In AUverse, Albatross deplanes a transatlantic flight with Metro Boomin's Am I Dreaming as the earworm du jour. She eyes the horizon as she waits in the designated pickup space for her rideshare app driver. The air is brisk and she's grateful for the face mask she has for the added warmth and protection against the popular HMPV, RSV, flu, and covid making the rounds at transit hubs. The mask also offers some anonymity. With that in mind, her recent in flight entertainment compliments of the free upgrade (premium economy, baby), and the shared number of limbs between octofurbodies and spiders, would she choose a life of heroic feats or villainy if given the choice in a realm where Pokemon did not exist? Something about breathing in morning commute exhaust fumes and the tantalizing whiffs of a nearby shawarma cafe makes for a great existential crisis.

Which Path: Grained Melon is one of the villains who doesn't mean any harm to any fly. He acts evil, but his actions are more of a joke than serious. One day all the toilet paper rolls in the area disappeared for a whole 5 minutes. Another day he turned the city's water pink.

Which Path: Sweet Beast would be a semi-supervillain -- she'd only be interested in her personalized hunts, and completely uninterested in any other acts of villainy. Her hunts would be really brutal, though.

Which Path: Starving is a bit of a mystery. On the surface she reads villain and usually uses her powers to help herself. But if a big baddy shows up and starts messing with her status quo? You better bet she'll be there to kick their butts!

Kin this design is based on:

Which Path: Stopping is a hero through and through but she hates the limelight. She always wears at least part of her mask, even among the other heroes, not because she doesn't trust them but because she wants to keep her heroic side and her personal life as separate as possible.

Kin this design is based on:
Entry:
Which Path: Altar is a vigilante superhero, unless you don't believe in their patron God, of course. She takes her vows seriously, but she expects all the evil to follow those, too. Except those vows change on the daily and so does their God--what do you mean you don't hear those whisperings? You've been forsaken!? Altar will save you! Whether you want her to or not (you know that saying power corrupts, you're starting to think that's just the crazy . . .)

Entry:
Which Path: Steps into the Light isn't a hero or a villain. They're a clown. No, really, they're a clown who keeps being pulled into shenanigans because surely someone dressed like that is up to something! This is why there's a down deposit, you know, because she keeps missing gigs when this superhero thinks she's their sidekick or that supervillain thinks she's their sidekick and, goddamn, who said she even was a sidekick? She just wanted to make children laugh and maybe get some birthday cake!

Kin this design is based on:
Entry:
Which Path: Love is Terror. It could go either way, honestly. She's obsessed with superheroes and villains and enemies to lovers. If they could just go on one date, surely they'd see how good together they could be! She's not stalking because anyone who goes out like that is asking to be followed! And aren't things better with love anyway? Who doesn't want to have a partner? All that fanfic can't be wrong! JUST ONE DATE AND SHE'LL--this is not a verbal contract, by the way. Nothing she says is final. That's what lawyers are for.

Which Path: A self-proclaimed 'vampire spider' who rules the night, she straddles the line between hero and villain mostly because in her opinion, the villains are way hotter. Her allegiance depends on who she's currently dating and how emo she's feeling. She'll always save cats caught in trees tho.

Which Path: It's a lovely day to... save the city! The sunshine superhero who doesn't actually think anyone is that bad and they all just need a rest and a hug. Is due for a mental breakdown in second of half the movie as her word view gets shattered. Turns out not hiding your face is a terrible idea when bad guys are happy to hunt down your family.
