Mister Fixit Can't Fix This

You're usually known as the fixing guy, Someone comes in gives you money, You change their name change their home and hide them so they can't get caught, Your latest client is in a rush and afraid, Cause he pissed off the doctor.

Sureshot: A New Angle

You are a Villian who's a single parent of a son. Recently they started dating someone. When you arrived to their house, you notice how their parent is the hero you fight daily. Your son and date went outside for some alone time, leaving you and the hero some time to talk.

Foreword: Inspired by a prompt from r/WritingPrompts. Set in my "Allied Heroes Commission" world.

The Mad Doctor of Silk Street

The one person none of the heroes or villains fucks with is known as "The Mad Doctor". he treats anyone who seeks his help, in exchange everyone turns a blind eye when he shows up to underprivileged neighborhoods to deliver free and technically illegal care. the new guy learns the hard way.

Foreword: Another prompt from r/WritingPrompts. Again, I was struck by inspiration when I saw it, and decided to write another thing in the setting of the Allied Heroes Commission, in the same vein as Wildcard: Luck of the Draw.

Wildcard: Luck of the Draw

You are a reformed villain who was given a new identity to start over. The years have been hard, but you've managed to finally turn your life around. One day, a bunch of masked people break into your house and demand everything you have.

Foreword: I still browse r/WritingPrompts, because there are some talented writers in there. I don't usually participate, because my brain doesn't always catapult an idea into the creative center quickly enough. But it did this time for the prompt above, because I had some ready-made stuff in mind already, with the worldbuilding I did for a superhero setting, complete with the character Wildcard. This may not necessarily go anywhere after this, but I felt I had to use it.

Some More Comic Book Style Worldbuilding

Preface: I recently posted about some random superhero setting world-building that I did, showing off a villain from the setting called Wildcard. As I have plenty of notes about this thanks to the way my brain refuses to let things lie sometimes, I'll post up a little more about this setting.

Today, it's about metahumanism, the meta-gene, origin events, and a few notables. Below the break, I'll expound on how it works in the setting of the Allied Heroes Commission, with the note that when I world-build, I will frequently describe things in a vague nature, to leave things open for development down the line, creating potential story hooks to explore later.

Wildcard - A Comic Book Villain

Preface: So my brain working the way it does, when I'd rather focus on writing things like the Firmament or a supernatural western story (i.e. things I can proper publish and maybe get paid for), it instead wanders off to start world-building something else. In this case, it's a superhero setting, complete with origin events, villains, and hero organizations. A lot of it is relatively short, barely more than a paragraph in most cases. But when I was filling in some stuff on an origin event, I suddenly came up with a villain character that ended up getting more than that. So... here we go.

In this setting, everyone possesses the "meta-gene," though it is not active in the majority of the populace. What activates it varies on a case by case basis, and even with multiple present at an origin event ("meta activation events"), maybe only one actually develops superpowers. And even if a second person develops them, they can be wildly different from the other. Despite millennia of study and research, no one understands how the meta-gene works.

Despite the dangers inherent in trying to activate one's own meta-gene, people still persist in trying to understand the unfathomable. This inevitably leads to origin events like the Bright Spark Flash, which led to several early modern heroes' rise and ultimately the genesis of the Allied Hero Commission, but also to the rise of one of the first modern metahuman terrorists...
