#i think in general we should lean more into the 'self-aggrandizing actor' bit of hotguy

you know what would be a fun hotguy au actually. play fully into "he's an action star reliving his glory days" and say that scar is an actor who stared in the hotguy movies. he's in his forties at least now and much less capable of doing his own stunts than he once was, but he still considers himself hotguy and takes some pride in at least doing SOME of his own stunts. but the key here is that he's a "fairly athletic for a guy in his late forties" actor, NOT a superhero. (grian, his partner and assistant, reminds him this a lot.)
but the man who came to just ask him for help doesn't know that.
skizz doesn't know that.
skizz thinks hotguy is real.
and skizz is in real trouble. the kind of trouble that needs a hero. the kind of trouble he's not sure he knows how to get out of again.
so what does it hurt if scar just... pretends for long enough to get the real authorities to skizz? what does it hurt if scar tries to be hotguy for a little bit? he plays him on tv, how hard could it be?
and things devolve from there,
