Extra Logan AUs

Great News: I finally came up with an interesting plot for the remaining Logan. You guys won’t find it out, though, until the chapter… 😉.

But, hey, there are some extra AUs on the Miraculous Fandom that would be fun to explore the different Logans.

I am big fan of what @artzychic27, @msweebyness, and @imsparky2002are doing with their AUs (Class of Heroes and VIllains is such a good concept. And, as someone who grow up with disney, seeing different views on the characters are always great). So, why not joining the mess!

(Fun Fact: considering how much I like to write Logan as being an outcast compared to the rest of his schoolmates, he usually escapes a bit of the theme of the AU).

Class of Villains:

Pitch Logan (Pitch Black, Rise of the Guardians):

- Instead of being a Disney villain, he is a dreamworks villain.

- Pitch Logan feeds from the nightmares and fears from the kids and adults of the whole world… but, unfortunately for him, the guardians are here to stop his plans.

- He wants his schoolmates to succeed, because, if they do, people’s faith in the guardians will shrink, and he will be able of bring the world to another Age of Fear.

- Sometimes, though, to make sure the villains will do something favorable to him, he plays the puppet master. Is Madame Sabrina and Chloe Tremaine’s friendship a threat to him? Let’s weave some nightmares that make them fight.

- Has a lot of Fun making Lila, XY and Felix’s life a living hell.

- (I also considered Megamind, HTTD’s villains, Kung Fu Panda’s villains, but, I think Pitch is the one who blends the best with the fairytale aesthetic).

Class of Heroes:

Shrogan (Shrek)

- Let’s be honest, this combination is perfect. Shrek has Logan’s sass and irony, and his movie is literally a satire of known fairytales.

- Shrogan started to study in the school recently. He wasn’t well received in the start because of his overly sassy and ironic humor.

- But, he is blending better with the rest, while learning that his appearance doesn’t matter that much. The inside is a lot more precious.

- He gets a long really well with QuasIvan. Being judged for your appearance is really not cool.

- Shrogan is still trying to explain to his classmates why ogres are like onions.

DC Kids:

Parents: Ben Tennyson and Kai.

- Ben 10 is not a part of DC, but it feels like it sometimes, so, the theme of outcast is still here.

- Logan Tennyson started to go to the school to find out more about his parents disappearance (he suspects the Justice League or the Arkham Villains have something to do with it).

- He goes to the heroes class, and helps them fight against Bustier’s students… but, he doesn’t get along well that much with the other hero kids. He still suspects their parents…

- The Aliens he has access to are: Heatblast; Big Chill; Jetray; Echo-echo; Upgrade; Ripjaws; Chromastone; Pesky Dust; Four Arms; Feedback; Way Big and Alien X. (He doesn’t have only 10, cause he has had his omnitrix for a while and already unlocked some more aliens… besides, it’s really rare for him to use Way Big or Alien X).

- The villains are freaking scared of him. That boy can be anyone and do anything. He is not predictable, and can be too intense sometimes.

(I also considered Fran Bow and Coraline Jones).

Marvel:

- Parents: Luz Noceda and Amity Blight. Look, Marvel is owned by Disney. So, again, the theme is still here.

- Logan studied on Hexside his whole life, but his mothers wanted him to experience a bit from Earth. And, what’s better than a school that is already used to kids with powers?

- He wants to learn a bit about everything, but he is better at Illusion, Oracle and Abomination magic. He is relatively well at Potions, Construction and Healing. He has a hard time with bard magic. He is awful with Plants and Beast Keeping.

- Studies with the heroes, and is pretty chill with everyone. The one he gets along the best with is Adrien.

- Marc constantly tries to trick him with his powers, but Logan is too good at Oracle and Illusions to fall for that.

- Lila once tried to read his mind… she regretted soon after a fiery inner Logan tried to burn her alive.

- His palisman is a rabbit named Ralph.

Honestly I feel like people can be pretty overdramatic about Omniverse. Like I don’t have a problem with people criticizing it but like damn you don’t have to spend so much time nitpicking a cartoon

I can kind of agree with this. But at the same time, if that's how people enjoy the show, they can! While I myself don't enjoy nitpicking, I understand why people would. They just want to see the best version of the show, that or... They don't like the show. Which, both are valid.

