I think it would be interesting to see her get to Cain's full size or close to it. A lot of Worm characters seem rather grounded in terms of physique. Usually when there's something going on that's abnormal for a parahuman's build it is a major warning sign for others. Especially when it comes to brutes.

Oh, my. I reloaded to check for any updates to stories, only to find this has updated too. Is it December? Cause this felt like a birthday present.

Haze Grey, by Selector.
"Yeah, we're going to need the fire department to bring the Jaws of Life, we've got a girl who got hit by one of Squealer's trucks."
"Fire and ambulance are on the way!"
"We're not going to need the ambulance. The girl's okay. It's just this truck is wrapped completely around her and we can't get her out on our own."

I wonder if Squeeler's shard is working overtime in making her put safety measures in her monstrosities
"Get in bitches we're gonna haul drugs across the entire fucking state today!"
"WOO!"
*merchants jumping in haphazardly*
"Let's go!"
"Seatbelts first dickheads! I am not scraping your brains off my windshield if we slam into a fucking brute... again!"
"pfft, okay mom"
"Don't fucking sas me in my own fucking truck, I got ejector seats and am not afraid to use them!"

Thanks for the story link, Fuzzball. Just started it, going from the first chapter it looks like it might be good.

Ah, right, Haze Grey. Knew I read it. Yeah, pretty sure I dropped that story because it's yet another Selector nonsensical harem fic. This time with copious amounts of "techporn" where every character (main or side) immediately joins the engineering hivemind to constantly design revolutionary technology even if they realistically wouldn't have any of the skills needed to do so.

Dammit! Now I'm imagining it was truck-kun ramming into Taylor, leading to truck-kun getting isekai'd.

The One Above All.
Given that Taylor is actually an empowered Champion of Cyttorak instead of being a parahuman, was this flash of crimson a Juggernaut equivalent red bodysuit and boots and domed helmet magically deploying on her Sailor Moon style?
That would be cool.

Don't forget the crimson knuckle duster bands. That said, I doubt it required a transformation dance that leaves you in the buff until the uniform forms ending with a "dramatic" pose that looks kind of silly.

Cue Taylor basically peeling it off. As Juggernaut it takes something with more resistance than normal metal to seriously inconvenience her as far as restraints go...
When Kaiser/Max hears they had to peel a truck off the latest Brocton Brute, he's gonna shit an ingot. When he finds out it was a Squealer special that didn't move her a millimeter, he's gonna go find a hole to hide in, and pull it in afterwards. Taylor being a heavy brute is one thing. Being a brute at that level is something entirely different.
And for anyone not familiar with metric tonnage, 1250 metric tons is about 2.75M pounds. That's about 100,210 standard gold bars (400oz). Or, about $204M at current prices. If Taylor ever decides to rob a bank, it's safe to say she can probably just grab the vault and run, regardless of the weight of it's contents. Fort Knox gold repository *might* be out of reach though. It contains about 4580 metric tons of gold bars.

I don't know but I bet she's already at 'too powerful to be more than startled by Squealer's truck'.
Well there's my answer.

She's got the strength to rip herself out of the corpse of Squealer's truck, but does she have the leverage to apply it? All the strength in the world doesn't help if you can't apply it correctly.

Easy solution. She can just start walking and not stop until the truck falls off by itself.

To be an issue to Taylor, even at her lower level here would require powers bullshit; while it IS a Tinkertech-forged truck, it's built with junk which impacts the material strength. Empowered as she is by her Patron, her body is far, FAR stronger. It's got about as much chance to resist as her old locker did.

You mean she had room and leverage in her locker, but none now?!? *raised eyebrow*

As far as I was aware, she IS a parahuman, AND the Champion of Cyttorak. She had the gem long before she triggered, then Cyttorak interfered with her trigger, granting the Crimson Gem powers in addition to warping her parahuman power. What of her power is parahuman, what is Cyttorak that Marko just never bothered to learn about, and what is the unholy mixture of the two is up for debate until and unless we get WoG on the subject.
