Summary
The first Mecha Man to grace L.A. was titled Mecha Man Prime, being the first in the legacy of non-powered humans to make a difference as a hero. The second Mecha Man named himself Astral and made his debut in L.A. as the leader of a group of heroes.
Robert was supposed to be the third Mecha Man. His father would have wanted that for him, but disappointing his father isn't new to him anyway.
In Robert's defense, he had a very valid crash out after his dad was murdered a decade ago. In his opinion, this leads to his very reasonable agenda of hunting down the man who murdered him. It sucks, because it's his target is beloved by the entire damn State.
L.A.'s third Mecha Man, Elliot Connors.

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.

*A selfie of him standing outside, holding Beef in his other arm. He smiles at the camera, hair slightly tousled and the first button of his SDN work shirt undone.*
I was informed of my new fame and decided to finally make an account. Glad to see that my work behind a desk doesn’t go unrecognised. This is Beef :)

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
Because Robert said he wanted to grow closer with the z-team, Chase has decided to bring cartridges with embarrassing videos from Robert's past. At least, they're supposed to be embarrassing, but the z-team has a bad habit of picking the traumatic ones.
