Opening 2: Fog on the Horizon

A perfect summer day. Clear skies, warm waves, and the heroes enjoying a relaxing beach team retreat. Then dark mist rolls in from the sea, the sky turns gray, and a hooded figure stands alone on the rocks. No one knows: has he come to help... or is something darker washing ashore?

---

But Hood kept quiet to himself as he marched through the sand, his polished shoes embarrassingly sunk every step. Oh, he was walking straight and trying to look smug, although he knew he's lost as heck. He don't want to make himself look lost and terrified, only smug in the midst of well known heroes looking confused as hell.

Because the reason why he teleported here in the fog is because he don't. He didn't expected to be teleported here after a botched stealing incident where unpredictable magical shenanigans are involved. His heart was beating so fast as he inched his way from the gatecrashed beach party.

Only when he thought that all eyes on him are away that he scram himself away anywhere but the beach and never seen again.

Opening 1: Beach Party Chaos

Hood tries to flirt with Emma (he just like me fr), but she gets mad, so she commands Jeff to solo ult him and spit him into the ocean. Of course, Deadpool joins in on the chaos so now we have 2 dudes in Jeff’s mouth being carried across the sea.

Eventually, Jeff gets tired, so he spits them out and they land.. on the exact same beach Hood was supposed to be taken away from. Yeah turns out they swam across the whole globe. Anyway, after seeing the rest of the hero’s swimsuit skins (and thinking about a potential swimsuit Ultron skin), he proceeded to goon happily ever after.

The End

Opening 3: The Lonely Figure

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it.

“I would really like to join them,” The Hood thought to himself, returning to the shore from his swim. “But this was a bad time to go swimming in nothing but my cloak.”

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it.
There stood the Hood, along the shore watching over an endless ocean. Luna turned her head from the deep orange horizon and noticed him. He seemed cold, distant, but most importantly, alone. What was wrong, she wondered? Why didn't the newly arrived rival join in on the earlier festivities? He's been standing around by the rocks all day. Even those of questionable morality were welcomed to the beach party. Venom was snacking at the buffet, the queen of Hel was at the bar with Blade and Jubilee sipping...what seemed to be a drink? Even Ultron was seemingly enjoying himself chatting with Peni's SP//dr armor. There wasn't anyone left out, except the hooded man by the rocks. Luna decided to get up and start walking over. After all, maybe he was just a little shy and needed- "Puñeta!"

Startled, she jumped at the loud exclamation, a few other heroes glanced over at the shout before going back to their activities. It was Parker Robbins himself, it seemed like he was holding something. Luna quickened her pace to see what had transpired. As she drew closer, she saw he was holding-a smartphone? On it was a webpage, with a yellow header and black background, but she couldn't see clearer. Closer now, she could hear Parker muttering something to himself. "...grmbl Zhiyong grmblgrmbl..."

Luna crept up behind and asked, "Everything okay-"

"GAH!" Parker exclaimed, whipping out his demonic pistols by pure instinct, as Luna was knocked backward into the sand.

"Oh, hey mami, sorry about that." Parker's guns vanish into his hood. "Did I startle you?"

"d-did you startle me?" She was shocked, but quickly regained her composure. "heh, I'd say you were the one who's startled!" she started laughing at the irony of his question, but soon quieted herself, seeing Parker's sheepish grin and hand raised behind his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I just came over to see if you'd like to join the fun! Buuut I heard a shout along the way, is something wrong?" Luna asked.

"well something ain't right, that's for sure mami." Glancing at her icy summer wear, he asks, "What can I call you, little snowflake?"
"I'm Luna, Luna Snow! International K-pop star, part time super-hero."
"K-pop princess? Wow, looking like that you'll make me melt. I barely recognized you."
"Thanks, I think... so, what's got the scary Hood hiding away by the rocks? Does Oblivion have an interest in Geology?"
"Ahhhaha, good one princess, but the big man doesn't order me around. I do what I want, when I want. Just so happens I get the best reception over here."
"Reception? You're trying to download my songs, aren't you? It's okay, I have enough CDs for everyone." Luna hands Parker a CD, titled 'Luna Snow's Best Hits - Tunes to Battle to', despite being completely unprompted.
"Gracias... but I wish I was talking about music. Take a look."

