Summary
They weren’t after her because she was Blonde Blazer, no. They were just so sure of Robert’s - of Mecha Man’s - heroism. They knew he’d come if they used a dispatcher as bait, knew he would put literally anyone above himself if it meant being able to save them.
Unfortunately for them, they’d kidnapped Mandy.

Summary
Robert's hand dives into the box and eventually pulls out a bubble-wrapped object. He's careful when he unwraps it, taking it layer by layer until the Mecha Man figure is on full display. He holds it up so it faces Mandy and places it right next to his cheek — he grins.

Summary
"The difference between a martyr and a hero is that one of them is dead.
Mecha Man was strange in this sense. Whereas the body dies, the hero lives. And after a decade, Robert, the body, felt like he already had one foot in the grave."
The aches of more than a decade of hero work catch up to Robert. He comes to realize that he now has people he can lean on when he starts to stumble.

Summary
“That’s kind of depressing,” Blonde Blazer murmurs, shuffling a stack of papers.
“You learn to deal,” says Robin. She leans towards Blazer, tone conspiratorial. “One time, a villain said I was ‘the Mecha Man version of Scrappy-Doo?’ That was my actual low point.”

It was searingly obvious that Dad would have preferred another strapping young boy, Bobby’s stock, but giving fate the finger was an old family tradition by that point.