I enjoy the entire franchise for what it is, flaws and all. It fun to watch, it has an ungodly amount of lore, world building and potential, and it just has some of the most loveable characters.

And yes, while I have a bais for Omniverse in particular, it doesn't mean I dislike the rest of the franchise! I adore OS and UAF! I don't like putting the eras in boxes, at least, not anymore. Having this whole... {Iteration} is better than {iteration} argument is so tiring. The shows genuinely don't need to be put up against each other, especially just to elevate the enjoyment of another one. Just say you have a favorite one, and we can call it a day.

Another thing I've grown to dislike is people accusing the writers or designers or things, as if they were in the room while they were making the show. Like, it's perfectly fine to not like designs, writing decisions and other things in the show. Its also perfectly fine to criticize things in the show. That's normal! But going after the people who were involved in the making of it is kind of weird, and a bit mean-spirited. A lot of people forget how much time and love went into the making of this show, especially with Cartoon Network breathing down their necks the entire time. Being one of the most profitable IPs sounds like a good thing, but in reality, so much of what is done in the show is controlled by the company.

One of the biggest lies and misconceptions is the whole "DJW hated jetray, so he didn't put him in OV" thing. That's just... A lie! A straight up, boldfaced lie! CN is the one who decided which aliens got to be cut from OV, not DJW. Brainstorm almost wasn't in OV, because toy sales for that alien were very low. But they snuck him in as much as they could anyways. There were just... Some that couldn't make it in. And I think that's okay. Ben used almost all his known aliens in the show, and the ones that didn't make it were turned into background characters so the species still had a spotlight.

But yeah. Going back to the initial ask, I feel somewhat the same. People treat all of the shows (except maybe OS) really weirdly in this fanbase. Its either "UAF was too dark and edgy! It has terrible writing and animation" or "OV was too silly and corny! The writing sucked! It had a terrible art style!"

These can both be true for individuals. But their opinions don't make it objective. I don't think my opinions are objective, as my entire view and views on the show are subjective.

And I must reiterate. Criticism for the show is fine. Its good, and healthy to have criticism for a show you like. You don't have to like everything in a show. I don't like every single thing done throughout the franchise, but I can still say it's my favorite series ever.

Criticism ≠ lack of enjoyment

But saying your views are "the right views", and treating your opinions as objective, does tend to make it a less enjoyable fanbase.

As someone who spent a lot of time in the mindset where I was hyper critical of the show, I can say that I genuinely enjoyed the show less because of it. But as soon as I took a step back, accepted the show for it's flaws, understood that it's not perfect and it doesn't have to be, I fell in love with it all over again. I still have things I don't like. I still have nitpicks and criticisms. But I don't think that hinders my enjoyment of the franchise. And that only applies to me (and by extension, people who feel the same), as I'm not saying that those things don't affect other people's enjoyment.

My whole thing is, as long as you're being nice to the people in the fanbase, you're fine. You can talk negatively about any of the shows, as long as you treat other people with respect. Especially if they have different opinions. Shows don't have feelings. People do. Talking down to somebody for different views, headcanons, or a different way they enjoy the show is unhealthy.

You wouldn't believe how much hatred the fans have for each other for having differing opinions on things about the show. Like, I've seen people get genuinely mad at things like crossover ships or LGBTQ headcanons. It's crazy. Just let people enjoy the show how they want to enjoy it. And if you don't agree with someone, that's fine. Just don't make drama out of it. Or at least, don't involve the entire fanbase into it. Unless someone is doing something genuinely wrong. That's a whole different story, though, and a bit off the point.

Anywho, thanks for the ask! Sorry this was a long post, as the only thing I'm really critical of is the fanbase itself nowadays. But I do enjoy talking about the show, positively or negatively! I like understanding things better, and you don't understand things fully until you've heard the perspective of others, I like to think!