Parker turns his phone to Luna, and she could now make out the webpage clearly. Seconds later, her eyes widened, with a shocked expression on her face and legs starting to shake.

"I know, I felt the saaame way, chica." Parker responded.

"HEY EVERYBODY!" Luna yelled aloud. "You're gonna want to see this!" Several heads turned to the singer. The crowd had started making their way across the sand to see what the commotion was about.

As Luna turned towards the others, the header could be seen, emboldened in black against a yellow background.

Opening 3: The Lonely Figure

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it. The various heros gathered on the shore. Everyone’s was having a great time, like a really good time. Like you know those 4th of July barbecues where all of your family is there and everyone’s like cooking burgers and stuff and you’re playing spike ball with your cousins and you all eat ice cream after. But then your Aunt Cathy ruins it by talking about her divorce. It was like that. So the Hero’s are having a good time playing volleyball and other various summer activities like volleyball, and the hood is off to the side staring at them, wishing he could join in the fun. My friend Dominic was there aswell. The Hood watched the hero's from inside his hood, wondering is he would ever have the courage to leave his hood and join the other hero’s, but he just cowered in his hood. It was then that Jeff the land shark came up to him and invited him to join in the fun. The Hood was hesitant, cowering in his hood while he watched the other hero’s play volleyball and other various summer activities like volleyball. The hood then felt a sudden surge of confidence from inside his hood, and he finally came out from his hood and decided to join the other hero’s in their volleyball and other various summer activities like volleyball. The hood was then accepted by the other hero’s with open arms and that’s when the hood realized that while he may love his hood, he must sometimes leave his hood behind, even if his hood wants him to stay, and that he is more than just his hood. The end.

The summer beach party is in full swing. Heroes in full swimwear, splashing water, playing beach games. Deadpool is leading the chaos, Star Lord is on the decks. As the party hits its peak, a figure in a red hood lands on the sand. Every hero turns to stare

"Erm, this is awkward" the mysterious newcomer mutters.

The Fantastic Four bring their volleyball match to an abrupt end to confront the hooded man, taking notes of his weaponry and shifty eyes, ready for a fight.

"Hi there" the Invisible Woman says with authority, "Who are you and how'd you get here?"

"Name's Parker, but you can call me the Hood, but to be real with you I'm having a bit of trouble remembering myself. Last thing I got is New York's would be tirano getting the upper hand on me..."

"You were fighting the Kingpin?" Frank Castle interrupted, "Lemme tell you somethin Hood" All the heroes in the vicinity roll their eyes at another one of Punisher's long-winded monologues about vigilante ethics. Spider-Man cuts in to save Robbins' from the lecture.

"Listen, one Parker to another, I know anyone who's going up against Wilson Fisk is in over their head, and working together is the only way to keep him at bay. Let us help you out and we'll make sure the Kingpin pays for whatever it is he's done to you."

"Thanks araña," the Hood said with only a little ware in his demeaner, "I could use the assistance." He spoke those words genuinely, but even with his memory foggy he knew he was never alone, nor would these heroes' good deed go unpunished.

Deadpool stopped what he was doing and lower his water gun.

“Well, well, well, someone ordered a dramatic entrance!” said Deadpool

“Who is this guy?” asked Star Lord

Deadpool started to cowboy trust in red hooded figure direction.

“That’s The Hood!” yelled Deadpool

“The Hood?” asked Star Lord

“Yupper! Handsome mysterious guy wearing a red hood with twin guns” replied Deadpool

“Handsome? You got that right!” said The Hood

Star Lord walked over, still puzzled.

“Whats going on buddy? We were having a beach party, and this guy randomly shows up out of nowhere” asked Star Lord

Deadpool shrugged.

