Summary
ManMech was a Vtuber whose main gimmick was acting as a dorkish Mechaman impersonator. Its a known joke within his community that he's well overdue to be sued by the hero's lawyers for his burlesque parody.
Robert is just hoping that nobody makes the connection-- that they're actually the same person.

Summary
Robert Robertson III spent seven years believing the Mecha Man suit was the only extraordinary thing about him-the tech, the mission, the legacy, the perfect hero, the perfect soldier, the perfect legacy bearer for a family that never lived past forty. He patrolled the streets of Los Angeles until his bones ached and his bank account died, clinging to a hero name that cost him everything except the stray dog who refused to leave him. But the cold in his veins was never normal. The frost on his glass, the way he never felt heat, the way fire bent strangely around him. They were inheritance. Old inheritance.
And the first person to recognize what he is? - Flambae. A pyrokinetic disaster with a wicked grin, a criminal record, and enough fire to melt steel, or warm someone who can’t feel heat at all.
Robert isn’t looking for a partner. He isn’t looking for a destiny. He definitely isn’t looking for a fire-powered menace who thinks his existential crisis is “kinda cute.” But flame seeks cold, cold seeks flame, and sometimes the person who burns the world down is the only one who can thaw what’s frozen inside you.

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
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.

Summary
“Robbo?!” He exclaimed, “Where the hell are you going? You didn’t tell me about fucking moving?” He asked. “Look, I’m sorry but I can’t stay in that house, I need to move.” “You could move in with my family! I mean- I haven’t asked but I’m sure they’d be fine-”
“Just.. Good luck becoming Flambae.” He smiled as he walked past the teen, loading the outlying box into the small moving truck, and climbing into the front, putting in the keys and driving away from his childhood home, babysitter, and friend.
OR
Flambae and Robert were next door neighbors starting in middle school, but after Robert’s dad died when he was 17, he needed to move into a smaller apartment once he graduated, losing contact with him.