#long post #opinon #ask #probably not going to answer stuff like this in the future #as i prefer to talk publicly about the show itself rather than the fans of it #i dont like the drama that's involved when talking about views on this fanbase #i do enjoy talking about the show though #throw me headcanons and questions about the franchise! #i love those kinds of asks #especially about speculation on aliens #i adore talk of the aliens or lore of the show #ben 10 talk #not gonna tag this in the main tags cus i dont want things to get too cluttered there #especially with something thats not directly about the show

This is a supplementary post for my Rook Gets The Omnitrix AU fic. This post explains which aliens he has and why I choose them.

I love the original ten aliens and I think they’re an amazingly balanced set but for this fic, I wanted to have some underused aliens and just do something different to keep it fun without making OCs. A balanced team generally has water (Ripjaws), fire (Heatblast), energy/ electric/ tech (Upgrade), flight (Stinkfly), smart (Grey Matter), speed (XLR8), building/ versatility/ resistant (Diamondhead), Sensory (Wildmutt), and some kind of unique power (Ghostfreak). Plant manipulation, duplication, and sound are also core powers, I think. Sticking to this formula, here are the aliens I went with for this story:

1. Tidetail Wave

One of the creators confirmed that the Omnitrix has DNA of other Earth species, including the dolphin and white lab mouse. I knew I wanted to use one so I went with the dolphin. There is no canonical name for this transformation so I’m calling it Tidetail Wave.

Since this is an animal we have in real life, I wanted to keep Tidetail’s powers realistic and I’m not taking any creative liberties with this guy. Dolphins powers include swimming, echolocation, sharp vision, electroreception, mud rings/ mud nets, agility, intelligence, enhanced healing and ability to produce natural painkillers, holding their breath for a long time, and incredible speed in the water.

I originally picked Tidetail because he covers the water part of the team but he also covers sensory. Dolphins can use echolocation, meaning they can emit sound and listen to the way it bounces off objects to mentally map their surroundings, and they can also use electroreception, meaning they can sense the electrical impulses that living things give off and use them to find them if their sense of sight is restricted. 

The power I was most interested in was the mud rings/ mud nets dolphins make. In shallow water, they can kick up the sand below to create these rings to trap and disorient prey. I feel like it would be pretty cool to see this in combat.

The Omnitrix usually scans the “ideal” form of a species (as shown in the second Omniverse video game) so Tidetail would be stronger than the average dolphin. Dolphins are already pretty strong and can have pretty wicked teeth designed for latching into things. They’re naturally pretty resistant, have a healing ability several times as strong as humans, and can continue on with injury which would be useful in combat.

2. Archfiend

This is another alien that has been implied to exist by Derrick J. Wyatt but has not been confirmed. We can assume Archfiend’s DNA is in the Codon Stream though and we have seen Benzarro use a version of this alien called Archfiendzarro.

This alien has enhanced strength and durability and hellfire powers but I imagine that any kind of advanced fire techniques are something this alien must learn and just has regular fire powers by default. 

As you can assume, Archfiend would fill the fire slot on this set of aliens. There aren’t a lot of options when it comes to fire aliens. I decided not to go with Heatblast since I wanted to limit the number of original aliens that we see and I didn’t go for Swampfire because he seems a bit too powerful for a beginner Omnitrix wielder to have. I felt like Archfiend was different and unique so I wanted to try him. Plus, I eventually wanted Rook to visit Anur Transyl and I felt like Archfiend would be a good alien to use there.

3. Antigravitesla

Antigravitesla is one of the aliens made for the Latin American commercials but never seen in the show. Antigravitesla has control over gravity but he has trouble controlling his powers. The commercial is only a few seconds so we don’t see much of him but he seems to be very powerful, maybe too powerful for a beginner but I think the inability to control Antigravitesla’s powers balances it out. Since he cannot be easily controlled, he cannot be used as much or very well and it also presents a challenge to the Omnitrix bearer.

I wanted to take some creative liberties with this alien and give him some electrical powers as well since he is named after the man who designed the modern alternating current electricity supply system, thus allowing him to take the place of energy alien on the set. I did consider going for Upgrade or Brainstorm on this one but Antigravitesla is my favorite commercial alien and I wanted to take on the challenge of writing an alien like this.

