and speaks, but it’s not words than comes out. A strange static like sound emerges, but light and almost melodic. 
His left hipbone burns.
Duke gasps, hand flying down to it, and the boy king’s gaze snaps to meet his.
The world stands still. No one moves. No one dares to breathe.
And then the boy king drops to the floor and walks out of the circle.
“I thought you said that would hold him!” Batman hisses at Constantine, who is looking more and more distressed.
“It was supposed to! I wrote it specifically to hold the King of the Infinite Realms!”
The boy king glances at Constantine. This time, when he speaks, it’s in smooth English. “Did you name the king in your circle?”
“Yeah, I named Pariah Dark… Bloody hell, you ain’t him, are ya?”
“No,” the boy king smiles, “I’m Phantom.”
The cape and crown fade away, and suddenly it’s not an all powerful, terrifying king standing before them, but a young man with white hair and green eyes who looks Duke’s age. Like he could be any other new generation hero in the room. 
“Phantom,” Duke repeats lightly, just under his breath, but it makes Phantom look at him again.
He walks forward, ignoring the other heroes’ aborted attempts to stop him, coupled with Constantine’s frantic back off motion happening behind him. Phantom leaves the circle and the Justice Leaguers behind to stand before Duke, a soft smile on his face.
“Hi,” he says softly, “I dreamed of you.”
“You—what?”
“I dreamed of you. I have for years now. To think that being summoned was what made us meet—” Phantom breaks off into a breathless laugh.
Duke swallows, then drops his had from where it had been pressed against his hip. “So we’re really—? You have my first words too?”
In the corner of his eye, he sees Batman stiffen up. Maybe he should have just told them the day after his birthday, but in Duke’s defense, this is the definition of extenuation circumstances. 
“First words?” Phantom repeats, “Is that… Do we have different soulmate connections?”
“I think so. Here, everyone gets the first words their soulmates say to them appearing somewhere on their body.”
Phantom’s gaze darts down to Duke’s hip, then back up. “Oh. I get dreams. Where I’m from, we dream of our soulmates, and the closer we get to meeting them, the more we remember the dreams.”
“And you dreamed of me.”
“I did.”
“As touching as this is,” Constantine interrupts, and Duke gets to watch as Phantom rolls his eyes, “We summoned you here for a reason. Our world is falling apart at the seams and we need someone powerful, from the Realms, to help us fix it.”
“Okay.”
“...What do you mean ‘okay’?”
“I’ll help,” Phantom says.
“Just like that? No deal to be made, no price to be paid?”
“Just like that. I’m not one for deals anyways. If I can help, then I will. But I do want to see what the problem is with my soulmate by my side, if you don’t mind.”
Batman steps in, fixing Duke with a steady gaze, a barely noticeable tilt of his head. “Signal?”
“Yeah I’ll go with him. Of course I will. The sooner the better, in fact, because everything’s gone to shit.” Duke turns to Phantom, taking hold of one of his hands. “It is really bad out there,” he warns, “If you need help—”
“I’ll ask for help from others in the Realms,” Phantom says. “No offense or anything, but if it’s really that bad, I doubt living mortals will be able to do much to fix things. It’s why I was summoned, right?”
“Right. Let’s get to it, then.”
There’s a flash of mischief in Phantom’s eyes, and cheeky grin stealing across his face for a moment, before he says, “Aye aye, captain!” and picks Duke up like he weighs nothing and flies up through the ceiling.
Duke is able to hear everyone’s surprised, panicked shouts before they’re outside the Fortress of Solitude and Phantom is flying them away. He only needs a few directions from Duke before he finds the first of the large fractures in the sky.
“Yikes,” is all he says, which is not a great thing to hear. “I think I know how to fix it, though. We’ll need to do a little investigating as to who, exactly, started messing around with reality, but once we find the source, it’ll be an easy fix.”
“That’s the best news I’ve heard all week.”
“Even better than meeting your soulmate?”
“I haven’t slept for more than four hours all week. Knowing there’s an end in sight beats everything else.”
Phantom laughs, throwing his head back and Duke can’t help but drink in the sight of him, so ethereal and bright and full of life. “Fair enough! Got any ideas as to where we should start?”
“I’ve got an entire crew of detective vigilantes,” Duke replies. He’s not taking any more chances. No more waiting to talk about important things; he messed up by keeping his soulmark to himself, so he needs to make sure everyone meets his soulmate before shit goes south again. 
“Let’s go find them, then!”
They take off again, soaring through the skies that are barely holding themselves together. 
The world is still ending, and every hero is being stretched thin, but held carefully in Phantom’s arms, racing head first into a solution, Duke can’t help but feel that everything’s going to be alright now. 
He’s had enough bad luck. Now, his soulmate with him, bearing the title of King with grace, things are finally starting to look up.

Memento Mori - DPxDC
What was beyond death. Was there anything at all? Was there nothing?
That was what he always wondered.
When Clark was a child, he looked up to his fictional hero: Danny Phantom. A half-dead guy in a comic book series that led to the most bisexual awakenings in the century.
Clark liked to go back and reread the comic books from Issue #1 (they were fairly short, but all parts of an “episode”, almost like those ads on shows, but the wait time was every two weeks). He tended to read them all in one sitting, and yet oddly enough, never disturbed as he murmured the made-up summoning spell under his breath.
He could’ve sworn he had been going through them for over an hour and not twenty minutes.
It was Phantom who inspired him to continue being Superman in his darkest moments. He also considered himself physical proof that Danny’s palette swap was enough to hide his identity.
The glasses ARE enough.
When Clark found out he had a clone, he was ecstatic to be able to teach Conner anything everything, to answer any questions his little brother had.
Danielle “Dani” Phantom and her awaited return in “Issue #46 D-stabilized” caused him to become a mama bear to Conner out of the fear he would melt within a few weeks. But it wasn’t like anyone at the Watchtower had to know that small detail.
Getting married to Lois was the best day of his life, the day of Jon’s birth also fighting for that first place spot in his mind.
He had a clone brother, a wonderful wife, a beautiful son, and an amazing group of friends that work together to protect the planet he calls home.
But everything started to fall apart when a protest against metas took it too far, Jon’s powers started to develop and he was seen accidentally tripping, falling, and catching himself by hovering a few inches above the pavement.
Jon said he considered himself lucky nothing scarred. He laughed everything off when it came to the topic.
But it shook Clark, Lois, and Conner to the core.
Memento mori.
It reminded Superman that despite his impenetrable skin, Death can come at any moment. Even for him.
—————————
When Danny was a little boy, he dreamt of reaching the stars, he wanted to be able to touch the moon, explore Mars, and roam the galaxy he resides in and beyond.
He read these comic books of a league of heroes, a team with space cops, super powered humans, a man dressed in a bat suit that was more effective at capturing rogues and villains than some of the powered members, aliens, and so much more.
He flipped through the weekly published comics, learning to read better than most at a young age. He had two favorites, Superman and Martian Manhunter.
