Rising Beast | Garou Reader x Invincible
Y/N was once just a regular boy growing up on Earth - a planet constantly torn apart by superheroes, aliens, and villains. But unlike most kids, Y/N didn't look up to heroes. He feared them.
As a child, he watched helplessly as "heroes" leveled half his neighborhood battling a villain. His parents were among the many who died that day - innocent lives reduced to collateral damage. The heroes got applause. The villain got blamed. No justice. No accountability. Just a scared, grieving boy left to make sense of a broken world.
But fate wasn't done with him yet.
Not long after, he was adopted by a kind-hearted woman - someone who didn't have powers, but who showed him more strength and compassion than any cape ever had. She raised him with love, patience, and empathy. She helped keep the rage from consuming him completely.
Still, Y/N couldn't forget what happened. That fear. That helplessness. It never left him.
At 13, he began to train - quietly and obsessively. Martial arts, self-defense, and street fighting became his escape, his coping mechanism. He trained not to become a monster, but so he'd never feel powerless again. Under the guidance of Bang, a legendary martial artist, Y/N honed his skills to deadly perfection. Bang tried to steer him toward becoming a true hero, but something inside Y/N stayed fractured.
Now older, stronger, and sharper than most who wear the title "hero," Y/N walks a dangerous path - not out of hatred, but because he believes someone has to hold the powerful accountable. He hunts corrupt heroes, dismantles villain syndicates, and brings fear to those who misuse their gifts.
Some see him as a monster. Others as a savior.
But Y/N? He doesn't care what they call him.
He doesn't want to destroy the idea of heroes.
He just wants to fix it - even if that means becoming the villain in someone else's story.
