Summary
Every power has a price. Something that would make you laugh at the irony if it wasn't so damn infuriating. A man with the strength of ten at the height of half of one. A woman with asthma who needs to hold her breath to stay invisible. A walking fireball who can lose his eyebrows to a rogue flame.
So of course when Robert realized he wasn't powerless, he could only laugh at the irony.
An immortal man who wishes he was dead really was the icing on the cake.

Summary
Robert Robertson does not have superpowers. He was born completely normal, regular, plain. No deviations, nothing new, nothing special. Following the schematic.
But just because someone is born normal doesn't mean they stay that way.
An accident with the Mecha Man suit in his teenage years leaves Robert down a heart, and cybernetically enhanced, his ability to continue living tied to the suits power- and to the Astral Pulse. -

Summary
Robertsons didn't have powers. Even the insinuation they needed them always drove his father into a bad mood. No, the Robertson's power was meant to be sheer determination, strength, intelligence. What a shame then that Robert has been born with the most useless and embarrassing one.

Summary
A fight with a reality bender and an overloaded Astral Pulse lands Robert and his Mechaman suit into a different universe altogether, one where his dad never died and Mechaman Astral was still in active duty.
It should be a kinder universe with one less tragedy, but it's not. Not when this universe's Robert had died young instead.

Summary

Summary
Robert knew it could happen. The damage to his back from the fall was immense, and there was a chance, but he didn't think it would happen. He didn't think his legs would give up on him. He didn't think there might be a way to fix it. He didn't think the team would care. Seems he got a lot wrong. Might as well take the time to find out who he is without the pressure of Mecha Man on his shoulders and the inability to use his legs. Good thing Flambae is willing to carry him until the uphill battle is won.

Summary
“You are gathered here because we’re being asked to take in another villain and allow him to join the Z-Team… Effective immediately,” Blazer explained, all of the villains suddenly sitting up at attention.
“Wait- You wanna bring in another bitch?” Prism asked, Blazer sighing a bit.
“We don’t have a choice-”
“Yes you do! To fight and tell them we can’t fit anyone else here!”
“Guys- I know there is a cause for alarm and- A lot of opinions. However, this time around we don’t have a choice. I can’t just turn them away. He… He doesn’t have anywhere to go,” Blazer said, Invisigal raising a brow as she sat up in her chair. She pulled out a single earbud, her music still blasting in her left ear as she spoke.
“And what will they do if we don’t? Can’t we just send him to another team?” She asked.
“If we refuse to put him on the team? I was told they were going to- They were going to get rid of him. Permanently,”

Malevola and Sonar invite Robert along with them for a night on the town, and they inevitably get into another bar fight.
Good thing the Z-Team members aren't incredibly overprotective of their squishy and breakable, non-superpowered dispatcher. Right?

Summary
The figure… It's Robert. It has to be.
Waterboy tries to step back, but he stumbles on the wet floor, thudding into the shipping container beside him. Robert goes still.
His head jerks up, eyes rolling wildly to make contact. Bloodshot. He's crouched on the floor of the warehouse like an animal, low and cornered. Blood is splattered over his face, and as he lifts his head, Waterboy can tell it's streaked down his chin like he must have sunk his teeth into something and held on. When he bares his teeth, they've been licked clean.
He shakily, slowly, like the movement’s might provoke an attack, fumbles for his radio. “Guys? Uh- found- I. I Robert found- no, that's not. I found- uhm.”
(Warning changed to Mature because of the violence. Just to be safe, honestly.)

Summary
Blonde Blazer focused on him with a bittersweet look. Posture weary as her shoulders were slightly slumped into themselves, her hands tightened into fists. "Chase." She sighed. "I was just looking for you. Come in."
They both entered her office, tension settling in the room as she beckoned him to her desk where her computer sat.
"We found Robert."

Am I going against canon and only going based off the first four episodes? Yes. Do I have a thing for my favourite characters gaining avian-like traits? Absolutely fucking yes.

They've grown accustomed to not having any backup - nobody really wanted to stick their neck out for some ex-villains. In a way, it helped them rely on each other more.

There just had to be a jewelry store next door, that just had to have some desirable piece on display that made it the perfect target for an early morning heist...and it just had to be next to a fucking daycare.
Did Robert know the guy had a gun? Yes. But what he didn't know was that the bastard had gotten in a lucky shot.
Fuck his incredibly high pain tolerance.

Summary
The Z-Team didn’t like Robert.
They were villains. They were fuck ups. They each had a giant chip on their shoulders that barely let them stand next to each other on a good day. As soon as his voice first came on the group call, they had to give him shit. If they didn’t start harassing him, the Blonde Boss Lady would have benched them thinking they were being mind controlled.
Every handler thought they could “handle” the Phoenix team. Tame them, make them palatable, water them down. Turn them good. So they didn’t like Robert.
But they did like his voice.

Summary
Robert Robertson had grown used to the Z-team's constant HR violations, and what they discussed during work hours. So a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill about fellow superheroes during break time isn't too out of the ordinary.
What he isn't used to is what they have to say about Mecha Man.
