Mark should have explored the superhero plotline more

Yes! Don’t get me wrong, I like the more grounded nature of the series and how most of the powers are experimentation-based, but you can see the remnants of the superhero idea in it and they’re so interesting. I really feel like Cypher was supposed to be tied to that idea somehow given his outfit and the whole “secret identity” thing + his goal technically being saving the world at any cost. Same with H.O.P.E., I feel like they either used to be some sort of anti-powers initiative or some sort of hero team based on their vibes. The series could’ve been really interesting with a superhero twist!
Oh well, at least we have fanfiction.

Three cool looking species of raptors:
Those are some cool looking birds if i say so myself.
Ship bingo: marilliam, Lucy/nigel?
I already answered for Marilliam in a previous ask, but in summary: Scary Woman both loves and hates her Scruffy Chaos Man (he's annoying) (she loves him anyways)
Lucy/Nigel:
I'll confess I've never thought a lot about them before, but I think there's actually a lot of potential there! Lots in common to discuss with the weight of family reputations to maintain. And to me they seem to be on similar energy levels- I can see them spending most of their time quietly doing their own thing in the same room together.
the peak of "wouldn't it be awesome to be a child soldier? JUST KIDDING! it would be incredibly fucked up. anyway here's the main character getting eaten by wolves" is the alex rider series, which takes the wish fulfilment premise of being a teenage spy and then makes it explicitly clear from day one that alex is being blackmailed into acting as a spy for adults who have neither love nor even basic care for him and will let his life fall apart the moment he says no. coincidentally it's due to this career that alex is both an orphan and without a guardian in the first place; spying led directly to both his parents' and uncle's deaths. alex is repeatedly traumatised and nearly killed in increasingly horrifying manners, and it becomes clear that the only way for him to protect himself is to keep throwing himself in danger; he hates this and is completely aware that the only person he trusts could be ripped away from him at any moment and that his social life and academic standing is being ripped to shreds the longer he continues living his double life. the kicker is that he was raised in, perhaps intentionally moulded for, this lifestyle and the longer he continues it the harder he finds it to leave; he's essentially addicted to life-and-death situations and almost doesn't want to keep coming back to it. he turns to the other side only to turn that his bosses' enemies are just as bad as they are; at the age of just thirteen he finds himself completely alone in the world. and it slaps both as a thriller series and a deconstruction of the horrific violence both literal and structural that undergirds alex's life and job and the ethics of using a literal child to do your bidding as the lines between work and home life blur beyond recognition
I really need to start posting art here more, so here, have a fake screenshot from last year.
For those unaware, this is everyone's favorite technopathic clone and a H.I.V.E. OC of mine- Razor, a "graduate" from Raven's year who unfortunately did not get picked up by Nero during the raid on the Glasshouse. He and his team like to make that a problem for everyone, but Razor specifically takes issue with Otto for blowing up Furan's hand and getting her imprisoned. (You could say he's rather attached to her- a lack of parental figures will do that to you. So don't even get me started on his feelings on Raven...) As for the art, I was taking inspiration for the art style of Netflix's Carmen Sandiego (my beloved). If you like animation I highly recommend it! This screenshot definitely shows its age, but I'm still quite pleased with it; I should really try out this style again sometime.
If anyone has any questions about Razor, by all means ask away! He and his team are some of my favorite ocs and I love to ramble : D