Danny wanted to explore the stars like his heroes. He wanted to be able to fight as well as the big Bat. He wanted superpowers. He wanted to help people. He wanted to fight his own set of supervillains. He wanted to be able to succeed and be loved.
Oh how he got everything he wanted but the last.
Tucker and Sam were the only reason he hadn’t broken yet, the reason he was still standing.
The anti-ecto acts, the GIW, Vlad, Pariah Dark, and his- Jack and Maddie’s sadistic comments about ghosts were the last straw.
The hero always wins… they don’t die to the evil they want to stop… right..?
Right..?
The sound of a scraping scalpel, the buzz of the lights, and the squeals of pleasure - as his ghostly heart was found again and again and prodded again and again - filled his ears for an unknown length of time.
His cries for help were never answered until a summoning pulled at his core, it was a personal calling, someone had managed to find his calling card.
The tears of relief stung his eyes as the dissection table with his body strapped down to it was sucked into a summons portal.
He was spat out in front of kids, most likely teenagers, due to the shrieks of horror and surprise.
Oh… oh how he prayed to the Ancients that he’d live to see another day as a tears slipped out of his eyes.
Memento mori.
——————————
Jon found out about his comic book collection and wanted to show Damian.
Clark hummed as he typed up an official report on a rogue attack to send to the Watchtower.
His blood ran cold when he heard his son scream from over in Gotham.

Danny Phantom meets Superman. More accurately I should say that Danny Fenton meets Clark Kent.
Let me make this clear cause people seem to forget this: superman is smart. Clark kent is a very intelligent guy. Hes an INVESTIGATIVE journalist. He works with Lois Lane whos a multiple Pultizer prize winner and you know damn well that Lois wouldn’t work with anyone that cant keep up with her in both wits and smarts. He’s good at his job and in some comics he gets Pulitzer Prizes from some of his articles as well. Dude is dumb but he’s smart if you get what I’m saying. High Int. Low Wis.
With that in mind, During an assignment by Perry White, Lois and Clark meet the Fentons in their Amnesty residence to get some quotes on an article that discusses “Everything we thought didn’t exist is now real. Superheroes, Aliens, even Vampires, so why do we not Believe in Ghosts?”
Clark Kent spots Danny and notices instantly that MANY things are wrong with this child. His shoulders are hunched in a way that is intentional and tensed. Like he doesn’t know if he should fight or flee. His eyes are darting around and constantly taking in their surroundings like he’s waiting for something to barge in. His heart is beating far slower than it should. The kid intentionally makes his chest rise and fall but he’s not breathing in any oxygen. All of those are concerning but they can happen in metas. The thing that isn’t normal is that Clark can’t hear any of Danny’s other organs working. Like the kid is a revitalized corpse and his body only thought to bring back half of its needed functions.
So Clark does some digging. He doesn’t want to tell any of the Justice League because this isn’t a Superman job, this is a job for Clark Kent. He gets some help from Oracle and with her word that she won’t say anything to batman, He agrees to update her regularly about the kids situation.
Oracle sends over some VERY concerning documents from an organization called “The Ghost Investigation Ward”. Oracle tells Clark that she’s working on tipping off the Bats and Birds so they can help dismantle the organization.
While sifting through the documents Clark comes across a profile of a “Danny Phantom”. As I said, Clark isn’t stupid. There is definitely a profile of Danny Fenton as well since he’s the son of two world renown ghost hunters. He puts the two and two together and uncovers just the horrible treatment that Phantom has been receiving from his parents, the government, and his peers. Clark is outraged and can’t just stand aside and let this kid suffer. So he makes another trip to the Fenton residence under the guise of needing another quote and sits Danny and Jazz down and tells him that he knows of the terrible lab safety, the immoral experiments his parents do on the regular, the neglect of the kids in pursuit of scientific discovery. He knows and he wants to help. Clark tells Danny and Jazz that there is an apartment available right nextdoor from his and that he can help them get to a safer location and apply for emancipation.
The Fenton kids are shocked at this guy and his immensely kind heart. Danny knows something is up though. Something is up with Clark Kent. He looks like all his life would be spent in the gym when he isn’t at work and yet Danny can’t find a thing on Clarks interest in working out. His baggy clothes somewhat cover up his muscles but his frame is far too wide to be hidden. Clarks heartbeat is slightly faster than the average persons. No human eyes could be that startlingly sky blue. And Danny knows that he has seen Clarks face somewhere but he cant put a pin on it.
The Fenton kids agree and they get brought to metropolis and the emancipation case is no problem with the evidence Clark managed to collect. The kids get the apartment next to Clarks and Clark helps them grow and get better mentally and situationally. Clark knows that in a way he’s trying to make up for his neglect on Connor but he still knows that helping these kids is the right decision.
After a month or so, Clark and the Fenton kids have a rhythm of meeting at each others apartments, getting doted over to make sure that the fentons are well fed and have everything they need and are getting settled into their new life.
Clark hasn’t told the league. Oracle keeps her promise to keep the Fentons out of Batman and the Justice League’s radar. Clark knows that he will have to tell them soon eventually. He knows that things like this wont last. He tries his best to keep these kids happy and support them how an actual caring parent should act.
A few months into the Fentons stay in Metropolis on a cool autumn afternoon, Danny is sitting on a beanbag chair reading a ratty old book that Clark lent him as Clark is typing away on his computer writing up an article for the Daily Planet when Danny looks over to Clark and says,
“I’m Phantom.”
Clark pauses typing and shoots a small smile towards danny, “I know.”
Danny nods in relieved acceptance as Clark straightens up from his hunced over position on his computer.
He pulls back his shirt collar slightly to show the blue suit and red cape. “I’m Superman.”
Danny looks at him and smiles, “I know.”
They both just sit and continue reading and writing with soft smiles on their faces. Comforted at the exchange and that it’s finally out there and eachother knew.
After a while Danny’s obsession gets to be too much. He tells Clark about it and that he has to find a way to sate his obsession of protecting and Clark accepts that it was only a matter of time and invites him to meet the League.
When Superman brings Danny to the Watchtower, saying that the rest of his fellow superheroes were shocked would be an understatement. The Man of Steel and this ghost kid are talking like a father and son.
To say that Batman was pissed that he wasn’t informed of this child is also an understatement. But there is also some amusement and respect under that frustration. Superman managed to keep this kid under wraps and didn’t even alert Batman. Superman smirking and saying under his breath to him “Looks like the World's Greatest Detective isn’t so great huh?” Makes Batman respect the man even more.
In the Watchtower, Danny meets up with Teen Titans/The Team/Whatever They’re Called Now, and meets Conner. Conner is understandably pissed and spiteful that Danny got to have Superman as a father figure.
Conner knows that Superman treating Danny this way is definitely a way of him trying to make up for the faults and breaks he had with his parental relationship with Conner. he agrees with himself that he shouldn’t hate Danny for having Superman as a Dad and the two get along like tinder and matches. Connor still has a grudge against Superman don’t get me wrong, just not as much as before.
