Starting With Batman

Ancient existences awaken in the abyss, demons whisper in people’s ears, unknown horrors erode the spirit, and madness breeds in the darkness of people’s hearts. But it is not only darkness that descends on this world. Heavily armed dark knights walk in the shadows to judge crimes; tight-fitting supernatural beings wander between buildings, acting as friendly neighbors; the impossible god on earth, the "S" symbolizing hope, shines like the sun on his chest… No one could have imagined that behind all of them, there was just a player sitting in front of a computer screen, furiously typing on a keyboard.

Filler (Part 2)

[We reached 100 PS... sooooooooooooooooooooo... here's 3 extra chaps.... fck im such a nice person]

Fantasy worlds have given rise to countless legendary stories, many of which come from vastly different systems, each with heroes and villains threatening to end the world in spectacular ways. But amid all this high-stakes chaos, a peculiar subgenre has emerged, bringing together characters from various realms to participate in wild cross-dimensional battles. These shows have become an after-dinner staple for viewers, especially those who support the anarchic spirit of these mixed-universe matchups.

Oddly enough, the characters who rise to the top in these ridiculous tournaments aren't the ones capable of vaporizing mountains with a flick of the wrist. Instead, it's the oddball heroes, those who rely on absurd logic and a heavy dose of luck, who find themselves practically invincible. They're the unexpected victors who outwit fate and often leave spectators scratching their heads in amusement.

Take, for example, the Marvel universe's ultimate comedic powerhouse: Squirrel Girl. Despite her humble appearance, she's taken down cosmic giants like Thanos and Doctor Doom with her unique brand of nonsensical charm and impossible luck. She's humorously nicknamed the "combat ceiling" of Marvel, a title that pokes fun at her paradoxical ability to come out on top against the odds.

And yet, if Marvel had to name the king of irreverence, the one character who injects absurdity into its otherwise serious universe, Deadpool would be the undisputed choice.

Deadpool's defining trait—and practically a requirement for any true comedy powerhouse—is his self-healing factor. Unlike Wolverine, whose regenerative abilities are laced with tragedy, Deadpool's is a near-caricature of immortality. He can survive the most outrageous injuries, including decapitation, dismemberment, and other indignities. He's even been known to reattach limbs with the ease of a Looney Tunes character. His resilience is practically conceptual, defying logic as he bounces back from any wound or ailment.

But Deadpool isn't just a walking joke. In addition to his healing, he's one of Marvel's top experts in both weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. What sets him apart from other heroes churned out of Marvel's metaphorical assembly line is his unorthodox fighting style. Deadpool fights like no one else, blending martial prowess with wild unpredictability, much like the martial arts philosophy that "no technique is better than technique." This chaotic approach makes him the perfect foil for fighters like Taskmaster, whose strength lies in mimicking his opponents' every move. Taskmaster can take down heroes like Captain America or Black Widow by replicating their precise techniques, but Deadpool's sheer unpredictability leaves Taskmaster bewildered and, often, quickly defeated.

Deadpool's proficiency with firearms and his ever-evolving arsenal also add to his chaotic nature. Among his tools, one stands out as his signature: his teleportation belt. In the comics, this device provides him with short-range teleportation, though it's notoriously unreliable. Sometimes it gets him closer to his target; sometimes it leaves him missing a limb. It's a hit-or-miss gadget that has been adapted to suit his unique brand of luck. The teleportation belt was adapted as a mutant ability in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," but in the comics, it's a piece of tech that complements his already formidable yet inconsistent skill set. With or without it, Deadpool's absurd resilience means he can walk away from a failed teleportation attempt unscathed—an advantage most heroes would kill for.

Despite Deadpool's quirks, he ranks as a B-level hero in the Marvel roster. He may lack the raw destructive power of a hero like Tony Stark, but his mix of humor, unpredictability, and indestructibility has made him a fan favorite. His teleportation, though limited, is effective when combined with his absurd endurance, cementing his place in the Marvel universe as a force to be reckoned with.

Next, Charlie Unlocked C-Level Hero Hawkeye: an elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Avenger, and arguably Earth's greatest archer. Yet, despite his skills, Hawkeye's role in the Avengers films left him somewhat overshadowed by his superhuman teammates. He's often the overlooked member, without the flashy powers or dramatic backstory. Unlike Black Widow, whose charisma and allure are an undeniable draw, Hawkeye remains a somewhat underappreciated figure. Even Ant-Man has somehow managed to surpass him in popularity. It's a frustration that Hawkeye has learned to live with, though it's not hard to imagine his envy at times.

Hawkeye's skills, however, are consistently underestimated. His strategic mind and quick reflexes often position him as a backup planner in case his superpowered teammates falter. He fills a role that's somewhat akin to DC's Batman, devising secondary plans and strategic saves. Yet, unlike Batman, he's never quite been elevated to the same level of reverence.

When Deadpool received his teleportation belt, it sparked curiosity in Charlie Cooper, the mastermind behind the mysterious organization called Black Sun. With the belt's abilities untested, Charlie found himself itching to put it—and Deadpool's other assets—to good use. While reviewing the Hero's stats and equipment, Charlie's assistant, Friday, stepped in with some timely news.

"Sir, a group of outsiders arrived in Riverton today. I thought you'd want to know," she said, pulling up a screen with a list of the newcomers.

Charlie glanced at the report and arched a brow. "Assassins?"

This group wasn't from the usual Black Sun, an organization that Charlie technically ran himself under the alias of Death Knell. Over time, he'd managed to reform most of Black Sun, steering its members toward a more ethical stance: targeting those who posed a genuine threat to society, rather than simply taking out anyone with a price on their head. While not all members embraced this shift, Charlie's unwavering influence ensured that those who resisted no longer posed a problem.

With Riverton as his stronghold, Charlie's influence reached every corner of the city. Surveillance networks, local law enforcement channels, and alerts from Riverton's Ninth Special Service Division kept him informed of nearly every development. It wasn't long before Friday located the newcomers.

"They're stationed at the port, in an old warehouse," she reported.

"Perfect. Let's go pay them a visit," Charlie replied, bringing Deadpool along for the mission. He selected Batman as his primary operative to transport Deadpool to the target zone efficiently. Thanks to Batman's advanced cloak and thruster systems, he covered the urban expanse quickly, arriving at the rooftop of the target warehouse in a matter of moments.

Switching to detective mode, he scanned the area, identifying four assassins along with a crew of thirteen armed thugs.

Under normal circumstances, Batman would have taken a meticulous approach, picking off the targets one by one. But this mission was about Deadpool, and testing his new teleportation belt. After pressing a switch, Charlie watched as Deadpool, clad in his iconic red-and-black suit and dual katanas, landed beside him with a smirk.

"Finally!" Deadpool exclaimed, cracking his knuckles in anticipation. "Time to shine, baby."

He turned, seemingly addressing an invisible audience. "Hey, player! I know it's tough for you to even get close to my level of handsomeness, but try to keep up, alright?"

Charlie narrowed his eyes, half-amused, as Deadpool prepared to dive into the fray, his sense of reality-warping humor fully intact. He seemed ready to cause as much mayhem as possible—breaking the fourth wall was just a bonus.
