Radioactive Hero (but not really) au

Danny moves to Gotham, hear him out! There's really good jobs there that pay through the nose and the cost of living is cheap!

Plus, the city is riddled with heroes and vilains! It's so easy to slip under the radar!

Unfortunately, there are so many civilian casualties. Like, all the time. Even in Metropolis!

So Danny, for his first year in Gotham, opens small portals to the Far Frozen and gets schooled on being a field medic. None of his powers can really be used for healing, but they can make people feel better. He just has to be careful to be as far removed from the Phantom moniker as possible, so he can't use any obvious powers.

He gets a bit of a reputation in Gotham; a small time hero of the people, for the people. A hero not invested in fighting, but in dragging civilians away from the danger. He doesn't even have a moniker; people are too busy arguing over the best one for him.

So while aliens are attacking both Metropolis and Gotham, Danny is out in full kit; a gas mask to hide his face, all black, repurposed kevlar from the vests the GCPD did not properly dispose of, no identifying markers.

But one of the clean up crews notices something insanely worrying; the geiger counter they have to point at alien spaceship parts? Yeah. Yeah, it's going off when they point it at the new small-time hero.

That hero's power is radioactivity. Holy shit. It's not at a level that will hurt people, but when he's dodging through fighting the level goes up.

The clean up crew concludes and shares via Twitter that the medic-hero is only a danger to others if he gets too stressed.

Word spreads fast, and pretty soon the absolute second Danny shows up on a scene, all fighting stops.

After all, no one wants to piss off the living Nuclear Bomb.

Basically, Danny's ghost-everything sets off Geiger counters, and now absolutely everyone is convinced that the medic-themed hero only refuses to fight because his meta power is just...being radioactive.

But he isn't.

So now, because it's the perfect cover and completely disassociated from Phantom, he has to play along and pretend like yes; that is his power.

Obsessed with the idea of the Rouges' having some type of truce with Danny, like the goons avoid him and the battle slows down significantly when he's on the scene.

However we all know how Joker is, very into the idea he plays along only to go right after Danny while he's giving medical care to a kid. Especially if that child he was treating was a child of the local mob, politician or rich person.

Just Danny lighting up in that neon green haze and maybe even electricity crackling, geiger counters across the field going crazy as he just decks Joker in the jaw and sending him flying back 3 blocks away from his patient.

When the dust settles folks see Joker with a huge scorch mark on his jaw, and in very desperate need of a radiation elimination scrubbing. The kid is completely fine, if anything they have a new favorite hero! Easiest and fastest way a battle with Joker had ended and civilians become weirdly possessive and protective over Danny since.

Just all of Gotham going "Shit he's a good one. We're not sharing!" The possibilities are endless and I love it here.

My favorite part is that I'm imagining Danny just tending to this kid, Joker about two feet away, and all that the bystanders see is Danny suddenly standing up straight, facing the direction that Joker had gone flying with a fist in the air. Then just kinda going back to the kid

Man ends up giving the joker cancer, except the cancer came from all the chemicals joker deals with but everyone is like

THIS THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT WAY FOR JOKER TO DIE

A death caused by his own hubris, not dramatic not causing a rift in the superhero community because one of the Bats had enough, but because he was STUPID

new hc just dropped now canon for me in lue of plot reasons otherwise in any story

Yeah, the Joker *would* be dumb enough to go after someone known to be a human nuke. His reaction to someone who melts people's brains if they look at her for too long was to *put her on TV*. And then he got all surprised-Pikachu when she got mad and tried to melt *his* brain.

Unity is fucking up so bad rn that I saw several indie devs on twitter saying they did the math and it would literally be cheaper for them to hire a small team to port their games out of Unity rather than pay the install fee. Like if Unity had a monopoly they could MAYBE get away with this bcs there wouldn't be any other options, but I can think of at least three different game engines off the top of my head rn(and it's entirely possible for a studio with the right resources to just make their own) so the CEO has literally, in ONE day, made it easier and cheaper for everyone to just stop using his product than to pay the fees they're asking for. This dude is speedrunning destroying his company. He saw Elon Musk nuke twitter and went "hold my beer". Fucking incredible. I'd almost think it was on purpose if it wasn't so goddamn stupid.

First DND gets razed to the ground after trying to make supplement writers pay up, then Twitter gets abandoned by everybody who doesn't want to bankroll Elon's technofascist wet dreams, "but surely, SURELY the problem is just they didn't ask for ENOUGH MONEY"

It's almost like people don't like working with you after you expose yourself to be a greedy, selfish, untrustworthy asshole 🤔

I nominate Unity for a Darwin Award 😂