Sometimes while the League is in battle, Superman likes to just look for Danny and watch him hold his own against world ending threats. Danny is now truly confident and it’s no longer a facade. He’s no longer hunching into himself to look smaller. He laughs more often now and seems to be genuinely happy. Superman fondly looks at his son as his kids eyes flicker with green fire as he says a shitty ice pun and freezes Metallo in his tracks with ghostly ice.

I’m the #1 “Meta Knight can cook” truther btw. Before I even knew that the English dub of the anime changed the scene completely from a serious moment about war making Sword and Blade envious of domestic lives to a scene making fun of Meta Knight’s cooking, I still denied the idea that he is helpless with food.
I like to think that Meta Knight is a alien and (because of implications in the anime) he has visited many, many planets in the past. He has learned the cooking methods and techniques and recipes of ten different alien civilizations. Possibly even more.
When traveling in deep space on the Halberd for months, he does not always got to choose the food he resupplies with. They do not have the luxury of going “oh I want a apple” when visiting a market ten galaxies away from the Gamble Galaxy. ESPECIALLY since many fruit and veg from the Gamble Galaxy is prohibited from trade in fear that blights like Dark Matter will spread through trade. It is VITAL to the survival of himself and his crew to have a expansive knowledge about alien foods.
He is a renowned culinary genius on Bleepy Star because he figured out how to make the Blorpy Blink Fruit edible and it solved world hunger on that planet. This guy has eaten many alien meats and fruits and slimes and he has also figured out how to make the best desserts from those ingredients too.
However. Meta Knight’s VERY alien taste in food and his very, very out of this world method of cooking makes Popstar residents who have never had off-planet food question what Meta Knight is doing. They genuinely think he can not cook. Everyone on Popstar is genuinely convinced he is a shit cook. When they learned that Meta Knight has never seen a humble wooden spoon (wood is a commodity rarer than diamonds in the universe) but he still insists he can cook, they just think it is denial born out of pride.
Dedede genuinely thought Meta Knight had the worst taste in food until he had dinner with an alien monarch who made the king consider that food outside of Popstar exists.
Meta Knight honestly thinks that Popstar residents have a just okay taste in food, and he often misses the taste of food from beyond this star. However, he will admit that the fruit and dessert on Popstar might be the finest he has tried yet.
This isn’t to say that you can’t have hcs about MK being a complete cooking failure, those are great!! I just love to think beyond “haha funny” sometimes, and think about it in relation to my personal world building! Also it’s funny to imagine that Meta takes everyone on a off-planet trip and they are shocked when his signature inedible slop turns out to be a famous dish across several galaxies.

Anyway, has anyone analyzed the usage in Resident Alien of getting coffee for someone as a symbol of emotional intimacy and vulnerability or am I already signing up for a second watch through to research this meta

"The logical conclusion to Kratos fighting every pantheon." (I really, really like this concept, only because of how batshit insane Lore acc Jesus is strictly from a power-scaling perspective and despite everyone on the Planet knowing who Jesus is, most have NO idea what he is.)
Tumblr media
not a bad concept, though they wouldn't have a reason to fight beyond Jesus' 2nd mission:
Off the top of my head, according to lore, he projects a sword out of his mouth, while riding a flaming horse or some shit, the sky split open (meaning the fabric of reality is breached) hence commanding legions of Angles hording through (which from text & recent visual interpretation actually look like Lovecraftian demons) to literally conquer Earth. like an interdimensional alien warlord pressing the sleep button on Humanity.
Tumblr media
The popular central theme of this guy is he doesn't die or live in a traditional sense, and the only reason he allowed himself to be killed was to be a martyr by choice, to make a point.
Give humanity a couple thousand years to find "his/the way" supposedly, otherwise according to lore, his comeback is "The End" of post-modern humanity itself than it is the literal end of humans, I have to read it again tho.
Then another millennia of apocalyptic fallout. No nukes, no armor, just this guy showing up.
Tumblr media
Not only would biblically acc angels be a horrifying aspect to put in a game, but Jesus himself is actually a terrifying entity despite the nice guy nature humans took for granted at the time.
Tumblr media
Technically he can't be beaten, because everyone knows his mortality. Nobody knows what he can actually do, which is everything. He's the original Gary Stu.
We're not even factoring in the Quantum intelligence that is "God" or even the Holy Spirit which is like a glorified proxy medium. All the Angels, their ranks, their subordinates, etc.
That game would have to be psychological/cosmic horror epic themed, surrealism.
most People only know the Sunday school tales of the human side of prophets and judges, the people God used to manipulate lives to set a narrative. From beginning to end.
Tumblr media
Going by the book, Humanity is the original (The SIMS) game.
The BIBLE? In it's raw form, it's a tale of hope, flawed characters, redemption, perseverance, with an over-arching horror story subtext. Constant genocides at God's hands, only for Humanity to pick up the slack without his help.
And In a meta sense, in theory, WE ARE The Cliffhanger.
God itself doesn't reside in Heaven strictly, like Zeus or Odin.
That's just where the followers go to honor "it."
Jesus likely wouldn't want to kill Kratos, but if this is post Revelations arc Jesus. This would definitely be the game Kratos dies in cosmic epic glory.
Because that Jesus isn't preaching love, he brings war, and his physical form is G.O.N.E.
Tumblr media
I would love to see Kratos go up against a straight up hax-ego centric narcissist being that can't bleed, be reached or touched. Having no form.
And it's only form, his kinder nicer, human self, his Son. In canon is no more. Jesus as a physical being that can be hurt, doesn't exist anymore.
(JESUS), unbeknownst to most "Christians", actually existed simultaneously throughout the Bible since Genesis/possibly pre-Gen.
Meaning this guy CHRIST, can pass through time itself. Because he did, does, will do.
I shit you not.
Superman RED Son's (novel) ending plottwist has NOTHING ON this.
Tumblr media
That's what i mean by "-doesn't die or live in a traditional sense", the guy existed before he was born, before he did, before he resec himself. Think about that.
Kratos needed to go on a whole ass side-quest to go through time. Jesus can just do it, technically the fabric of space-time is something he can possess, re-write, or see. Because REALLY think about what it means to exist in the past, present, and future: At the same time.
The past is gone for humans, we always live in the present. But Jesus still exists in back then. As we're in the present, waiting for the future, where he ALSO exists.
See how broken that is?
Tumblr media
How in the actual fuck, do you "fight" that?
Everyone says the meme "Flash can go back and kill you as a baby". Jesus apparently can do the same thing. He is simultaneous.
When the text states God is everywhere, that includes timelines, dimensions, etc. This is a beyond 10th dimensional being.
Manifested himself in flesh.
Defied death after 3 days, not as a rule, but just to make a fucking point. That shit is both petty and scary.
The (Pan) in Pantheon.
Post-Revelations Jesus IS THE God, of War. And death.