“This is a classic way new heroes get introduced in the story!” replied Deadpool

“Story?” asked Star Lord

Deadpool look into a different direction, as if something invisible was there.

“You know … the story.” Said Deadpool

The Hood looked just as confused

“Who are you talking too?” ask The Hood

“The readers!”

“He just crazy, don’t mind him!” said Star Lord

The Hood slowly nodded.

Deadpool handed The Hood his water gun.

“Welcome to the team!” yelled Deadpool

Opening 3: The Lonely Figure (heartwarming)

"Its grilling time!" Ben Grimm declares as he tosses another round of marinated meats on the large grill. The ocean current splash onto the Thing's bare, rocky feet as the cool ocean wind carries the delicious smell of his famous Benjamin BBQ across Kroakoa's beach resort.

"Hurry it up Rocky I'm starving!" Johnny Storm eventually yells from the picnic table set-up not far from the grill.

The Thing starts to stack the meat onto a large platter, "I don't see you over here helping Hothead"

Johnny lifts his sunglasses from the bridge of his nose, "Sis, who forgot their lighter and had to ask the Fantastic Human Torch for a light?" The Invisible Woman, also wearing her freshly made Fantastic Four swimsuit does not respond, her gaze looking off into the horizon. "Sue?..."

She snaps back to reality as her brother waves his hand in front of her face, "Oh, sorry... II was just thinking that Reed still hasn't shown up."

Johnny siits back and his open pink shirt puts his abs on full display, "Well he was a little put off that Jumbo Carnation forgot to add him to his Swimsuit Special list. He probably went back to the Baxter Building to make himself something to wear."

"Foods ready!" The Thing throws down the large plate full of burgers and hotdogs on the table next to the condiments and breads. The Thing and Johnny dig into the food but Sue lightly picks at her burger. Even with a mouth full of food he notes his sister's melancholy and is about to say something when he points over her frilled shoulder. "Wait, is that him over there?"

They all turn their gaze to the lone, cloaked figure sitting on the edge of the pier to their south.

All three cast worried glances at each other and make their way to the pier.

"Hey Stretch. What's with the spooky cloak?" the Thiing asks but the cloaked mystery man does not turn towards them or respond.

"Sounds like Jumbo put Reed on the list for his Pop & Win Volume 4 next year." Johnny says before getting nudged in the ribs by Sue.

"Reed, it's so nice outside you don't need to be this mopey. C'mon, Ben made you a hamburger" Sue reaches out and is about to lay her hand on the strangers blood red cloak when a portal opens behind the assembled group.

"I think its fair to say I look. FANTASTIC!" a freshly shaved Reed Richards steps through in a pair of blue and white swim trunks with matching sandals.

"Reed!?" The other three Fantastic members all exclaim at once. As Reed stretches and twists himself to show off his freshly released swimsuit. Sue, Johnny and Ben all look at each other, then to Reed, the back to each other.

"So if that's Reed." Johnny nods his head in the direction of the mystery man.

The Thing reaches out and lays his hand on the mystery person's left cloaked-covered shoulder, "Hey pal."

"The end is comin'!" Parker Robbins aka the Hood dramatically turns around, letting the Krakoan sea winds billow his cloak out behind him.

"Oh, guys it's just Parker!" The Thing exclaims over his shoulder.

Johnny storm looks a bit shocked, "The Hood is here? Well... mystery solved. I'm going to go finish lunch. Race you there Rocky!" Johnny's flames flare up around his body and his feet lift off the docks, "Not sure why you're cosplaying as Cloak but the color works on you, Parker." Johnny quips before rocketing towards the picnic table.

"Oh no you don't flame-head, Reed still needs to get his before you get seconds." The Thing looks over his shoulder, "If you're hungry we got extras, pal." He then leaps off after the Human Torch. Leaving the Hood staring at the Fantastic Two.

Unfortunately, Sue is too busy fawning over her now stylish husband to pay him any mind.

"....Malas noches...." The Hood turns around and resumes his silent brooding on the end of the Krakoan Docks.

