Years ago I was playing Dylan in a pan-fandom superhero-themed RP, and through months of character development, Jason Todd ended up in a QPR with Sleeper & then adopted Dylan Brock as a little brother.
Through the game's power mechanics I gave Dylan more "traditional" symbiote powers, including the ability to bond to others as a symbiote himself.
We had planned a whole plot of The Joker kidnapping Dylan and forcefully bonding to him because what a PERFECT way to hurt Red Hood!! Plus all the power boosts you get from having a symbiote bond!
And Dylan is stuck, but not helpless. Since Dylan's associated with Red Hood, Joker assumes the kid will be acting like your standard Batkid. He does not understand he's dealing with a Brock.
The plot never came to be for multiple reasons, which is a shame. I was really looking forward to playing out the aftermath; Dylan's been listening to Jason Todd's views on how bad people should die. Dylan unfortunately had been internalizing that in the worst way possible, and in the aftermath of this plot, would think "Ah. Knowing what I willingly did while bonded to Joker, clearly I am also Bad People, I should probably die too."
And once THAT came to light, Jason would have to reckon with what effect his ideology had on Dylan.
Anyway I like this art so I thought I'd share it.