That would be the sheer irony of pulling this off as a game
This is why it claims to be "THE" God. The thing, It, is literally every superpower you can imagine. We're talking serious beyond Haruhi Suzumiya+Dr.Manhattan+Cthulhu on steroids type shit.
no god of the sea, no god of dreams, none of that shit. This one wanted the title of "THE".
Alpha--Omega, period.
This thing, is next level. The religion aspect is what people turn away from, including me, but from a strictly "kaiju"/Cosmic being standpoint, "Yahweh", "Elohim", "Christ" is a serious monster.
Tumblr media
Unless Kratos drops in during the NT or before OT even happens, because again Jesus existed during & thus by proxy before Genesis.
I used to think the whole book was corny but the Shit is mind-numbing apocalyptic, straight insanity.
Kratos cannot afford to be holding back with this one, even if he doesn't, it won't help.
The problem is most god's Kratos has fought has had physical silhouette's one way or another
Or that time he fought Zeus' ghost
or he’s had some kind of weapon to tangibly touch spirits. (GOW3)
This one, pantheon and all, is a whole different beast. These things are omi-dimensional avatars-- Vibrating between dimensions because reality is just a frequency that our atoms reside in.
Which is why we're not going to find Aliens in space or in the Earths Core. They're literally next to you, in another frequency of reality-- A dimension, that's what Parallel Earths in Comics represent. Thats what Heaven is. A frequency.
That's HOW gods do it, through sound, frequency science. Not spaceships.
And thats why people resonate with music so much, how it can control moods, frequency of sound is power, it taps into dimensions if the sound is strong enough.
Specifically the method that Christs coming is announced is through Horns, Sound. Punching through our dimension like a battering-ram on a door.
Sound is a stronger element than Humanity realizes, well the uninitiated anyway.
Tumblr media
All in all, I genuinely want to see that game happen. Even if not accurate, (because if it is, Kratos loses hard, it's not even a fight), the interpretation alone would be cool.
Tumblr media
Though his death was trash, GOW Thor was awesome.

Tumblr media
About  80%  of  my  brainrot  thoughts  lately  are  about  bnha/mha,  which  is  why  Dabi  is  the  only  muse/blog  I've  been  active  on  lately,  however,  the  other  20%  of  my  thoughts  have  def  been  about  Henry,  especially  with  the  VR  game  trailer  and  ofc,  The  First  Shadow,  which  is  bound  to  send  me  insane  again.  But  like,  what  I  wanted  to  mention  was,  I've  extensively  studied  what  little  we  have  in  the  VR  game  trailers  and  I  have  thoughts  about  it  I've  been  meaning  to  share.  I  kinda  mentioned  this  on  discord  a  while  ago  but  fuck  it  I'm  gonna  make  a  post  about  it  because  thats  the  autism  way  for  me. 
So  like  I  think,  theres  sort  of  an  idea  being  pushed  with  the  VR  game  that  Henry/Vecna  really  is  the  one  who  controls  all  of  the  upside  down  and  the  creatures  there  are  pretty  much  mindless  without  him  and  theres  not  another  force  at  play  and  you  already  know  at  length  why  I  Do  Not  Vibe  with  that.  And  no  it  has  nothing  to  do  with being a  "Vecna  apologist"  w/e  the  hell  the  fandom  keeps  banging  on  about.  Like  if  you  don't  think  I  can't  write  and  stan  evil  bastard  who  is  an  evil  bastard  just  for  the  sheer  thrill  of  being  an  evil  bastard  you're  not  paying  attention and you don't know me.  
But  like,  for  me,  with  Henry,  it's  entirely  because  I'm  a  huuuge  Cosmic  and  Religious  horror  fan  and  I  feel  like  this  wouldn't  be  in  line  with  the  other  heavy  suggestions  from  canon  in  season  4,  and  the  fact  that  Cosmic  and  Religious  horror  is  something  the  Duffers  seem  to  be  playing  heavily  into  everywhere  else,  INCLUDING  in  The  First  Shadow.  I mean, fr, look at the last trailer for The  First  Shadow  and  tell  me  no. Its  so  explicit  at  this  point  there  isn't  a  need  for  20 k  word  meta/hcs/theories  from  me  to  point  it  out  anymore.
SO  while  its  always  been  a  possibility  that  the Vecna/Upside down/Mindflayer  thing  has  always  just  been  as  simple  as  "Evil  guy  takes  over  alien  lifeforms  and  uses  them  to  do  his  evil  bidding"  I'm  going  to  hold  on  to  the  idea  that  there  is  a  lot  more  to  it  than  that !  Because  something  else  regarding  the  VR  game  is,  even  though  its  promoted  as  Vecna's  POV,  I  think  there  is  other  POVs  being  shown  in  the  game  as  well.  I  think,  or  maybe  I'm  just  being  delusional  and  holding  on  to  my  own  personal  take  of  things,  maybe,  but  I  feel  like  "Vecna's"  POV  is  more  an  "Umbrella"  for  the  entire  UD.  
In  the  sense  that  I  wouldn't  say  his  POV  is  going  to  be  or  is  the  only  one  being  shown  in  the  game.  I  feel  like  we're  def  gonna  get  POVs  from  Eleven,  maybe  some  of  the  other  characters  and  even,  possibly,  the  monsters  of  the  UD,  but  I  think  like,  Eleven  and  her  friends  aren't  going  to  be  the  ones  we're  controlling.  Its  gonna  be  largely  Vecna  and  the  UD  residents  we're  playing  through  the  eyes  of. 
And  like,  maybe  Vecna  is  the  only  "humanly  intelligent"  thing  in  the  UD,  I  play  to  that  idea  myself,  particularly  in  the  sense  that  yeah  vecna's  "humanly  intelligent"  but  there  are  other  forms  of  intelligence  and  what  I  like  to  portray  from  the  ud  is  that  while  nothing  else  in  there  is  "human"  and  most  of  it  is  "animalistic",  like  the  demogorgons,  specifically  the  mindflayer  entity  and  the  "hivemind"  is  something  else.  Like  you're  never  supposed  to  interpret  those  things  as  'human'  or  animal  if  you  get  what  i  mean  ?  but  i'd  probably  need  a  whole  other  post  to  talk  about  that  specifically  and  i  don't  know  if  everyone  gets  what  i'm  going  for  because  like  cosmic  horror  isn't  for  everyone  and  its  not  like  i  haven't  wrote  huge  posts  about  that  stuff  before  anyway.
But  anyway, obviously  when I  think  about  it  like  that  it  makes  the  game  a  lot  more  exiting  for  me.  Also  there  seems  to  be  an  idea  there  that  Vecna  can  fly ?  I'm  not  sure  whether  we're  suppose  to  take  those  snippets  of  scenes  as  his  POV  or  as  the  POV  of  something  else  ( coughmindflayercough )  which  is  why  I'm  thinking  like ... I  don't  think  Vecnas  POV  is  the  only  one  we're  gonna  play  from,  its  just  sort  of  an  Umbrella  term  for  the  POV  of  everything  else  in  the  UD  if  that  makes  sense ? But we'll see.