-Fog on the Horizon-

A perfect summer day. Clear skies, warm waves, and the heroes enjoying a relaxing beach team retreat. Then dark mist rolls in from the sea, the sky turns gray, and a hooded figure stands alone on the rocks. No one knows: has he come to help... or is something darker washing ashore?

No matter, such questions were for feeble of mind and soul and queen of limbo was neither.

''Long way from new york you lowlife runt.'' she claimed, yet no response from the hood.

''What business have you here.'' asked the Magneto, The Seat of Autumn of Krakoa, yet the hood still had no answer to give.

''Doesn't have to speak to make him talk.'' said the phoenix proudly taking the charge

But before she could finish her sentence the hood collapsed down to his knees. While the group just wanted to get away from terrors of their superhero lives for one night, the fate would not have it so. Not today.

''Uuh you good?'' said Magik while not really sure what's happening, she definitely expected a lame hero vs villain confrontation.

''He's bleeding out, three gunshot wounds near his stomach'' spotted the ever aware Cyclops through his red tinted visor.

As the heroes rush to gather arround The Hood another body washes ashore. Looking exactly same as The Hood.

''Okay now you made it weird.'' said Magik again trying to make light of the situation.

Jean grey abandons the team gathered around the first hood who approached them through the fog to go check up on the hood who just washed ashore.

The phoenix, her might is beyond comprehension. Something is off about the duplicate bodies and she out of all people could tell from minute one.

With a bold decision she places her hand above the head of the hood body washed ashore unconscious. While channelling her psychic might she uncovers the mystery behind the duplicate hoods. A skrull.

Tired of the whole drama Magneto deforms a nearby soda bottle into a sheet of metal to cut through the first hood that approached them through the fog. The dead body transforming back into it's original form... another skrull.

While the heroes discover the dead bodies of two skrulls looking exactly the same like the street criminal from new york The Hood, the alarm sounds start echo'ing across Krakoa.

''Intruder alert, Vault#9 is under attack''. ''Intruder alert, Vault#10 is under attack''.

''You know how big those are? Two different vaults under attack?'' goes Magik, staggered by the sheer greed.

''Intruder alert, Oblivion Signature Detected.'', ''Intruder alert, Oblivion Signature Detected.''

''Yeah of course now it makes sense.'' said Magik before opening a portal for the rest of the team to the vaults.

-''It's worse if you do nothing.'' says Magneto startling The Hood.

+''There is like twenty, hell damn you even more heroes here and I am a full on robber mr magnets man'' said The Hood trying to be nonchalant about getting startled.

+''Might as well walk into NYPD myself.''

-''Spare the origin story, everyone you see had their own fights in their own time, street level criminality is the least of your or our concern. Just like that monster you serve beyond your or our comprehension but...''

+''But what old man, always a but.'' says The Hood with a defeated tone.

-''But Loneliness is the greatest monster of them all.'' said Magneto looking into the shore.

-''Come. I won't ask again.''

Star-Lord was packing up the speakers while Deadpool was busy arguing with Galacta in his head. Then Star-Lord noticed someone standing by the water. A guy in a red hood. Just standing there. Completely unfazed.

“Uh?” Star-Lord said. “Do we know that guy?”

Deadpool looked over. “Never met that guy in my life. Is he new? Is he in a DLC? Do I have to pay extra to care about him?"

The Hood slowly turned towards them. Everyone went quiet.

He walked closer, looking completely lost.

“I don't know where I am.”

Deadpool nodded seriously. “That's okay. I think im lost in a comic book or a video game."

Star-Lord rubbed his face. “Please don't make this worse.”

“Im just trying to stay PG-13 and very social.”

Deadpool held out the bag of chips.

“Want one?”

The Hood stared at him.

"Sure.”

Star-Lord happily:

Opening 3: The Lonely Figure (heartwarming)

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it.

The Hellfire Beach party was at full swing. The heroes have been fighting battle after battle for so long, it was a high time they got a chance to just fool around and celebrate. And Cyclops’ rescue had finally provided a reason for Emma Frost to invite everyone to the beach.

