Experiment2-0

Experiment took the opportunity at the drop of the cryoray, launching the poison-tipped spike into the leg of the escaping Crey Agent. He went down once the paralysis hit, the biological spear dissolving and the wound sealing up with the healing liquid within. The hero smirked idly and approached, making sure the Agent had definitely succumb to full body paralysis before making his way up the ramp into the energy siphoning chamber of the vessel. It was Soul Drainer again- He'd taken the time and effort to pay off or blackmail or do something to get Crey to reinforce his defenses after his fourth civil war with Shimmer's own respectable army

Over the months, long after John's encounter with the Ring, he had not lost his focus. He knew, every time he went out, that there was a constant threat by a group eager and able to pose a serious problem. This was unusual, really, as before now, heroes hadn't HAD such trouble in his area. No super powered villains thought it worth attacking, and it seemed creatures and monsters that plagued other cities on the planet had no reason or method of reaching them. The Ring of Despair was the first true threat posed to the heroes of the region, giving the young man a real look at the trouble that could rise up when it wanted to. Regardless, he re

John Ballard had turned thirteen when his first mutant powers arose. His parents were proud when, as he was working on a sandbag, his right fist was suddenly encased in a tendril-covered dark cloud, and the bag burst open all over the floor. He freaked out, obviously, but his parents were still proud. His brother, Jason, merely rolled his eyes at John's antics. Jenny, the one-year-old daughter of the family, clapped her hands at the spectacle. His father, Jack, beamed at his son. His mother, Emma, merely smiled wistfully. It's about time to note that the 'beginning names with Js' tradition ran in Jack's side of the family. They had an Uncl

The skyline of Paragon City was rather beautiful around midday, especially in the Steel Canyon region, the skyscrapers scratching the sky and impressing even the most detached of passing citizens. The only downside to living in such a rich, beautiful city was the sort of attention it attracted. The ground rumbled for mere moments before six well-armed battle robots burst from the Earth, and one bright red dot was hanging on to the largest one. Experiment 2.0 had been in a tense battle for the past few minutes, but the first sign of it was this climax as he held on to the Assault Bot for dear life. His jet boots had been deactivated and he'

A few days passed after the burning of the pub. Experiment 2.0 had no worries related to Experiment 4.0, absolutely certain of his destruction, the villains, Shimmer, 3.0 and Blind Messenger, were plotting again, this time trying to figure out how to place resistances to EVERYTHING that could possibly harm another assassin bot, but this would fail, and 4.0 lay powerless in Perez Park lake/swamp. He lay on the bottom of one of the small streams in the woods, hidden from view. No young heroes dared enter the part of the forest he was in, and no higher heroes had enough spare time to go exploring this area. He was practically invisible. Howeve

John Ballard, spinning in his chair as per his usual attitude, had just finished the correcting of the front page of the Paragon City Times newspaper. The story was on a leader of the Outcasts, Frostfire, and his seventh defeat that week alone by an up and coming hero. John always enjoyed hearing about that- He even remembered his first time beating the villain. He had been on a mission with his sidekick, Liquid Burst, when they received a radio transmission that a building had been taken over by the Outcasts, a group of element-driven gang members. Frostfire, an 'extremely strong' leader of the group controlled both fire and ice. The two her

The walls of the small bedroom were covered in posters of video game characters, or band members, and the walls were an extremely dark blue. The floor had a pure white carpet, which was covered in different plates or trays. The desk the computer sat on was a dark wood, covered in cups or cans of different liquids, mostly sugary. The bed, opposite the desk, was disheveled and unmade, and the curtains were hanging at a slanted angle, most likely from lack of care. Beside the desk was a bookshelf, filled beyond capacity with the things, every single one with red marker across the front indicating the owner had finished them. The owner, a fifte

Experiment 2.0, a hero for Paragon City, renowned and known by a large majority of citizens, had many enemies. Blind Messenger, a skeletal necromancer, was a relatively safe one, he wouldn't REALLY hurt people unless they actively hurt or betrayed him. He would rarely go out of his way to cause damage to anyone, and to Experiment, was mainly just a nuisance. Experiment 3.0, Experiment 2.0's dark energy given physical form, was slightly worse. He hurt people purposefully, and had killed quite a few, but 2.0 could usually defeat him. He wasn't very smart, and his natural strength paled in comparison to 2.0's technological advancements.