Which  isnt  to  say  I  don't  think  the  idea  of  Vecna  possibly  being  able  to  "fly"  or  anything  isn't  funny  as  hell.  Imagine  in  season  5  they  think  they've  got  him  cornered  or something and  the man  just  floats  away  majestically,  thats  killing  me,  love  that  for  him. 
Like  we  have  sort  of  seen  Vecna  at  least  do  something  that  might  be  considered  "levitation"  so  idk,  I  don't  think  its  extremely  far  out  or  anything ━  I  also  love  the  idea  because  we  have  that  line  of  Mike  telling  El  she's  his  Super  Hero  and  she  can  fly  and  move mountains to him  and  like,  ok,  thats  cute,  but  what  are  they  gonna  do  if/when  Vecna  actually  physically  CAN  do  those  things ?  That  suits all  my  X  men /  Magneto  /  Brightburn  referencing  here  with  him  very  deliciously  ━  But  yeah,  I'm  just  having  a  lot  of  thoughts  about  it !!  
And  like,  I  also  wanna  say  like,  I  may  be  entirely  wrong  about  everything I've ever theorized,  but  if  that  turns  out  to  be  the  case  I  kind  of  have  no  intention  of  changing  any  of  my  canon and the way I write things here.  Tbh,  with this blog I  decided  to  just  have  fun  and  write  my  own  crazy  stuff using my own personal favorite horror flavors  which  is  95%  what  this  blog  is,  so  while  I  don't  think   I'm  completely  off  on  things  in  canon,  I  also  don't  fully  expect  all  the  insane  horror  fan  stuff  I've  pulled  out  of  my  ass  here  to  be  exactly  canon  either,  so  like  its  whatever ! 
Maybe  I'll  have  a  separate  verse  for  ""canon""  things  if  stuff  I've  wrote  / theorized  is  proven  to  be  DRASTICALLY  divergent  but  ultimately  my  own  insanity  is  always  gonna  be  the  main/default  for  my  take  on  Vecna/Henry/The UD.

Making another for the Interdimensional Mini Occult Detective au.
Tucker is very, very, very stunned by this new dimension. After he managed to settle himself down enough for him to actually start looking into this place, he realized that it is vastly different from that of his own.
There was heroes and villains, people called 'metas' that had powers that others don't, magic is just plain out in the open instead of hidden on the downlow and there's genuine aliens that both reside on and have tried to take over this planet.
This is, well out of his normal experiences, he would admit. Even with knowing Danny and being involved with ghost hunting when he was younger.
He questioned how that government branch managed to do what they did, and if they were a genuine government branch at all and didn't just, you know, mess with his own governments heads to make them one.
Safe to say, there is a lot he doesn't know about, and not knowing is something he doesn't like. Because facing an entire magical branch on his lonesome, knowledge and technology was the only way he could even the playing field somewhat between them.
But now, not only was his knowledge put into question, but his only other weapon has been reduced to-which certainly useful- a single arm bracer. Which is painfully lacking when compared to his usual arsenal that he equipped himself with.
Okay, this, this is fine.
Everything was fine.
He just had to gather information like he did before, but he doesn't have access to his various spybots, but it's fine he could just remake them.
But he doesn't have the materials to do so.
...
He regrets a lot of things.
Facing the magical branch alone wasn't one of them, but various mistakes surrounding them did he regret. People he failed to save, experiments he was too late to stop, magical artifacts he failed to get before them, failing to know regarding them and putting others in danger because of not knowing.
His biggest regret, as of right now, is that he couldn't have even left behind a note for his best friends. Or at least a video recording, he didn't even get to say goodbye.
Would he even get to see them again...?
...
Alright, that's enough of that. He's the Tucker Foley, one of the best detectives regarding the occult and the regular enemy to and a threat to the magical branch. He doesn't have time to just sit around and think depressing thoughts.
Who cares if he's been stranded in another dimension? He can just force his way back to his own! Who cares if he's a child? He's done a lot of things as a kid, and he sure as hell wasn't stopping now just because he's goddamn 10-years-old.
He made himself their enemy, and he'll keep being their enemy until he sees them extinguished.
Now that that's out of the way.
He hacked into a nearby source for wifi, and took to the wide web. First order of business, information gathering.
He needs to know and by the Ancient's sake he will.

Hi I would love to hear you expand on your queer superfam headcanons if you’d be willing to share
Hi anon! I'd love to!
Right now I've been mainly thinking about Clark and Lois. For Lois, I think of her as bi or pan (Wonder Woman #170 you will always be famous to me). She experimented with her sexuality a lot in college and in high school (there were some fights with her father about it), but because of a combination of things didn't really date often. For one she was super ambitious and focused on her career and that came first for her, but then also half the guys who were attracted to her were assholes and she never put up with their shit unless she needed something from them, which gave her a bit of a reputation in her schools and workplaces, you know how it goes. Now that wasn't a deterrent for the resident sapphics, quite the opposite in some cases, and Lois did have some hookups with them but again didn't date much. She doesn't get emotionally close to people easily or quickly. This might mean she's demi- or grey-romantic, or she's just a busy career-driven woman who's experienced trauma and is also a bit neurodivergent. Her gender is cis and femme in a mildly dykey and "fuck you" kind of way. Also she's fairly unreserved and uninhibited about her sexual desires. She's pretty into kink and unashamed about it.
Right now I really like my transfem!Clark headcanon. She doesn't realize anything or come out until later in her life, and even then it's only to Lois, and then she doesn't come out to more people or transition for several more years, and even then only Clark Kent transitions, not Superman. In her early life she feels very alienated and very different from the kids around her but she doesn't have any of the knowledge to understand why she feels that way, so she chalks it up to being neurodivergent and a meta, and later when her parents tell her about where she comes from, chalks it up to being from a different planet. She doesn't realize it until at least two decades later, but her high school crush on Lana is half attraction and half gender envy. Another thing that delays her gender realizations is that she's a butch woman. Typical femininity doesn't fit her. So she never identified with the women and girls around her in a clear and defined way. And also the main core part of her identity is that she's an alien and a refugee and one of the last of her people, and that she needs to help people. Her gender is a bit secondary to that. She realizes eventually, and even though she's delayed and interrupted by a few crises and universe resets, she does eventually transition as Clara Kent, but stays Superman, partly because Superman transitioning at the same time as Clark would be suspicious and partly because she just doesn't mind being seen as a man if its not all the time, and she uses Kryptonian clothing technology to hide the changes to her body from transitioning as Clara. I have the full story of her transition in my head but it's too long for this. So basically Clara is a trans butch lesbian. She is m-spec a bit, but she has a strong preference for women and her attraction to men just doesn't really come up or play much of a role in her life so she prefers to describe herself as a lesbian.
