what's a random headcanon of yours?
(one of mine is that eddie has perfect pitch)
Perfect pitch, ah I really like that one! :D
Here we go: Eddie once constructed a mechanical spider-helper named Steve. Its purpose was to fetch tools or coffee, or sometimes spying, just all types of stuff a criminal mastermind may need. Query and Echo found Steve unsettling due to his singular, glowing eye, so Edward "solved" this issue by programming a blinking animation :D Now Steve pretends to be asleep during the night, which I guess makes it a bit better? (not really)
Steve has a very complex, nanotech AI chip installed as his „brain” because Edward hoped he would just learn more and more useful tasks on his own, becoming an even better tool. It kinda worked, but Steve also developed self-consciousness and began suffering from existential dread and asking all sorts of uncomfortable questions like "what is the meaning of life? Why is defeating Batman so important?" Is fetching a T6 screwdriver really the point of my existence?" which made it awkward for everyone in the hideout.
Thank you for the ask, I enjoyed your HC! ❤️
