What's up gay people (Excellent Entities fans)? I bring snacks (a stupid superhero AU I had a dream about one night) ~
So basically, this AU is about Latte (how could you tell?) and his life as an ex-supervillain turned "superhero".
Doodles and lore under the cut (tis long):
The basic premise is this:
Latte is a tech wiz. He owns a large business that produces many technologies such as phones, computers, and villain weaponry. The city he lives in is run by and constantly fought over by wanna be supervillains. The police force are also always on everyone's tails, trying to keep the crime down in the city.
With Latte's immense artillery and need for funding on future technological projects, he decides to play both sides of conflict, marching as a vigilante with the police and an arms dealer for the villains. He was not born with powers, but he has crafted a phone that grants him "ice powers". Eventually, he begins to lean more to the "hero" side to be different from all his peers and have easier access to funding. However, he still has a soft side for his clients, so he does allow for some big crimes to "slip" despite being able to easily stop them (cuz he built and fixes all their weapons).
Everything is good until some newcomers come onto the scene. One is Nail, Latte's sidekick and the most prominent reason for his shifting of morality. Chalky and Broomer are not new to town, but they do bully Nail a ton, so they are new on Latte's radar. Another is Smartie, the new detective in town that is trying to track down an expensive piece of classified technology rumored to have alien influence. Finally, Chocolate Bar shows up, a seemingly nobody granted god-like superpowers and a violent vendetta against the city.
Will Latte be able to keep the steady nature of the city in check? Or will it crash down in flames? Who knows, cuz I'm making this up as I go.
TLTR: I make a stupid superhero AU where Latte is a Green Lantern/ Batman knockoff who plays good and bad people like a fiddle with a silly sidekick, detective, and a plethora of frenemies before being kicked around by a salty middle-aged man.
If you actually made it this far, you deserve a metal. 🪙 Have a nice day bros :)