Kara! Kara is a genderqueer woman (masc headband from the 80s my beloved <3). Kryptonian concepts of gender are literally alien and dont necessarily match up to human ones. She goes by she/her pronouns because she just doesn't care to navigate human concepts of gender to explain it to them but when she's speaking Kryptonian with someone she's referred to with...I guess the equivalent of ze/hir? But not that? Idk I haven't properly thought out my ideas on Kryptonian gendered language. She does get frustrated and sad sometimes about how characteristics that would have easily been recognized as masculine on Krypton are meaningless on Earth, but (if I place this headcanon of her in the same world as my Clara headcanon) she does share some of those signals from Kryptonian culture with Clara and bond with her over being genderqueer women. She's also gay. More specifically she's pansexual homoromantic, but doesn't really care for having a relationship with just sexual attraction so...gay. Lena Thorul come back you could've been so powerful...
I like to headcanon Kon as pan, although he's slightly less romantically attracted to women compared to men, and hes demisexual and hypersexual. Also hes transmasc. I honestly don't know how that would work because I keep going back and forth on the specifics of his gender, but the version I came up with most recently is that for a while he identified as transfem and actually transitioned that way but then realized his gender wasn't that and transitioned back but then at that point he'd fucked with his gender so much that despite being perisex amab the term transmasc genuinely felt most accurate, because he does have a strong connection to femininity and his masculinity, despite being more prominent than his femininity, still needs to be taken with the context of femininity to be understood properly. His gender is like the error message you get when too many people are trying to access a site at once. All of this happens in the hypothetical future though. In his early life Kon doesn't feel secure about his queerness and leans hard into performative masculinity and compulsive heterosexuality. At his current age he's just finished growing out of the performativity but still hasn't recognized his queerness. He'll realize he likes guys a while before he accepts his genderqueerness, and then he'll go through all the gender exploration. When hes older he sometimes jokes that he's a he/him lesbian, which is because he feels "butch as gender" is an accurate enough way to describe him, even though thats not how he would choose to describe himself to others. He goes and finds Hero from the Ravers when he first realizes he likes guys.
Jon is canonically bi and Natasha is canonically a lesbian, Mae is genderfluid/multigender and a bi lesbian, Linda Danvers is a lesbian, Cir-El is a trans girl and sappic-oriented aroace, Chris is very aroace with a god-induced soulmate bond (which I'm not sure if I want to keep in my headcanons?), and John Henry is m-spec and both demisexual and demiromantic.
I saw someone headcanon Jonathan as a trans man, and I'm still kind of playing around with that idea in my head and I'm unsure of whether I will use it for my own headcanons yet. I do think Martha should get to have had a girlfriend in college though. I also like to headcanon that she went to a lot of protests when she was young in the sixties.
If you look closely you'll notice that I made most of the superfamily like girls in one way or another lol

Another note before I throw in the towel and go beddy byes.
I thought the scene behind Luka in this scene...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...was referring to this scene in Round 1.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But I guess, obviously theyre not due to the opposing angles??? Unless we're pulling movie mirroring stuff in here or something- The lighting of the footage behind Luka doesnt match the stage lighting when Sua and Mizi perform tho, and the motions of both scenes match in terms of Sua looking over and making an expression with a movement of her head. I cant recall scenes from Round 2 that could match this either and Im pretty sure Sua doesnt show up in Round 3, so. This is new footage, afaik.
Additionally, Im wondering if the footage behind Luka is of adult Sua or child Sua. An interesting note you can make from ALIEN STAGE MAGAZINE👽entries, INTERVIEW WITH LUKA and ALIEN STAGE Audition Behind the Scenes-, is that Luka, Sua, and Mizi all went to Anakt Garden in their childhood. I think theres a good chance that Luka could access Anakt Garden footage as a result of his upbringing there and potential interest in researching Sua and Mizi.
A bit irrelevant, but before I settled on the idea that it could be Anakt Garden footage, I considered the idea that the MVs WE view are intended to be meta and the same that aliens in universe view when they dont see the live performance. I was, like, "HOWD YOU GET THIS? WHERE DID THIS COME FROM, LUKA-" But thankfully, Round 3 (Ivan's) MV disproves that quite quickly because I dont think Ivan or Till would be here if the aliens had Literally Caught in 4K Footage of their escape. So, rest assured, the past portions are likely genuine flashbacks, to which may be the reason why the above images dont match up properly. It would be no surprise of all the residents in Anakt Garden were monitored, which is why I sway towards the top images being of child Sua in her time there.

“This crest is a symbol that stand for hope. That’s what I want to inspire in others. Because I know, that for every villain, there is a hero. And every man can make the choice to be a Superman.” -Izuku Midoriya
Rundown;
Izuku Midoriya was originally believed to be powerless due to lacking what 80% of the planet’s population had known as a “Quirk factor” thus he was treated like an outcast. Upon risking his life to save his childhood friend turned bully, he proved himself worthy to his childhood hero All Might, and was given his quirk, One for All, with neither realizing that the user who had passed the quirk to All Might was Izuku’s grandmother, Nana Shimura.
The spirit of Izuku’s grandmother that had resided in One for All’s quirk factor knew of the potential stored within Izuku’s genetic code, and thus triggered Izuku’s DNA into developing what was later termed by Recovery Girl as “Meta-gene” the biological successor to the weaker “Quirk factor”, making him a true “meta human”
Izuku developed meta human telekinetic abilities, which awakened his Kryptonian genes during the UA practical exam, causing him to develop the same powers as his father. He gradually grew stronger as the exam progressed, racking enough points to completely shatters the record, and save his future girlfriend, Ochaco Uraraka, from being crushed by the Zero-pointer when he accidentally punched it into space.
He met with Ochaco after the exams, and she asked him out on a date for later that week, to which he accepted. Having told his mother about his strange new powers, his father swiftly returned home and revealed his extraterrestrial origins to his son, and helped train him in using his new powers.
Training with his parents helped him rebuild the confidence that was shattered by the corrupt schooling system that he had attended up until that point, and he was able to enjoy his date with Ochaco. The date ended with both of them being smitten with the other. On their way back, they ran into a scared child with white hair named Eri, who they decided to take in. In the days leading up to their classes at UA, caring for Eri made them realize how much they cared for each other, so they became a proper couple and legally adopted Eri as their own.
After much encouragement from his father, Izuku decided to tell Ochaco and Eri the secret of his powers, that he was half-alien and a quarter Amazonian. They accepted him regardless, and helped him realize that he could truly change the world.
After their failed class trip to the USJ, in which Izuku showed that he was far stronger than All Might, his mother gave him a new costume made out of Kryptonian fabrics and with his father’s iconic shield. They explained that Hisashi’s crest was the Kryptonian symbol for hope. And after a pep talk from his family,
“You can save them Izuku. You can save ALL of them.”
He revealed his heritage as the Son of Superman during the Sports Festival. And while many looked upon him with fear, others gazed upon him with hope for the next generation. He would go on to help his fellow students Shinso and Shouto overcome their own inner turmoils, and capture the insane Hero-Killer, Stain.
During his first year finals, he would be challenged by his astonished mentor, All Might, who had assumed that he had found a way to harness more power from One for All, only for the exam to be interrupted by Black Adam. Izuku would be forced to reveal more of his powers showing just how big the gap between them was, as well as showing his mastery over his telekinetics.
