Summary
Shroud was a bad man. He took what he wanted whenever he wanted and never thought about the repercussions—relying on his probabilities and calculations to ensure success. If it wasn’t a guarantee, then he would make it a 100%. He was relentless, cunning, and wicked smart.
But “Robbie” Robertson or Astral was worse. Or at least that’s what Robert told himself. Sure, Shroud made him kill when he didn’t want to. He had physically hurt him countless times; the scars that littered his body were a reminder every day of what it was like to get on his bad side. However, Robbie was verbally aggressive, neglectful, and a barely there father. He would reprimand him for the smallest of things, and when he was hurt, it was always the words “get up” uttered out of his mouth.

Or Robert is basically kidnapped and raised by Shroud to be a human machine. But when he fails to get the Pulse the second time, intercepted by the Z-team and is taught what it truly means to get on Shroud's bad side. Now he has to navigate a life with his emotions running rampant, all the while being entered into the Phoenix program with a bunch of ex-villains, in hopes that he may become a hero.Bookmarked by An_Enigma

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 the third wasn't real.
Sure, he looked real. Looked human.
He could speak and touch and do everything a regular normal person could. He wasn't extraordinary, no powers, no impressive physical prowess. He was the definition of an ordinary man.
Except that he was Mecha Man.
Oh, and he wasn't a man at all. He was The Astral Pulse, his father's greatest scientific achievement.
~~~
Or my own take on Astral Pulse Robert au.
A study in autonomy, personhood, humanity, and how having shitty narcissistic parents that see you as nothing but a tool can fuck someone up well into adulthood.
Well let's hope a band of stubborn misfit ex-villains can help with sorting out that last one.
Inspired by JUBE514's astral pulse Robert fic! It's very good so if you like this concept go read theirs!
