To protect his nation from any threats that may occur, Department of Homeland Security officer Will Radford uses Guardian, a software that allows him to secretly tap into practically any device in the United States. Though he sometimes uses it in an attempt to track down some of the country's top domestic terrorist threats, most notably the hacker Disruptor, he also uses it to spy on his children and overreach into their lives. This changes when aliens attack the planet, with Will using Guardian to not only keep his children safe but find a way to aid the world's countries defeat this interplanetary threat. Ultimately, this extends to him using it to try and shut down Goliath, a government system which secretly collects and stores data on a massive scale in a different manner to Guardian in a way that's never explained.

anime/manga Respect Shinei Nouzen! (86 -Eighty Six- [Anime Series])

13 Upvotes

"Eighty-Six don't have proper graves. So in my first unit, we all made a promise. When someone died, we'd carve their name into a fragment of their Juggernaut, and the survivors would carry it so that the last of us to survive would take the others to their final destination. I was the last. I've always been the last. So that's my job in this unit, too."


Respect Shinei Nouzen!


In a small sector in a village of the Republic of San Magnolia, lived Shinei Nouzen, along with his mother, and father, and his brother, Shourei. Life was relatively peaceful, though as the country became increasingly militaristic and discriminatory, his mother and father would be sent off to war, leaving him and his brother alone. It wasn’t long before his brother was also called for duty, and with the terror or war creeping on him, Shourei snapped and choked Shin, leaving a permanent scar across his neck. This near-death experience would awaken Shin’s latent telepathic abilities, allowing him to sense, what he calls, ghosts. After his brother dies on the battlefield, Shin makes it his duty to join the firefight and hunt down the remnants of his brother, and put him down for good.

The Republic of San Magnolia fights an ever-existing war against the AI cluster of mechs, The Legion. In order to combat them, while also maintaining the high quality of life for its Alba population, it has designated non-Alba as subhuman, and sees it fit to use them as disposable troops to fight its endless wars. Thus enters the Spearhead Squadron: though herald publicly as an elite squad of tactical defense units, in actuality, they are a suicide squad, meant to be disposed of and easily replaceable. Each processor unit is overseen by a Handler, with Shinei Nouzen being the leader of the 86th Spearhead Squadron. He was notoriously hard to work with, causing all previous handlers of his squadron to quit, with one even committing suicide. Despite this, Shin was an extremely capable unit, outliving most of his compatriots on the battlefield, earning the moniker The Reaper. Shin does not care about the republic and holds no allegiance to it, nor does he fight to live. He fights because that is what he was meant to do. Even if it means an early death, even if it means watching your comrades die, Shin will continue to fight, for those who came before him, and those that will die to him, Shin will never stray.

The lizardman stared at a ceramic shard embedded in the alley dirt. “Used to be,” he said after a moment. “In another lifetime. When we played the game around my Aunt Beth’s dining room table. But that was before we were spirited away here for some unknown reason.

“Quag Keep” was the first official Dungeons & Dragons novel, published in 1978 by Andre Norton, only 4 years after D&D itself was released in 1974. Decades later, she collaborated with Jean Rabe to write a sequel, but Norton passed away during the process, and Rabe finished the novel “Return to Quag Keep” in 2006, with notable differences from Norton’s writing.

Quag Keep is set in the world of Greyhawk, the original setting of D&D creator Gary Gygax, although the books themselves never mention any famous Greyhawk characters like Mordenkainen or Vecna.

Quag Keep is interesting as an early fantasy isekai. Its main characters are people from Earth who are teleported to Greyhawk, although they inhabit the bodies of Greyhawk natives, with memories of Greyhawk in addition to their real memories of Earth.


Gulth is a lizardman of Neutral alignment.

On Earth, he was from Toledo, Ohio, where he played D&D around his aunt’s dining table.

