Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Commissioned Survey with Lance and Shield Fan Art. Artist is ArtisticApparition.
Once again, thank you for doing gods work and commissioning some absolutely fabulous art.

Ah yes, we've had the "new hero assumed to be villain" bit, nearly had the "pointless hero on hero fight" with New Wave, just finished the "hero secretly works with the only authority that recognises his heroism" bit so the "improbably mandated identity reveal" must be soon.
The stations of Worm fanfiction seem to love digging their way into people's skulls, don't they? Granted, Lord's have been much less forced and, IMO, a helluva lot better than other fics in that regard.

TBF those aren't even Worm things; that's all standard comic book stuff. Just look at Spider-Man - Piggot and Vista are currently duking it out to get the J Jonah Jameson "never believes the hero is anything but a villain" role. Nothing new under the sun, and all that.

I feel like Vista would have to be some other kind of character because she's a kid. To some extent J Jonah Jameson is somewhat defined by being an adult and having some power.

I dont think Piggot gives that much of a shit. Her primary concern as of now is surviving fallout of PRT ENE collapsing onto her, I doubt she cares whether or not Apeiron actually evil. We havent seen that much of her here in any meaningful conversation that wasnt strictly business (especially none of her inner thoughts) but from what I remember from canon she isnt really the type to hate villains because they are evil. Or hate at all imo, I think she doesnt like a lot of things and people but she lacks that visceral hatred (like Vista's or Carol's) towards most of these things.

The primary concern of the king of pigs in this fic is trying to avoid jail time so she's actively screwing over the city by doing all she can to kick problems down the road no matter how much they snowball because when they explode they'll be someone else's fault. To that end she's also doing dumb stuff to try and shift blame such as how she was arranging for Apeiron to get a pre-signed kill order because she had media contacts already working on smear pieces about him using it as evidence of him being dangerous, unstable and to blame for the problems of the city despite her actually considering him unstable to the point you should avoid contact with him. Her secondary concern which she may have dropped following the meme thing is digging into the locker incident because of how she looked bad over it when the chief of police chewed her out over it so she's holding a large grudge over it.

I don't even think that she cares about the distinction between Heros and Villains; I think that she just cares that people are daring to be something other then soldiers or civilians.

Edit: like for sure she'd have Triggered over this shit if it wasn't common enough for Shards to have gotten bored of it.

And any of that contradicts my point how exactly? She is pragmatic, her current goal is to avoid fallout as much as possible. If turning 180 and declaring Apeiron paragon of Heroism on Earth would get her out she would do it in a heartbeat

Elaboration on methods and making it clear she's stopped doing her job and is actively screwing over pretty much everyone else to try and shift blame while also making it more likely the ENE is going to go down with her since she's stopping them doing their actual jobs while ignoring things like the butcher that are about to cause a huge mess.

...I still dont see how its relevant to me disagreeing that Piggot doesnt care whether or not Apeiron is actually evil...
 
That's the thing; wait until Dir. Armstrong has his people examine the GECK; won't they be surprised when they manage to build another?
 
Ah damn thats right. But only components though, everything else should be pure Fallout tech which is still fucking absurd to put it mildly
Joe just said that he was using off the shelf components to apply SSS principles and the configuration of them was what made the "magic" happen, he just didn't understand how exactly, or any way to develop the technology in other directions.
It's the closest power he has to "true" tinkering where he puts stuff together with the barest understanding of how it's doing what it's doing. He's just not "cheating" by using an extra-dimensional source of energy/data/processing/particle manipulation.

I thought we already had that with Doctor Campbell or does that fall under 'accidental identity reveal'?

The PRT should already be vaguely aware of his previous fusion tech via Dragon, the progression from standard fusion to disposable battery fusion in fallout is going to be an example of the 'three day old' meme. (Last Tuesday in-universe, currently still Friday, ten days progression)