After the disastrous Training Camp trip in which his mother revealed herself as Wonder Woman, he would help confront All for One, only to learn that he knew of his father’s extraterrestrial origins and that he had in his possession Kryptonite.
After shattering the crytal with a telekinetic pulse, and getting All Might to safety, he and the rest of the world watched as his father revealed that he did not die in his battle against Doomsday, and watched as he made short work of the villain who could match All Might.
The whole world was soon told the truth of the heroes they called Superman and Wonder Woman, and while some were skeptical, many embraced their family as Earth’s Champions.
He would later learn that his two classmates, Denki Kaminari and Mina Ashido, were actually escaped clones made from his DNA by All for One’s scientist in an attempt to harness his family’s power, making them his siblings.
He would pass on One for All to Eri, since he no longer had any use for it, resulting in her inheriting his telekinetic abilities, which she would then use to act as “Supergirl”, her misadventures leading to Ochaco truly experiencing the worry of a mother like she never had before.
He will eventually inherent the name “Superman” from his father.
Powers and Abilities;
It has been noted by his grandmother, Recovery Girl, that as a Kryptonian-Amazonian hybrid, he is actually only a quarter human. While under the effects of a yellow sun, he possess great power on a scale that some may consider him a “New god”. These abilities include;
Solar Absorption; while exposed to a yellow star, he is capable of absorbing its radiation to empower his body and sustain himself, giving a wider range of abilities.
Telekinesis; an offshoot of his mother’s attraction quirk, the spirit of his grandmother residing within One for All awakened this Metahuman ability within him, which triggered the rest of his powers. Since this power is provided by a “Meta-Gene” it can not be erased or suppressed in the same way that quirks can. This power is also not dependent on Solar Radiation, and as such he can use it at all times, even when depleted of solar energy.
Invulnerability; when charged with solar energy, his body produces a bio-electric aura that acts as a force field that protects him from harm.
Healing Factor; should any damage bypass his invulnerability, his body can use its stored solar energy to heal itself almost instantly.
Super Speed; his body and mind are capable of processing information and moving over hundreds of times faster than light speed, both while running and flying.
Flight; he is capable of telekinetically lifting himself up and performing controlled flight.
Super Strength; he is capable of physically lifting large loads that weigh as much as planet Earth itself, and it has been calculated by computers in the Fortress of Solitude that he could benchpress the weight of the planet for several days nonstop with no noticeable strain. He can also use his telekinetic abilities to make objects he touch lighter and keep them from breaking under their own weight while lifting them. He has been shown to be capable of punching a Nomu through the moon, creating a crater on one end and exiting from the other end.
Heat Vision; he is capable of jettisoning the solar radiation his body absorbs from his eyes as beams of solar radiation.
Super-Vision; by channeling his body’s solar radiation into his eyes at certain wavelengths he is capable of achieving X-ray and Infrared Vision, as well as enhancing his eyesight to see at the microscopic level.
Explosive Heat Vision; by using his microscopic vision in tandem with his heat vision, he ignite small groups of molecules in the air around him to explode before his heat vision can make contact with any object he sees, pushing it back with concussive force.
Hyper Violet Heat Vision; by using his X-Ray vision in tandem with his heat vision, he can set his heat vision to channel the Hyper-Violet Spectrum.
Mimicked Heat Vision; when low on Solar radiation, he can use his telekinetics to mimic the effects of heat vision by forcing the molecules within his line of sight to vibrate to the point that they ignite and burn.
Super Breath; by enhancing his lungs, he can blow out winds strong enough to create hurricanes or cause ice to form.
Mimicked Super Breath; he had theorized and was later confirmed by his daughter that he could also mimic the ability of super breath by telekinetically pushing the air he breaths out. He can also slow down the molecules within range of his breath to near absolute zero, causing them to ice over and freeze.
Super Flare; like the New 52 incarnation of his father, should he push a large amount of his Solar reserves into his heat vision, he is capable of producing a detonation comparable to a solar flare. He has also learned to jettison Solar energy from the rest of his body to enter a heightened, “Solar mode”, in which he essentially becomes a human star. However both these abilities have the side effect of leaving him severely depowered, thus he only uses these abilities against Galaxy level threats and above.
Weaknesses;
Kryptonite; radioactive fragments of his father’s home world. The radiation it produces can destroy his stored supply of solar radiation, weakening him, and can cause him harm, though he has a higher tolerance than his father due to his nature as a hybrid.
Magic; his passive aura provides no protection against magical attacks, however due to being born as an Amazonian hybrid, he has a slight resistance to magical attacks compared to his father.
Solar Dependency; his Kryptonian abilities are largely dependent on his stored solar energy reserves. Should he deplete enough of his reserve, he will be weakened and his hair and eyes turn back into their natural color. However, he’ll still be a powerhouse with his telekinesis.
Other Notes;
His hair and eye color changed to match his father’s when his Kryptonian heritage was awakened.
He is an amalgamation of the main Izuku Midoriya, and the New 52 and Jon Sam Kent Supermen, with New 52 Kon-El and Jon Lane Kent’s Telekinetic abilities.
His favorite food is Katsudon.
His nature as a natural born hybrid means that the scale of his powers will eventually surpass both of his parents’.
Unlike the main Izuku Midoriya, he gained a healthy sense of self-confidence earlier own. He is also technically not an only child. He also overcame his tendency of easily crying and is better at controlling his mumbling.
Other Costumes;
Deku;

Superboy(solar suit);

Been mulling over the vague idea of a sci-fi Kirby au that features Meta Knight as a lone human taken from his home and struggling to survive in a galaxy that is very much not made for him.
One of my favorite concepts for it so far is that Galaxia is a type of alien parasite.
Eons ago, when the universe was very young and unstable, two forms of life so different from each other had found themselves living on a planet whose name is lost in time. This planet is a legend in the present, believed to house technology so advanced it might have been magic, and the inhabitants were said to be immortal. Speculation claims that the god-like aliens grew bored of the young universe, choosing to abandon it and ascend to a higher existence. If you unlock their secrets, you would receive the throne of godhood as well.
The reality of the forgotten planet is different, and some of these so-called “gods” are still alive and could tell you such.
Galaxia is originally from the forgotten planet, and she remembers that the environment was so hostile that technology never developed past primitive space travel. There was no grand magic, and while the inhabitants were long-lived, neither species were immortal. Life on the forgotten planet found a way to struggle and hold on, and not much else ever was accomplished.
The modern tongue refer to the two species which had inhabited the planet as Fire People and Parasites.
The Fire People were cunning, swift, and beacons of endless energy, but the nature of their bodies left them vulnerable and easily snuffed out into ash and coals. The Parasites are armored, vicious, and nearly immortal, but this came at the cost of never being able to live without the energy of another.
The modern tongue misrepresents the latter of the two.