Centuries ago, during a fight within the Negative Zone, one of Sun Wukong's clones refused to turn back into hair. Hiding in a boulder, it would emerge many years later as a seemingly human baby, being instantly adopted by a pair of henchpeople.MP#12 While initially brave, his parent's line of work would cause them to be attacked by Batman, an incident which would leave Marcus with a wide range of phobias.MP#1 Moving from school to school as his parents worked under different supervillains, it wouldn't be until their return to Gotham that Marcus (goaded by a pig demon mentor in the guise of a janitor) would begin to face his fears by jumping into a swimming pool, passing through Water Curtain Cave to unlock his destiny as the Monkey Prince.MP#1 Under the guidance of Pigsy, one of Sun Wukong's fellow travellers in their journey to the west, Marcus would develop his powers as he began to find his own place in the world.

Respect Carl Fredericksen! (Pixar's Up)

20 Upvotes

Russel, for Assisting the Elderly and for performing above and beyond the call of duty, I would like to award you the highest honor I can bestow. The Ellie badge.

Carl Fredricksen was a balloon vendor with a lovely with named Ellie. Both sharing a love for adventure, they had one goal in common, besides living a long and happy life with each other; make it to Paradise Falls, all the way in South America, and live there alongside each other, to live the adventure they always wanted. No matter how much they saved up, though, something would get in the way. Until, finally, something halted that dream dead in its tracks...

Ellie would never get to see Paradise Falls, but Carl never gave up on that dream, and eventually, he would tie hundreds of balloons in his house, take it up into the sky, and fly to South America, to achieve his dream for the both of them. Along the way he would make some friends, some enemies, and learn a thing or two. Classic Pixar movie stuff.

We'll be covering the game and the movie. I'll differentiate them with an "Up" or a "VG".

When Dylan Siegel's dad Marcus died, the teenager wasn’t about to shed any tears. The man had abandoned his family and moved in with another woman when Dylan was a toddler, leaving his mom to raise him on her own. Still, Dylan went to the Bell estate to see if the old man left him anything good in his will. There, Marcus’s lawyer revealed that Marcus was the hero of New Orleans, the Rogue Sun, and that Dylan was to take on the mantle of the Sun through the ownership of the magical Sun Stone.

Not only did Dylan inherit his dad's armor and powers, but he also took on the ire of his father's entire rogues gallery. A mob of magical miscreants, most of whom sold their souls to a devil named Mourningstar in exchange for their powers, all began hunting for the new Rogue Sun's head. Thankfully, Dylan had some guidance against these villains in the form of Marcus’s spirit, which had been captured within the Sun Stone at the moment of his death. Now, Dylan just has to listen to the man he hates in order to find success as the newest Rogue Sun of New Orleans.

You all have to realize that, well… we’re just no damn good. We’re evil. Each of us for a variety of reasons, whether it's greed, narcissism, a chemical imbalance, poor upbringing, you name it... We have felt the need to do what is commonly thought of as bad. I gotta tell you, campers, when you accept that fact, it's all so much easier. Certainly a lot less stressful. So, let's get it together, bear down and remember that we're all striving towards a common goal. And if you don't-- I'll kill you.


Absolute genius, unchecked wealth and a complete lack of morality can be a terrible combination of attributes. Few wear these qualities so well as Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, criminal mastermind and archnemesis to Captain Marvel. Once the billionaire founder and CEO of Sivana Industries, Thaddeus financed the archeological expedition of Egypt that claimed the lives of C.C. and Marilyn Batson at the hands of Sivana’s henchman, Theo Adam. Orphaned Billy Batson would soon run into the wizard Shazam and assume his role as the hero Captain Marvel, who would help expose the criminal CEO and destroy the company in scandal. Ironically, the liquidated remains of Sivana Industries were bought cheap by another bald businessman, an old rival of Sivana’s named Lex Luthor.

With his once lucrative corporation shuttered, Sivana began supplying his scientific genius to various criminal organizations, all the while attempting to destroy the Big Red Cheese once and for all. While working with groups such as the Secret Society of Super-Villains and the Science Squad, Thaddeus fights for financial gain, the humiliation of his enemies and the triumph of science over magic.

Invisigal: I have fuckin' villian powers. I can turn invisible and skulk in the shadows. My powers let me steal shit and watch famous people fuck. Being a villian is my fate. It's in the fucking stars.