4. Terrorsaur

Terrorsaur is one of the Tom Perkins aliens that he made for fun and was not based on anything in the show, though he did intend for this guy to be a Ben 10K alien. Terrorsaur is a flying alien with the ability to cause terrifying hallucinations. I choose him to cover Stinkfly’s flying ability and some of Ghostfreak’s spookiness.

Like with Antigravitesla’s powers, I think the hallucinations may be a bit overpowered but, the Omnitrix bearer can’t always use all of an aliens powers right off the bat. I think that at first, Rook would only be able to use Terrorsaur for flight and master the rest of Terrorsaur’s powers later on.

A lot of the Omnitrix aliens can fly but Stinkyfly is pretty much the only one good for riding. I didn’t want to use Stinkfly though and it wasn’t that difficult to settle on Terrorsaur. I really like this alien and I think his scary appearance would be fun to write.

5. Four Arms

I think we all know who Four Arms is. He’s got super strength, thick skin, and not much else which makes him an excellent beginner alien. When it comes to strength, I didn’t want to pick someone too overpowered and I also wanted to have a balance of unique and recognizable aliens. Four Arms felt like a good choice. 

I did consider using an Acrosian (Fistina’s species) since supposedly the Omnitrix does have that DNA. I thought it may be funny but I already named Tidetail and I didn’t want to have too many forms without canonical names since that feels a bit like OC territory and I didn’t want to do that. I also considered Atomix or Humungasaur but I thought that would be too overpowered.

6. Juryrigg

I had a hard time settling on who to pick for the smarts category. Grey Matter and Brainstorm are probably the best choices since their intelligence covers a lot. I also was leaning towards Gutrot for awhile, even if his knowledge is mostly surrounding chemistry, before I settled on Juryrigg. Juryrigg’s intelligence is surrounding machines which I think is a good supplement to Rook’s interest in cars. He needs to be used responsibly but his powers are good in and out of combat. Plus, he’s pretty fast and he’s got claws which is a good skill to have if he ever is separated from machinery. 

7. XLR8

Like with fire, there aren’t a lot of options for speed. The main options are XLR8, Fasttrack, Skidmarx, and Jetray. I love Jetray but I already had flight, water, and energy covered. Jetray may be too overpowered for a beginner. I’m not too familiar with Fasttrack and I almost went with him for that reason. I really wanted to use Skidmarx but we don’t actually know his powers and from what little we do know, I thought he might be a bit overpowered.

Like Four Arms, I think XLR8 is a good strong but simple choice. They’re also fairly recognizable and I wanted to have a few aliens who characters would recognize. Plus I really like XLR8.

8. Bloxx

I almost went with Diamondhead for this spot. Diamondhead is an amazing alien and one of my favorites. His crystal building can be used in many ways and he is very strong and durable. But, I decided to go with Bloxx which is basically just a weaker, more bendy version of Bloxx.

Bloxx gets a lot of hate and I think he was mostly used for comical reasons in Omniverse but I think he is a good beginner alien and he had potential if he is used right.

9. Kringl The Summoner

Like Terrorsaur, Kringl is one of Tom Perkin’s designs that he made after the show and is technically noncanonical. I picked this guy to fill the miscellaneous slot but his powers are kind of similar to Ditto’s. Kringl has the power to summon energy constructs that resemble elves. I imagine he also has some kind of enhanced strength or durability and some kind of ice powers like Artiguna. I also feel like he would have some kind of mental link with his energy elves. Maybe he has weak senses and he relies on them to navigate? 

I’m not sure if Kringl is overpowered or underpowered but I wanted to use him. I feel like he’s a very unexpected alien who can be pretty useful. 

10. Wildvine

Last but not least, Wildvine. Plant powers were not on the original squad but I think they’re a core ability. Swampfire is a bit too strong but Wildvine has a good set of powers. Plant manipulation, regeneration, stretchy limbs, digging, and seed bombs make a diverse skillset. Plus, Wildvine is a classic alien who was not part of the original set. He’s fun, he’s strong, and chances are his powers will be pretty useful on Revonnah.