Both these species survived the hostile conditions of their planet by depending on each other. Fire People were so easily extinguished, but if they offered a Parasite their energy, then a Parasite would act as protective shield. Two lived as One. If One became separated into Two, then both are sure to die. Symbiotic is the proper word to describe Galaxia.
Galaxia in particular had been distinguished due to being the companion to the Fire People’s king: Photron.
The two had bonded when the king had only been a young spark. Not many had been brave enough to approach such a old and powerful Parasite such as herself. The power Galaxia demands is so great that most Fire People are sucked dry of their life energy and extinguished in mere moments. The royal parents had been terrified that their young spark was approaching such a monster, but it was of no consequence. Galaxia’s many gold-red-green-blue-pink-white eyes saw the potential Photron held, but even more important was the young spark’s charm. Seldom had Galaxia come across another mind who she enjoyed the companionship of, and she had been gleeful to accept the bond with young Photron.
The bond between such a powerful Parasite and Fire is responsible for Photron eventually claiming the throne. This powerful bond is also how Photron survived long enough to see the rest of his people die.
The hostile planet which these species resided on was not stable, the atmosphere was unwinding and the ground crumbling. The Parasites would try to fight this fate, to defend their beloved Fire, but even their power can not match that of nature, and slowly Fire after Fire were snuffed out. Soon the streets were empty of people; instead littered with the sleeping bodies of The Parasites lain amongst piles of coals and ash. Although these Parasites were still alive and merely in a hibernation of sorts, they would perish when the planet fully shatters.
Overcome with the grief of being unable to save his people from the decay of their planet, Photron wondered if he could save at least one life. The King Photron did not know if there was anyone else in the universe outside of his dying planet, and space travel was not a proven concept, but he valued the life of his companion over his own. This inspired Photron to hatch a scheme.
In secret, Photron commissioned his last few engineers to make a vessel capable of leaving the planet. Upon the night of the machine’s completion, the clever king used the flames of his own body to burn a special herb which was known to paralyze The Parasites, making them fall off. Galaxia felt betrayed that her companion would not take into account her wishes to stay until the end, but she was in a death-like sleep before it mattered. Put into a primitive space capsule and launched blindly into the depths of the universe, Galaxia would not be awake to see the light of her beloved companion be snuffed out.
The Parasites share similarities to the tardigrade. By succumbing to a death-like state, she had survived eons outside of her home planet without a host. In recent millennia, this parasite had become a legend, alongside the sparse few other who had survived the destruction of their home. She and the others are sought after in the belief that they hold the secrets of immortality.
Upon being awoken by such a person looking to cheat death, Galaxia had not been impressed, but she agreed. She was lonely. Her new host, of course, had not been worthy of her gifts like Photron had. In just two lunar cycles, the new host proved to be too weak, unable to meet the high amount of life energy which The Parasite fed off of. This fool paid for their hubris with their life. It was of no consequence to Galaxia. The next fool would come along sooner or later. And each one would be drained of their energy just like the last.
This was how Galaxia once again gained the reputation of a monster, and how her kind shifted from being seen as symbiotic to being Parasites.
Of course, while many would avoid her completely, there were others who would be interested in the services of such monsters like The Parasites. Nefarious companies looking to get rid of “failed investments”. Headstrong warriors hoping to get her aid in battle. All sought out stories of a nameless monster for one reason or another. All were unworthy.
Galaxia extinguished flame after flame until a peculiar life form had crossed her path. The alien was one she had never seen before, but obviously a warrior. Scars littered it’s skin, with the most gruesome of which had been slashed deep across its eyes. All that remained were two pale white slivers which ghosted over Galaxia’s golden form with no recognition. This alien was blind, seemingly a result of a battle, and did not know the fate that awaited it.
In a echo of a memory from eons ago, the alien approached Galaxia without fear, and she let the pitiful thing blindly stumble into her. The process of bonding was easier through physical touch, and Galaxia hungered for fresh life energy. Prehensile hands clumsily found hold on her massive golden form, enabling a basic mental connection, and the Parasite began picking through the mind of the fighter before her.
She dissected the language of the alien—the Human—and then spoke with him. Galaxia saw bits of herself in the man before her. Ripped away from their people and her planet, never able to return, living a life being seen as a monster when all they really wanted was a companion. Both have true names which mean nothing to the rest of the galaxy, both are simply called monsters and parasites. The Human expressed frustration and grief which struck a chord with the monster. Galaxia’s many gold-red-green-blue-pink-white eyes saw the potential the nameless Human held, but even more important was the fact that she had found a kindred spirit who was tired of being alone like she was.
Galaxia decided to make an offer.
“Give me a name, give your life, and I will protect that life. I will be your sword, your shield. I will give you my eyes to use as your own and I’ll give you a name in return. Let Two become One.”
After that fateful encounter two monsters did not leave the cave. Meta Knight and Galaxia instead chose to travel the universe as one.

MY TGWDLM THEORY (it’s probably not just mine, it’s probably really popular but I felt compelled to post nonetheless)
Hi! I’m Mylo, your resident TGWDLM obsessed guy. I’ve seen it 49 times (and counting!) with friends and by myself, so you start to notice a few things after seeing it that many times.  I actually developed this theory after like...my 5th watch, BUT I’D LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD!  Uhh, warning, I’m gonna go off-track and on tangents I’m sorry in advance “ Do you mind if I give you the pitch? “ The musical is a reenactment put on by the aliens.  See, you’ve probably heard of this theory before, but I’m here to provide evidence! Here goes; IT IS CANON that non-infected people cannot hear the background music. (Which, by the way, I find to be a really cool detail, especially in Join Us and Die where everyone is...talking over the music, because they can’t hear it, and in Let it Out, where you can SEE Paul’s reaction to hearing the music for the first time oh my GOD Jon Matteson SLAYED that role and everything about it) This detail is important for the core of our theory, because if non-infected people can’t hear the music, how is the audience hearing it? How are we, the viewers, hearing the things only the aliens can hear? Because the audience must all be infected, the aliens are reperforming to themselves to retell the story.  I’ve also seen a theory going around that Emma got away? And I’m so so sorry to crush your bubble but if she got away she wouldn’t be in the opening number :( SPEAKING OF THE OPENING NUMBER The recap of everything fits perfectly with the theme of this being a reenactment. It’s to catch up to speed everyone listening!  ALSO! The meta jokes. The joke after Show Stopping Number to clear the stage (Should I take this chair?! I’ll get the piano!) wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t a reenactment. The slow-mo in the helicopter is another example of something that had to be added by the aliens.   I believe it’s also canon that it took 2(?) weeks for the infection to spread out of Clivesdale and across the globe so woohoo the world’s infected and my theory is probably correct!   You could argue; hey, it’s just a fictional musical! Duh, it’s gonna have musical gimmicks. AND TO THAT I SAY; STOP. PLEASE. (/lh) THIS MUSICAL MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME AND I WILL NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT LET ME *LIVE*  Final thoughts? uhh the world is doomed to become a musical love you guys enjoy not-singing while you can <3