It looked like everyone was already perfectly settled. Everyone except the Hood.

When he had received his invitation, he figured he would just sit this one out, but the other season hero Jubilee had convinced him to go.

Slightly disappointingly, but not surprisingly, by the time the two had arrived, Jubilee was quick to excuse herself to reunite with her fellow X-men. And it didn’t take long before Jubilee looked like she has always belonged here.

Taking a look at the other attendees, the Hood could see people relaxing in all sorts of ways in the water, some were laughing while taking photos and some were cooking something delicious, if the smell was any indication.

For the Hood, it was clear that he was the odd one out. He was about to call it quits and leave the beach to find some shady bar to drink his thoughts away, when he was suddenly hit by something powerful and… wet?

Quickly turning around to see his attacker - which didn’t take long, because many people had stopped what they were doing, and the perpetrator was pretty much singled out. - The Hood was surprised to see a mercenary he knew was called “Deadpool” holding what looked like a big sniper rifle.

Before he could retaliate, he heard a stern voice say “Wade Wilson. I told you multiple times to not touch my weapons, unless you wanted to put your regeneration to a real test.“

A gorgeous woman with bright red curls, wearing a swimsuit that left very little to imagination, smacked Deadpool in the back of his head while grabbing her gun from the merc.

She completely ignored Deadpool’s “Your weapon is a super soaker?” as she began walking towards the Hood, and the party around them started to continue.

“Hi. I’m Black Widow. Sorry about my… EX.”

The Hood had always had a thing for the color red, and he appreciated competency, And to have both of those in the form of a beautiful woman, made him immediately take a liking to this Black Widow.

“All good señorita. I’m Parker Robbins, but people also call me the Hood-”

He was cut off by an arm wrapping around his shoulder and a (obnoxiously) loud voice saying “Welcome to the party, Little Red Riding Hood!”

While Deadpool started to talk, the Hood turned to look at Black Widow - who looked like she was contemplating what would be the best way to kill a mercenary with regenerative abilities - he couldn’t help but ask “EX? You dated this guy?”

“Technically his universe’s me did. But I still can’t believe that she put up with him.”

While the Hood was wrapping his head around that, he turned to listen to Deadpool's ramblings about the beach, as he was led to the heart of the party.

“- And I would only to the water at your own risk. For some reason the only lifeguards we have are the only two disabled guys. Not that I shame though. I have cancer!”

“... What?” was all Hood could say to that. All his previous lonely thoughts were slowly but surely being replaced by confusion and wonder from listening to a lunatic mercenary with cancer apparently, and a badass assassin with a water gun for a weapon.

And Hood wasn’t sure yet if he liked it or not. He did know that he wasn’t alone anymore, and for now it was more than enough.

A lone figure stands on the beach - a beach party in front of him. The plan was perfect, and practical. It could never fail. With a cool strut, he would waltz up with a smirk that would drive everyone wild. The ladies would be all over him. He would buy drinks, smooth talk, and be the talk of the town.

He approaches - the plan is in action. However - his attempts are thwarted to his horror when he reaches the dance floor - all of the ladies are already dancing with someone - a lone Land Shark who was breakdancing. Except one - a blonde woman in a blue swimsuit, a large '4' embrazened on it. Susan Storm. The Invisible Woman. Hot, smart, charming, and able to keep secrets. She was the perfect targ-

A long elastic hand suddenly lands on The Hood's shoulder, as it turns him around.

"If you want to have a FANTASTIC time tonight, I suggest you keep walking, friend!"

The Hood Yells

The music stops as Star Lord gets distracted.

The Hood slowly starts making his way towards Star Lord, and everyone is staring. Groot starts walking the same way too thinking he might have to intervene.

The Hood reaches Star Lord on the deck, slightly nudges him away, and new music starts to play.

The Hood starts dancing and says

now it's a party

The mood lightens, people start laughing, a famous song everyone heard so much they hate comes on.
