Blackout [a miniseries]
What does justice turn into when it is denied countless times? Vengeance. Before the original man behind the mask lost himself to the moniker known as an omen of death for all corruption, he was known as Slater LeBlanc. A family man, who though still troubled, tried his best despite it all. After his military career was yanked out from underneath him, and one unrelated, botched execution later that left both of his parents and his baby brother dead, it was too many injustices stacked upon each other. The weight was crippling, and a man trained to survive and be the apex predator did what he knew how to do best... hunt, and kill. The story of Blackout doesn't end with Slater LeBlanc, however. Even after he retires the mask, the ghost lives on. Waging a war against all who stand in their way of getting what they believe is the justice they deserve. * This will be a limited, shorter story. The chapters will be more like their own individual solos, but all still tell the overarching and interconnected story of Blackout. This story will have depictions of graphic violence and major death, if that is triggering to you then you should not read this. Otherwise, buckle up. This tale is an insanely tragic one that chronicles just how the LeBlancs aren't allowed to have any happy endings. *