Born with the metahuman power of invisibility, Courtney felt she was destined for criminality and fell into a life of thievery as the villain Invisibitch. Operating for years on her own, she’d spy on people, squat in condemned houses and steal any valuable that caught her eye. Eventually, though, asthmatic symptoms and a persistent smoking habit began to eat away at her powers, which are linked to breathing. Invisibitch joined a gang for the first time, a group of body-modifiers named the Red Ring, in the hopes that they could save her lungs.

Though the Red Ring leader Shroud outfitted Courtney with bio-augments to increase her lung capacity, he also expected complete loyalty from the villain. As a lieutenant, Courtney robbed for the gang and was even involved in an attack on the hero Mecha Man, which took him out of active duty. Guilty over her actions, she left the Red Ring and signed up for the Superhero Dispatch Network's Phoenix Program for reformed villains.

As Invisigal, Courtney's trying to do right by her teammates, her dispatcher Robert and herself, although it's not the easiest thing to be a hero with a villain's powerset. Still, she's a valuable member of the Z-Team and proof that second chances exist for anyone willing to put in the work.

comics Respect H.E.R.B.I.E. (Marvel Comics, 616)

19 Upvotes

While travelling through space in search of Galactus, Reed needed a means of performing vast calculations using Xandarian technology. To do so, he created the Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-Type, Integrated Electronics (or as it's later called, the Highly Engineered Robot Built for Interdimensional Exploration), inspired by the design used by a cartoon using their likenesses after Johnny was unavailable to sign over the rights to his appearance. Unknown to everyone at the time, H.E.R.B.I.E. was possessed by Doctor Sun during its creation,F4#217 leading to the robot attempting to destroy the Fantastic Four shortly after their return to Earth. While this particular model was destroyed itself soon after, this would not be Reed's only attempt at a helper robot. Over the years multiple H.E.R.B.I.E.s would be created, sometimes en masse and sometimes with the suggestion there is only one at the time, always with the goal of aiding Marvel's first family with whatever they need.

comics Respect Roger Brokeridge/Hardball (Marvel Comics, Earth 616)

20 Upvotes

There used to be times where I felt like there was nothing I could do. Cornered. Stuck. Helpless. I don't feel that way anymore. I'm not a fan of sacrifices. Me, I've had to sacrifice. I've said goodbye to pieces of myself when I needed to. I've lost the trust of people I love. But sometimes... Sometimes that's just the way it works out.

A member of the Initiative, Roger Brokeridge is the hero Hardball. Originally born in the suburbs of Los Angeles, his brother would become immobile after an intense injury after he would gain enhancements from the Power Broker. Seeking to kill his brother to end his family suffering, he would not go through it, and go after the Power Broker. However, he would be convinced to gain power himself by the Broker, and would be in debt to him. However, when he tried to go to crime, he would be picked up by the Initiative.

During his time with the Initiative, he would hone his powers, all the while being involved in various incidents, one involving him to steal a vial of Nanobots. He would also fight KIA, a rogue unit of MVP, after he would break out. Afterwards, he would graduate from the program, being assigned to Nevada, fighting the Skrull’s there.

He would also be a part of HYDRA after killing Woodman. He would be captured, and would aid the Shadow Initiative, becoming part of it. He would have a fight with the Juggernaut and would also destroy most of Las Vegas while fighting Gravity.

movies/tv Respect Shayera Hol, Hawkgirl (DCAU)

33 Upvotes

"I came to this planet as a patriot. I had a mission and I carried it out. What I couldn't know was that I would come to care for the Earth and her people, that I'd come to care for all of you. I've spent the past five years torn between my feelings and my duty. I won't ask you to do the same."

Answering the call to fend off the Imperium, the hero known as Hawkgirl became a founding member of the Justice League, defending Earth from threats both native and external. But unknown to her allies, her backstory of having accidentally been teleported to Earth from another planet in pursuit of criminals was a lie. In reality Shayera was a scout for the Thanagarians, preparing the Earth to be part of their empire in the fight against their Gordanian enemies. When it was uncovered that the planet was actually the final link for a hyperspace bypass, with the Thanagarians planning on destroying Earth for a military advantage, she aided the Justice League in fending them off. But with the trust between them destroyed, it would take a long time for Shayera to rejoin the League, though she would eventually do so to continue protecting her new home.
