SCREECHES LOUDLY AND FLIES INTO THE SUN
IZZY. IZZY. ;//////; wwahhhhh I think Nell has got to be my favourite thing in this???? She just looks so cool. And also vicious, little Damian snarling???? wowowo <3333 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Okay, so I figured I might as well spill my headcanon?? Basically, after a while, Colin's body starts becoming immune to the Venom - or so he thinks. Where he normally could've transformed at will, it's no longer that easy and it becomes a liability to take him on patrols because they don't know how reliable his transformations will be (the suit under the jacket can stretch).
He's, naturally, bummed about that - it took him a long time to tell Damian and Nell (it wasn't until they were in a really tight situation where they needed to rely on him but he didn't quite make it that they finally talked).
Colin would probably be doing something or the other - out eating lunch, walking home from school - when he comes across something bad happening. Some thugs hassling an old lady or kids, idk. His instincts kick in and he confronts them. He mentally still flicks that switch that will turn him into Abuse, but, forgetting that he can't transform, nothing happens. He'd almost get beaten up before he strikes back, surprisingly, with the strength Abuse has, not his normal strength. And, bam! That's when he realizes that he's not losing his powers, he doesn't need to transform anymore - his muscles have gotten used to that amount of strength and don't need to be that bulk or smth idk. Comics science.
So, anyway, he books it out of there wearing that jacket - I still haven't decided who gave it to him - but his initials are, as you can see, stitched across the back of it. Nell or Damian tells him the trouble about this after he breaks the good news to them so, the next time, he fights crime in that same jacket and announces himself - hastily - Crusading Warrior, Crusader for short.
Yeah. Um.
Oh, and on an unrelated note, the colours for Haste (Jai's alias) are just the inverse of Impulse's (Irey's). So red for white and white for red. Um. Yeah. The yellow's still the same though.
Basically trying to figure stuff out?? I guess I'll do design sheets for the more complicated costumes. Um. If Liam were roped into this, it'd be in some crazy multiverse clashing type thing. Do I have a headcanon for how that would work? Yes. Am I too embarrassed to share? Yup. I did modify Liam's costume a little and, out of sheer masochism, gave him a compound bow...
